I am feelin' Lucky..

Jeans that is. I finally had to get out all my favorite jeans and clothes that I had gotten way to big for this weekend because I didn't have anything to wear. My regular jeans were hanging way down on my hips and most I could pull on and off with them buttoned and zippered.

So I get out my favorite Hydraulic and Lucky jeans and YaHOO! I could fit in them. Some of my favorite stuff was even a little big for me. Just imagine a happy dance right now. That was what I was doing all day Sunday. I haven't been able to wear some of these jeans since I graduated college in '05. And they are all still stylish thank goodness.

I went shopping today while Poogie was at ballet dance camp. I went to my favorite store in the mall and was so happy to find I can now fit in their clothes and look good too. I purchased some cute shorts and tees on clearance. Now all I have to do is loose those last 5 pounds and I get to purchase my reward, a new pair of Lucky Jeans I have been eyeing for months.

I also have to make a final decision about what kind of smile that I want when I bet my permanent bridge. I have been looking forever for the perfect smile. The problem is what is perfect to me is hard to find. I don't want perfectly straight, false looking teeth. I want a natural looking smile. I think I will hit the bookstore tomorrow and check out a few more smiles in the magazines before I make my final selection.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope all of you had a safe and fun 4th. I know we did. We BBQ bologna and hot dogs (BBQ baloney is popular around here, I don't eat it) and all the other stuff to go with it. To end the evening we went to our local high school and watched some awesome fireworks. All in all it was a great holiday.

This is one of those holidays that really gets to me. When I get a moment to think about the what this day really means, and how scary it must have been to think about the consequences of their actions (the founding fathers) I get chills. John Adams was on all day to day on HBO and although I never got to set down and watch any of it I still feel a connection with these great men because of that mini series. Today also marks the death of both Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Two awesome, visionary leaders. Thank God for bringing all those great men and women together at one time to lead us. I pray that something that awesome happens again.

I Have a New Addiction..

I hate to say it but another rock band has become my new addiction. I Love Linkin Park and they will always be No. 1 with me, but there is another that is a very close second.


My hubby came home a few weeks ago and showed me this video of a band on You Tube he thought I would like. The song was Waking the Demon by Bullet for My Valentine. Little did he know he really started something with me. I loved that song and soon found many that I liked by the young Welsh rock gods, especially Tears Don't Fall. This pic is from that awesom video.




Now I know their music may be out there for many of you, but I just had to share. I am so hooked.
