Sharing the journey that has taken me from being a single girl in the advertising agency world to a married mommy running my own freelance writing and consulting business (and every random adventure in between).
THINGS I LOVE: Thunderstorms, power ballads, princess camping, exploring new cities, Jon Stewart, greatest hits CDs, clever ads, packing for a trip, George Clooney, impractical footwear, movies about spies, Starbucks, reading an entire book in one sitting, a house full of friends, movies about spies, buying presents, a perfect French manicure, warm modernist architecture, getting flowers for no reason, being faux brunette, Mary Poppins, making lists on Post-It notes, decorating for Christmas, having a brilliant middle-of-the-night 'aha!' idea and then actually remembering it in the morning / THINGS I HATE: People who whine, wearing sweats in public, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, birds, American tourists in foreign countries, taking down the Christmas tree, poems that rhyme, the misuse of semicolons, being lied to, unpacking after a trip, being closed-minded, naming your kid something common but then spelling it stupidly, cowboys, overly cautious drivers, fake curse words, ridiculously long surnames, strangers who start awkward conversations with you in places you can't readily escape

Have no fear Lindsay, I'll never fit into my wedding dress again. Someday I hope to have the joy of having Trinity try it on and see her in it. That's good enough for me.
lol, no kidding!
I probably will never fit into my wedding dress again either. Hope that makes you feel a little better!
I KNOW, right?!!! I loved reading this. Why didn't you put this one as your facebook status update?! LOL!
Sigh. Then again, if you're the one saying it, it makes you so happy, and I suppose there has to be room in the world for that...
Apparently, I'm not the only one...
I think the reason it bugs me so much is that it's only partially a personal accomplishment. Some of it is, for sure, especially if you've been working away at it and finally reach your goal. THAT'S AWESOME. (It's also PERSONAL, but that's another rant for another time.) But you can't tell me that a person who's wearing their pre-preggo jeans, prancing around town with their three week old baby *earned* that right through work and not genetics. THAT's my pet peeve.
Oops. Ranting again. Sorry :)
totally agree...I have been struggling with my baby weight forEVER! I don't think I'll ever be at the size I was before I first got pregnant, but, knowing that this body carried my kids (and is still carrying them :P) makes me feel okay with where I'm at...sort of :P
hehe - reason 8001 why baby before married rocks. I got married AFTER I had the baby, therefore I don't have a pre-baby wedding dress size to fit into. So it still fits.
The wardrobe I had before the baby AND the wedding dress, though? Whatever, MY WEDDING DRESS STILL FITS. hehe
oh, man, Lindsay, I know. SERIOUSLY. SOOOOOO annoying. I *could* brag about fitting into my wedding dress now, and how it's actually too BIG--but then I'd have to admit that it's because it's two sizes bigger than I would normally wear because I was four months' PREGNANT on my wedding day and had already gained 20 pounds!!!
