   ... or how many do you get during the day?  I START MY DAY WITH 12 KISSES ... EVERY SINGLE DAY....

A kiss from my hubby, a kiss from my son, a kiss from my daughter, a kiss from each one of my 8 ferrets, and a kiss I blow in the mirror from me to me ... YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

12 KISSES AT THE START OF THE DAY ... I JUST LOVE IT!!!

BTW ... I am too variable and I have to move hair ....and long hair sells... YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY .... check a dufus sista out...

I left home to work barely pulled together looking like this ... 

I scooped my curly look up and tied it in a ribbon in a pony tail because I had no time to fart around after being up until 1 a.m. farting around... 



Loving a kiss from my feisty ferret Finiganbeau...



NOW I AM GOING TO ENJOY TONS OF KISSES I AM GOING TO GET DURING THE DAY ... 

WHAT A WAY TO START OR SPEND OR END THE DAY ...

KISSES .. THEY GO A LONG LONG LONG WAY..... oppppppsss just got one .. a hello kiss from a friend ... WOOT WOOT ...

HAVE A LOVELY DAY EVERYBODY ... THERE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY AWESOME BLESSINGS IN EVERY LITTLE THING THROUGHOUT THE DAY ... IT CAN'T BE ALL GOOD AND IT CAN'T BE ALL BAD ... but if we pick out the little things that make us happy ... little by little we will see the bigger picture of how fortunate we all are ... we are alive today ... 

Two days ago my children lost their first cousin SUDDENLY ... just a few years older than my DD ... probably a stroke or an aneurysm we do not know for sure ...we do know though that this is the 5th of their FIRST cousins who have died SUDDENLY because of brain aneurysm BEFORE 40 .. late 20s and early 30s ... and their grandpa died at the age of 37 .. all on their biological dad's side.. I am encouraging them to keep themselves checked and I am as vigilant as a hawk and I am sure they think I am a pain in the arse mom at times...well they tell me I am most of the times anyway..

WISHING YOU ALL KISSES AND A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!

It has been a long long way 4 years 9 months post WLS ... living happily one.day.at.a.time


and I counted all my kisses ... before.. after..during..and in between ... now this is one goofy post with no purpose other than to encourage myself and maybe someone else .. thanks for allowing me to share...

I will NEVER EVER FORGET ME ... because I am ME before..during..after... and I am making it last ... if all else fails .. at least I know I have options ... 


BE ENCOURAGED ... LIFE IS NOT EASY ... BUT IT IS CERTAINLY WORTH LIVING!!!

R.I.P. T.H.
 

 AN AWESOME CONSIGNMENT STORE .... OR QUALITY THRIFT SHOPPING ... you just can't go bad ... of course I treat myself to awesome new stuff too ... but when the economy is shifty and mindful spending is the budget of the day ... and sizes are shifting as we lose the weight .. who is to complain by saving a few $$$$$$$$$$$
Soooooooooooooo today ... on my way to purchase more yarn for my project where we are knitting hats and scarves for the homeless, I just could not drive past my favorite spot without peeking in...

And with ONLY $33 dollars ...check what and what I got....

No words ... check the tag ... check the tag...check the tag ...



and this is me wearing it...WOOT a BCBG dress tags still on I guess the original buyer did not want it and decided to consign it so I could just scoop it up!...



and another view...


AND FOR IT I ONLY PAID DING DING DING $18.50 YES eighteen dollars and fifty cents ... YAYYYYY SCORE!

and the I heard this number calling my name on an adjacent rack ... a two piece corduroy type skirt and top ... and I checked it out... it had this tag ... for $14.50




WOOT ... and I added it to my treasure and I NEVER TRY ANYTHING ON ... if it does not fit I PASS IT ON ... AND IT FIT! WINNER...


SO I made my before and after collage ... with only $33 dollars .... 4 years 9 months and maintaining seamlessly ...




on Friday I took my still bruised arse from my fall to work ...patch and redid my broken nail myself in a nail wrap...


and right now I am crashing in the den ... with my knifty knitter and yarn on sale for $4.99 a pound at A.C. Moore which is what my business was this morning after Zumba at WOW .... but but but I went right by Consignment Originals in Orange CT and I HAD TO STOP ... that's my playpen and my only consignment store ever visited in the whole wide world ...

K, spending the night making hats and scarves for the homeless ... from now till Xmas week we have a task at hand.... this is awesome fun ... we did this a couple years ago and with the cold winter coming up we are doing it again...


the journey is as AWESOME as LIFE is awesome ... it is only a matter of embracing joy and making it happen to me! 

I CAME A LONG WAY ... FROM BEFORE TO AFTER AND MAINTAINING ONE DAY AT A TIME...
