Something You Might Not Know

I have a nose ring. I was on my way to the grocery store tonight and thought to myself (after having worn my nose ring today), "I'll bet a lot of my bloggy friends don't know I have a nose ring." After all, it is really tiny and I don't wear it all the time. It might not even show in a picture unless it was really close up. I left it on Amy's table the other day. She was grossed out. I was just amazed that she found it. Sometimes I wear it just to shock people. Ok - maybe not to shock them, but just give them a little surprise. You know - throw a little curve ball. It's good to keep people on their toes. Like on the first day of leading a Bible study or something.

Also, something else you probably don't know. I'm back on Weight Watchers. Blech, blech, blech and double blech. I'm not even joking you - this is like the 5th time. The first time I lost 20 lbs. Then I went back up 10 and have stayed there forever. But I don't want to be back up there so I joined with my new next door neighbor who is tiny but has gained 10 lbs in the last year since she got married - freaked her out a little bit. Here's the problem - I'm just so hungry all the time!! And I refuse to eat fake food. In fact, I felt so angry when I went to the first meeting and I looked around at all the sincerely overweight people and thought about the fact that they probably got where they are by eating fake food and here they were learning how to replace their old fake food with new, low point fake food. I wanted to invite them all to Jazzercise. In all honesty, I'm pretty much paying them to weigh me every week. It keeps me accountable and balances all the yummy *real* treats I like to eat. It also keeps me from eating too much of all the *real* food I like to eat. I'm all about keepin' it real. But, I lost 6 lbs the first week so I felt good even though part of me sometimes wonders if it's worth it. I told myself I would be happy with 2 - and I would have been - but I was stoked with 6. Here's to another 2 this week. I can't believe how much will power I've had. It's totally unlike me but I get a little compulsive about it sometimes. Like now, it's like 9:45 and I'm going to go work out 'cause I need a few extra points. But really, that's not a bad way to live necessarily. Ok.... I'm rambling..

I feel like I should add some pictures. Here are some. They really have nothing to do with anything I just wrote about.

Us.

Us with Great Grandma and Grandpa Steelhammer.

A house on the side of the freeway about 45 minutes south of my house.
I want it. I covet it every time we drive by.
You do not even know how much skill it took for me to get this picture as we were driving by at 70 mph.
