vacation

We made it home safely from Las Vegas vacation. Had a wonderful time! Shopped till our feet nearly fell off and sight seeing was as great as ever. So much changes in a short amount of time that you can always find something new to see. I love the white tigers and and all the gardens. We saw two 4 month old white tigers and they are beyond wonderful. they are so playful and energetic. I took so meny pictures that I want to share with you so be watching. I have to hurry right now it is trick or treat night here in our little town. I plan to go out with my family and watch the little ones gather in all the candy and fun times. We live in a nice quite neighborhood and the kids will be out in droves. So for now I need to get some candy and get going.

back home

well everyone I have just returned from a three day weekend swap meet. So if your into cars and signs, plus yard ornates. This would have been right up your alley. I had a very restful and enjoyful time. I like old signs and  almost any antique yard things. My husband is all about the same things. we travel alot and stop at alot of small town antique shops and flea markets. I can't tell you the best one yet because I'm still hunting HA HA HA! One of the most memorable ones was in Quanaha Texas. This place looks old and run down but just wait till you enter. This owner has everything and I mean everthing. My daughters family and Robert and I are off to Las vegas this Thursday. I can't wait! We have planned the trip out,over the last several months and hopefully things go acording to that plan. BUT! If not we will have a great time anyway. I visited a small town called Oatman , Az a few months back and it is way way back in the mohave dessert.  I'm hoping to make it over there this trip too. The townspeople have made the ghost town come alive again. The street shops are now triving gift shops and resturants. The direct desendents of the pack mules still roam free in the streets. Everyday at 2& 4 PM they have a old fashion gun fight in the middle of town. I could go on and on. I really loved the days we spent there. So if ever you chance out that way route 66 runs thru the middle of town so stop and visit. I want to visit and explore my world so who knows where I'll show up next.

yard sale

well the yard sale is set and ready. Man! did I have a lot of stuff in that garage. but I'm hoping for a lot of people and hopefully a lot of sales. everything is priced to go. So wish me luck.

dolls hair

I totally love the baby dolls hair. It really made her little eyes and smile pop. congrates on her hair do. Well the auction is over, got a new sewing machine and thread rack . PLUS a lot of other things i did'nt need. Advise for everyone don't take your  husband and money to the auction house together. My yard sale I planned for Saturday has just grown by leaps and bounds. HA HA HA! I had a great time though. I really enjoy the people that sit behind and in front of me. They are a barrel of laughs. I still can't believe the sewing machine I got is like new condition and sews great. What a bargin for 10 dollars. The thread  rack works alot like a marrie go round but has 5 levels. Paid 3 dollars. WOW! I believe I'm a bargin hunter and a auction junkie. Is there theropy for these conditions HA HA HA HA !!! Well its late and I'm tired so talk at yall later.

happy

I just got finished with some really wonderful hot chicken soup.( only 140 calories and a tub of choc ice cream 100 calories). I feel good !!!! yeah I feel good !!!!  This diet stuff is going well. I hope it keeps it up. Had a really long day so goodnight to all. I'm out of here. Oh Yeah! I need followers. Or I need to follow which ever needs to happen. See ya.

tired

Tired  Tired Tired !  What a wonderful day I've had. I spent my day with three of my favorite people in this world. My wonderful husband of 25 years Robert and daughter Leslie and the most beautiful granddaughter in this world Miss Lovie (Destiny). Spent most of the day preparing for a huge yard sale and the evening was spent walking around the neighborhood for exercise. Leslie, Lovie and I try to walk everyday. You know the Diet has to continue. I was amazed at how meny other people had the same idea. We meet atleast three other groups out for a walk. Leslie and I live only a few blocks apart so we have the same neighborhood. I love it here. It is a pretty nice area and one can feel safe when out and about. That is a true blessing to live in such a town and neighborhood that you are not afraid to go out in the evening for a walk. Well it is time to lay this old body down for the night. So have a good night everyone.

15 Pounds

YES! I 've lost it. 15 pounds. I feel so proud of myself. I started watching what I eat. I mean really watching.Mostly what I can't eat. LOL. No really. I started a 1200 calorie diet about 3 and a half weeks ago and here I am proud of me and 15 pounds lighter. I really have to thank my daughter for all her support and encouragement. She jumped on the 1200 wagon with me and is losing the pounds. Vacation starts on the 21st of Oct and we plan to be thinner in Las Vegas. We keep each other on track and that is what makes it easy. Buddy system is 100% in acheiving your goal. My biggest advise is never diet alone, always find someone to share the struggle with.
My goal is 58 pounds by 01/01/2011
I started at 258 and want the big 200 by New Years.

IF (NO) When I get there I'm going to have a party! So look out everyone! I plan to have a live band, drinks and lots of friends.

I drive my daughter totally bonkers trying to teach me. BUT! I'll get there just you wait and see. So wish me luck.
