Venagence is Mine Says the DS :-)
Some of you may remember my post last year about my embarrassing experience with the exit row on a flight to Miami. Well, to make a long story short, the seat belt did not fit, and the stewardess threatened to make me move if I couldn't snap it. Seatbelt extenders are not allowed in the exit row because it is a safety hazard. So after much sucking in and uncomfortable squeezing, I somehow managed to make the trip. Admittedly, the belt never really snapped completely. I held my arm over it to conceal it. I just could not endure the embarrassment of having them announce, "hey can somebody switch seats so this fat chick can get out of the exit row, and we can get this plane of the ground?"
This past weekend I flew from Atlanta to Houston, TX for a long weekend with my sweetie. And yes, your DS Diva sat in the exit row with plenty of room to spare. No extender needed. I crossed my legs, sat sideways. I woulda laid down and spread eagle if that business man were not seated beside me. I figured why take this skinny thing overboard. We don't need to flaunt it do we?
I guess we can count that as my wow moment of the week. Honestly I think I have a wow moment ever morning when I wake up and my feet hit the floor and they don't ache from still being swollen the day before. Or is my daily wow moment using the restroom at work and not having to use the handicapped stall because I can't maneuver around in the normal one. Or is it wiping myself in the restroom without having to be a contortionist to reach around to my fat ass???
My life is just filled with wow moments now. And, it's those little ones that truly make all the pain and sacrifices I've endured with the DS so very worth it.
p.s.
Lyss, you asked for some inspiration and photos today. This post is for you girl. Keep your head up. This is worth the wait.

Hey,
I have been so busy with school. I went last night to the Northside Hospital Support group. I have not been there in years. Saw some old timers like me, it was great!
I will try to make it to the Christmas Party but I am waiting for more info on where, when and all. I have not noticed anything new posted. I will keep looking.
My support group meetings are the 3rd Thursday, so try to stop by sometime ok.
Hugs,
Ginger

It is gonna be at a private residence. Personal e-vites will be sent to everyone who would like to atttend. She is not putting her addr on the board for security concerns understandably. Everything we put on OH is open for the world to view...
The e-vites should go out sometime in the upcoming weeks, but keep the 11th open.
We decided to do a house party to keep expenses down and to have the freedom to eat, drink, hang out and have fun in a more relaxed environment.
I hope this way more people can come.
