I made sure to take my super duper vitamin drink this morning. Since I'm not eating very well, it provides me with pretty much everything I need.
Did my hair & makeup and put on the size 10 jeans to make me feel good. I'm having a good hair day too.

Not2Fun,
You've got the hang of this thing. I got compliments on my hair all day long. Unbelievable. I must have really looked bad before!
Believer, hope you are out there tonight. I looked at the MB Photo thread. Was that the Harley that WH rode off into the sunset on??? Is that your dog or his dog??
BS - me 56
XWH - 57
12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.
6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.
9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me
Divorced as of 12/09 after 36 years

"Was that the Harley that WH rode off into the sunset on??? Is that your dog or his dog??"
Yep, it was brand new. I only rode it once, before the OW took over.
The dog is my beautiful Leo, the most wonderful pitbull in the world. Another sad story - we got him because his owner cheated on his wife and they were divorcing. They couldn't keep him because were selling their house. Had Leo for TWO YEARS (yes, I'm shouting). Well, they got back together and asked for him back. I couldn't believe it. But I gave him back, mainly because they were good owners - they trained him so well, she was a SAHM, and they had 2 little daughters who were heartbroken when they gave him up.
The dog was such a joy - a real dog for a goddess - he loved people, kids and even cats.

And not to TJ (but I will anyway), the Harley now belongs to OW and her hubby. I got it in the property settlement and gave it to OM, because in all of the big mess he behaved so nicely. He was fighting in Iraq when the affair started, and came home to no job and no wife, and a 12 year old daughter to care for.
When the affair ended, OW moved back in with her hubby. She is enjoying the bike.

I've kinda been following along and cheering all you Goddesses on, but I MUST comment on the baby doll tops.
Are y'all talking about the little empire waist tops that are gathered under the boobs? The kind of tops that look like the tops to my shorty pjs when I was a kid/teen?
If you are...I gotta tell ya', my husband's niece is a queen-sized lady, and she had one on last summer. She looked like she was PREGNANT!
I'm thinking more along the lines of something like a nice longish tunic style, with some pretty detailing and shaping in the waist would look much better on us queen-sized goddesses!

Yes. It must be a California thing, but they are very popular here. But the material is different than shorty pj's.
They cover up the tummy and are long enough to cover hips and love handles.
I guess they DO look like your PG, but when everyone is wearing them, it doesn't make a difference.

I went to the store to looking for some Burt's Bees facial bars and ran into some fantastic hair adornments.
Spent a lot, too much probably, but I'm always looking for ones that work in my hair and can never find them. The clasps are too small or whatever.
But these!! Too cool!!! Pretty sparklies and roses and all kinds of goodies!
So I went nuts.
But why not? I never spend money on me!
Definitely Goddess hair adornments!!! They rock!
Oh yeah, and some Purple Passion nail color, too! WOO!

not2fun sounds like you are REALLY getting the hang of this! I am a goddess in training too, I like this. I haven't been focused on MY looks, attire, much since having kids. Always looked presentable but probably not the best I CAN be. So I'm LOVING this thread, it helps me with ideas, checklist and I'm starting to feel a bit better about myself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Got my haircut yesterday, it was really getting out of hand. DH (dumb husband) didn't notice at first, when I mentioned something we were talking about in hair salon he said "I can't see where your hair looks cut"...to which I responded "well that's cause you don't really pay attention nor look at me." I didn't say it mean so I don't think it was a DJ BUT I did say it, didn't feel bad about saying, just stating my truth. Well lo and behold before he went to bed he says, ya know your hair does look cute from this angle!
OHHHHHHHHHHH and I bought jeans that were 2 sizes smaller than normal! YEHAW!!!!! My sorta kinda eating better is starting to pay off!

Good day ladies!
As usual, I'm not outta the nightie yet, but I'm enjoying my coffee and french toast, yyyyyuuuum! There are days when I feel DECADENT staying home. I get the WHOLE day to myself, to do whatever. I've never had this before, so it's very nice.
My girlfriend is coming over with her baby today, which will be fun. I'm off of the pain meds completely now; have some just in case I strain myself, but don't feel the need to be ON them all day long. I can't believe how much better I feel than last week. WHEW!
I need to eat more healthily; since the holidays, I've slipped. I just need to bring the fruits back in, and I'll be A OKAY--I'll start that today, for snacks.
Keep it up ladies. Being a goddess doesn't mean HARD work, it means focusing on you, feeling good, looking good. We all seem to forget ourselves along the way, don't we. It's just a matter of putting yourself first, top priority.

Morning Girls!! I have court today to go over child support and I'm going to ask the judge to do an income deduction order b/c my WH does NOT pay into the depository like he is supposed to. PLEASE say a prayer and cross your fingers. I know this is going to send my WH into ORBIT, he is going to be so mad. But what he doesn't know, is that I'm wearing my matching black lace bra and panties. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Oh god of sexy underwear, give me strength!!
