Growing Older, Sexier, and Skinnier











{June 18, 2008}   Okay I’ll Play…

I was recently tagged for a Meme by Nothing Fancy.  Here’s how it works.

The rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

(1)  What was I doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago this month in fact, they finally settled my late husband’s estate and I jointly inherited a bar with a lady that had worked there forever.

(2)  What are 5 (non-work) things on my to do list for today?

{September 3, 2007}   Just Had To Add This!

I know I just added my first post, but I had a little more to say. I don’t know, maybe this is like the alcoholic who visits several meetings a day when he first quits drinking.

I smoke, I drink, I have all the bad habits, and I am Obese! There, I said it. I’m not just “chunky” anymore.  I ‘live to eat’ instead of ‘eat to live’, as the father of my oldest daughter used to say. Being this heavy again just exacerbates the effects on my health that my other bad habits cause. I am like a million+ other Americans who don’t currently have health insurance, so it’s even more important for me to stay healthy. Oh, and that thing about throwing all your fat clothes away so you won’t gain weight again, that didn’t work for me. I’m lucky I saved a few, or I’d be running around fat and NAKED!
