Grandma



My grandmother passed away last weekend. She was 90 and tired and ready to move on. I am happy that she is not stuck in her old broken down body anymore. It is a relief to not see her suffering anymore. I think this is why I have not cried as much as I think I should. It will hit me sometime, how much I miss her. I will probably get all my crying out then.

Grandma died seven years after my grandfather, on their 66th wedding anniversary. They loved each other so much. I'm not religious. I don't have a seance of what comes after this life. But this makes me wonder about the forces out there. I'd like to believe that Grandma and Grandpa are out there dancing together somewhere in the great beyond.

Dorothy Parker Bobble Head

I had a dream last night about a Dorothy Parker Bobble Head.
...I don't think they exist.

2 weeks in paradise.

OMG! I'm so excited!!!! I just locked in my wedding/honeymoon plans.
Get this:

Arrive MAUI 3:30pm
Stay at the Prince Hotel 7 nights
island hop to Kauai 7 nights
Leave Kauai 9:05pm

That's 2 whole weeks! I don't think I've ever been on vacation for 2 whole weeks, ever! And certainly not in paradise.
Have you ever been? Do you have any "Must Do/See" things to put on the list?

SO excited!

Starving to Death!

I worked my waitressing gig this evening. I felt like I was starving to death! All this wonderful beer and cheese covered fried food everywhere. I'm going to have the hardest time with the work nights, that is for sure. I did it though. I made it out of there without compromising my new goals. I'm pretty proud of myself.

5 Months

It occurred to me this morning that I only have 5 months to lose weight for my wedding pictures. 5 MONTHS! I can do it. I can...I know I can. Oh shit. I think I'm going to have to give up on the booze and the coffee for a while to help push it along though. Can I do that?!

This is going to be a rough 5 months.
