This may sound silly....

This may sound silly, but it is something that got me excited. My in-laws took a cross country trip to California to visit family and brought me back a necklace from the black hills. It is a dragonfly colored with blues and black. I love that color combination. Anyway, I took it off the card it was attached to and put it on. I have worn it several times this week and have gotten alot of compliments on it. I am just realizing that I took it off the card and wore it.....with no necklace extender....OMG! This is a HUGE revelation for me! No necklace extender, and I am not choking to death. Heck, I have even slept in a few times because I forgot to take it off. I have in my jewelry box at least a half dozen extenders. Most are attached to my favorite necklaces. Maybe I will go through my jewelry box and remove them and try out some other necklaces. I am crazy-happy to be seeing some results of all my hard work. My face looks a little droopier, but I am beginning to see a shadow under my chin. I don't go straight from chin to neck anymore. Progress is a wonderful thing!

High Five's!!!!

Oh my goodnes, what a difference a couple of days make!
Let me start with yesterday. I wanted to do another granola bar deal at Kroger's, I was tired and cranky and just wanted to get it over with. So, I run in and just grab 4 bags of the Nut Clusters and 4 boxes of Fiber One bars.
4*nut clusters 4/10.00
4*F1 bars 4/10.00
-2* 4.00 instant discounts = 8.00
-4*1.00 MQ for clusters
-4*.40 MQ for F1 bars, doubled to .80
I saw a total of 4.80.....I think, and ready to swipe my card......then....VOILA!!!
My total came to .40!!! cashier was "HUH?"...I was "HUH?", I start digging in my purse for loose change, paid and ran out the door! I got to the car to check out my receipt and found 3 shortcuts e-coupons for the nut clusters and 1 cellfire Q for the clusters at 1.00 ea, and a .40 shortcuts for the F1 bars. My mood was instantly better, I laughed all the way home!

Today went like this........down 2.8 pounds!!! Doesn't get any better than that!

Ever had one of those days?

Yesterday was what I would consider a bad day. It started when I got out of bed and stubbed my toe on the dresser. Ouch!!!....I stumble downstairs to get coffee, sleepy dust still in my eyes. Thank goodness I did not have to make the coffee. Hubby was already up and gone to work, so he had made coffee. I putter around on the computer for a little while. I am lovin Farmville on Facebook. Anyway........I go to take a shower.....I turn into a complete SPAZ in the shower! Everything I touch, drops! Even if I don't touch it with my hands, just brush up against it, it falls to the floor. I felt like a bull in a china shop! Bend over and pick up my razor......my butt hits daughters shampoo and falls off the shelf......pick it up and here comes the conditioner....Get everything back on the shelf and grab my bodywash......I managed to knock over everything on my shelf.....Oh this is not a good sign, maybe I should just go back to bed!
I finally make it out the door for work. Get to work only 8 mins late! Work went ok, except for grumpy old men all day long! 5:00 comes around 9 hours later. (I ate lunch at work) Finally get to go home and Hubby wants to go see a movie. Law Abiding Citizen. I had heard of it, but knew nothing about it. I hated it! I nearly got up and left. The only redeeming quality was Gerard Butler, I love him! And the previews....ughhhh...I hate scarry movies. Always have. I am a wuss!
