TGIF my friends!!

The BBQ went great yesterday. ! I don't know why any of us even tried to get work done yesterday because it was kind of impossible with all the fun going on. I stuck to my guns and only ate what I planned on. Vegas/Arizona baby!!

I wore my dress and after seeing what I looked like in I went to the gym last night. My arms. That is all I am gong to say. Everyone said I looked so cute and adorable and you could really see how skinny I was getting but still. I need to work on my arms for sure. So I am going to up the gym time after that. I have less then 2 months until vacation my friends.

I have pictures to post of the dress I promise!

Needless to say I slept like a rock after hitting the gym last night. Which is always awesome. Who doesn't like a good nights sleep?

My boss is on vacation for 2 weeks. Guess who is in charge of the office? That would be me. Not exactly thrilled about it. I have enough on my plate thanks.

TGIF and all that!!

Mish Mosh

Yesterday made 4 weeks, one month, that I gave up diet soda. Easier then I thought. I've only had a couple days were I really wanted a soda. And both of them were when it was really hot out and I was really thirsty. But I didn't give in. I had water instead. Considering I've been LIVING on that stuff for as long as I can remember I really thought it was going to be hard. I still drink my coffee in the morning because I can't give up that stuff. I love it too much.

I have to pick up my allergy medication tonight. First off, I lost my ATM card. I have no idea where it is. The last time I saw it was Friday night in the house. And then when I went to look for it Sunday morning? Gone. So who the hell knows where it is. I have NEVER lost it before. So I'm kicking myself in the ass. So I haven't stopped to get my medication yet. Instead I took Benadryl the past two nights. Which knocks me right on my ass. And leaves me waking up like a total zombie. Ugh. So I have to go to the bank on my lunch and get this mess fixed with my ATM card. And take out money so I can get my medication.

SPEAKING of my allergies. I haven't had many flare ups since I starting eating clean (knock on wood). I have angioedema and believe me, it can get pretty ugly. I made an appointment with my allergiest because I haven't seen him in over a year. I need to get some blood work done, too. I also think that my weight loss helps with the flare ups, too. Because when I was thinner I didn't seem to have too many issues but once I started gaining weight I starting having more issues. We'll see what he says though when I go see him in a few weeks.

Work was busy yesterday. Turns out our 800 numbers were down all weekend. Which isn't good when you have oxygen and vent patients that depend on you for their LIVES! HELLO?! We couldn't make any outgoing calls for the first 4 hours either. Which isn't a big deal to me. ha ha. But in all seriousness it's not cool when your patients can't get through to you on the weekend in an emergency, you know? I hope nothing bad happened to our patients. I always have such big plans to get so much done and it never happens. But that was Monday. Hopefully today will be better.

We're supposed to have our yearly BBQ at work on Thursday and of course, it's going to rain. I am planning on wearing my dress, too. Eek!! I'm super excited about it. Although I have NEVER worn a dress to work. Not in the 9 1/2 years I've worked there.

I've decided to weigh this week. It's a week earlier then planned but I'm cool with that.

I wish I was going to Pocono this weekend! It's so close yet so far away!!

Time to get ready for work!!

The one where I buy a dress!!

Last night the hubby and I went out to do a little shopping for vacation. I need clothes people. I've lost enough weight at this point so that everything I own is too big. Yes this is awesome but it costs a lot of money to buy new work clothes. And non work clothes. So basically I've just been wearing things that are too big for me.Which I don't really care about but it looks kind of stupid. And you know what happens when you wear clothes that are too big for you, right?

Anyway everyone kept telling me go to Kohl's, so I did. And got 2 pants, a top and a dress. A FREAKING DRESS! Now these are supposed to be for Vegas and Arizona in 2 months so I kind of hid them away but the dress? I want to wear it now. I don't wear dresses. They make me feel exposed. But it's so pretty. I may wear it tomorrow. We'll see how I'm feeling.

I felt after that I was good until my next paycheck because the dress was not cheap. Hubby got a couple tops for his business so we spent more money then I thought. We did go to Target (I heart you Target) but I forgot even why I wanted to go there until I got home. Guess I need to go back.

My sister texted me yesterday and told me her dog has cancer. I am so upset. I love that dog to death. She is beyond upset as well. He is like her child. I haven't heard from her since so that makes me nervous. But she said she was going to spend some time with him because she doesn't have the money to do much else then that. I will be with her when she has to let him go though.

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging as much. I mean to but then I just get home and don't get the chance. I've been immersed in Nascar stuff again. Sort of hit me hard and it's been awhile. So I'm enjoying that (even though Hubby hates it). But I hit the gym yesterday and today. So that is good. I am hoping to up the gym time with less then 2 months until vacation. We shall see how that goes. But if you follow me on twitter you know I am still alive and well. Or at least alive.

What is in a name?

I need your help my friends. I am ready to change the name of my blog. Because it is no longer about a size to me. It is about more then that. It is about being healthy and happy. So...what should I call my blog? Obviously the blogger url is going to stay the same but what should I call my blog? I don't feel Operation Size 8 is right for me anymore. I'd LOVE to hear any suggestions you may have. Or maybe I should have a contest? What do you all think?

Today my friends makes 2 months until we leave for Vegas. Which means 2 months from today I will be in Vegas. I have to get my ass in gear. Seriously.

I was reading Lynn's blog and she is recommitting herself to her weight loss journey and I feel I need to do the same.

Tomorrow night we're going grocery shopping and I'm going in there with a big old grocery list full of healthy and clean foods. I haven't been cooking much. I've been eating whatever is in the house. It's healthy but it's not what I was doing before. I'm counting my points but not getting in enough fruits and veggies. I am going to go through my Clean Eating magazines and look for some new recipes and see what I can find. I am bored with my eats and I think that is part of my problem, too.
And everyone knows I am not getting in the exercise I need to be getting in. I'm fighting myself for some reason. I want to workout but I am not doing it.

I can do this!!

I saw my doctor today for the first time since April. And you know what she said to me? "You have lost a s**t load of weight". I kid you not. I love her. She's so awesome. I tried not to look at what their scale said either. I'm not paying attention to it. No weigh in until August 8th people!! No weigh in. Remember. No month without a scale. It doesn't run my life!!

Oh and guess what I found at Whole Foods?




I am pretty glad I didn't buy more then one because it was so freaking good! Holy cow! They had all the new flavors but I only got the cookie dough one. And I got an awesome salad. My doctor's office is right next to Whole Foods. Score!!

I can't believe Vegas is 2 months away! WOW!!

I need to get it together people. TOGETHER!! And I know I can. And I will. Watch me.

Another quick update for you...

Another quick update to say I'm alive and I promise a better update soon!!

I did hit the gym again yesterday!!

And I am really enjoying not worrying about the scale.

I've been getting a lot of compliments about my weight loss. Today we had a Birthday party for my boss and I didn't eat anything that I hadn't planned on. No pizza, cake, or diet soda.

Today makes 3 weeks diet soda free! Easier then I thought that is for sure!!

Happy week my blogger friends and I promise a better update soon!!

Running off

Just a quick post to let you know I'm here. I was busy the past couple of nights and didn't have time for an update. I'm heading out in a bit with the hubby so this won't be too big of a post.

Thursday night I managed a half ass run but it was hot. So it wasn't much. Only a little over 2 miles. But I do love the new sneakers.

This morning I hit the gym which felt great. I did 60 minutes on the elliptical and was so happy to do that. Tomorrow I plan on going to the gym for cardio AND weights before going to work for some overtime. I usually do that on Saturday but I have to do much going on today and didn't feel like squeezing it all in today.

I am also packing a lunch to take out with me today. How is that for dedication? I don't want to be tempted to anything bad while I'm out today.

No weigh in today as I'm still on the one month with no scale plan. We'll see how that goes. And Monday makes 3 weeks soda free! Can't believe it. I don't miss it at all!!

Fast food is evil

The big rage in Connecticut today is the new Sonic that opened up here. I really don't see what the big deal is. It's another fast food restaurant. Big whoop. Who cares. I don't get it. But it's all over the news and it's all over the radio. I mean it's really a BIG DEAL.

The one thing that has really stuck with me all day is the guy on the radio who said he took the day off from work so he could go to the grand opening. Of a fast food restaurant. Are you KIDDING ME?!

My friends, we all know we are living in a world where we have a obesity epidemic. I don't like to push it or preach it on people. But it makes me SICK that someone would actually do this. I mean it's your right to do this, take the day off from work if you must, but the restaurant is not going anywhere. It's going to be there tomorrow. It's going to be there Saturday. It's going to be there a week from today. It just opened. I mean yes, it's the first Sonic in Connecticut but get real.

So many Americans (and other countries) are overweight and it's a problem. We live in a time where it's so easy to eat fast food. Why?! Why do you have to take time off work to go to a fast food restaurant?

Take it from me. Someone who ate fast food 3 times a day for nearly 3 years. And what did that get me? THIS is what it got me:


287 pounds. This picture was taken in 1998. My heaviest recorded weight. I was miserable. I started losing weight not too soon after this but I hated myself. It took a long time before I started liking how I looked. There were not a lot of pictures of me between 1998-2002.

I am not perfect. I slipped up and I gained back weight. I went from 150 pounds to 260.8 pounds between 2005-2008. I understand that I have issues with food. I know it's going to be a lifelong battle and I may never have 100% control of it. But I will never ever go back to eating that way. Watching the move "Supersize Me" made sure of that. And I don't want to teach my children to eat that way. I want them to eat the healthy way.

Right now I am loving the way I am eating. I love eating clean and I don't miss the processed food. I don't miss the diet soda. Since I started eating clean at the end of February my body has just "let go" of the weight and it's unreal. To go from 242 to 207 is amazing. I want to eat this way for the rest of my life.

And yes, I understand you can eat decently at some fast food places. I'm not saying it's all horrible food. But I stay way from it. I haven't stepped foot in one of those places in years. I can't even remember. I DID get a coffee from McDonald's a few months ago. I admit that.

Enough of my rant. I have been saving that bad boy up all day.

Sticky notes? Really?

I'm not going to lie. Today sucked. I mean really sucked. Going back to work was super hard. I KNEW it was going to be hard. I slept terribly and that threw everything off. I had planned to hit the gym before work but that didn't happen. So I thought I would use the treadmill when I got home. WRONG! I was so into it last week. But just taking a few days off last week just threw everything out of whack.

I have to get it back under control again.

My eating is back under control. That I am super proud of. I was so ready for that. And it has now been 15 days since I gave up diet soda. I don't even miss it. Everyone at work was surprised when I told them today. Like it's some big deal. First processed food at the end of February and now diet soda. What's next?

So work-it started when I walked in the door. Really? A sticky note? On my desk? When I'm out of the office for 3 days? Then I have 116 emails. When I'm out of the office. For 3 days. Then the coffee machine is broken. I mean come on. Who can work like that? Ha. I relaxed a little but still. Some of these emails should have gone to other people as soon as they got my out of office reply but they never did. UGH!

Enough. No more work.

And I am still up for my one month no weigh in plan. I am not weighing myself again until August 8th. We'll see how that goes I guess.

The new running sneakers I ordered on Wednesday night at 9pm? Came on Thursday (the next day). They were on my front porch at 12:30pm. Can you believe it? I haven't tried them for running yet but I did take them for a spin around the campground on Friday. They are super comfy. I heart them.

So Vegas can't get here fast enough. I broke the news to work. Not sure what they are going to do without me for 11 days but that is not my problem. I get 5 weeks vacation time and I'm using it.

Boo-ya!!

Vegas baby! VEGAS!!

It's back to reality for me. We had a great time on our camping trip but I have to say I'm ready to get back to eating clean and healthy again. My stomach and body will thank me for sure. Although all things considered I didn't eat TOO much. I ate 2 meals a day (which isn't normal for me) when I ate and even though it wasn't that great it wasn't that much when I did eat.

We had great weather except for one day when it rained and drizzled. Camping in a tent when it rains? Not a lot of fun. But even though it was still hot and humid here it wasn't too bad at the campground because we were on the lake.

We had a campfire every night (of course). We stayed up late and slept in a little bit most every morning. And Sunday was the best day. Our friends came up with their 3 kids and we just had a great time. We went swimming and I even put on my bathing suit. OMG! Right?!

But I'm not going to lie. I'm glad to be home. I'm not an outdoors kind of girl. I am really not a camping type of girl. It's my husband that loves it and I do it because he likes to do it. So when we go to Vegas and Arizona in September that will be my thing. Where I have my own shower and bathroom and a bed that isn't on the ground I'll be happy.

Which means we booked our trip to Vegas. I can't tell you how excited I am. Tomorrow I begin the workouts and try to drop 15 pounds by then September 21st, which is when we leave for Vegas. Our 10 year wedding anniversary is September 22nd. I can't believe it. 10 years!! We'll stay in Vegas for a couple days and then head down to Arizona where my Mom is and stay there until October 5th. Work is so going to be thrilled when I request 2 weeks off. Ba ha ha ha!!

I have a million blogs to catch up on and a ton of laundry to do. Glad to be home. But I tweeted my heart out, which you know if you follow me on twitter!! Kisses!!

80.2 pounds again

After my run last night I put the garage door opener in the pocket of my pants. I did laundry last night.
You can see where this is going, right? This morning when I opened the washing machine I was less then thrilled to find the garage door opener staring me in the face.

NOT COOL MAN!!

And the hubby was not happy when I woke him up to tell it was in there either. That being said no run for me this morning. However I did head over to the gym for my workout. The gym. A place I haven't been to since I think May?

First off do you people not work?! It was 10am and PACKED?! I am on vacation what about all of you?! Ha. I worked out for an hour. 45 minutes on the elliptical and 15 minutes of weights. I am not one who fights for equipment so once it started to get really busy I was out of there.

Besides we have to pack for camping and get out of here.

My weigh in this morning before we head off on our little trip? 206.8 pounds. Which means I am down 2.6 pounds. And I am officially down 80.2 pounds again. That's pretty huge my friends. I feel really good right now.

And as for my measurements I lost 0.5 off my chest, 1.5 off my waist, 0.5 off my thighs, 0.5 off my arms, 1.5 off my hips and nothing off my neck since May. Not too bad. I'm most happy with my waist and hips.

I hope to get back to the gym again. I really enjoyed the workout this morning.

I will update when I get back on Monday, although I will tweet from the campsite. And we will be coming home to check on the cats, but I am not bringing my laptop. I am packing my book (I haven't finished "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest" yet. I kept it for this trip), some notebooks to write, the camera, etc. I can't wait to do NOTHING for a few days.

Happy mini vacation to me!! Muah!!

I am free!!

I am lucky to have the people I have in my life.

First I wasn't going to run today. I was tired. I was hot. And I just wasn't feeling it. Then I talked to my friend Lane who is running right now. I didn't know he was running and he told me yesterday he has been running for a couple weeks. We laughed about dying of heat stroke, among other things. He makes me laugh so hard sometimes I could pee myself. He should be a stand up comedian I swear. He is one of the funniest guys I know. So when we talked today (he works in a separate office but we talk and email constantly about stuff that isn't work) we talked about running first. I told him how I wasn't going to do it. And he said "Excuses Sarah, excuses. What is that? Yesterday you were so all excited and today you are just going to blow it off? I'm going to beat you!"

THEN my friend Jo came visit me who I haven't seen since the end of January. Now Jo and I used to work together when she worked park time at my office but she doesn't work there anymore. She lost over 100 pounds and I'm sure I've mentioned her before. When she hugged me the first thing out of her mouth was "There is a lot less of you to hug! You are so small now!" Which of course made me feel really good.

I ran when I got home today. I did 2.21 miles because I was just really pushing it but I did SOMETHING. And I was going to rest today so there. I plan to hit it before we leave for our trip tomorrow anyway. And I burned 303 calories. Here I am in the garage after my run...
Pretty sweaty and red. But check me out in my tank top, huh? And you can kind of see my collarbone.

Tonight I order my new sneakers. My feet and shins are going to thank me for them when I get back at it on Monday when we come home. We're supposed to bring the bikes with us camping. And we're coming back everyday to check on the cats since we're only 15 minutes away.

I AM FREE FROM WORK UNTIL TUESDAY!!!!!

And we are booking our Arizona/Vegas trip tonight! HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so going to be under 200 by then people! I can feel it!!

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

It hit 100 here today

It hit 100 degrees here today.

Let me let that sink in....

And when I got home from work I put on my workout clothes, my running shoes, my HRM, my fitbit, grabbed my cell phone (for music), 2 water bottles and went out to the garage to hit the treadmill for a run.

Remind you it hit 100 degrees here today.

By the way I have to put on a lot of stuff before I workout. Seriously.

But yes. I ran today. In this heat. And it was awesome. It was tough, but I enjoyed it. And I burned 654 calories. And did 4.24 miles. It was amazing. I was pretty soaked after but I thought it would be worse. I totally need new sneakers that is for sure. My feet are warning me of that tonight. Hope to order some tomorrow night. I actually was super excited all day at work to get home and hit the treadmill. This was a first for me in awhile and I'm hoping it continues.

I have decided, I think, after giving it some thought, after Thursday's weigh in (since we are going away for a few days) I am not going to get on the scale for a month. Just to see how that goes for me. I am going to weigh in, take my measurements and then deal with it for a month. And then see what happens.

By the way this weather? I am not a huge fan. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I don't have A.C. in my car. Which normally doesn't bother me because I work 5 minutes from home. But my doctor is 30 minutes away. Not going to be fun. I don't mind the heat it's the humidity that gets me.

And hubby was awesome and picked up grilled chicken salads because he knew I wasn't going to want to cook. That was a great relief because I was not going to turn on the stove. Oh no. And then we watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" on Netflix. Which was fantastic.

I know I am gong to sleep like a baby tonight. I can feel it.

Going to catch up on your blogs and then go to bed. I am exhausted already.

I'm a sugar doll?

Thank you to the lovely Suzi over at Ok, Just One More Beer for honoring me with this award.

If you have never seen or read her blog, I suggest you do so. Go ahead. I'm not going anywhere. She totally inspires me to keep going and reach for my goals.

In order to fulfill my requirements for this award I have to do the following:
  • Thank the recipient....Thank you, sweetie. I appreciate so much.
  • Link back to the giver...Which I just did above.
  • Reveal 10 things about me..
1. My middle name is actually Sundae. I hated it when I was growing up and only a few friends that it was my middle name. I was embarrassed because it was different and I was the "fat kid" so who wants to have a food for a middle name? When I graduated high school I had Sarah S. put on my diploma so when they called out my name no one would hear it. My mother told me I would regret it someday. Which I do. I love my middle name now and love that it is so unique.

2. When I was 2 years old my parents let me pick out a cat who I named Fern after the little girl in "Charlotte's Web". She was the most amazing cat I ever had. She was 20 going on 21 when she died in 1998.

3. I have been an Aunt since I was almost 5 years old. I wanted a niece in the worst way but got a nephew instead. Growing up that nephew and I were extremely close, like brother and sister. To this day I am grateful for him and love him to death. He will be 30 in September.

4. I have only one niece but consider myself to have 2. A friend of ours has as daughter that I love to pieces and have a hard time believing she will be 13 in October. She will always be my Munchkin no matter what. I held her the day she was born and fell in love with her.

5. My sister Ellen is my best friend in the world. She can make me laugh like no one else can. And she understands me like no else can. I consider myself lucky to have a relationship like that with my sister.

6. I have 3 tattoos and want more. I always wanted one because my Dad had one.

7. I grew up around motorcycles and I am not afraid of them at all. My Dad had a shop until I was 17 years old and when my husband told me he wanted to buy one I had no problems with it at all.

8.The only sport I watch and care about is Nascar. My husband hates it and it's a big issue between us. We fight over it a lot.

9. I have had size 10 feet since I was 8 years old. My mother thought I was going to end up with huge feet because of it. I had to got specials stores to find shoes that would fit me and sometimes they were not the most attractive shoes for kids. Luckily these days bigger feet are more common for woman and I have met a lot of woman who have the same size or bigger feet but when I was a kid it was really hard for me. Especially since my sisters had small feet.

10. I love animals. I can't watch a movie with animals getting hurt. I can't watch any commercial with sick animals or hurt animals in them. I cried through the entire "March of the Penguins" movie and will never watch it again. I just love animals too much. And even though I know that it's "the circle of life" I just can't handle it. It breaks my heart.

I'm going to share this award with these lovelies:

The Road to NYC
Truly.Into.Fitness
A Cake For A Wife
Muffin Fixation

Treadmill again

I hit the treadmill again this morning. 4.24 miles and 554 calories burned. I was a pretty hot sweaty mess after that. It is hot here in Connecticut. And my garage was like a sauna at 9:30am this morning. But it felt pretty awesome.

I am sad that the 3 day weekend is coming to an end. But I only have to work 2 days this week and then the hubby and I are off to go camping. We will only be a few minutes away from the house so we can come back and check on the kitties and such. We are bringing our bikes. And I am bringing my bathing suit. What? I know. Not sure if I will actually use it or not. But we'll see.

Tonight hubby is grilling up some organic turkey burgers from Whole Foods. Yum!! Can't wait. I'm going to make up some sweet potato fries, too.

I also need to get some new running shoes. Mine are way old. Like 2 years old. I found a nice pair on Zappos that I want that I am going to order Wednesday. I can't wait!!

I think we're going to watch some "Intervention" tonight. I am so behind on that show.

Happy Fourth of July!

"Eclipse" was amazing!! It was the best movie so far in the "Twilight" saga. And my sister had me busting a gut half the time making her comments. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE the series (I got her into it) but we can make each other laugh like no one else. That is what best friends do, right? So if you haven't seen it yet and you are into the series, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Um hello?!

I am so totally Team Edward. Still. I want a vampire of my own. Although I love Bill from "True Blood", too.

Since I gave soda 6 days ago (woohoo) I bought a water at the movies. Yet they had these cups with Edward on them (and Jacob but whatever) and I wanted one but I didn't want soda. So my sista bought this giant soda so I could have the cup afterward. Isn't she the best? I brought my own healthy snacks in to eat. That is just how I roll.

I think we are going to go see the Leonardo DiCaprio movie when it comes out. It looks good. And I love him. Not like that. He's my favorite actor.

This morning I hit the treadmill! Holla! I did 4.18 miles and burned off 526 calories in an hour. Woohoo!! It's hot here today. And it was pretty humid out in my garage. But I was really enjoying myself this morning. I actually realized I hadn't changed the weight on my HRM since I got it at Christmas. So I did that yesterday and the weight had said 237. Yeah, so that was kind of a big deal, right? I mean almost a 30 pound difference right there.

Now that I have showered I am enjoying my iced coffee and eaten my morning oatmeal. I feel good today.

Happy Fourth of July!! Have a safe day.

Surprise!!

Well I ended up losing 0.2 pounds! How about that? I am happy with it. I will be weighing in on Thursday this week because I will be away Friday-Monday and no scale will be in sight!!

My leg is still bothering me so I didn't go to the gym. However when I got home I had a nice surprise waiting for me. My new Bob Harper workout DVD's were here. And MAN! Are they hard! My legs are still shaking. I really enjoyed that workout. And my leg didn't bother me while I was doing them.

Tonight is "Eclipse" night!! Woot!

My love for Nascar has totally been renewed. And I am so happy about that. Thank you Reed Sorenson. Thank you.

Off to get ready for the movies. I promise a much better update soon!!

Friday, July 2, 2010

Whatever, leg!!

My leg? Seriously hates me today. I don't know what I did to it yesterday but it hurts like nobodies business. So I didn't hit the treadmill tonight. I'm sitting here on the couch and my leg hurts. I'm not even moving.

I am, however, hoping to go the gym tomorrow before I go to work for some overtime.

I am so caught up for work it's not even funny. I mean I still have plenty of work to do but it feels good to not be so behind I'm losing my mind.

So glad to have a 3 day weekend.

"Eclipse" tomorrow night. Team Edward!!

I am kind of really getting back into Nascar again. Thanks a lot, Reed Sorenson. It's all your fault.

I may gain tomorrow. I'm okay with that. I deserve it. My eats were not so good on Monday night.

I gave up diet soda. It's about it. I haven't had any since Monday. And I don't miss it.

Happy weekend!!

Happy July 1st

I started July off right. I hit the treadmill when I got home from work for 45 minutes. THEN I did 20 minutes of weights. With a few crunches thrown in for good luck. Hey-it's a start right? It felt good. Who knows what could become of this?

At work today I plowed through a huge pile of paperwork. That felt good, too. Tomorrow I plan to go through my 1001 emails.

Saturday night I'm going to see "Eclipse". Yes-I am one of those people if you didn't know that before. And TEAM EDWARD. I like them pale, sparkly and DEAD if you didn't know that either.

Tonight the hubby and I watched the fireworks from our driveway. I love that we don't even have to leave the house to watch them. They were fun and awesome as always.

Looking forward to a 3 day weekend. I puffy heart short weeks.

And Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends.
