I think we all get so enmeshed in our writing that even working out seems like a time waster to us. I need to get out of that mindset.<br /><br />I need to find my resolve again and lose the weight one last time. And this time I will keep it off! But there's not point in worrying about it now. I'll put the big push in when I return.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-64677803930722477732010-07-19T06:34:01.657-05:002010-07-19T06:34:01.657-05:00Thanks Talli: I will have fun.

It's going to be so much fun. I'll try to absorb as much as I can and share it with you vicariously. In the meantime, I say new shoes and a dress are in order.

W...Hi Kathy: I'm glad you have your Rita Dress! Way to go. I am hitting TJ Maxx, Ross and Marshalls this week. Then I'll go to the one boutique I figure might have something I like. And I definitely am getting new shoes. My shoes from last year were great, but by the end of the conference, my feet were too swollen to wear them -- I had to wait till M&M to wear them. So this year I am getting a more sandal type shoe that is more forgiving, but still cute.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-32472703808248335712010-07-18T00:01:22.655-05:002010-07-18T00:01:22.655-05:00We are both going through the same problems, Chris...We are both going through the same problems, Christine, with one exception... the pretty feet. I'm not a fan of my feet. They are big, titanic BIG, and I've never thought they were pretty. But they do provide me with a sturdy foundation so I supposed I can't complain too much.<br /><br />I have the dress to wear to the Rita's but I haven't narrowed down the rest. Go figure... By the end of this coming week, I should have it all figured out. LOL!<br /><br />Good luck dress shopping. I LOVE to shop! Ross is my very good friend. ;)Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-13903760119014173902010-07-17T17:34:14.509-05:002010-07-17T17:34:14.509-05:00Thanks MaryC--I will not take my pretty feet for g...Thanks MaryC--I will not take my pretty feet for granted. To be honest I used to worry I'd end up with my mom's feet. She had corns and horrible bunions. But nope. Course. I was lucky and quit my waitressing career before it destroyed my feet. I'll take a picture of my shoes if I find the right pair.<br /><br />Vanessa Boutique sounds like my kind of place :-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-60083372149242698762010-07-17T17:30:57.183-05:002010-07-17T17:30:57.183-05:00Okay, Christine, so your write this wonderfully fu...Okay, Christine, so your write this wonderfully funny and endearing blog and all I can come away with is jealousy over your shoes and cute feet! I used to LOVE shoes. I had closets full of shoes. My husband finally had to ask who this Vanessa was who kept showing up on our credit card bill - just the cutest little shoe boutique off 5th Ave. <br /><br />But now - after years of teaching and being on my feet all day - merely looking at cute shoes sends my now not-so-pretty feet into spasms. <br /><br />So I'll envy you your shoe shopping and hope that everything else falls neatly into place.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.com
