This weekend was very relaxing. Then it was back to work today. It wasn't too bad.

Today, I wore a Pendleton brown sleeveless dress, a Brooks Brothers camel merino cardigan, faux chocolate pearls and faux chocolate pearl earrings. Since I'm still not able to wear my brown shoes, I opted for my 25+ year old Bass weejuns. They are American made with an arch support. And, they fit my slightly swollen foot.

I'm having trouble losing the weight that I gained at the end of the year. Today, I decided to start riding my stationay bicycle. I'm going to ride it every day that I can. Starting March 1, I'm going to start exercising to an exercise video. I have several episodes of Gilad recorded. Thanks to The Classic Preppy, I found vidoes of Jack Lalanne on his website. I remember watching his show when I was young. I think everyone's mother exercised to his show. I have until March 1 to decide. If that goes well, I may start exercising to the New York City Ballet video. We'll see.

Right now, I'm watching Sex and the City. In a few minutes, Gossip Girl will be on. I guess this is my night for trash TV.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Everything went well on Thursday. I had two meetings that I had to play hostess. Both went perfect.

After work on Thursday evening, I stopped by Gus Mayer to try on a pair of Revas. I found the size that fit perfectly. I forgot that they close at 6:00. I realized it at about 30 seconds til. Then I went to Z Gallerie. I have a gift card that I need to spend. I didn't see anything that I wanted. I may have to cruise the store again.

Dinner at my boss's house went great. His wife prepared two kinds of soup, chili and a chicken type soup from Barefoot Contessa. To go with the soups, she prepared a big salad and some cheese biscuits. For dessert, she had baked Heath bar cookies and chocolate Heath bar tarts. The tarts were similar to chocolate pecan pie, but instead of pecans, she used Heath bars. Everything was perfect.

Yesterday, Queenie and I were the only two at work. We were caught up early and used the remainder of the day to relax. I typed the By-Laws of my ladies club. It is good to have that behind me. For lunch, I went to the Culinard Cafe and got the salad trio. It was good, except I spied some dark meat in the chicken salad. I thought that was against the law in the South. I felt like I needed a treat, so I bought an M&M cookie. Everything there is fresh and homemade. YUM! Since it was a day to relax, I wore a pair of khaki twill pants, pink turtleneck and navy birdseye cardigan. All were from LL Bean. I wore my pearls and a pair of Ralph Lauren antique looking silver hoops. Since no one was there, I wore my white leather Tretorns and a pair of Polo socks.

I left work early and drove to my mother's house. We decided to eat dinner at the Huddle House. We were both craving waffles, so we ordered waffles and sausage. It hit the spot!

Today, we have been doing a few chores and relaxing. Later, we have to go grocery shopping. We are both out of everything.

I hope everyone enjoys the remainder of the weekend. It is sunny and in the 60's here. I hope you are having better weather than in the past few weeks.

Yesterday and today have been fairly busy. I have been having to play hostess to some people that are using our auditorium for a class. Friday can't get here quick enough. Tomorrow, I have to play hostess for a meeting that my boss is having. I don't mind his. Tomorrow night, our entire department plus a couple of others have been invited to my boss's house for a casual dinner. This takes the place of our Christmas dinner that we didn't have, because the holidays snuck up on us. My boss's wife is a wonderful cook. She likes to cook "fancy" food. She said that she may just grill hamburgers, but I'm sure she will somehow make them "fancy". My boss has such a sweet family. Can't wait to visit with them.

What did I wear today? Let's see. I wore a navy wool skirt, a light blue Brooks Brother's merino wool twin set, Talbot's 15 inch faux pearl choker, and Talbot's large faux pearl earrings. Tomorrow, I am going to wear a black wool skirt, Talbot's black watch plaid blouse, pearls and pearl earrings. Since it is going to be chilly, I'm going to wear my Geiger black boiled wool jacket in lieu of a coat.

It will be foolish for me to go home between work and dinner. By the time I get home, it will be time for me to turn around and go back. I think I might go to Gus Mayer and try on shoes. I've been eyeing a pair of Tory Burch Revas. I haven't bought any shoes since I broke my foot. I did buy some Tretorns, but they don't count.

On a sad note, my dear sweet father passed away five years ago today. I miss him so much. I have such wonderful memories of him. I need to cheer up.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

I did not post what I wore this weekend, because I wore sweatpants and a sweater. I didn't venture out much.

Today, I wore a Austin Reed black skirt (I wear this skirt a lot), a Talbot's red turtleneck, a Talbot's grey wool cardigan with a collar and silver tone closures, a Williamsburg silver clockcase pendant and Morgan & Company square silver monogrammed earrings. Tomorrow, I plan on wearing a Brooks Brothers grey wool sleeveless dress, Brooks Brothers black merino wool cardigan, pearls, pearl earrings and a Williamsburg silver monogrammed oval brooch.

Tonight Gossip Girl returns. It is always interesting to see how it will turn out. The only problem is that Greek comes on at the same time. I will watch one and DVR the other.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

I planned on having a lazy weekend and that I have had. I did a few little chores yesterday morning, then I puttered for a while. Yesterday afternoon, I went to World Market to get some Mrs. Meyer's lavender detergent. They didn't have it. I did walk around the store. I saw so much stuff that was hard to resist, but I was good and walked out empty handed. I then went to the Fresh Market and they had the detergent. While there I bought BFF MAB a tin of Harney's Paris tea as a thank you gift for letting me camp at her house during the recent snow storm. I also got a Fine Cooking magazine and some snack mixes. I mixed three snack mixes together and made some trail mix. I have to be careful that I don't eat too much of it.

Today, I have just been sitting around, watching TV, playing on the computer and doing laundry. I have done a few chores, but not much.

In a little while, I am going to make a big pot of vegetable soup and finish my laundry.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Enjoy the remainder of the day.

Today is Friday, at last. Even though this was a short week, it seemed long. For some reason, I was fairly busy at work.

I'm still posting what I wear each day. Today, I wore my Talbot's black corduroy pants (from several years ago), a Lands' End white OCBD, a Brooks Brother's "346" camel cotton cardigan with a peter pan collar, pearls, gold heart locket, Lauren by Ralph Lauren gold tone hoop earrings.

After work, I went to Target and Publix. Of course, after I got home, I thought of several things that I forgot to get. I might go back to Target tomorrow.

My old gang from work was supposed to get together for lunch tomorrow. Three people are very sick and can't come, so we decided to reschedule. One person thought it was going to be too cold. Every forecast that I've seen says it is going to be partly sunny and 49. I know 49 is not warm, but it's not unbearable.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

As I said on Monday, I am going to post what I wear each day. It will motivate me to dress better for work. I welcome comments, both positive and negative. If I wear something that sounds too frumpy or unprofessional, I want to know.

Today I wore an Austin Reed black skirt, Talbot's red cotton turtleneck sweater, Geiger black boiled wool jacket, Morgan & Company monogrammed silver pendant, silver, black and red earrings, and a Tiffany narrow ID bracelet. I know, this is the same outfit that I wore on Sunday to church.

Tomorrow, I'm going to wear an Austin Reed navy skirt, Brooks Brothers light blue OCBD, J Crew kelly green cotton/cashmere cable knit crew neck sweater, pearls, gold heart pendant and gold earrings.

Now, I'm going to relax and watch a Poirot DVD.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday.
