Because I work at home and live in a rather laid-back, casual area of Connecticut (versus working in New York City, which I did from 1984-1997), not to mention that I don’t travel for work like I used to (through 2003), I don’t often have an excuse to get really dressed up any more. There have been a few weddings and other special events, and Tim’s company holiday parties. This year, the party was held at The Spa At Norwich Inn and we decided to take advantage of a group rate and spend the night. I also splurged and got my hair done.
When Tim took this picture of me I thought back to the photo he took of me last year, which I used on my *Results Not Typical page (a brief history of my “before” and “after” and “AFTER” photos) to indicate “right now.” I think I’ll add this photo to that page because it exudes the inner peace and confidence I feel these days.

When I first saw your new Twitter avatar, my first thought was “DAMN! She looks HOT!”. Then after seeing the whole pic, I still thought that. And, you look sly. Like maybe you’ve got a little secret, but you’re not going to share. I LOVE IT!

Ah, so beautiful!! Your dress is stunning and you are truly glowing. :-)
Nice!! I work in the city (albeit a different one) and travel for work but still don’t get dressed up much anymore! I am too tired to go out at the end of the day. :-P
