I went shopping today to try on some new blouses for work…tried on a few, bought one. a 2x after over a decade of 3x and then 4x….very cute, and I think it’s somewhat slimming…that isn’t the exciting part though…
I got a pair of size 20 khakis! They are so cute and they honest to God make my butt look nice. That hasn’t happened in….well….EVER.
New clothes really do make you feel great…hope everyone is having a great weekend…now off to get the laundry going…yippee…

Thought for today:
Don’t compromise yourself. You’re all you’ve got.
~Janis Joplin (1943 - 1970)
Janis Joplin is far from my favorite singer from her era, in fact I don’t like her music at all. But I’ve read a thing or two about her and I’ve seen those true Hollywood stories about her, and she was an interesting person. Sure, she died young, but she did things her way, and didn’t allow anyone to talk her out of it. I respect that.
I hope others see me that way. I can compromise when it comes to certain things, but not when you’re talking about who I am, or what I stand for. We all can learn something from her words I think. A lot of women I know will mold themselves to what their husbands want them to be, or what their neighbors think they ought to be, instead of just standing up for who they really are.
I am going to make a true effort to be ME.

I made the serious mistake of falling asleep in my recliner last night until the wee hours of the morning and apparently was sleeping with my head sideways. My upper left back and side of my neck have been hurting all day! ARGH!!! Read the rest of this entry »

Quote for today:
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day I’m gonna be free, Oh!
~Freddy Mercury (Queen) - Somebody To Love
Released 12th November, 1976 - Spent 8 weeks on chart and reached number 2. Went Silver.
While I was working out last night I listened to this song on my iPod and this line hit home. This is exactly what my body feels like to me. A prison cell….I’ve been locked into this cell for all these years and finally doing what I need to be free.
Maybe it sounds corny but it got to me and I just had to share it with all of you this morning!

There are things I would say to my 15 year old self and still other things to tell the woman I was at 32 and different ages in between. I’ve been thinking about mine a lot so here goes….

I went with my daughter this evening after dinner to give blood at our local Middle School. It’s for an organization she belongs to, marching band. It’s a great cause, but little did I know how woozie it makes you feel or how much taht damned huge needle would hurt. This no doubt has something to do with the fact that they had a hard time getting a good vein to draw blood from, and also due to the stretch marks that I have in the crook of my arm…
The other thing is they want you to eat and drink something afterwards, and all they had were sugary snacks…I mean SUGARY….cookies, brownies, mini cupcakes, mini powdered sugar donuts….punch, lemonade…I must confess I nibbled my way through most of the things I mentioned…and now feeling rather sleepy and VERY GUILTY!
I logged all of my points, and went over by a lot for the day…and dipped into my weekly already because I really only have a tiny bit of activity points for today and it’s only Monday!!!!
I wanted to work out afterwards but they tell you not to excercise for 24 hours. My guilt will have to wait a full day til I can start to work it off! Feel free to bash me…God knows I’m doing it as you read this….

Just wanted to say what another nice day we had here in Central PA! Not as sunny as yesterday or quite as warm, but still nice enough to get out and weed my flower beds, and start planning what to plant this spring. Read the rest of this entry »
