Trolling Around Face Book

Okay have you ever trolled your high school classmates on face book? The other night I was just looking around for some lost friends and found classmate who has a boat load of our class on her face book page so I looked them over. Dam who would have thought how some of them look now! One guy in particular was a very popular hottie in school and now he is mister biker guy, it just made me sit there and wonder wow really? One of my best friends has a daughter who is in a wheel chair due to seizures, it just made me feel so blessed about my life! I know I complain all the time lately about everything but really in the grand scheme of things my children/grandchildren are healthy, my husband & I are happy on the marriage front and are some what healthy so what the hell am I complaining about?????? I also found my old boyfriend, he got married two years after I did and has been married to her ever since. It's so strange looking at someone that you were so close with have another life. I have to say he has not aged well, now I'm not saying that to be a snot it just is true. Back when you are young and just starting your adult life you make choices that are either a good thing or maybe a bad one, I look at his face and think I spent four years with that guy and almost everyone thought we would get married but than God brought my present husband into my life and that changed everything for me. I am happy to see he looks happy with his wife and children and that things are as they should be : )
BUT having said all that while looking around I also looked at my face book photos and DAM I really want to get back to my sassy self. So today I am really pulling up the boot straps and trying to get back on the weight loss journey!!
I weighed in at 144.4 pounds this morning - Lets see how things go!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Shhhhh I going to be a Grandma Again!!!!!!

Woo Hoo!! I am so excited! It was unexpected when my son & daughter-in-law had us over to dinner last night to tell us the wonderful news!!! My grand daughter just turned one in October so they will be close in age. My daughter-in-law is keeping the news quiet until she gets further along (she is about 4 or 5 weeks along). It is just so hard to believe my son having children, when I look at him I still see the little chubby guy who I would prop up on the couch and take endless pictures of, when we would go sleigh riding down out drive way, he would drive his little motor car around the block and now he is a father to not just one but to children!! I pray that my daughter-in-law has a easier pregnancy than last time! That girl had one issue after another..... but what a baby she & my son made : ) I just keep smiling when I think of the addition to our family!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

I Asked God Who I'm Supposed To Be

I was watching a movie and this quote came up and it got me thinking.
I wonder if this question is ever answered in a life time?
Do you ever really know who you are? Or are we always changing?
It would be wonderful if God just came in and showed us what we are ment to do with this precious life he has given us but no we have to figure it out and sometimes we never do!

"Last Holiday" DVD

"Last Holiday" - I just LOVE this movie! I really think it has become one of my all time favorites! I love the part where Georgia says " You wait and wait for something big to happen and then you find out your going to die". It's that the truth? I know it is for me. Time goes by so fast that you don't even know where the days go. Another saying she says that I love is "I have lived my whole life in a box, I don't want to be buried in one" - Wow! I just really relate to this too. I have felt like I have ALWAYS taken the " don't rock the boat" route during this life and it makes me feel like I have missed out on many things. I know what you are saying, "the grass is not always greener on the other side" but you only go thru life once. In the movie she has a "possibilities book" which I think is a wonderful idea for everyone to do. I mean if you visualize your dreams maybe you can more of an effort to make them come true. In the movie she travels and blows a ton of cash (which of course you would need to make a lot of your dreams come true). I think that's why so many people just give up on their dreams, if by your fifties you don't have any cash for your day to day bills how the hell are you going to have money to blow making your dreams come true which sends so many people into a depressive state. In the movie she goes into a upscale clothes store and tries on many different clothes and all of the outfits give her a major boost, which I have personally found to be true (of course my clothes come from the thrift stores}.

The night I wore this dress & shoes I felt like a million bucks, I felt the best I have ever felt in my life!! That's why I could just kick myself in my fat butt now for letting my weight balloon again. Life is too short to not feel your best and if you feel your best EVERYTHING in your life just seems to be better. So number one in my "possibility book" is to get my self eating right again so I can look and feel my best!!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Don't You Think God Got It Wrong?

I was at my grand daughter's 1st birthday party on Saturday and meet a sweet couple there from my daughter-in-laws church. We got to talking about age, the man was in his early seventies the women looked a bit younger. Watching the my granddaughter and another little girl who is 2 years old run around and just bursting with energy I mentioned didn't they think God got it wrong - that babies should be the ones who wear out quicker and the older you got the more energy you had? They shook their heads with agreement. I really mean it, in your later years you may or may not have family around to assist you as you age. I know ALOT of people entering into their "old" age with having no one to help them. I think of this often, what will I be like in my late 70's or early 8o's? Will I be a burden on my kids? As you know I have been trying to get in better shape for many reasons and one of them is to be able to enjoy the later have of what life I have left on this earth. It is scary to think of being without any energy or health for that matter and being forced to work when you are in you 70's just to be able to survive, but that is a possibility that we are all looking at since retiring has really become something not many  people can look forward to. I know my aunt who is well into her 70's is still working taking care of others as a health aid, she has to work just to pay her rent and put food on the table. I know God probably thought that we would all have families who would take us in as we aged and would take care of us but now a days we are all struggling so no one wants  take someone else in to take care of even when it is family - Isn't that sad? I pray I can keep myself in good shape to be able to handle anything life has to throw my way in my upcoming years...

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Don't Drink Your Calories!

Okay, I have fallen off the wagon big time!
I have found a soda that I am loving right now! It is called Coca-Cola Life. It is sooooo good! It has 90 calories in one can so not real low cal which is disappointing but it is made with stevia & can sugar. I have been drinking just water for months now so it is fun to have something else to drink and right now it is just $2.99 a 6 pack (the gal gave me a coupon for .55 cents off - Dam I should have grabbed more coupons!).
Which leads me to falling off the healthy eating band wagon. I am now eating potato chips & chocolate chips! Now I am not condoning my behavior but I am completely a wreak about the up coming work week. I am wrapping up the fundraising portion of my job this week, the dinner/auction is this up coming Sat. night. I have a TON of stuff to do before that day arrives and you know how my boss scares the living life out of me on a normal day you can imagine during a stress week! Needless to say these two days have been spent eating everything in my sight!!  Which is too bad because I was losing a little bit (like one pound a week).
I pray this week goes by without a hitch and I get everything done to my bosses liking and I can go back to just the cleaning job and be able to breath at work again.

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Disney One Week Later

Here is my family & I minus my daughter-in-law she took the picture. What to say about Disney..... It had it's good times and bad ones. The amount of people there is mind blowing! At one point in the evening during the fireworks it was packed like sardines. I really mean it, you could not move and people that worked there were screaming for all of us to move but they had already shut the lights off so it was impossible to move with all the strollers & motorized carts and not killing yourself in the process. It was that bad..... people tell you about the crowds but you always think it won't be that bad while I'm there - well it was jammed packed. One of the good points is the fast pass - It really works wonderfully! We got on so many more rides than I thought possible using it. I have to say my grand daughter fell a sleep on most the rides. I do have to say a number of the rides broke down while we were on them, granted just for a short time but still when your in a dark place and the ride stops and you are stuck in a position where you are laying on your back it is a bit scary. I think Disney really needs to start working on the parks a bit more, from when I was there years ago so much has gone down hill. The staff at the park used to smile and be cheerful now they are snarly and cranky. Back in 1999 when we entered the hotel they said "Welcome Home" to us and made us feel so happy to be there, this time it was very low key and the gal that waited in us made me feel like we were an issue she had to deal with. Just little things here and there have changed and not for the better. When you are paying $105.00 a day to get in you want amazing not just ordinary.
Anyway, it was really great to get away and spend time with the family, not matter how stressful it got at times.

Until Next Time - God Bless!!
