Be Bold!

Tonight was date night with Matt. We went to see the new Woody Allen movie, Midnight in Paris, and I was super excited about it. However the catch 22 of all Woody Allen movies is you are, well at least I am always comparing it to my favorites of his. So this one didn’t quite measure up. Like all Woody movies the plot was a lot of dialogue and banter. I found several scenes quite amusing and it was a fun movie. I can’t really give an honest review of the movie because I had heard such wonderful reviews about it, that I spent the majority of the movie waiting for something to happen that would make it live up to all my favorite Woody movies. And after the 1 hr and 34 min I was left feeling mostly dissatisfied. I’ve seen him do better. Rachel McAdams character is just one of those people you just want to trip when she is walking down the street and Owen Wilson’s character is the lovable loser like all of Woody’s main characters. After the movie we went to eat at Hot Olives which has some amazing food. I ordered the same entree I had the last time I went. Partly due to my fear of being disappointed with a new entree not living up to the only thing I had ate off their menu. And then mainly because the entree I wanted was smothered in brie and had cooked pears on top of a pork tenderloin surrounded by a delicious and creamy butternut squash risotto and some steamed green beans…YUUUMMMM!!! I ate so much I feel sick! I’ve told you I cheat on my low calorie diet on the weekends, but lately it feels like a job when I’m done eating because I shovel in whatever my stomach will hold because I know once tomorrow comes it’s back to counting calories and portion control. So I’m left exhausted and full. Tonight I wore one of my big statement necklaces that I purchased on clearance at Target. It felt a little awkward at first, I’m not used to wearing big jewelry. But I think in the end I liked it. I’m really into this summer trend of big statement necklaces. They turn your most boring of outfits into something pretty spectacular and create the illusion of effort. I’ve been on the look out each shopping trip for a new bold necklace to add to my collection. Here is what I wore tonight…..
