Pictures from this morning... Still not the weight I want to be but getting there.. Soon after these were taken I was covered in dog fur... still can't find the roller. lol

I've dated mostly guys that were older than me in my life. The last one being 12 years older than me. There is part of me that finds so much in common with men my own age but there is something so intriguing to me about older men. Not that any of the relationships I've been in have worked out really yet so I can't say if it's good or not... I don't have a problem with it though, I believe love is love and you can't control who your heart falls in love with, age, race, sex or otherwise! If I fell in love with a woman 20 years older than me of a different race my family would just have to accept it, and I know they would. The most important part about love for me is two people that can allow each other to be themselves and not worry about the judgment or ideas of others... While I'm on the subject I should just throw out there that I don't believe in jealousy either... I believe that if there is real love there is no room for jealousy.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Dog is obnoxiously cute.

National Go Red for Women Day is today.

Happy Healthy hearts to all of you.

Yeah it was important enough to be the title. I need to update my little ticker one of these days. I had hit 199 a little while back but bounced around all over the place and hadn't gone under 200 again until this morning when I hit 198.8!! I skipped 199 this time. hehehe That's how the weight loss has been for me I lose a few gain a few (but less than I lost) back and then lose a few more and then gain a little back and so on... it's annoying but overall I'm down down down.

Work was AMAZING yesterday. I don't have time now but maybe later I'll talk about it.

I'm wearing a leopard print jacket today.

This is pretty amazing.

I saw a card the other day on the cover it said "I miss your kiss" and on the inside it said "and that thing you do with your tongue..." hehe

We got a dog, he's a year old and not going to get much bigger than he is now. Smaller than Bucky was. These were taken with my cell phone, I'll get better pictures once I remember where my camera is. His name is Lucky, we realize how close that is to Bucky but considering he came from one of those high kill shelters before the place we got him from got him we think he's pretty Lucky, plus we're lucky to have him. I know not very original but that's okay.

Time for another picture log.

The other night I was sitting here minding my own business and I heard a knock on the patio door. I look over and there he was.... I think he was using the laser beams in his eyes to break through the glass, what he didn't know is that soon Booboo would find him catch him, bring him inside, let him go, chase him, catch him, let him go, chase him, catch him and then let him go and cry at him for the rest of the night...

Tonight Haley and I went out to dinner.

Don't we look cute?

And we met a man who came to our table and made her a balloon animal, as he listed a bunch of exciting and exotic creations he could make she asked for a tiger.

She loves it.

The same man gave me his card, he plays Santa at the mall. We're gonna go by and visit him while he's there next month. Haley asked him how long he's been making balloon animals and he replied "probably longer than your mom has been alive," he's been doing it 30 years, I'm almost that old! hehe

We had a nice night. We're going to go read more from our book once she's ready for bed. We're working on "Where the Red Fern Grows."

Kitchen clean, entire house to go... but it's cool because I'm feeling motivated, only thing I still have to do is wipe down all the surfaces, some reason I have always had an aversion to that. I hate touching sponges so that may be why... hehe

Btw, thank you everyone for the comments lately. I know I've been sporadic with my visits here and I'm not sure I'm even fully back but it's encouraging knowing there are people here who care about whats going on with me.

I announced in protected but I figure I should announce it here too because I'm so happy with myself, I got a raise this week. What I didn't mention was that it's the first raise I've ever gotten in my life. In the past I worked for family and was getting paid well from the start so never did get a raise, never knew to ask for one to be totally honest, but that's okay because it was a long time ago and I was happy with what I was getting at that time. The other jobs I wasn't at long enough to get a raise. The cool thing is I enjoy what I do and there is room to move up and all of that in the future.
