I need a vacation

from my vacation.

Seriously though...

It's great to be home, but wow what an agenda.

I'm getting to see tons of people, attend family functions, visit local haunts...

But that also means we're off our routine and my kids aren't napping, which makes my three year old naughty and me an ugly mommy.  It's a vicious cycle.

I'm also displeased to announce that I've gained FIVE POUNDS in a little more than a week.  GROSS!  What can I say?  Me and carbs don't get along - well we do - perhaps its my pants that don't get along with the carbs... In any event, I usually avoid refined sugar and only eat whole grains, so this whole eating tour of NJ thing I've got going on isn't exactly doing wonders for my waistline.  Yet the shortage of good Italian food in Rochester (there is none) is causing me to throw caution to the wind and possibly buy bigger pants.  You only live once right?

Once I get home,  I'll have exactly two weeks to drop the weight so I can fit in my (already too tight) dress for the White Party.  Super.

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the good eats with family and friends, which is good considering I have lunch and dinner dates EVERY DAY this week...as Fuccillo would say:  [I'm going to be] "HUGE, Rochester, HUGE!"

Hope you're week is off to a great start and that all your pants fit!

The Bangs Are Back in Town

If you read yesterday's post, you already know that I cut bangs again.  What you might not know is my motive.  My forehead fringe is in fact an effort to hide my forehead wrinkles (I can see them!) and a much cheaper alternative to Botox.  I am, however, having a little bit of chopper's remorse and can't decide how I feel about them.  I thought bangs were supposed to make you look younger - I think I look older.  I'm also crazy, so who knows?  Do they just need to grow in a little?  Or was this, yet another, hair fail?  You be the judge...

Before:

After:

I can't decide how I feel about them...

What do you think?  Sooo cute or sooo soccer mom?

Wearing Lately

Just a quick outfit post today...

Here's what I've been wearing lately:

DSW hat (didn't buy it), H&M dress and bangle, Target cowboy boots, Anthro belt,
Artwark necklace,  Michael Kors watch.
I got that bag at an accessories swap.  

MM Couture dress via Dado, Michael Kors watch,
F21 bangles, Nine West shoes, vintage bag

Had a great night out Thursday with my girlfriend Jeree.  We had dinner at Sushi Lounge and then drinks at the rooftop bar at the W in Hoboken.  She's still single and living the fabulous life, so it was nice to tag along.  Us mommies need to get out too, ya know :)

Enjoying the view (and the cocktails) with Jeree

I am also happy to report that I was not hungover at the zoo yesterday.  Yay!  It was a great day (a little hot, but great) and the boys had a blast.  And they both got new Bronx Zoo hats.  Too cute!

Anthro t-shirt, Old Navy shorts, F21 sunglasses,
Reef flip flops via Bikinis and More in Fenwick Island Delaware

OMG that face!  

That's all for now!

Off to my little cousin's 11th birthday party!

Have a great weekend!
