Sisters… Wednesday, Mar 28 2007

My Sister, author Nina Foxx (Shot out!), had this in her blog and I had to share it.  Go check out her blog http://www.ninafoxx.blogspot.com/

The Open Toed Shoe Pledge
As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules
when wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over
and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides
and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.
I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won’t wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker,
mother or sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won’t duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into
place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe professionally fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr.
Scholl’s if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low
price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids’ sizes. This
is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk
properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down
with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell
and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she
asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that
her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look
good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip
and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT
to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go my local nail salon at least once per season and
have a real pedicure (they are about $20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs
of wear… nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

 Thankx, Nina!

Why I’m not ready to have kids yet….. Tuesday, Mar 27 2007

I spent this past weekend with 2 of my god-kids.  They are 8 and 5 and all I can say is Kids 1, bunni 0.  I have never been so tired in my life. 

I started out doing fine.  Pick them up, we the Mall to do do some light shopping.  My god-kids are not like most kids their age.   They love the mall and ask to go to them this was developed at a very young age.  Probably because their mother and I or just their mother takes them to a mall at least once in a weekend.  Anyway, then we were off to a birthday party or as I like to call it a “Screaming/fighting/dancing Fest”.  Kids were screaming and yelling.  The boys were fighting and trying to flip like the guys in music videos.  While the girls were trying to out dance (Challenge!) each other and screaming “Look at this” or “Can you do this”.  What was supposed to be an hour visit turned into a 4 hours visit because the kids didn’t want to leave.  I had head ache by the end of that.  It should have been my first hint that I was in for it.  

Next we were off to another mall to pick up hand soap, but that turned into a 3 hours trip.  Filled with hitting each other and “She hit me”, “You hit me first”, “You get on my nerves” ”Stop it” ”No” and my favorite “LaDaa”.  By now I’m tired, hungry, and thirsty.  Last we were off to the video store and then Mickey D’s.  After dinner ( I had popcorn) and a movie (one of the three that caused a 2 hour discussion in the store) until 12:30am, I finally had quiet. 

The next thing I knew it as 8:30 am and I had a splitting headache.  At least the kids were up quietly watching TV waiting to hear me move.  Another thing their mom has taught them, THANK YOU!!!!  I got up, let them watch a the same movie from last night, got them dresses and we were off again.  First to Breakfast (Happy Face pancakes are the best things ever) and then to play glow-n-the-dark mini golf.  To my surprise this was so much FUN!.  We laughed at each other while we attempted to get thru the course.  In the end the 5 year old won the prise (with a little help from Aunt bunni).   Next we were off the the movies.  “Happily N’ever After” was the  cutest movie yet, and they seemed to like it.  Last we were off to yet another mall, this time to look at what they wanted to look at.  By know the 5 year old has decided that we are all evil and is no longer listening,  I didn’t want to do it but I had to call…”MOMMY”.  It was weird hearing the mommy voice coming from my best friend, but it worked.  

I dropped them off around 6pm and came home with a head ache, body ache, feeling generally bad and was sleep before 6:3pm.  The next thing I knew it was 9 and everything still hurt, then it was 6am and I couldn’t get off of bed. 

 Nope I’m not ready…..

Weigh Updated Thursday, Mar 22 2007

I woke up this morning and for some reason or another I looked down at my legs and notice something different.  They didn’t look like they belong to me, not even like the one’s I had 2 weeks ago.  Hell, my whole body doesn’t look like the same one I’ve had for the last 26 years.  I started to look at me as a whole, now and before.  There is a big difference.  I no longer look like the women in my driver’s license picture.  I got carded this past week and the guy didn’t think it was me. 

To confirm what I thought I got on the scale this morning and I lose another 9lbs.  That totally 79lbs down, and only 30 more to go!  GO ME,  GO ME, GO, GO, GO ME!

My rebirthday is coming up May 3rd, and I want to have lost at least 100lbs by then.  What is a rebirthday you might ask.  Go back and read my other blogs to find out…..

Spring is in the Air!!!! Thursday, Mar 22 2007

Hello Everybody!   Happy 2nd day of Spring. 

It is official spring started yesterday.  Even though it didn’t really feel like it here in MD.  But today is looking much better, it’s suppose to be at least 70 degrees.  Hopefully, Jack Frost will let the weather reflect the new season.  PLEASE Jake, PLEASE!!!!!  :~)

I’ve had my full of winter even though it’s my favorite season (both my favorite holiday and my birthday are during the chill months).  We had a mild season when you think about what was reported on the weather channel this year.  We had a warm spell for a while but the wicked wind and flash snow storms soon came to reminded us what season we were in.   I’m ready for spring and summer to begin.  The longer days, warm weather, the vacations, the cute summer clothes, shoes and of course BAGS.  I can’t wait!!!!!!

The Incredible Shrinking bunni! Monday, Mar 19 2007

My weight loss experience.  So here we go….

Up until last May I was losing a down hill battle with my weight.  As a baby I had shapely legs, which were then defined when I started dancing at the age of 3.  Like a true Pisces, I LOVE the water, and started swimming when I was 9 months.  So by the time I got to junior high I was pretty shapely and didn’t look like most of the skinny 12 year old girls.  Adding to all this,  I started to develop a bust very very early and was twice, most of the time three times larger than most girls my age.  After attending private school for elementary school I decided to make the leap to public in the 7th grade.  This is the beginning of the fall of myself image.

I remember going to junior high and not being prepaid in a number of ways.  1. In clothes, I wore skirts all the time because of private school, and being the “girlie” girl that I am, I love wearing them.  The kids all wore jean and huge ones at that.  So to fit in i changed to jeans, but they only made me look 3 times bigger than what I was.  2. In attitude, I’m a mild tempered person, who cares about the other person feels (sometimes a little too much).  3. Being teased,  up until this point I had never ever been called fat.  I new that I was more developed the others and that I was more muscular than most girls but I didn’t think I was fat nor had I heard that before.   Some where in my 12 year old mind it made since to go home and eat because I was already “fat”.  What as truly saving me was that I was still every active in the 7th grade.  Dancing, swimming and cheerleading were keep me toned.  In the 8th grade though, I dropped swimming and dance and was only doing cheerleading.  With the decrease of exercise, I started to truly become fat.  If I only knew then what I knew now. 

Fast forward 10 years.  After being 260lbs for a year,  even though I exercised, was still into cheerleading as a coach (still am…lol),  and dieting I wasn’t loosing any weight.  The worst news came from my Dr.  I was borderline diabetic and the same size as my mother when she and every women in my family was diagnous with diabetes.  Something had to be done.   I tried everything:  diet pills, shakes, low carbs diets, even a medical diet with no results.  We both decided that we had hit rock bottom and should consider Gastric Bypass.  This is the surgery were your stomach is cut down to a smaller size, so you eat less food and begin to lose weight up too 100lbs.  After going thru screening process, mental evaluations, and meet with the surgeon of over a year to make sure that I was physically and mentally ready for this decision.  I was given a surgery date May 3,2006- My reBirthday.

A new beginning!

On May 3rd 2006,  I was reborn.  My way of think about food, exercise, my health and ultimately myself had to change.  I needed to start to care more about me the way I think about others.  My eating habits were going to change.  All the ”junk food” I had grown to live on were now my enemies.  Because I wouldn’t be able to eat all the cookies, cakes, and the soda just to name a few from my large list…lol. My surgery was successful and I had no complications.  I’ll admit the first month was ruff.  But as the weeks and months went by,  I began to see results.  I was finally losing weigh, not to mention my energy level was increasing.  It’s been 9 months and I only have 35 more pounds to loose.  I feel great, like a totally different person.  I retrained myself how to eat properly, and now crave salads, fruits, and peanut butter just to name a few instead of cakes and candy’s. 

Do I think this surgery is for everyone?  NO.  You first have to understand what the the surgery is.  It’s just a tool.  To reteach you how to eat and exercise.  So if your not up for that kind of life change don’t bother.

Empty out your junk…Hand over the handbag and no one gets hurt! Monday, Mar 12 2007

Handbags, purses, pocketbooks, clutches, totes, hobos……Bags period, I love them all. 

I’ve had a fascination, a need, a love for handbags since I can remember.  I picked out my first Easter coat based on the fact that it had a handbag that I would not put down.  There are a number of pic of me just learning how to walk, with my Mommy’s purses on.  I was the only kid in elementary schools with a purse on everyday.   In junior high I switched over to “Jansport” bookbags because I was going thru a Carry one BIG bag stage.   The Total opposite of High School when I carried both….lol.   Unlike most kids my age I’ve always knew, who made the “good” bags and started asking for them when I turned 12.  I got my first Coach bag at 16 and the rest was history.  I actually still have and use that bag…lol.

On a recent trip to back to my other home NY (I moved to MD when I was 15) I was in bag heaven.  From 5th Avenue, to the corner sellers, to the right store on Canal street, to the boutiques with all the cute clothes that I can now fit with my new body ( a whole different blog) I was in HEAVEN.  There were a couple of women who I wanted to say in the nicest voice ” Empty out your junk…Hand over that gorgeous handbag….walk away and nobody gets hurt”.  LOL.  Instead I’ve decided to come back to Maryland, along with three new bags….hehe….work on getting at least a 3.75 GPA in Fashion Merchandising at MSU (GO BEARS), because I’m going to need the big bucks to just afford my habit.  

The latest love of my life, a Fendi medium buckled shoulder bag (this one is shown is patent leather), cost $1,730.00 before tax. 

Got to get to work!
