Excuse me Maam..

So I walked into the men's bathroom at the fair today. There were two separate doors. I saw the first sign and it was men's and I simply assumed the second sign was for women's. Not so much. Thankfully I got just inside the door when I looked up. Funny thing was at first I thought a man had come into the women's bathroom (ha!). Then I heard " I think you have the wrong place". Only then did I realize there was more than one man in there. I didn't say anything, just turned around and walked out. That's what happens when I assume the second sign is for women's. It makes an ass out of you and me. Well, only me this time. OOPS

My Bestie

I remember as a kid thinking how crazy it was that my parents had friends for 20 years or more. Never did I think I would have such a friend. Once in a lifetime you are blessed with that one friend that "gets" you more than anyone else on the planet. Don't get me wrong, I am beyond blessed by all the friends and family I have surrounding me..more than words can say. Yet there is one person that has been in my life for the last 14 years and I can honestly say I could not function without her in my life. No matter what happens, she is always there. I love how we can talk for hours about a hundred different subjects. We still turn into 12 year old girls while watching the American Idol finale. She's beautiful, smart, creative, kind, loving, honest, funny, talented, a great wife to her hubs and an incredible mom to her 3 precious children. I could honestly go on forever about how wonderful she is but I will leave it at this.. Jessica I love you so very much. I am so blessed to have you as a friend. Thank you for all you bring to my life. (I meant to write this on your birthday but time go away from me.)

I Think I can, I Think I can..

Slowly the cars began to move. Slowly they climbed the steep hill. As they climbed, each little steam engine began to sing:
"I-think-I-can! I-think-I-can! I-think-I-can! I-think-I-can! I-think-I-can! I-think-I-can! I think I can - I think I can - I think I can I think I can--"
And they did! Very soon they were over the hill and going down the other side.
Now they were on the plain again; and the little steam engine could pull her train herself. So she thanked the little engine who had come to help her, and said good-by.
And she went merrily on her way, singing:
"I-thought-I-could! I-thought-I-could! I-thought-I-could! I-thought-I-could! I thought i could - I thought I could - I thought I could - I thought I could - I thought I could - I thought I could I thought I could..



The last couple of weeks I have felt like the "Little Engine That Could" as she was trucking up the ginormous hill.. I feel like this weight loss thing has been an uphill battle and the harder I push forward, the more it seems I am going backwards. Don't get me wrong, I haven't gained any weight but the motivation to keep going has worn off just a little. Well, it HAD.. but not anymore. I had a good talk with my BFF and Drill Sgt. Both have been instumental in keeping me going and encouraging me. Last friday I finally hit the top of the hill and I made it over. I am on the downward side now. Only 23 pounds to go! I know I can do it. I WILL do it. Im finally starting to see the difference that others have been talking about.. take a look.. ( I didnt start this journey til january but the Nov/Dec pics show a good "before" image.)
