Good Sunday Morning Cali

Good morning Janine and Cali!

Today is Sam and I's 5th anniversary. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years already. He married me when i was medium fat. It was one of those times in my life after I had lost a bunch of weight then started gaining again. I was about "half-way" up to my highest ever when we met and got married. Somehow, he intuitively knew "the real me" inside and the outside didn't scare him away. Now, he's strugling with about 20 pounds and gets insecure sometimes. He thinks because I'm all thin now I might want to go get me a muscle man or something. I remind him that I'm in LOVE with his insides and the person he is and not the outside appearance. Then I remind him even with an extra 20 pounds he's still supper hot! (insert whistle here)

Well, better get moving. It's getting late and I need to pick Sammi up from her grammie.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Do. Or not Do. There is no Try...yoda, Star Wars

Janine, So wish I could have met you with the rest of the Nor Cal Gals:(...Maybe next time.

I have been too busy and I have to make myself take a couple days off and do little or nothing. Yesterday I finished the texture on the Room and even if I say it myself...it looks great! I will primer it in a day or 2 but not today for sure I need REST!! My poor old body is hurting and my mind is to busy...yep, time for a break!
My grandson went over to his cousins to visit for the week so we are back to the house of 2+ critters. He and I had a wonderful visit and I feel so fortunate to be close with my grand kids, even if the live so far away.
Well, I hope everyone has had a good weekend. Try to stay cool LOL If at all possible, It is a scorcher here today!!!


HUGS

Good Morning Janine and Cali Friends,

Yesterday was just too much fun for words.  What a surprise to have our own Rhonda and Janine "pop in" for a visit.  Way too cool.  We had a record turn out and a very fun time was had by all, including my hubby!

Today we were up early and visited the e-recycle with some stuff to drop off.  I'm going to visit the Goodwill store, drop off extra stuff from the luncheon yesterday and see if I can find a white long sleeve shirt that I need to wear for our gig on July 4th.  Black pants and long sleeve shirts UGH, in this heat I'll melt!  Oh well, once the suns down and those fireworks are popping overhead while I'm playing with the band I will be happy and comfortable I'm sure.

Two more days left of work and my interview on Tuesday!  Whoo hoo!  I gotta get things ready for that and we're on our way.  I am holding good positive thoughts and of course saying prayers too.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.  Remember to stay hydrated and keep cool!

Hugs,
Barb

Im having a great weekend!  Met lots of peeps at the Long Beach coffee and had a great time.  I've spent the weekend with a friend of mine who is very supportive of me and what im going through and today I'm headed out for my bro in laws birthday with my family.

If you really new me, you would know the strength I have mustered through out my life to go out and do what I want to do exposing myself to riducule for my weight.  I played sports, danced, was on swim team, drill team, etc.  Each time I ran for student council or danced on the rally stage, I got names called out to me in front of the whole school.  People are horrible in school. You would know that I have so much love for my friends and family.  You would know that deep inside Ive been so hurt by growing up with name calling and judgements by school mates and random strangers in public places that it is still hard for me to forgive or forget and hard for me to go to certain places without wanting to hide even though I hold my head up high and try to avoid it.

I could go on but that is enough for today.. It is a good topic, maybe i'll write on that for my personal therapy :)

Hugs!  Have a great day!

Hey Janine and Cali,

Ya I watched Oprah on Friday and was in tears alomst the whole time. I feel for those young kids who have to deal with those feelings, I know exactly how they feel and I realy wish them all my best. And I dont know how I would answer "if you really knew me"... I guess it would be this:
If you really knew me...you would know that I LOVE my family, my boys , my husband , my mom and dad, my sisters but I mostly LOVE just spending time at home on the couch with my husband looking at my beautiful boys! =)

If you really knew me...you would know that I have a very hard time trusting ANYBODY, because I have been betrayed so many times by so called "friends". I have a hard time believing that anybody "really" wants to be my friend that there is always an alternate motive...

if you really knew me...you would know that I think EVERYBODY talks **** about me when I walk into a room of people..lol no really im serious

thats just a few I could probably go on for days with that! lol


Have a great night everybody!
