And then the sun came out...

...and I wrote one really good paragraph before Thumper would not be happy without his mama, which wasn't nearly enough writing but at least it was something.

And then the other bridesmaid hunted down a perfect two-piece solution from David's Bridal of all places and sent the link and fingers crossed that the bride goes for it. (The other bridesmaid has post-partum bod desire for two-piece as well.)

And then--get this-- the mail carrier delivered a box, and in that box was a whole lot of chocolate, sent by my beloved Norma. (Yes, I know she's your beloved Norma too. Certainly we can share the Norma love.) I've already had three truffles and a dark chocolate kiss. I'm totally stoned. (Having cut back on the sugar intake somewhat makes me a cheap date, chocolate-wise.)

So now I just need a bag of money or a book deal to fall from the sky and it'll be a pretty damn perfect turnaround of a day.

I'm glad things are looking up! This time of year is trying at best.

I still have my post-partum body, 11 years later...it always makes me think of Anne Lamott's comment from Operating Instructions: "I lay in bed, and my stomach lays besides me like a warm puppy."

Well the thought of you does NOT conjure up visions of refrigerators dancing in my head no matter what you say. But the new dress is better even if it is from David's (of all places)

Besos....

When you say turnaround, you MEAN turnaround.

Mmmm...chocolate (in my best Homer Simpson voice). Seriously, I am drooling right now.

I vote for the book deal. When that happens, I think I am going to be almost as excited for you as you are. Well, I imagine there will be an order-of-magnitude situation, but you get my drift.

Aww. That beloved Norma always knows just the right thing to do or say. :)

one good paragraph is better than no good paragraphs! :)

One of my future bridesmaids has a rather rectangular body as well and I've been concerned about finding a dress which would flatter her. Any chance you could share a picture of the dress you've found?

By the way, I ADORE the Acorn Hat! It looks both cute and functional. And I'm glad to hear a positive review of Knitpicks Swish.
