Self critique:
Poor planning on lunch. Got up late to talk to my mom about wedding plans and then went to a bridal show with my sister. I didn't eat any of the cake samples, which was good. Honestly, it was because the lines were too long, I was claustrophobic and I figured I didn't need a sample anyway. I feel like I just volunteered myself to get a lot of unwanted phone calls and e-mails. I really didn't like the predatory attitude. I have made most of my wedding decisions, but it was good to brainstorm some new ideas and get some DJ vendor business cards.

I went straight from there to shopping for a dress for a dance routine I'm in. I had fun hanging out with some new friends. I tried on some dresses they picked for me and they kept teasing me that I didn't think I looked good and they said I did. It was nice to see the change in me and how well some things were fitting. That really made me happy. Some styles I haven't ever tried for once looked good on me. That was really exciting! The dress I picked was pretty inexpensive and that was also great.

For dinner, I made the mexican inspired soup full of veggies. I am not sure I liked how tomato-y it tastes. Honestly, it's like soupy veggies. It definitely was healthy, there's no denying that! It also did have a little kick. If you ever want to clean out your insides, have some of this soup! I think I would serve it over brown rice. Otherwise, you'd feel like you were eating medicine or something.

The stew was just a crockpot stew made with many of the same veggies as the soup. I like to cook big batches of stuff on Sunday to have for the whole week.

I also cut up a bunch of carrots, red peppers and some other veggie I can't remember now and portioned them out into containers for the week. Maybe I could go back to eating sour cream but without the pretzels? Let's see!
