swingchickieyesterday was a much-needed veg fest. unfortunately i don't mean "veg" in the culinary sense, which is something i really need to purge the junk food from my system. but jack and i spent the day relaxing and running errands, with a long nap thrown in for good measure, which was good for the soul.
one thing i did accomplish during the errand-run, though, was finding a pair of heels to go with the cocktail dress i bought for the cruise. i realized the other day that all my black heels fall into 2 categories: 1. boring work pumps (don't go with the dress at all), and 2. suede-soled dance shoes (not good for walking around the ship because the soles could get ruined). the problem is that i hate most dressy shoes i see in stores, they all seem to be made of very stiff satin and super-uncomfortable. but lo and behold, i checked out DSW and found a pair of dressy heels that are so darn sexy AND go with my dress AND were on sale:
hard to tell in the photo, but the front is a ruffle made out of thick grosgrain ribbon. looooooove! so, whew, cross that off my list.
all i can think about anymore is this cruise, it's awful. last night we booked an excursion in cozumel -- a mexican cooking class at a beach resort that i've heard is a ton of fun. i figure, jack loves to cook, and we both love to eat, so it's right up our alley. :) the belize excursion is up in the air, i was kind of hoping to find somewhere where i could have a massage on the beach, but so far no luck. we'll see. honestly, i'm at the point where i don't care if we get off the ship, have lunch, and get back on board to drink by the pool. i'm just happy we're going away, because i think this'll be our last vacation for a while.
in the meantime, tomorrow starts a new week. i'm going to be back on WW after a tumultuous 2-week hiatus, so i have a huge batch of taco soup simmering in the crockpot and i'm setting my alarm to get up early tomorrow to work out. nad my schedule is looking packed with meetings... so the days should go by fast.
