I’m feeling Hot Hot Hot!

I would readily trade hot for all of the cold and snow we’re having here in the Midwest.

It’s the weekend, and with the cyclones bashing the coast late this week, we are being followed up with a heat wave.  No joke, its absolutely freaking HOT!  Got in my car to go down to the local golf club and the inside of my car was like a sauna.  The steering wheel had me driving with my finger tips, and my seat belt????  Okay, that was pure torture to try and put on.  It’s now 37 degrees Celsius, but if you ask me it feels more like 45!

So now I am back and in my air conditioned room, with a cold beer…(yes, nothing is better than a cold beer), and back at writing again.  Too hot to do anything else.

Might go down the local pool later.  Yeah.

Who went into my closet and shrunk all of my shorts?!?!??!

Wedding photo 1995Winter sucks.  Nothing new there.  In anticipation of our upcoming vacation out west, I tried on some of my shorts. Oh crap!  I’ve gained a few pounds over the winter, and now all of my summer clothes are too tight.  I just can’t seem to get motivated to exercise.

I was doing so well.  I lost 57 pounds five years ago, after having been overweight most of my adult life.  I gained 20 pounds back, but have maintained my weight for four years.  It is so hard to lose weight when you get older. One thing for sure, I will never be skinny, and that’s okay with me.  When you get too thin when you are older, your face gets really wrinkled. Not a look I’m going for.

One thing I would like to add for my younger followers: Don’t worry about being a bit thick. I was about 30 pounds overweight for many years, and that didn’t keep me from dating good looking guys.  It’s really all about how you carry yourself and your personality.

I married a handsome man eight years younger than me, and we are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year.  It’s all about attitude!

Here’s me and my handsome hubby on our wedding day twenty years ago.
