pretty much sums it up

The man who wants a garden fair,

Or small or very big,

With flowers growing here and there,

Must bend his back and dig.

The things are mighty few on earth

That wishes can attain.

Whate'er we want of any worth

We've got to work to gain.

It matters not what goal you seek

Its secret here reposes:

You've got to dig from week to week

To get Results or Roses.

chocolate craving

Yesterday afternoon I bought a chocolate bar from a gal in our neighborhood.  She was raising money for her soccer team.  I remember this chocolate from high school, how delicious it was. 

I tore open the wrapper, took one whiff and distributed it amongst the children; which they devoured it quickly. 

NO regrets about choosing NOT to eat it! But it was torture to pass it by.  I just turned off my brain so I wasn't reminded about what I was MISSING.  Grrrrrgh.

woot woot

GUESS what? I needed something PINK for New Beginnings coming this Wednesday, which is a good excuse to go shopping.

Went to Kohl's the other day.  I found a shirt for $7.99 in a size smaller than what I wear.  I tried it on anyway, thinking that I'd buy it and hang onto it until I could fit into it.  (I LOVE CLEARANCE!!!!!)

It FIT.  Not only did it FIT, I looked darn cute.

Can I get a woot woot?

month 4 pictures

Trying HARD not to break into a HUGE smile!

Me being goofy!

Doesn't really look like much difference in the picture from last month. 

 I'll kick it up a notch for this month!!

coming soon!

My Month 4 pictures are on their way! They're stuck inside my camera and are taking too long to upload. 

BLOGGER is so frustrating sometimes!

I promise, check back TOMORROW and you'll see them.  Thanks for your continued support!

what does 50 pounds look like?

I wanted to HOLD 50 pounds.  I dragged my Mom to the baking aisle of Walmart and I wanted to get a picture of me holding 50 pounds of something.  I did flour first, and it was H-E-A-V-Y! I couldn't actually lift the bags at the same time! Two bags of 25-lb flour is unreal.  UNREAL to think that I actually hauled this around with me everywhere.  NO WONDER I was always out of breath!

I wanted to see smaller increments and I held 10 bags of sugar!

This is my favorite! Not only because it's one of my most favorite THINGS in this world (I adore chocolate), but I am holding 42 BAGS of CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!! That's how much 50 pounds is.
