Experiments in a Galley Kitchen: By the wayside

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts - say hello and let me know what you think!

By the wayside

I looked up to the person I was talking to yesterday and asked if it was weird that I was ready for the weekend.

People, it was Tuesday when I asked that. TUESDAY.

Sigh.

This will end up being quite a long week. It seems like my last few weeks have just been long weeks and the weekends just fly by.

Things fall by the wayside as my life gets more and more hectic. Work is hectic and stressful. Family life is hectic and stressful.

Does it seem that your life flies by more quickly as you get older?

And I need your opinion. So if you skip all the above, please, please leave me your pick for a dress for Mr. Potts' sister's wedding.

Please?

The dresses below are what I've narrowed it down to. I'd like to be able to go in, try on one dress and be done with it.

The dress must be long & must be the color lapis. Which in David's Bridal color means purple. Not a true lapis.

Harumph.

Choice #1

Choice #2

Choice #3

Lapis was my original wedding color since I was originally getting my dresses from David's Bridal, but they were so rude and unhelpful that I nixed that idea.
I love the color, though! And my new color is quite similar.; June 15, 2011 at 8:58 AM

MCW said...: Well. I would go with #3 only because I could wear a bra with it and be comfortable. But, if that isn't an issue I would actually go with #1. I think it is a little more classic, and you look great in strapless. But it's a hard choice!

I hope this weekend rejuvenates you!; June 15, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Dee Stephens said...: I'm with Mols. I would go with three but that is because of the boob thing too.
You do look good in strapless though...; June 15, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Lacey Bean said...: 2 or 3. I think 1 looks funny in the picture.

And that so isn't lapis... it's like, amethyst!; June 15, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Dancy said...: Another vote for 2 or 3. I'm really digging #2 but I think #3 has a bit more of a classical look. Lately I'm very conscious of looking back at pics & thinking "what the??" LOL; June 15, 2011 at 7:56 PM
