Shrinking Days of Summer

I am really hesitant to post this. First off, I don't post a lot lately. Second, I get tired of myself wanting to lose weight and not following through. It is just almost embarrassing to see it in black and white here on my blog. But, I am going to give it a shot. I didn't weigh myself this morning....but I did go to the doctor last week and know what her scale said (YUCK)! But maybe, just maybe.....I can get inspired by Shrinking Jeans!

Playing Tag!

My friend, Laughing Lady, tagged, or rather high-fived me with this little gem and I am playing along....just answering questions. Of course, I am supposed to tag folks when I am done but probably won't be doing that even though it may mean that little puppies will be killed if I don't....but, if you read this and want to answer the questions....GO FOR IT!!!!

If you could go anywhere for a vacation, money no object, where would you go and why? Who would you take with you? Wow! I don't even know where to begin. I liked Laughing Lady's answer to tour around the nation in a big camper, homeschooling kiddos. But I am reading Eat, Pray, Love right now and Italy is on my mind....and I'd take my family or at least Hubs if I can only take one!

What has been your biggest challenge as an adult? balance

What are you currently reading? What led you to that book? Hee, hee....well, I answered previously that I am reading Eat, Pray, Love. I'm reading it because the movie is coming out....actually due out ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! And I wanted to read it before I watched it.

What is one thing you will never ever ever eat? Why? I just really don't know. Nothing turns me off that much, as long as it is regularly eaten in America. Although, Laughing Lady made a good point about raw steak....I haven't had that opportunity....but I'd probably pass if I did!

It is Sunday morning, 10:00 AM. What are you doing? I should be at church....that is close to the time for worship, so that is the best part of church for me!

Which is more important to you? A tidy home or a clean home? Is there a difference to you? That is a difference that Hubs and I don't mesh on. Our 13 year old was pointing that out to us the other day. I want tidy....he hears clean. They are both important, though....I miss my housekeeper!

If you were given a full-ride scholarship to the post-secondary institution of your choice, where would you go? What courses would you take? I already have a Master's and really don't want to go back...but if I could just take some courses for the sake of learning....I'd take some Greek (thank you Beth Moore) and neuroscience (I might be a nerd!)

Would you rather go to an action movie or a girly movie? Girly

If/when you start to grow grey hair, will you wear it with pride or dye it into submission? I don't think I will ever KNOW when I start to grow grey hair since I already dye it....does that answer the question?

Dogs or cats? Cats!

True Confessions Tuesday

1. First Confession: I should be working right now and am not!
2. I rescheduled a 3 o'clock appointment that I probably could have kept!
3. I am so SCARED to weigh myself right now because the scale is up there and my clothes don't fit AND I am bloated (I hope I am bloated and haven't gained even more weight)
4. I am scared that I will never lose weight again because I can't stay "on program" OF ANY TYPE for more than a few hours!
5. I am cutting back (or they are cutting themselves back) on my extra jobs and I am relieved and scared at the same time.
6. I have never done these True Confessions Tuesdays and hope that I am allowed to "copy" the idea and that I did it right!
