Started a “diet” and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!

All right, it’s sort of a diet, but more of a weight loss goal.  I’m TRYING to watch what I eat (ha ha) and exercise more (hello Dance Dance Revolution… You’re getting some use these days!)  They say if you TELL someone  you’ve done this, you’re more likely to stick to it, but that’s NEVER worked for me!!!!  I just feel guilty when I quit, lol….  no, I have to do this for ME, and only me, no one else.  I did find an AWESOME site, http://www.sparkpeople.com that allows me to track my nutrition and exercise, for FREE… whoohoo for free, lol…  I was on WW, and it was EXPENSIVE…  I did like the point system though, especially because veggies were 0 points, you could eat as many of them as you wanted….

Oh HEY….  It’s OFFICIALLY June 29th… Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me…. happy birthday to me… happy birthday to me.  :).  Linda gave me the 12×12 "Once Upon a Time" Stack of paper, LOVING that… and I bought and ate my cake a week or two ago, lol… so no cake for me.  We are going to the Melting Pot for dinner (so MUCH for the diet, lol… I will have to exercise a LOT tomorrow!!!!!)  I LOVE the Melting Pot… such yummy food.

I think I’d better get off to bed… it’s 12:30, and I am TIRED… tired tired tired.

Yes, I am in an odd mood tonight.  Mixture of excitement and… I don’t know what else.  Oh before I post… gotta tell about the Disney outlet store today.  So went with Linda to Tracy, and after hitting the scrapbook store, hit the factory outlets, hoping the Disney store was still there.. it was.  Spent 2 and a half hours…. YES… went to buy my stuff, after choosing, putting back, choosing some more, wishing I could plunk down 200 bucks, and NO ID.  I couldn’t buy ANY of it.  I had to have had at least 100 dollars worth in my basket… I LOVE Disney, for heaven’s sake.  So we left, and I"m telling Linda how I should have let her ring everything up, and when she asked me for ID, THEN said, oh crud, no ID, and seen if she’d let it go… and Linda said, I don’t think she would have…and proceeds to tell me how the store manager was talking all KINDS of crap behind my back, about how my children were out of control, and how I probably wasn’t going to buy anything, and when I left, Linda hadn’t, and the woman goes "Thank God!"  Not to mention she said to Becca, my TWELVE year old, "Little girl, does that belong there?"  OMG… that just makes me SO mad.  LITTLE GIRL????  How rude. 
Okay, whatever… I am just wondering what I should do about it, if anything… you know?  I mean, that store is set to close on the 9th (my mom’s birthday, actually, AND the day before Shabree’s birthday… I could SO get some great presents for her!!!!)  I could just take the "high road" and ignore it, but gees, that is LOUSY customer service!!!!

Well, I will see if I can hunt down some info and either call or send an email… it would at least make ME feel better!

Okay, posting now… I sure as heck hope I can stick to this whole weight loss thing… I am SO tired of being this large… would like to see me thin again… that’s really how I view myself…. I am waaay to big right now… can’t even fit into my favorite, and awesome on me, red dress…can’t buy clothes that aren’t "fat clothes"  Yea… definitely need to lose even just 10-20 pounds so I can fit back into the dress… I won’t even try it on right now for fear of ripping it.  I’ll probably need to lose 25 to fit back into that dress… I think.  So maybe that’s the medium term goal, lol.

GOOD NIGHT!  I’m rambling, so that was for me, not for you guys.
