.....Well I like to think I'm a fair person. I try to see both sides of the argument. But if it involves my family or me personally then it's every man or women for themselves..... LOL

I love the fall season. Mild temps and the colors.

.....I've been married to a guy that lets me ...... be ~ME~. We have a daughter. She has 4 children. I call them 'The Kidders'. My grandmother called her grandkids - kidders. And since she passed away, I feel like I should keep up the tradition. She had another saying. If someone asked " How are you? " She would reply, " Fair to middlin' ". So I'm saying that now.

.....My husband and I have motorcycles. Both are Honda's. His is a purple 650cc Shadow. And mine is a school bus yellow 250cc Rebel.

.....I'm overweight. The medical profession says that anyone that is 100 pounds over their 'normal' weight is morbidly obese. ....I hit my "BOTTOM" when I stepped on my home scale and saw how much I weighed. I cried. Never thought I would weigh that much. That's why I joined TOPS -- ((~Take Off Pounds Sensibly~)). It's like a support group. Someone to call upon when your will power has gotten up an left you. They will try to help you make healthier and wiser choices. Like maybe going for a walk instead. They give information to help you lose weight. Plus there is a weekly weigh-in. Just to keep you honest. You can't beg, bargain or lie to the scale. My story on my weight loss is this, on Feb. 05, 2007 I stepped on my home scale. When I saw how much I weighed, I cried. That's when I remembered I used to belong to TOPS, when I was a teenager. So I found a local chapter and I went to a meeting and joined. That was on Feb. 27, 2007. As of Sept. 2, 2008 I've lost 48 pounds. And in those 17 months, I've lost 2.5 pounds a month.
