So I'm having one of those crazy manic days. So far I've decided to change my look and style. It's something I've always wanted to do, but never really had the guts to do it. I have no idea why now all of a sudden I have the guts...but like I said, I'm having a crazy day. I even chopped off hair to make bangs. I always HATE having bangs after the first day! lol However...it fits into my new look, and so far I like them. It is of course the first day though. So we shall see how that one goes. The tell-tale sign is of course if they're pinned back in 2 days....I HATE them and wish I hadn't cut them. If they're still on my forehead, we're doing good. lol
I had Larr take a picture of me with my old pants (capri's) in front of me, and one of me without them...and I can't believe the difference!!

So these used to be mine, and YES I actually WORE them. I pretty much fit into one leg now!

This is me now. I still have 43 pounds to go, but I'm happy with where I'm at so far. Amazing what a little hard work and effort will do for you!
   I have a 5K coming up in March that we're doing for Chelsea King. She was a teenager that was abducted locally and killed. This is in honor of her as she was on the track team at her highschool and loved running. We'll be walking it as I learned running and I are just not friends. That's okay...fast walking works for me. Not so fast that I look like those people that speed-walk professionally. They look funny to me. I can't help but laugh when I see them so there is no way I could actually do that in public. I will just stick to my 14 minute miles and working on getting a little faster than that. I'm looking forward to the 5K. I've followed the story since the beginning and then became part of trying to get Chelsea's Law passed here in California.
   I have been spending a lot of time at the library lately. I got a new card and can't seem to get enough books. That's a problem, as I LOVE books. Only I can't read EVERYTHING I check out in the time I'm given. You think I could learn to be less selfish and leave behind what I know I can't read now...but so far that hasn't worked. I'm still trying to fit them in! lol Like I said, the card is new so the novelty of being able to check out as many books as I want will wear off. Sometime. Right? lol Of all the books I checked out, wouldn't it figure that the one I'm reading now is the one I got from the children's section (you will appreciate that, Marjorie), it's The Secret Garden. I love it and when I saw it I couldn't pass it up, nor could I start another before I finish it. Who know's which will be next.
