Photowhoring - my first!

Thank you everyone!  You're all great for my ego. 
@ MsPPPants - these ARE my new jeans.  They are a size 12 and I was just so excited that I could get in them.  But, YES, now that I have seen the picture, I have seen the light.  I will get some more jeans. 

@ Kerry - I'd love so say that I feel good - but the truth is that I don't think that I have felt "good" since before the surgery.  I have pains and issues that I am dealing with.  I have a HUGE hernia that needs to be operated on (hopefully within the next 6 months or so).  But hopefully these mystery pains will go away and I will feel as good as you look!

@ Shann - it's a Coach that I got at the outlet store a couple of months ago.

@ Julie - I'm originally from the Chicago suburbs - and it's still wierd to me that we don't have snow for Christmas.  This picture was taken at downtown Disney.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.  I love my DS and I love my fellow DSers, who give me so much advice and inspiration.

Linda, you are just as cute as a button, as you were before surgery, too!  I agree with Steve, love your smile.  I don't know your history, but pray that you will feel better in the near future!

Linda,

You look awesome and have a beautiful smile!  What a great looking family!  I am from the Tampa area as well but am originally from Ohio.  This is our second Christmas in FL and I still have a hard time getting past the decorated palm trees!

Wow Linda...look at you, you are a skinny little thing!  Congrats!

Linda--You look great!!  Hope to see you at the next Orlando DS gathering.  Happy Holidays to you and your family!
