Stuff That Was More Fun 40Something Lbs Lighter

Voted Popular Blog Post: View All Popular Posts

Saturday, August 18, 2012


A lot of things are more fun to do, 40-something pounds lighter. Yes, I know. Thank you, Captain Obvious. But there's a difference between knowing something and KNOWING something. Come along for the ride, as I make that discovery for myself. Stuff like this is more fun if you share it.

Oh, here's a couple of quick pics:

My Crazy Family-- I'm particularly fond of them. :)

    This is the first vlog I've ever actually watched all the way through.

Know what I can do 40 pounds lighter? I can go up the big extension ladder to paint my house without panicking that it's going to collapse. I checked the weight capacity and and I'm within it! Just barely, but... YAAAY!

Thanks for your happy inspiration!

    emoticon You have indeed had an epic summer. Can't wait for the last installment.

When I saw you at Disney World all I thought was "PERRY!!" (is it bad that I know that??...lol).

I also think you did great with hooping and juggling at the same time. I can't juggle so that alone is impressive.

    What fabulous trips!!! And lady,.............you look mah-velous!!!!!! I didn't have any fab vacations like yours, but we took our 2 DGDs to Hickory Dickory Dock ( sort of like a Chucky Cheese) on Saturday and I climbed to the top of the soft play area with the DGDs twice!!!! And slid down the huge slide!! I could never allow myself to even try that before! And I rode the bumper cars with the little DGD while the bigger DGD drove her own bumper car! We had a ball!!! It was tight getting in and out, but we bumped along with the best of them!!! What a blast! So, I told my DD, as fun as this was, it'll be tons more fun next year when I'm smaller yet!! So, I totally understand the fun you had!!! emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon
