I call bullshit on our weather forecast for a couple of reasons, first because it’s not even Spring yet and we’re already sweating our butts off here people!
Also...80 degrees in North Texas is more like 90, the freaking humidity is unbelievable.
Friglet and Smizzo tried to make me feel better by telling me that thanks to the HUMIDITY we have better skin here, nice try girls and I love y’all for trying, but that is hard to think of when in MARCH we are already sweating like pigs. There is no way to make “perspiration” look good here, there is no “healthy glow”. There is only normal sweating in JANUARY and then dripping sweat off your entire body by the buckets until November!
This is were those charming Southern sayings come from, “I’m sweating like a whore in church” and my favorite “I’m sweating like a virgin at a Prison Rodeo.

Good thing we have a sense of humor down here, and iced tea...and Margaritas.

I went bra shopping today, something that used to be a frustrating nightmare was so much fun this time!
I didn’t have to look for hours for the right size or one close to it, all I had to do was find the bras I liked and get my size to go try on.
It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve worn a bra and I still don’t really need one, but with some tops the headlights are too noticeable for my taste, and that of JR’s when we’re in public.
A perfect D cup! that’s me! this is all still so freaking cool!
It’s like putting on a glove, everything just fits as it should and the bra actually enhances and doesn’t pull, tug or hurt in any way.

I just had to share that, I know I’m probably making y’all sick with all the boob talk.
I’m off to settle down with a cup of tea and catch up on Real Housewives of NY, it’s not RHOC but I do enjoy Jill and Bethenny.

Bold the states you’ve been to, underline the states you’ve lived in and italicize the state you’re in now…

I hope you all will do this one too, it’s neat to see where you’ve been.
If you do it leave a comment so I can take a peek at yours.

I can’t think of one single thing I will not miss about “winter”.
I love cold weather, I love snow and I feel cheated every year because we don’t get much of that here.

I’ve got a ton of work to do, but I’m not mentally prepared for it yet so I thought I’d exercise my brain here.
You can’t just go into work full force you know? you’ve got to stretch a bit or you’ll injure yourself.

Last night I went to a WW meeting, I’d been putting it off for a long time, I paid for last month and never went to a single meeting.
It was a very pleasant experience once I talked myself into getting out of the car.
I had kidded with JR that I might get too nervous and just go to Whataburger, so I called him as I was walking in and asked him if he wanted something from WB...heh! I’m so witty.
Yeah, so I went in and found out the meeting is on the 3rd floor, they had a sign that said “stairs to the right” and another one that read “elevator to the left”. I was not about to fall for that shit! I figured this was a test to see who was serious and they probably had a camera and were watching us...paranoid much?
I took the stairs, I hauled my ass up 3 flights of stairs with no problem, go me and my smaller boobies!

Right away I saw a girl I’d gone to HS with and we caught up while we waited to WEIGH in, OMG they have 2 scales that are a smaller versions of the Biggest Loser scales, and the numbers are only seen by the women signing you in, they write your weight down in your pocket guide and it’s up to you if you want to look at it or not.
I looked, no biggie.

I was glad that there were no “skinny bitches” at the meeting, and I was super duper glad that I was on the smaller side of the group, not quite sitting at the cheerleader’s table but not at the band table either, it feels good to not have SO much weight to lose, yeah the number is still daunting but not as bad as it would have been a year ago.

I learned a lot in the meeting, I’ve done WW online off/on for years and had results but I know going to meetings is going to work a lot better for me.

I met two really nice ladies around my age, we all have about the same amount to lose and we started yesterday, we made a deal to keep each other accountable.
The leader is awesome, she is probably 60 years old but is in great shape and has maintained a 60 lb. loss for over 20 years.
I feel really good about this.
Eating right and MOVING is what it takes to be healthy and lose weight, WW is not rocket Science but it does give you the support and information you need to succeed and maintain, the maintenance is where I’ve failed before because I can lose the weight but I have Yo-Yo’d my entire life.
I’m giving this my all.

I’ll keep y’all posted.

Dear Smizzo & Friglet,

Lately it has come to our (our = Misty & Monica) attention that you have been a couple of slack asses when it comes to updating your blogs and keeping us in the loop regarding what is going on in your lives.  Smizzo, we will admit, you have been better than Friglet, but seriously, a step above shit… well, it still smells like shit.  We have been in this thing for too long for you two to start getting all lazy on us.  I mean we are talking YEARS now.  We have put up with followed you through all your domain changes, we have shared WAY TOO MUCH TMI type information with you two, We have flown across the U.S. to meet you.  In a nutshell, we have invested quite a bit into this relationship we have, for you two to go and f*ck it all up.

Get off your asses and post.  Friglet - you owe us some information, get on it.  I think we can make it through this rough patch if you two start pulling your weight in this friendship.  I hope we don’t have to have this discussion again, or SO HELP US.

Love,
Misty & Monica

P.S. Seriously, we are not kidding - get on the ball or the rabbit gets it!

1. Stop worrying about things I know I cannot change
2. Be more frugal, actually that should just say BE frugal
3. Keep my mouth shut about certain members of JR’s family
4. Leave work at work
5. Stop letting my mail pile up
6. See Parents and In-Laws more often
7. Learn to stop wanting more and be happy with enough
8. Let bygones be bygones
9. Take care of my health, do all that it entails and stick with it
10. Love more, be slow to anger and just be better

I guess number 2 and 7 are kind of related, I just know that I see so many people around me being smarter with their money, cutting back on extras and such but I have yet to do it myself, I’m not good at sacrificing and I’m very impetuous in so many ways, when I want something I have to have it now.
Just like when a thought or opinion hits my brain it is out of my mouth in no time flat. I really hate that about myself because I end up hurting or angering people at times.
Opinions...I have a hell of a time keeping those to myself.

Number 8, jeez can I ever hold a grudge! I can forgive but forgetting is a toughie, I’m a work in progress. Ugh!

Number 3 is a biggie too, I can tell anyone who’d listen 1000 things wrong (in MY opinion) with certain people, and most of them would agree with me, but what good does it do? sure I get some relief getting it all out but does it solve anything? no. JR agrees with me and sees things as I do usually but hearing me go on and on hurts him and I know that, I would hate to hear him say those things about MY family true or not. So...I need to keep my big mouth shut.

Number 6, we don’t see our parents enough. JR and I are really blessed to have had amazingly great parents and they deserve more of our time. Life is short and I know that all too well, there is no excuse when each of our parents are just 30 minutes away.

This list made me think really hard, I didn’t add my usual resolution type things like lose weight, eat better blah blah blah. Those are implied and always on the list.
A few years ago I gave up on my yearly resolution to stop swearing...seriously, I have tried but it’s like I have Turrett’s or something(almost typed some shit).
I don’t even try anymore, it’s just part of me.
I don’t ever say the biggie, you know the biggie right? no not F*ck I say that with no problem and often, to me the biggie is GD, nope don’t say that one I have my limits!
JR laughs at me when I say things like “Oh my gosh what the fu*ck is wrong with these f*cking people??”
He says, way to go honey way to clean it up with a gosh...heh!

I know this is just supposed to just be a list but you got more that that, can I just learn to shut up?
