I just got Lucky!!!

A self portrait. Everyone says that I take pictures of other and never myself (gee, wonder why?) so here you go....



Brother and sister sharing a moment. I love shots like these and I think that one day, they'll love them too.



My SerenieBeanie having fun.



I met my Girlies and we said our final goodbye to our favorite Tea house...which is closing. While we ate some delightful stuff, I'm sure going to miss our fun times here!



My beautiful niece came for the weekend and I couldn't resist taking her picture while she slept. I'm always awed by her beauty and her brain!

Thought you'd enjoy this...

This was me in February of 2008...Talk about jolly!

Another VidBlog

Let's see if my lips match this time....tee hee.

Off Sync

Hey...my lips move and don't match what I'm saying...too funny!

Trying a Video Blog

I actually have a couple of older vidblogs, but I've never posted them yet. It's weird to see the difference in my face from the first ones to now. Anyway, I thought I'd try something different, so you'll have to let me know if you like it or hate it. I have all of this equipment on my Mac, but I don't utilize it to it's full capabilities. I think it's about time I did.

I'm not giving up on the blogging....

Once I reach my goal weight. There's still the journey of maintaining the weight, right? Besides, I can't give you ladies up. My life without you in it would be dull. There's something about each of you that I connect with and can't live without now. So don't think you can lose me that easily. I can't wait to visit Aussie Land and visit my Aussie Ladies (That includes 'map of Tassie" land too....I mean the LAND...not someone's certain map of Tassie...Ok..I better just shut up cuz my foot is in my mouth and headed toward the band.)!!!

WARNING: GROSS STUFF AHEAD!!!

Ok, so I've had my last fill for awhile, and won't see the doctor until July 17th. In the meantime, I experienced my first public PB episode and it wasn't pretty! I had lunch (rolled beef tacos smothered in guacamole)...they're basically taquitos. I ate about 3 of them and felt fine. I started sipping my water about an hour afterward and headed to my Nail Girl's place. I get there, and I can't stop burping. She's working on someone else, but my burping is getting embarrasing. I walk around a little bit and she asks if I'm ok. I said yes, and kept walking around. I get to the front of the store and it comes up. My mouth is full of slime and stuff and I'm desperately trying to swallow it back down. In my head I'm wondering if I can run fast enough to the back of the store and the bathroom. No...I clamp my hand over my mouth as my cheeks start to bulge out like some nut-filled chipmunk on steroids, and make a run through the front door. I quickly glance right and left...there are people, but if I go behind a pillar, I can do it, which is what I do. Yakkkkk...out it comes. I would've gotten away clean if this long strand of thick saliva didn't purposely jump back on my shirt as evidence. Damn it!!!

I go back into the store.."Diz, are you ok...did you just get sick in front of the store?" Damn, she knows. Yes I said, I'm ok. I just have to clean myself up. I go into the bathroom. When I come out, I have this big wet block on the front of my shirt where I cleaned off the slime. I'm getting sympathy. Are you sick? No, I said...it must've been something I ate. Where did you eat? I told them and they said "Oh, we've heard of that place. Did you have chicken or beef? Beef. Oh, that must be it." Disaster averted, and they haven't figured out that I have a band yet. Sooner or later, it's coming out. Ah well.

The interesting thing was, when she was at her register at the front of the store, she could see it. She came back and said "It's not very chunky". I laughed and said that I've learned to be really good at chewing my food.
