Aww, thanks guys!

Hmmm, my trick. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in 2 weeks and they are actually really great dresses! I had to "try the dress on" last night to make sure it fit...

Can I join? I really need to encourage the sexy beast within me! I always wear make-up, fix my hair, but boy do I need to do something with my nails! And let's not even talk about feet....
I'm currently on a diet and have more to lose. That is my biggest battle. The hungry beast usually beats the sexy beast up! I have got to do something to give the sexy beast an edge, KWIM!

Oh I want to join......have been feeling really frumpy lately. I have about 15 pounds that I would like to lose and need some new shoes......and the list goes on and on HEHE.

On a positive note.....since I have to go to work everyday I do at the very least put my make up on and brush my hair LOL Yeah ME

I desperately need my eyebrows waxed & something done with my hair though. So that is my goal for this weekend! Reminder to self call and make an appointment tomorrow

Can I join the club! huh, huh can I pleeeeaaasssse????

Because right now, I'm the beast without the sexy in front of it! My hair big and fluffy, never wear make up, gained weight... Its really sad.

I used to be the Hot Chick! What happened?!

My dh and I have both gained around 20 lbs each since starting our adoption forever ago... We used to be so active- beach, walks, bikes, kayaking now we sit at home and watch tv stay close to the phone kinda things...

For dinner tonight, fried shrimp and french fries all home made(father in law owns seafood business so we have a key)... Oh so good, but sooo wrong!

Tomorrow is a new day and I will do better... I want to be the hot chick again!!!

4everwaiting: Whadda ya mean, "I used to be the hot chick?" Honey, let me tell you...I am still the hot chick, only now that hot chick is accompanied by a fan (gotta try to cool those hot flashes somehow).

Let me tell ya...I truly am one sexy beast.

Ah, uh, oh...whoops...I put my son's glasses on again. Eww, what is that I see in the mirror????

Hahaha, Debbie... I was about to say something about my mirror, they have all become defective...

It was sooo sad, I got out of the shower the other day, looked up to see my self in the mirror, I thought OOOMMMGGGG there was no fog from the shower the mirror was clear... Next time, I'm taking a HOT shower so the mirror will steam up and all will be right with the world... I get dressed look in the mirror (towel the steamed off the mirror,, voila! I look decent, much better with clothes on!

That does it, I'm never taking a shower with cool water again- its either hot showers to steam all the mirrors or showering with my clothes on...

This is so awful I can't believe I'm about to admit it.

The other day, I was going through the Starbucks drive through and I looked over and thought "Wow - that girl looks like she's in rough shape"

And it was my reflection in the window! UGH!!! My hair was totally flat and I had not a stitch of make up on.

Needless to say, I will NEVER leave my house without mascara again!

I have to join please.

I need a haircut...new style maybe color...like yesterday. And not because it's blah but because I did my normal thing yesterday before running out the door and stopped dead in my tracks. I grabbed my shoulder lenght hair, twisted it around a bit and used a clip to hold it in place, ends flopping over a bit in the back. My bangs swept over to one side like always. I put on my 3 month old "new" super cute glasses and insted of thinking "ok I look cute" I gasped...oh God I look like Sarah Palin. Now I'm NOT brining politics over here...NOT *lol*...as much as I like this chick I CAN NOT go food shopping as a SP double. I can't!!! My own mom looked at me yesterday and said "you're freakin' me out".

I need to toally reinvent my sexy beast

*help*

Ahhh. Binkybear, it can't be that bad!!! I agree, a revamping of your sexy beast may be in order-especially if SP has copied "your look" hehe... Hey wait a minute, if she makes it to VP you could 'do' Vegas and make a bundle!!! lol- it is a thought!
