Okay... long story. During Christmas break DD19 likes to make a donation to the local no-kill animal shelter and this year we had a bleach mishap and I ruined some of my school pants. Tried on some 4X that didn't look good, had to get the 5XOUCH! On the way to checkout, I spotted some with a different band at the top that I like better, so I switched. The 5X I got home with were a little bigger than the other style, so I REALLY should have gotten 4X, but 5X was "okay". Needless to say, those 5X have been retired... was having to fold and pin them in two places to make them fit. All the 4X in my closet are really sagging... the 3X are a bit big... and I've recently bought 2X pants and capris (all in beautiful black of course, so versatile).
I've also bought some really cute, bright colorful shirts at Lane Bryant that look fabo with the new pants as I workout. Digging old stuff out of the closet from a 40 lb loss a couple of years ago. Had to buy some DARLING Tommy Hilfiger shoes that tie around the ankle for this long pair of pants that now fit again. Buttoning shirts that I've NEVER worn without them being open with a tank underneath. And I bought some pretty pink panties to go with my pretty pink bras 'cuz all my old panties were sagging comically. So, yes ma'am! I HAVE been treating myself!
And the stall... last time I stalled right before breaking 300 lbs. This time I slowed down right before breaking 40 lbs lost. And when I get to to 279, I will be my lowest weight in (according to my best calculations) 18 years!
Where's the ribbon! I wanna see the new ribbon!!!! You Go girls!
I promised someone I was going to exercise tonight and despite putting it off until almost 10 I did 25 minutes on the bike - sort of a warm-up and twenty minutes on the treadmill. Don't ask me why I waited?! But I will say if I hadn't told "y'all" I was going to exercise I wouldn't have gotten up and done it. I've put it off and then not exercised too many times to think tonight would have been any different.
Watching old Oscar winners on TCM tonight - The Greatest Show on Earth, An American in Paris, Gigi...
Has anybody seen the Orlando commercial where a parent and child are at WDW (and other tourist attractions) and after the first ride the parents "a kid again" and you don't see the parent again until you see them in a reflection toward the end of the commercial? I just love it - kind of what it's all about.
ps - got my travel planning video in the mail today - haven't watched it all yet. Have to call and make ADRs - I think some people would be despairing that I haven't already made them all.
I went to see Music and Lyrics tonight with dh. It was so good, I love Hugh Grant!!He could read the grocery adds and I'd be spell bound. Anywho, I was really good, resisted the popcorn dh was devouring and had 2 handfulls of raisinets, they're fruit.... This was a first for me to not eat the popcorn, but I was strong!
And I think I'm the official thread killer, I always seem to be the only one around.
but when he talks 
-makes me weak in the knees
Salt Pepa, Chicken Shack, Cake, Black eyed peas?? hmm food for thougt!!!
How sharper than a serpents tooth it is

What are you saying about English men?
Well my Rosacea is really clearing up thanks to the antibiotics and I can finally look in the mirror without crying, so I'm so happy. I need to stop eating as much rubbish the trouble is it's a vicious circle you feel yucky so you eat to cheer up then you feel yucky again! I need this weather to get a bit better so I can get out and exercise more, I hate the gym, been there done that.
English men are just HOT!!!!
Glad the Rosacea is clearing up for you. DH is on cream for his and that seems to work well. The antibiotics I got from the dermatologist made me very sick to my stomach, so I stopped taking them. It was bad!
Just got my hair trimmed, now to color it!! I really love the ION color!! It lasts and lasts, and doesnt turn on me!!
What is ION color and where do you get it? I'd like to find something that doesn't fade so fast.
So, close to $100 for the day and he wasn't happy with that? Why do our kids think they should get everything they want? You are a fantabulous Mom and don't let him tell you otherwise!!!
“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is
to have a thankless child” This quote from King Lear was on the wall at the solo competition this morning. I read it several times and thought....how true! Maybe when they get older they'll appreciate all we've done. At least I hope so. By the way...I think you're a fabulous mom!
Great Quote!! How did DD do at the comeptition?
The dog is loving that they are here 
. Then tomorrow we are meeting DB and DSIL at the Morikarmi Museum, a Japanese museum and botanial gardens. Fun Fun.

Her voice was beautiful but she forgot some of the words towards the end. She went back to her seat and started to cry. Then a couple more kids did their songs and forgot their words too. So all was well by the time it was over and we were home by 10:30 am. I guess she will get her scores on Monday at school. Thanks for asking.
You know I can't help but notice how much food you got on this list!!!
I didn't even notice...well except Cake, mmmm cake!
