@Kris77, @Lynnlovesthebeach, Prove it! Let’s see ‘em 😉

I put my dress similar to yours on and it's way too big...here's one I wore last night though.

Your hair has got so much longer. Like the layers. What are you getting done - foils, highlights, all over colour,…?

If only i didn't cut it so many times, it would have been past my boobs by now! *sigh*

I actually went in to get a root perm...to fluff up the top of my head due to the the perm I had in the early summer growing out already. You can see how flat the hair is up top vs the bottom in the before pic on the left.

It was pretty funny looking when I first got it though...think 80's metal band lololololzzzzz.

Don’t you love being able to cross your legs like that so they rest against each other. Still get a thrill when I do it.

Hecks, ya! Sometimes I'll wrap the top leg behind the bottom leg, just cuz I can. When I was bigger, if I ever managed to cross my legs, my top leg would like stick out at a 90 degree angle!

I'm starting to go from the fuller kind like that to the more fitted kind too because just like you said, well, because I can!

Last night was Riverfire which concludes the month long Brisbane Festival - performances, street art, exhibitions, etc. Fireworks are always so glorious & appeal to the child inside. These are located along the river which meanders around the city, on floating barges, on bridges & tops of city buildings. Every vantage spot, apartment building or hotel along the river or with river views overflow with people watching the extravaganza all timed to music played by a local radio station. Thought you would enjoy a short burst.

VERY COOL! Thanks for sharing. Know what you mean by a pleated skirt. I LOVE this linen skort but it is a b***h to iron... I do love your black and white skirt with black T shirt AND sandals to die for! Looking gorgeous, as always. Missed out on the finger thing - hope all is well? Just ordered a great pair of hip, off white winter flats for trip in October. I think you'd approve!

Yeah, damn pleats. Love them but … That’s a lovely skirt, @Sophie7713. Would be worth the ironing torture I think. Especially love the white nail polish too.

How long will you be living in your temporary home & why a temporary residence? Are you building a new home or still looking for the perfect place for the three of you?

Oh my injury was a battle between a mandolin & a sweet potato & my thumb lost. They had to graft my skin back on. Silly thing to do but so limiting cause it was my dominant hand. God bless must nieces who took me to the hospital, did my washing, washed my hair, did some cooking for me.

Want to see a pxt of your new winter flats. These are my latest addition. Actually, that’s not true. There have been several other shoe purchases. Hello, my name is arabesque & I have a shoe addiction. 😉

Took my 18 y.o. to their very first concert on 9/10/21 for an early birthday gift... went to see Between the Buried and me. Their all time favorite group.. (heavy metal). They just turned 18 this past weekend. We had a blast.

I purchased this outfit from hot topic back in August. Its a Junior's XL. And by the time I got to wear it, it was a bit large on me. But over the 30 day exchange period. But that's OK. I did go back to HT and buy another cute skirt to wear to Badflower in a couple of weeks...a junior size L. I cannot wait for that show because the following morning s my skin removal surgery !!

Went to a pumpkin patch with my kids. This is one of our family traditions and I’m glad they are “too cool” for it yet.

Truly an NSV!! 👍👍 I am looking forward to the day I can wear riding boots, for fashion only. (My daughter is the equestrian.)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
