Results of Weight Watchers meeting: gained 1lb
Do I really want to lose some weight: yes
What I had for dinner tonight: Dominos pizza (with low fat mozarella)
What I'm eating right now: a chocolate flapjack
Doesn't really add up does it?
Blimey, I hate dieting. Food is such an easy, simple pleasure and one you can (must!) indulge in every single day. There aren't many pleasures like that. It's not as if I can have a full body massage and facial every day but I can pick up the phone and have a hot, gooey pizza delivered within half an hour. Now that is satisfaction.
Oh lord, and speaking of beautifying treatments.... I got sucked into the vortex that surrounds the cosmetics department at House of Fraser today. It spat me out half an hour later almost unrecognisable under half an inch of slap (that's make-up for the non-Anglicised Yanks reading this) and looking strangely orange. Amazingly, I actually bought two of the recommended products, both by Benefit - Lemon-aid 'to cover those dark circles under your eyes'. This was said by Dame Edna who seems to be working in Cosmetics at H of F these days. I also bought a quite nice peachy coloured powder called Georgia to give me 'a warm, happy complexion'. Warm and happy always sounds good. I think the Georgia was to blame for my orange tint but I won't use half the box when I apply it myself. And I can't even remember what I went in there for in the first place.
I was hoping to include a pic of my gorgeous boy with his first Pez dispenser. We bought it today and it's Dash from The Incredibles. He loves it. You can tell he thinks it must be the world's most amazing invention. It does make my little American heart beat faster to see him with it. I have very fond memories of Pez dispensers when I was growing up, Wonder Woman being the all-time favourite. Maybe they're an international thing. Pez certainly doesn't sound like an American English word. Anyone know the history of Pez? Anyway, having problems with images again. Just my lack of knowledge, experience, patience, etc. Hope to get it posted soon.
And now, off to pour a glass of wine and curl up with Desperate Housewives. So nice to get a weekly dose of glamour and scandal. British TV seems to be a lot of depressed and quite unattractive people.... but that's a whole new topic for another day. Good night!

It's a well known fact that HofF Cosmetics folk see colour in a different spectrum than the consumers. "A nice healthy glow" to them looks like "a radio-active goldfish glow" to the rest of us. Let me know how the Lemon-aid works out - I look like I've done 10 rounds with a boxer my circles are so black.
I'm v jealous about Desperate Housewives. I curled up on the sofa last night to yet another thrilling episode of Walker, Texas Ranger.
Gotta love Tokyo, gotta hate the telly.
Love to you all.

on our first trip to london to see liz and andrew, it was cosmetics week at M&S. i went to the MAC counter with liz for some under eye cover and asked for a nice size tub. the young sales girl climbed over the counter, took one look at my eyes and i will quote--"Have you considered cosmetic surgery?" i was rolling on the floor and liz and i were wetting our pants with glee. i took the confused young girl's picture with us and to this day, "have you considered cosmetic surgery" is one of our favorite phrases when we stroll down the cover girl aisle at the tesco or boots!!! for some reson, the estee lauder orange glow seems to be the color of any product that comes out of a tube. but be careful about georgia peaches...they are fuzzy and have a huge crack down their backside! you might want to rethink that stuff!!!! nana!
