Well I went to Biloxi for Mardi gras this year. I grew up there soI wanted to go. I loaded up early with my sugar free drinks and got a great spot near the front of the parade route. I decided I would walk around a bit and next thing I knew I had walked the entire parade route. I mean the whole thing. When I went the last time I never wandered farther than the closest restroom. I saw alot of folks I knew and they all told me they couldn't believe how much I had changed since they last saw me. I had a blast got sunburned and am payong for it now but would do it again in a minute. Just goes to show that change is a goooooooooooooooood thing. Just had to share my moment.

Tara, you look beautiful and healthy! Congrats! Keep up the good work. TraciL
