confessions of a sugar addict

Wednesday I had little sugar all day. I had my morning medicinal honey and a tiny bit of white Godiva chocolate with lunch...and by tiny I mean I've split the squares into fourths and had 1 of the divided pieces. Then in the evening we all went up to Madison for my Irish Step class. Afterwards Ben asked for ice cream because that is what we did last week. I agreed if we all split a small ice cream...it would be okay. So we went to an shoppe that served up local Wisconsin made full cream, full taste really good ice cream. We shared a small cookie dough between us and I thought it would be okay.....

Not so. Granted Sam woke up for an hour around 3am so I was tired from that, probably. However, I woke up with what I can only describe as a hang over. I could barely get out of bed, was woozy and light headed. I wobbled downstairs, drank some Mona Vie straight from the bottle and a spoonful of natural, no sugar peanut butter. 30 minutes later I was feeling better, enough to get into the shower and not worry about keeling over.

Ben wanted to go for a walk to "see the flood" and I agreed that some exercise might help get the sugar out of my system. We did just that and I have felt much better.

I just finished my third book about the evils of sugar. This last one was Sugar Shock! Chances are it's available at your library...slid on over and check it out. Like right now, before sugar fog makes you forget!

Loads of water!

The Flood

The waters are supposed to have crested this weekend and should be going down now. I can't wait because the road closings have made it tricky to get to places in a speedy manner. I'll post more pictures later as Sam is a little handy at the moment.

Bought a Dress

I bought a dress at Boston Store yesterday. It wasn't the one I went there to try on...that one cost a lot more and the fabric seemed to be prone to pulling. I found this one on the clearance rack. I have not been able to find the actual dress on the Internet...but I found the same brand and style in a different color. The one pictured is Black/nude and the one I bought is black/lavender...but it looks darker because it is under the black overlay.

What does one wear to meet Julie Andrews?

For those of you who don't know, (ie you aren't on Facebook or don't pay attention to status) Morgan and I have VIP tickets to meet Julie Andrews after a concert on July 11.

"Julie Andrews hosts a magical evening of musical gifts, old and new. Performed by five guest vocalists with Ms. Andrews narrating, the first half of the program takes audience members on a musical journey illuminating the glorious gifts that Rodgers and Hammerstein gave to the world.
The second half of the evening features a new work, Simeon’s Gift, adapted from Ms. Andrews’ best-selling children’s book, co-authored with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton. Bridging the worlds of music, literature and theatre, with a score by Ian Fraser and lyrics by John Bucchino, Simeon’s Gift will be performed by the five vocalists with a full symphony orchestra. Julie Andrews serves as storyteller, weaving the enchanting tale of a 15th century minstrel on a quest to discover his own true gift. A once-in-a-lifetime musical event! "

So it would seem that I need a dress appropriate for this occasion. I've posted some dresses for your consideration. Please remember, I don't have much time!!! If you have come across a dress that you think I should consider....Please submit it!
