dream big



Nothing new to report. I am having a ball looking at fashion blogs. Next thing I am going to try is thrift shopping. I have even been looking at shoes on Ebay (not during work hours, of course...that made me giggle). Trying to fine stuff that is fun, funky, yet age appropriate. I still can't believe it. Who have I become?? Someone that really does like clothes and yes shoes. I told myself I didn't care about that stuff for so long. I only didn't care because I weighed 265 lbs and seriously, how cute can you dress at that size. Now if only I had money to spend all this cute stuff. Oh well, a girl can dream!

Rode the bike to work this morning after a brisk 3 miler with my buddy. Last walk with her for awhile she is going in for a D&C this morning. Time to call someone else on my buddy list. If not, well maybe I can get my son to be my 5am bodyguard. Excuse me while I wipe my eyes from laughing so hard..hehe. Food has been better. So has H2O.

The pic is of my poor hand after my Gdaughter accidentally threw a bucket at me. She was trying to flip the bucket and watch the sand spill out. I some how ended up injured. Who said being a GeGe was safe work??

Keep the mood and the food real.............dream big

    Hope you hand isn't too sore right now... I love ebay for clothes. Shoes are a little difficult because I have HUGE feet, but I do occasionally find some bargains. :o)

    I have had good luck with buying clothes on eBay. Shoes are a little different. I just bought 2 pairs and neither one fit :-( and they are my size. Oh well... I can always resell them or give them to a friend.

    Shopping is so much fun when you feel good about yourself. Do you have a Kohl's where you are? They are the absolute best place to buy nice clothes at bargain prices. They have racks of 60, 70, even 80% off prices.

    Ouch!! Hope your hand feels better fast!

    Isn't it something, looking at fashion and shoes. You are so right--when one is big, they don't care. My biggest concern was finding shirts that were long enough to cover my belly. (Well, still is, but...) Now I want to look at cute stuff--I have great hope!

    And thank God for thrift stores! Dig deep and you can find some winners!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
