Day 55 of 365

Gosh, today was a stressful day. It can't last forever though, it has to be done pretty much by this Friday, and then my boss is out Monday thru Wednesday, so I'll HOPEFULLY have a reprieve! LOL So, in honor of today . . . here's something that never disappoints. They fit if you gain weight, you don't have to wash them every time you wear them, you don't have to iron them or take them to the dry cleaners . . . SHOES are the BEST! The ones on the top right of the white shelf are the newest. They are 4 inch heels, but I couldn't resist! :)

Day 54 of 365

Time to get serious again. I HAD lost about 75 lbs since my divorce, and over the last couple months gained 25 back. LOTS of excuses . . . medical procedures, hormone issues, the holidays, busy at work, but mostly just bein' lazy and eatin too much. Did a mile this morning, and just finished 3 miles tonight. That's the plan for every day . . .

Day 53 of 365

Hi Dad! You are the picture of the day! I think this sign is TOO cool! Has directions to where me and my brother live, and were everyone in the family was born . . and a couple of my parents favorite vacation spots! I LOVE it!

Day 52 of 365

Yummmmm!!! I got these today as well as 2 magazines with recipes (Cooking Light and another diet one). After a couple weeks of eating ANYTHING that wasn't nailed down, it's time to get serious again!

Day 51 of 365

This has gotten to be our Friday night tradition . . . go get something to eat, and then walk it off at Walmart. We get paid on alternate Friday's, so we take turns picking up the tab. Today, we got the normal stuff, bread, milk, etc . . . and I got 2 shirts for $5 each, and a hoodie for $7! Woohooo!!

Day 50 of 365

I ALMOST made it home before the sunset. Atleast I got to SEE the sunset. I've been working 12 hour days for the last 2 weeks, and not getting home till around 9, so getting to the last intersection at 6:23 was GREAT!

Day 49 of 365

This was my dad's bed, then mine (that's me and Buffy in the picture) and then my niece. For some strange, AWFUL reason, my BITCH of an ex-sister-in-law (and that's the NICEST name I can call her) is holding this bed hostage . . . or else she's already turned it into firewood, and just won't tell us. My niece is already sleeping in a different bed, and MY family would like the bed back to hold for the next generation, yet she "won't discuss anything that doesn't directly pertain to my niece or nephew"!! What BULLSHIT, but SOOO typical from HER!

Day 48 of 365

Here's the 2 jewelry sets I made this weekend. They both came from these monthly beading kits I get in the mail. I don't have a clue what I'm gonna wear them with, but they are cute!

Day 47 of 365

I'm gonna go ahead and jump in my time machine, and post my pictures for day 47 and 48 on day 46! ;-) The next couple of days are gonna be crazy at work (hell week continues to the 2nd week), and I took a couple of pictures today, so this gives me till Wednesday to post another.

Here's my jewelry cabinet I got a couple of months ago when I started making jewelry. It's awesome!! It's getting full, but I still haven't run out of room.

Day 46 of 365

As promised, here is a picture from the "Pirate" wedding . . the groom is on the far right, and the bride is on the far left. Forgot to mention yesterday about the entertainment - the belly dancers in the middle!! hahahaha It was memorable, I'll give them that. Here's the video (it's a little dark, since I don't have flash on video) from the end of the wedding. I hope you can hear the audio, because we were cracking UP!! I was kicking myself that I didn't record the WHOLE thing.

Day 45 of 365

Here's a pic of me and my FAVORITE love!! ;-) We got all dressed up for Valentine's Day today to go to a wedding for a friend of Robert's. It was the STRANGEST wedding I had ever been to . . . I didn't know that it was a "pirate" wedding until we got there and the groom was dressed up like Johnny Depp. I'll have to make that my picture of the day tomorrow and show you. It WAS entertaining though!

Day 44 of 365

I didn't turn my laptop on yesterday, I didn't get my camera out, I don't think I even got on the internet at WORK yesterday . . . my boss did let me leave a little early, but just to run by the post office before they closed. I didn't get home till 6, and then all we did was go to Walmart! LOL Oh WAIT . . . I made a necklace last night! I need to make the matching bracelet and earrings today, and maybe I'll post the finished result next week.

Soooo . . .here's something I love:

The has got to be the best show EVER!!

Day 43 of 365

I just LOVVVVVEE working in a cube! [obvious sarcasm here for LOVE week] Had my red "emergency light" on (above my computer) and had to put this sign on my guest chair for the first time. Another 12 hour day of hell!

Day 42 of 365

Another 12 hour day at work, so I'm pulling a picture from last year of my baby. Chili boy, Chili Dipper, Chili Dawg . . . he's the sweetest, best dog I've ever had. I love him, even though he loves daddy more! :)

Day 41 of 365

After 11 hours of work, and no lunch . . . not much to "love" today, other than the obvious (but it's not a picture I took today) . . .



I have a wonderful family that I love. Dad was taking the picture, and Robert is hiding behind Evan, but everyone else is in the picture!

Day 40 of 365

I'm a coke addict . . .a DIET coke addict actually! Have to have one every morning, and this morning we were OUT!! Had to stop and get one, and went ahead and bought a 12 pack for tomorrow! Notice how there is an empty bottle in the door too! hehe

Day 39 of 365

Since Valentine's Day is included in this week, all pictures of the day will be "things I love" . . .



Robert put up these shelves in my garage a couple weeks ago, but today he moved a bunch of stuff out to the shed, and cleaned up the other half of the garage. It looks SO good now, AND it houses my favorite vehicle I've EVER had! Mom always taught me that if you are gonna spend THAT much money every month for a car payment, make sure it's something you LOVE . . . and I LOVE my Hyundai Santa Fe.
