Like I mentioned earlier, I was at Joanne’s this morning after my doctor’s appointment. I walked by and even touched some of the bolts of spring fashion fabric but did not actually stop to handle and drape any of the fabric on myself.
Last year, I made a few summer dresses and even made one for my friend. The dresses I made were based on two patterns only. :mrgreen: I told myself, the patterns worked, and I had success using them!
It is at times like this, that I wished my good friend, Carol was living near by. She’s the one who sewed most of my clothes when I still lived in Malaysia. Of course now, I would only ask her for advice on the use of certain patterns, because I would really like to improve my dress sewing skills.
I still have fabric that I bought for summer dresses from two and three summers ago which I never got around to using. No, none of them looks dated because the fabric looks like linen but isn’t and that linen look is still popular this year.
That was why, at Joanne’s today, I had to steel myself and not buy anything which I wasn’t ready use!
I love sexy lingerie as much as the next woman but there have been many times in the past where I had to leave a lingerie shop without buying anything. The problem? I did not find bras that I was happy with to go with the matching panties. The panties usually look fine, but the bra had cups that were just not my size. Yes, the the bras did say cups A, or B, but those cups A and B were still too large for me. It can be very frustrating!
I have several bras that I bought and hardly ever used because after wearing them once or twice, they did not feel comfortable on me especially the size of the cups.
I quite envy those who are better endowed than I am and can easily find bras that fit their shape that much more easily. My sister-in-law is one person who is petite but yet has such nicely shaped breasts. My brother on his travels would buy her sexy lingerie like Chantelle Bras and other bits of lacy lingerie some of which even made her blush!
But of course she still wore them because after all who wouldn’t want to look and feel sexy in front of one’s husband?
Have you been on one of those days when you just don’t feel like cooking? Last night was one such day. I told Doug maybe we could go out and maybe grab some fast food for dinner. But it was raining and gusty all yesterday. So I thought, I was not going out in that kind of weather!
Late this morning I had a doctor’s appointment and after that I went to Joanne to see if there was anything I could pick up from their post season sales. Nothing actually. It was already past noon when I left Joanne and my stomach was grumbling away.
Okay, how about I pick up some Chinese food to go? There was a Panda restaurant, a Chinese fast food restaurant, not far from Joanne.
I love Chinese food, but they can be too salty. Not the best kind of food for someone who also has to watch her salt intake!

Recently I started a food blog that dealt mostly with diabetic friendly cooking. I know my fellow food bloggers will find www.foodconnect.com a very good place to share and try recipes.
I really have to try the Risotto with Anchovies, Capers and Olives recipe. I know I will want to substitute the arborio rice with brown rice since I am watching my carb intake.
I love crock pot cooking as well and I am eager to try the different recipes found at foodconnect.com!
The girls had their turn last night and I was most impressed with the performances of Syesha Mercado and Ramiele Malubay.
Tonight was the first results show of the season. I enjoyed the 60s medley the 24 contestants sang. They sounded very professional together and their outfit was sooo 60s! I just love it!
Ramiele was among the most emotional tonight at seeing Joanne Borgella and Amy Davis leave the show. I’m sure she was sorry to see Garret Haley, and Colton Berry leave too. Danny Noriega was the most emotional of the guys.
I think everyone in the final 24 is very talented but at this stage of the competition the right song and staying consistent is the make it or break it for each one of them.
There are now 20 left in the competition and next week will see 4 more leave the show.
If you haven’t seen Ramiele sing the other night, here’s the video.
