Weigh in Day, 100th post and Awards

Well I wish I had good news for weigh in day, but I don't. Well I guess you could say that it is good news, but not for me. I lost zero pounds. Still at 22 pounds lost.

You know how in the beginning you lose weight pretty fast and then it stops. I think I have reached that point. Now I think (fear) I am really going to have to work at losing. I guess I am going to have to add more than just walking to my routine. I walk at least four days a week if not more and walk over two miles. I don't know about everyone, but I have a hard time motivating myself to but an exercise tape in the VCR, (yes I am still in the dark ages). I refuse to join a gym and pay their prices, (yes I'm cheap). Even if I did join a gym, I would lose interest and stop going anyway, (been there done that). Well I must think about what I want to do. Any suggestions?

Well I have finally hit the 100 mark. My first post was in November 2007. I am still trying to find my niche here, but I guess I blog like I live everyday life. Scattered all over the place and reserved.

I thought it fitting to save my awards for my 100th post. Bobbie gave me two awards last week. "Just plain fun to read" and "You make me smile". I appreciate this very much. Bobbie was the reason I started to blog in the first place. She would always tell me what Kitty wrote about and that I should start my own blog. I am not comparing myself to Kitty. She writes beautifully (please visit her). I thought about this for a while. Very seldom do I ever just do something. I must think about it for a while. Once I've decided I either forget about it or jump in.

So anyway, these awards came with no strings attached. No need to pass them on, which is good because I always feel bad about choosing blogs to award. Everyone I read is "Just plain fun to read" and "Makes me smile". I love the fact that I have met people from all over the world. It is interesting to me to see where people live through their pictures and words. I have enjoy how friendly and open everyone is. How some pour their hearts out and how other's are there with hugs, kind words, words of encouragement and just plain caring. So with all that said, I welcome every one to take these awards and display them proudly on your blogs. You all deserve them.

Just a funny little story. Yesterday I was washing the inside of my car windows. There were three little kids out playing. When they walked by, I smile. I heard the little boy then say, "She's not mean. She's nice. She just smiled at me." Trying not to laugh and not make it obvious that I heard them, I continued to clean the windows. He continued to talk about me smiling at him. As I was walking to the back of the car I decided to have a little fun. I said to him with another smile, "Hi! How are you today?" With a big smile from him he said, "I'm okay." To the two little girls, "See I told you she was nice." What could you say to that.

On a political note, (which I do hate to talk about), one morning last week I was listening to the radio. There must have been a debate between McCain and Obama. Someone had asked McCain how many properties (houses) he owns. McCain's answer. "I'll have my advisor look into this and let you know." What's this about? Don't you know how many properties you own? You don't know how many properties you own and you want to run this country? It is small things like this that make my mind up. Now I am not saying that I am voting for Obama or McCain. I have honestly not made up my mind yet.

Well I have rambled enough and I must go. So to every blogger who visits, please accept the awards. You all deserve them.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
