...the key to life

 

I am choosing happiness as the key to life .... despite all the ups and downs ... I will choose to do what is right and abide by my conscience despite likes or dislikes ... sometimes one has to step out of the comfortable zone and take a stand ... I am standing....

It is hump-day YAY ... I have been struggling with some sort of weird bug or maybe a reaction to a flu shot but since Friday I have been under the weather and dragging ... still pressing on while feeling like mierda ... this morning I feel a bit better and hope to shake it off...

This is my empowerment collage this week ....  it is cold ... I am rocking my lace fronts and extensions ... and jackets and slacks.... This building is FREEZING ... you'd think they would turn the AC off no? SIGH.... 

My before and now 5 years and 7 months post RNY and I will be celebrating my monthly surgivesary on 10/5/2012 in Atlanta at the OH Conference WOOT!!!! my son wants to tag along but it is not happening .... I need a ME vacay this time LOL....


 

Thank you for allowing me to share Snippets of my journey....

 ...forget humpday ... why not add another day? like this here SOMEDAY???


Someday I will have on a farm in the tropics with a house full of ferrets .... an animal shelter/pet center and rescue mission .... a second chance vocational/lifeskills house for displaced youth ... a... a... a.... a.... I am loving SOMEDAY ,,,,

For now I am dealing with my crazy cuddly fuzzy furry baby ferret Pandora ... should have named her Cujo... LOL...

 

 Pandora is the perfect ferret name -- and oh, so fitting.  

OMG Val, I got my money's worth with this one LOL... she is a handful...

You look great as always.  Today has been long and tiring with only 2 hours of sleep to get by on and it is Doug's birthday.  We had cake yesterday, D**** cream cake, I had a tiny slice and got really really sick, like painfully sick in my stomach sick.  I hate food.  I begged my co-worker all last week to bring my birthday cake early now I don't even want it.  She said you are getting it anyway tomorrow.  Ugghhhh chocolate cake is the devil.  Hopefully it kills me.  That would be dying HAPPY!

 Best wishes on your early Birthday!!! How thoughtful of your friend to make your wish come true... enjoy a sliver of your cake and cut it up and share it with everyone else ... we put stuff on the 'food for all' table in the common area in here and it walks LOL ... A lot of the gals bring stuff from home that they just do not want there ... too bad half the time it is stuff that we shouldn't be having either ... I can walk right by it and not even care ... I am so not fond of dumping YIKES and I am a big time dumper so I know better..... Moderation sista ... moderation ... Yeah right ... sometimes it is easier said than done ... I had my encounter with one too many raisins the other day ... it was hell to pay LOL...

I hope you enjoy your cake and have a fun day.  Happy Belated Birthday wishes to Doug!!! How are the fur babies?

 Thank you and my babies are crazy hence the reason I am up at 2am on my birthday dayoff, they were barking and wanted to play. lol  As for my cakes, omg there were three, two different types of chocolate cake and chocolate dipped cake balls.  All to die for literally.  But I did pretty good and didn't really make myself get sick, which was a miracle.  I hoarded the cake in my office and cut and shared it with everyone.  We have two floors and don't always share nicely between the two, but I did.  I got beautiful flowers from my co-workers and a lovely piece of pottery from our new marketing director.  My old boss was in charge of my card and flowers and he picked the cutest card with a golden retriever puppy on it.  Very sweet.  Doug said I didn't get you anything but I will be your slave for the day.  Can we say breakfast in bed!!!!!! lol We were gonna go to the Big E today but its supposed to rain.  Oh well I think my slave wants to take me shopping instead.  Momma needs a new coat.  lol

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Happiness is the key to life!! 
Love your ever positive attitude.

Hope you feel better soon!

Feeling a lot better today and less blah ....and so happy it is THURSDAY! I want a lazy weekend... Thanks you so much for your encouragement and support always!!!!
