Short on Time so ... Picture Book of What I Have Been Up To

Went to work one day and guess who was there?



Went out with friends to celebrate closing on the new house. No, I wasn't in trouble. See those smiling faces?



The "New" house has this...What? No, it's not that kind of bar. It is a 1950's Soda Fountain! I mentioned this to my Girl Scouts and they all want to have a sleepover at my house.



Oh, and what is this? Starting from left to right: wood stove, indoor grill and gas stove. All of this is in the same room as the Soda Fountain.



This was me mid June this year



This was me September 4th with a Secret Service Man (yes, really).



Me on September 15th (sucking in my tummy as if my life depended on it)



Me on September 28th, not sucking in my tummy. This was taken after being in the office for 10 hours then coming home to pack up boxes for the move and three nights of 2 hrs of sleep each. This photo was taken at around midnight by my son who snook up behind me and surprised me! I know my make up really should have been take off by then and eww but look at the rest of me! I went from a size 16 to an 8!

Did I starve myself? Did I join a gym and work out like crazy while starving myself? No, I bought a Ramones CD and started dancing around the house while doing house work, helping Snow White with homework and packing. Just moving around (dancing around) after work every day for an hour.

Went back to my "hometown" during a festival and to see many wonderful friends.



Played Tourist and took 364 photos in my hometown but my blog wont hold them all. Might post more later.

Sounds like a busy summer.

Congrats on the weight loss!

Well look at you, pretty lady! Is this the first time you've posted a current picture of yourself?

You know what's funny about your DW picture? When I was snow white's age - I went to DL and wore something almost exactly like it. And do you know what that means? It means two decades have gone by and fashion is recycling itself. I feel a bit old right now. ;)

Oops, let me clear that up - I wore something almost exactly like what SW is wearing.

And big congrats on the weight loss!! Glad you got there in the healthiest way possible, too! :)

Me-ow, sexypants! We can trade clothes!! Want a kitty litter Halloween costume? Or an 80's prom dress?

And...?

YOUR BASEMENT IS AWESOME. That "bar" is a-freaking-mazing. So jealous.

WM, I really need to have you and hubby over for a weekend. You need to bring your retro outfits and such because you are the only one I know who could pull of a great pic of this room. The AC units (decorative now) and the Piano Organ would so call for your retro attention. July 4th I plan to have a huge bash here. I have been told my house is THE place to be for the fireworks!

Hi , I've been reading your blog non stop for the past few days ! Lol

The thing is I really got into the story of Ronnie and yourself and was just wondering what happened ? I searched through all your other posts and there doesn't seem to be an ending to it ?? I myself am going through a very similar experience ( well my hubby is in the navy and I haven't seen him for three months and he's being deployed to Afghanistan soon ) your entries made me laugh out loud and cry :( especially when you found out he was going to Germany ! I can relate to that as I met him while he was deployed and one day he just went back to America :( its been 3 months and with him being deployed to Afghanistan for a year its killing me .. Not knowing when I'll see him again .

I really would love to know how things turned out ? Did you guys get married ? Are you still married ? Lol I don't know if your even going to see my post but if you do please please fill me in !

My email is somaiah.d25@windowslive.com

Gosh , its difficult to find women who actually understand what it feels like to be separated from those you love the most .

Wishing you the very best , somaiah x
