Have you ever looked at a gravestone? On it you will find the date a person was born - and the date that person died. In between is a dash. This small symbol signifies a persons whole existence. When it comes time for my dash to be chipped in, I want to know I lived a full and wondrous life.

BLECH........


Okay, so here's a tip to anyone thinking of making optifast with frozen berries. DONT!!! lol It was the most vile, horrible, thick, gluggy, overpoweringly sweet drink I have ever had the misfortune of making. I managed a few mouthfuls (on the plus side I was kind of full after just this amount lol) then had to tip the rest of the glassfull into the sink. The other half I put aside for later is glaring at me evilly from the back of the fridge. Must toss that lot too. I expect it will clog up the sink lol.

I had the most FANTASTIC nsv this morning. I was at the shops, changing my sons new backback which gave up the ghost after two days, pfft... can't they make anything that lasts nowadays - and I decided to wander into Target to look for a new jumper. (I think maybe subconsiously I was doing a Nola.. she also had a great win that I just read about on her latest post) Anyway, I need a jumper. I only have two and I'm finding that a lot of my clothes are now looking just plain daggy and swimming on me (wonder why? lol) so I wandered up and down the jumper aisle.. and if your Target is anything like ours, there are a million jumpers to be had but all the sizes are mixed.. it makes looking for a new one a real challenge in itself.

Well, I got into a size 16 jumper!!!!!!!! OMFG!!!! I texted my BF to tell her and she was all excited for me. The girl who was at the checkout ran the doovalackie over the tagged barcode and the 16 was in plain sight. It gave me such a buzz! Now my jeans are getting way baggy (but not really around the stomach - sigh - this is really going to be a problem area for me) and I have to keep hoiking them up. Yet I'm not game enough yet to try for a size down. You would think losing almost 12 kilos (Thats two whole stone girls!!) would warrant new pants but........ I'm just not brave enough yet lol. Maybe soon.

Quick note also. Next time you pop in I will probably have changed my blog page so don't worry and go, "Am I in the right one?" You will be!! I hate the green now lol and I want something bright and fun, so I'm on the hunt.

Think that's about it now for this post. Just wanted to share :)
Off to pick up the kids now...
Be good and have a great weekend.
