Time for a Quickie....

Time for a quickie on the lunch break!

Going to join IA & Shawn for a little TTUT.

You should too...

I am totally counting down the days until

HELL

tax season is over.

I have been doing great on my snacking and eating this year.

I am proud to announce, I will not be going up another size this year...

Like I have been every year for the past 3 years.

When I quit teaching I was a size 2-4ish....

Each year the middle has expanded.

Only the middle now... How odd am I...

My arms, legs and ass don't gain any inches.

I now struggle to wear my 10's now.

This weekend we went to the Heat-Thunder Basketball game.

TOTAL FUN!

We met some friends at Toby Keith's to eat and hung out in bricktown for a bit.

I totally figured out how to make people not notice my belly fat/muffin top....

Just let the girls hang out a bit!

oh don't you go all judgemental on me now....

It is Instant MAGIC!

Nobody notices the muffin top...

OR the circles embedded under the eyes thanks to tax season....

I totally got into the game and forgot to take more pics....

But yup... we were close.

ONE MORE THING....

On a Mission....

I am on a mission right now to help a local teen.

Well, local to where I grew up....

A television station in Oklahoma City gives away a "free ride" every year to a deserving teen.  It is a free car from a local dealership and a $25,000 college scholarship from a local bank.

Here is the link to the page for you to check it out....

I am asking all my bloggy friends to share however... facebook, blog or twitter...

But PLEASE go vote for Tyler Zander!

This young man lost a leg in a grain elevator accident, trying to save a coworker.... Here is his story from the Enid News & Eagle, written by Austin Prickett.

A full crowd was on hand Friday morning at Chisholm High School as Tyler Zander recalled Aug. 4, 2011 — a day that changed his life and that of another teen. Zander and Bryce Gannon both lost legs in a grain auger accident that day while working for Zaloudek Grain Co. in Kremlin. He presented his story and pictures to students, family and friends. Zander began the presentation by saying everyone seems to get the wrong idea about the accident.

“The lessons I have learned and the opportunities I have gained are so much more than a leg to me,” Zander said.

He said he remembers hearing Gannon yell out as he went into the auger, and after yelling to a co-worker to flip the emergency shut-off switch, Zander decided to help Gannon.“I just couldn’t stand there and watch,” Zander said. He then straddled the auger and began helping Gannon. Zander said he must have slipped in, because he soon felt himself pulled into the auger, too. The machinery was stopped, and paramedics and emergency responders were called in to the scene to extract the teens. Zander was stuck in the auger for an hour and 20 minutes. He said remembers seeing the bad expressions on the faces of emergency responders.

“That’s when I got calm,” Zander said. “I wasn’t worried. I kept thinking that I should be more worried.”As the emergency responders freed him, Zander described almost passing out from the pain. He was flown to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City and given a 50/50 chance of surviving the accident. Zander suffered a split pelvis, multiple infections and a tear in his bladder. “My trauma surgeon told me my split pelvis was the worst he had ever seen,” Zander said. Though Zander said he felt hopeless at times, he stuck to a motto he heard from a fellow amputee: One more thing, one more time.“I was told I would be in the hospital for a year, but after two and a half months, I came home,” he said. Zander, who had been told he would be in a wheelchair for an extended period of time, is walking with the aid of crutches. “It was a reawakening at 17 years old. I realized I wasn’t in control of everything,” Zander said. One of the things he takes the most joy from is meeting with fellow amputees and helping them with their problems.“If this didn’t happen, I would have been someone who found happiness in the wrong things,” Zander said. Prior to the presentation, the crowd sang to Zander in celebration of his 18th birthday, which was Friday.Zander ended the presentation on an upbeat note.

          “It’s not what you see,” he said, “it’s how you see it.”

You  learn what you are really made off...

Just thought I would stop in and say HI on my tiny little lunch break!

AND

Share a few things of course....

I LOVE my droid and would never think of using an iPhone...

I was always frustrated though about screen shots...

THEN, one night, on a casino run....

A friend told me how...

OF course, I had to inform my child...

Yup... that was a fail...

Score one for the phone.

During tax season sometimes things tend to get neglected...

like the nails...

YUCK!

I may or may not just slap another coat of paint over the chipping to get by....

BUT HEY...

That leaves time for this!

OMG!  I AM IN LOVE!

Don't dig the yellow lemonade...

But the PINK.

TO DIE FOR!

Plus they help calm the nerves after a stressful HOA meeting....

OH did I mention that?

You are now looking at one of the newest HOA board members in our hood.

Well, I start on April 1st.

Proving to be very trying already....

There always has to be ONE turd in the punch bowl...

Stalking your blogs...

I see many have become addicted to

Draw Something.

ANOTHER LOVE

and destresser...

When I first started playing...

Not many people I knew played.

So I chose to play random people.

I found out.... apparently... Kyle D. thinks I am a milf.

This made me smile...

and laugh

ALOT!
But I decided, that since he did not know the meaning between "your" and "you're"... it would never work out.

I love getting those words...

You know...

The ones like "PEE"

 OR

"bird"

LOVE IT!
