Hey family !!!

Im glad the weekend is upon us, hope you are too.
I thought I would share a bit of humorous inspiration with y'all !!!     

Many of you may or may not be aware that I moved from country-ville to the big city.  I had been in Jersey ( yeah thats country to me )  for close to 9yrs.  So I basically had become accustomed to whizing my car in and out of parking with ease whenever I would go anywhere. That even includes  Walmart. 

I cant say I've had the same experience here in NY.  The po-po absolutely must love giving me tickets for every little thing. As a matter of fact,  my car was ticketed and towed for  Memorial Day weekend of all things.  While I was supposed to be at the picnic eating an all beef kosher hotdog ( protein first baby )  I was forking over $185 at the impound. Sugar, honey iced tea with a dash of lemon.

Needless to say when I get legal, authorized good parking....I stakes claim and dibs on that sucker promptly.  Well the other night my family and I stayed out pretty late.  And  when we arrived on the block as usual there wasnt any parking.  We went round and round only to find one small teeny weeeny spot near a pile of bags that were set out for garbage collection.  the very next day.  First I wasnt sure that my car could fit.......but then I said girl do what you got to make it fit and that I did......I reversed and forwarded more times than a little and turned left, turned right, and pretty much got that bad boy in the tight spot.  There was only one problem afterwards.......I couldnt get out my car.....all that stinky dirty trash was on the drivers side and I couldnt open my door.    

So I was like girlfriend think quick......first I was gonna move but then that meant I could be out there all night long looking for parking.. no way Jose.  So I did the next best thing.  I unbuckled my seat belt,  gave my daughter and sweetie all of my possessions -asked them to step out the car,  pushed the passengers side chair flat back as if it were a bed and began to swing my thick legs over the middle console of my car.........I tell you if anybody was looking out the window they would have seen my whole behind in the windshield.  My sweetie and daughter were cracking up........I was all over the interior of that  car trying to get out via the passengers side. 

When I got out I was so-so-soooooooooo glad that I had lost 108 lbs to date cause I would have never been able to do that pre-surgery.  I got out and did a little James Brown dance in the street.  My daughter now thinks that Im officially nuts.....but  least she knows that when her mom is in a tight spot that I can literally squeeze my way in and out of anything.  

Enjoy your weekend !!!!

 

In life,  and especially on this journey there are sure to be days when you falter and give in.......just remember to never give up.

Girl it felt good to work it out that time around.

Sure is nice to know that my weightloss gets me a whole lot more than a few whistles and cat calls 

I bet if a thief tried to steal me purse anytime soon, I would chase him down and slay him before he got the corner.

Im on some super woman stuff these days ( brushing my shoulders off ) 

Nice to see a pic with the name Lady Pom Pom

Priceless .........too cute of a story

Thats what I was thinking girly....I hope it gives someone inspiration.

We need to know about all the advantages to losing this weight.

Its sooooo much more than a size in the  store or number on the scale.

I got my car fresh out of surgery and there was a time when I had to adjust my steering wheel and move my seat waaaaay back just so I can drive.  Now people ask me " how do you fit in that small car "  and Im like quite easily thanks 

Before its all over I should be as petite as God planned for me. 

Glad the story amused you !
