Oh shit

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD .....

Well here is a breakdown of my excuses and what happened about them:

I had to change my dentist's appointment.
I've got an appointment for Tuesday week - at night time, it was no drama. Now I just have to forget about it til then so I don't work myself up into a frenzy.

I won't be able to weigh in at Weight Watchers.
I would have registered a gain anyway. I knew that 2.4 loss last week was too freaky to be true! I will have to get back on track (more on that later) and be good all week so that I can at least stay the same for next week. I have no idea what i'm weighing as I haven't been on the scales since last Thursday morning. Hard to believe I know, but true nonetheless!

I'll miss my little DS.
He didn't miss me ONE bit. He had a ball. I'm sure Nanna fed him crap the whole time we were gone, but he's okay. He gave us a big hug when we got back there to pick him up and then continued what he was doing. Just goes to show that I miss him more than he misses me!

Who will feed the goldfish?
Oops, poor little Nemo has gone to the big goldfish bowl in the sky. This happened on the morning that we went away. DS hasn't even noticed yet that the tank is empty. I'm hoping he won't notice, i'm hoping that I will have time to clean the tank, get the water right and buy a new "Nemo (Mark II) before he notices, and he won't be any the wiser. It's my fault. I haven't looked after him. I kept saying "i'm too busy, i'll clean the tank next weekend" oops BIG OOPS. I promise to look after the next one better. (edit: DS just woke up while I was cleaning the tank and noticed that Nemo was gone. I lied and told him that he was in the shed cos I had to clean the tank and we can't put him back in til tomorrow. I'm such a bad mother.)

The house is a pig-sty and I should be home cleaning up.
Well i've been doing that today and since I don't go back to work til Wednesday I should have that all sorted out by then.

I need to do the groceries.
I've been eating crap all weekend (Maccas, cheese and biscuits, champagne, Peanut M&M's, lollies, etc). I really need to get back on track. I'm going to make a list and go do the shopping after dinner tomorrow night.

DH and I had a nice time in Port Macquarie. Rydges was gorgeous. The room was huge. We ended up going over to Panthers (the old RSL) and watching a guy sing. He was quite good. We had a few snacks and drinks in our room while we were getting ready so we didn't have dinner, but when we got home at about midnight we were starving so ordered room service. I fell asleep before it got there and DH polished off most of it himself and YES I did get a great night's sleep AND a sleep in til 8am - it's the first 8 hours sleep i've had in about three years!

The best thing about the room was the mirror. They had one of those cheating mirrors from the fun house at Luna Park that make you look skinnier than you are. I LOVED IT. I wanted to bring it home with me. The me I saw in the mirror is the me I want to be. I looked tiny. It was fantastic. I tried to take a photo but they didn't really work very well, in fact they're shit. I'm sure there's a way I could have taken the photo to get it to come out, but photographer i'm not, so I won't be posting any of them.

Another great thing was that I left my hairspray at home (stay with me, this is going somewhere) and I had to race over to Target to get a new can so I could curl my hair and be beautiful. While I was in Target I saw the most divine skirt. Sort of coffee coloured. I grabbed a size 14 and without trying it on just paid for it, the hairspray and left the shop. This skirt is THE most comfortable skirt i've ever worn in my life, it's gorgeous. It kind of made me think that maybe I should have got the size 12 cos it will probably be too big soon, but never mind - i'll just wear it everywhere so I get the use out of it.

So I wore my black top, my new brown skirt and my black boots. Just as an aside, but maybe too much information for some people. I haven't worn a skirt for ages because of my fat, chaffy thighs and it was always way too uncomfortable. I didn't have any stocking or pantyhose so I chanced it - not one bit of chaffing - NOT ONE!! I felt so comfortable and not fat or fugly at all. What a great feeling, I love it!!!!!

Anyway, fast forward to the next morning. We were packing up to get ready to go back and pick DS up and I saw the tag that DH had taken off my skirt the night before. I picked it up to put it in the rubbish, but something caught my eye and I had to have a better look at it.

You can all see where this is heading right?

It said "Size 12". Nah, I thought - they must have put the wrong tag on the skirt. So I went and got the skirt back out of my bag - Yep, Size 12!! The thing that really stumps me is that when I thought it was a size 14 I was thinking I should have got the smaller size! Pfffft - not possible. I'm not ready for size 10 yet, that's just ridiculous. No-one would believe me anyway! haha

Edit: For those of you who are asking "Yes" I will probably be wearing the skirt on Saturday night!! haha
