Does this donut make my butt look big?

It's Friday....oh yes, I love Fridays!! I love the giddiness I feel thinking that tomorrow morning I will get to sleep in. I am NOT a morning person and if I am out of bed before 10 on a weekend it's because hell has froze over. But, I won't be sleeping in tomorrow morning because my son has a dentist appointment at 8 o'clock in the freaking morning. Oh well, I'll make it up with a nap.

I work in an office with 11 other women and 5 men. Today was one of the owner's birthday. So there was a big pot-luck at work. I took shrimp cause I knew it was a good protein food for me and I love it! So....I had about 8 shrimp, 7 layer bean dip with corn chips, a bell pepper strip with ranch and pineapple. I was feeling pretty good that I didn't partake of the mayo-laden salads even though I ate way more than I should be able to (I have 4 cc in a 14 cc band). Well, that is to say I was good UNTIL they brought out the ice cream cake and banana bars. I had a small piece of the ice cream cake and about 1/2 of a banana bar. And it made me sick to my stomach. I haven't had that much sugar at one time in a couple months and it really kicked my butt!! Now, I have never PB'd or thrown up and I don't intend to start....I'm not sure I'm even capable of throwing up. I can count on 2 fingers the # of times I have thrown up in my life. I even tried to make myself throw up a few times and I can't do it.

I was reading Drazil's blog earlier today and she was asking a few questions. So, I have invited myself to answer the ones from today. Nope, not shy here.

1. How many piercings do you have? (the ones you can tell us about anyway – *wink wink)

I currently only have 2 functional piercings in my earlobes. I have 2 additional on each side that are closed over. I also used to have nipples pierced (does that count)? I actually had to have them done 4 or 5 times, I lost count. Every time I would have some kind of surgery I would have to take them out, but the time I got home they would be closed over and I'd have to have it done again. When I had sinus surgery 2 yrs ago I just never got around to having the rings put back in. But, when I get skinny and have that boob lift I'm going to have them done again for sure!!

2. How many tattoos do you have? If you have none and wanted to get one – what would it be?

I have 5 but want at least one more. I have some flowers and a vine on my calf that I got the week I got pregnant with my son. I had been so good for 9 months...going to church and everything. I had a bad week, got drunk, got a tattoo and got pregnant. So yea, that one has a special meaning to me. Hey when you fall off the wagon you gotta do it BIG! I have another one on my back of an African Grey parrot and a Quaker parrot with flowers and leaves. I heart parrots and I did rescue and rehab for several years. I still have my Quaker and he's a sweetheart. Then I have my lipstick and eyeliner tattooed. Ever want your lips tattooed?? Give your iron a good kiss while it is on the cotton setting and then run a cheese grater across them really fast for about a minute. And it's so sexy when the scabs start falling off. But yea, it's worth it! LOL The tattoo I want is of a spool of thread and scissors with the thread wrapped around my ankle. It's the picture on my mom's headstone. I loved spending hours in my mom's shop sewing with her....she taught me so much and I really miss her!!!

3. If you’ve ever suffered from a weight-loss plateau, what’s your best advice to get past it?

I'm only 28 pounds down, so I haven't hit one yet. Mostly in the past when I try to lose weight and I stop losing I get frustrated, give up, and then gain it all back. But not this time, this time I'm in it for the long haul....NO QUITTING ALLOWED!!


4. You pick one thing for just one day next week that you want to do….and mentally doing it for the one day can totally jump start more successes. And I feel like I can do anything for just one day.

I like Drazil's water idea so I'm going to copy-cat her and do the same. I hate drinking my water! I'm lucky to get 2 bottles of water in me by the time I leave work at 5. Then if I get another in me at home I'm patting myself on the back. So...I need to make a schedule...a bottle drank by 10:00, 12:00, 3:oo, 5:00 and 8:00. That is 5- 16.7 oz bottles for the day. That's my goal and I will choose Monday because that will be a good way to start the week. And if I can do it on Monday then I should be able to do on Tuesday.

5. Repeat *make someone a Superstar* question – what's your favorite blog or comment of the week?

I've peaked at a few blogs, but I have read Amy's blog (Cheese & Sunkist) from start to finish. So I am going to have to say her blog. She is so motivated and has such a good attitude about life and all the crap that goes with it. How can anyone possibly be pissy after reading Amy's blog??? She uplifts me and gives me hope that I will be cute and sexy one day too!!!

Dinner's ready so I'm signing off for now.
