What's the best way to lose weight quickly before having to fit into your fancy formatura dresses?
A couple of days before, try unknowingly picking up a parasite or stomach virus that makes you throw up everything you eat!
It started kind of suddenly during one of my classes. I had to send the students home. How embarrassing!
I'm pretty much better now. I'm still pretty nauseous, but I'm keeping my dinner down so far.
At least the dresses will look better...! ...?
In other news, the in-laws are in town and actually liked the apartment and the restaurant that I took them to. (Yay! My housewifery skills have been approved. I was nervous.) Apparently the apartment (and its state of cleanliness) are a far cry from the last time they came to visit, which was years ago, when Alexandre was in a tiny apartment and living a lone bachelor's (messy) life.
Tomorrow's the first dress-up night! So it's the first night of the formatura, AND, it's Alexandre's birthday! I bought him a new fancy briefcase for his residency, and also wrote him a poem in Portuguese (with Bruna's help). I'm pretty proud of myself.
Dress-up pics to come!

ReplyDeleteSo nice, hey stomach viruses are (sometimes) a good thing (under the right circumstances)??? Am I talking crazy?
Have a great time at the Formatura and happy birthday to Alexandre!
Dear Danielle,
ReplyDeleteSorry for your recent stomach bug.
Please say Happy Birthday to Alexandre for me!
All the best to you and your Brazilian family on this BIG day of your lives, as you already know, it is a real important moment in Brazil, principally Sao Paulo.
Enjoy every minute of it and see it as a celebration/transition into your new great hometown of Sao Paulo and a so desired cosmopolitan way of life.
Have fun and again, CONGRATULATIONS to Alexandre and you, once I believe you play a big part on his academic accomplishments.

Yes, the bug induced flat stomach diet. I just hope it stops before you have to put on the pretty dress!! :)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to alex! take him to the bakery for drinks!!!
ReplyDeleteyayyy! I'm excited for dress up pics! How many dresses did you end up buying? or renting?
ReplyDeleteyuck! I hope you feel better! I guess if you're going to get sick like that it might as well coincide with an opportunity to show off in a dress!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the happiness and excitement you're feeling through my computer screen. Have fun : )
Oh, you don't need to lose any weight. Just get better, dress up, get drunk with your-in-laws and show everyone your "funk carioca" steps!
