It's My Birthday..yeah yeah yeah

Whelp, I have said it before and I will say it again, I start a new year over on the day I was born. After all that was my grand entrance into this great big world not Jan 1st..DUH!! I like to reflect back on all the things I learned and and the great things I got into thru out the year. So here are just a few..
I learned from my wonderful hubby that mayonnaise NEVER expires
I learned that a 2 hour flight can turn into ETERNITY.
I learned that In home daycare just isn't the place for my kids
I learned that it really is true negative energy IN is negative energy OUT
My kids have taught me that snakes really have bones :o)
I learned that some close friends really do move on and it is OK
I have learned our parents are really getting older.. and not so fun accepting those things that come along with that :0(
I have experienced life long friends all the back to grade school that I love dearly and what a great feeling.
I learned there are some CRAZY Bitches that blog out there...
I have learned that hard work pays off..SOMETIMES
So a few more things I have to share.. I have been on this weight loss journey for a little over a year now and have been looking thru pictures for a project at work and noticed I am the only one holding the camera 24/7 and well probably cause I was a fatty fatty 2x4 for a few years. I was never ever big before it was just thru the stint of having kiddos and I guess everyone goes thru it but sheww I can see where people get into depression mode over that stuff.. UGH. Anyway, I found a few pictures I wanted to share to show how far I have come keep in mind they are mostly head shots.. silly me. Not anymore!! :0)
I have had a pretty good year lots of crazy things have happened but for sure looking back have made me stronger. I flew out to Oregon and visited with my childhood friend from kindergarten and went gambling we had so much fun..CraZZZyyy Thelma and Louise trip I do say... I went to Dallas for 2 weeks for the NBA playoffs was quite a different experience. I walked beside my best friend loosing her dad this year and that was quite a journey. I also have met the sweetest little old man along that flight home. Along without even knowing boarded the plane with him again after getting phone call to fly home in response to a heart attack with my own father. Funny how God watches over us. We are now very good friends and probably will be for life. I am blessed with a wonderful family and great friends. I am now counting the days roughly 730 days from today I will have my mommy make-over and laying on the beach with my life long girl friends from grade school we have all pinkie swore we would Ya Ya Sista on a beach for our 40th.. No one is taking a MILF.. bahh Haaa Haaa. ahhhhh getting old and having more insurance and slidding sideways is feeling quite nice I do believe...and who said getting od was a bad thing??
