A memorable Memorial Day Weekend!

Hi folks! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did. It's so nice to have a long weekend every once in a while. This one was very relaxing and lots of fun. The Hubs and I went to see "Hangover 2" on Friday (OMG, seriously raunchy, but oh so funny!) and then to dinner with our dear friends T&R. Then we spent most of the weekend with T&R by their pool, enjoying the sun, beautiful scenery (they have an amazing home and yard, which happens to be where we got married!) wonderful company, food and cocktails. Summer has officially begun, and with that is the summer visitation schedule, so my boys are with their day for one week at a time. It's always hard to adjust. But, my step-daughter was with us, so she and I did some shopping and we had a really nice weekend. Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. I hope you all had as nice a break as I did.

My honey the grill master, grilling lolly pop lamb chops with a red wine, rosemary, balsamic vinegar and honey reduction sauce...absolutely delicious! We also had chicken, spinach and asiago sausage, grilled asparagus and an interesting cornbread salad, yum!

Me & T, not a great pic, but you can see the beautiful scenery behind us


Me and my step-daughter Em.

T&R, love them!

Again, I hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the short week at work, I know I will!

Okay...now I'm getting mad!

Enough already with the not being able to comment! I've written tons of life changing comments only to be unable to post them. Then this morning in an attempt to see if I could comment I wrote another great comment, didn't happen, then I go to Read's blog and comment LOL! only, because I was tired of writing a book only to see it disappear, that one posted! I don't get it. Anyway, I'm reading you....hopefully blogger will get it's act together soon, so I can show you some comment love. I hope all is well with you guys. I had my biopsy yesterday so I should have results by Tuesday. I'll let you know when I know. Thanks for all the wonderful comments you left me on my son's graduation, you guys are the best.





Have a great day, I can taste the weekend, I can't wait!





Big Hugs,

My Graduate

My son graduated from the 8th grade last night. It was a lovely ceremony and I'm so proud of him! I can't believe we'll have three in high school now! Wow, time flies. I thought I'd share a few pics of the evening. I hope you all have a great day today!

Oh, and by the way....I can't comment on any one's blog either, so just know that I'm reading and wanting to comment but blogger won't let me. Booo on Blogger!

Here's my youngest with his diploma, he's headed to High School!

like and angel, right?

Me with my boys, I'm so proud!

Me, the boys and my handsome Hubby!

Enough of the serious stuff, this is more like it! My crazy boy!

A little bit of movement on the scale!

So glad to see a new number on the scale this morning. I'll take it! 5.5 pounds to a weight that starts with a one. I'll probably faint when that happens. Slowest loser or not, I'm glad it's going down. I'll let you know how the graduation goes. You guys are the best!

Big Hugs!

Tomorrow my baby graduates from the 8th grade!

Man o man! It wasn't this hard when my oldest son did it and my step daughter did it, I guess because it was new territory. But this time, it means that I will have no one left in middle school. They will all be in high school. And, since the other 2 will be Juniors in the fall, I'm well aware of how quickly high school flies! I'm a little verclempt.

I'm wearing the above dress for the graduation, and guess what, it's a plain ol Large! I still really don't see a big change in the way I look, but I can tell you that 60 pounds ago, it would have taken 12 angry men to get me into a size Large anything! It's nice not to have a few X's in front of the L. I'll post pics of the festivities tomorrow. Hope you had a great weekend, I did. Take care now.

Big Hugs!

B-12 injection

I got a B-12 injection today and a prescription for B-12 vitamins to take twice a day. I had my annual blood work done early in the week and they called me yesterday to say my B-12 was deficient. So, I'm anxious to see if I feel any different. I don't think I have been any more tired than usual. But, one thing I read on the web was that one symptom of B-12 deficiency is a red sore tongue. Oddly enough, last week my tongue was very red and sore, coincidence? I don't know. While I was out today going to the Doctor, I stopped a Ross and bought 3 dresses and 2 shirts for $60.00. I love a bargain! And, they were all size 16! I tried on several 14's that fit too, but I didn't like them as well. I was feeling pretty good about myself and decide to do the old tried and true "snap a pic in the dressing room with my phone" move that so many of you do. I didn't have my glasses on, so when I got in the car, I pulled out the phone to look at the pictures, amazingly, I did not look as good in the photo as I thought I did, in fact I look really pretty frumpy and if I hadn't been behind schedule, I would have gone back in the store to return the items. I will likely do that tomorrow. So, lesson learned...bring glasses in the dressing room and trust a photo before the mirror.

I'm going to leave work a little early today to go to the movie with my sister and sister-in-law, we're going to see Bridesmaids. I'm excited about that.

Last night the hubs and I went to the football scrimmage and then out for dinner and drinks at a great Italian place, with some great friends. It was a wonderful night. The hubs can barely walk today and is going back again tonight to crossfit. Think happy thoughts for him!

Big Hugs!

This is me...

Yep, I'm Krabby! I don't want to be and I don't mean to be, but I am what I am, and today...I'm crabby! I know that hormones are playing a big part in my overall crabbiness. I don't really understand how I can feel fine one day and the next day feel like the world is crashing down around me. I don't like it. I like to feel good and positive. I like to feel happy, I have a lot to feel happy about. But, today... I feel lonely, no matter how many people are around me and I feel misunderstood. I need to get past it. How do you get past the "Crabby," anyone?

Have a great day, it's Wednesday and the Spring football game at school.
Big Hugs,
T
