Once again, another successful party has come and went. Once again Chris and Sianna scored big time in the money/gift department. I did make too much food though … oh well … makes for good leftovers!
I do have to apologize to Ghost on behalf of my friends. They got a piece of my mind over the weekend. For one, they came to me to bitch about something I had no control over. When I asked them if they wrote to Ghost about their opinions, all 4 said no. Instead, and I’m not trying to make an excuse for what my part is in this, taking how I was feeling at the time I heard the messages and I immediately went online and said what I said. For one, what was said to me was not meant for everyone to read, and yet I advertised it on my site … for this I apologize for.
I am a bit confused though …
For someone who speaks his mind and makes no apologies for … even welcomes comments or even a debate
on a topic … you sure got defensive yourself Ghost. I totally agree with you when you say to go elsewhere
if you don’t like what you see. This year will make 5 years that I will know Ghost and I have always
respected his opinions … I may not agree with some of them, but all in all, I respect him because he tells it
like it is. What I don’t like is when he makes idiotic comments like it’s a punishment if he ends up with a fat
chick for the rest of his life. I also don’t agree with him when he says fat people are lazy and are fat because they
don’t exercise. At my thinnest, I was still considered a little overweight. But you know what? I was benching
170 lbs., I was running at least 10 miles a day along with doing at least 45 minutes of aerobics 6 times a week.
I was still considered overweight because I was not wearing a size 4 (I was a size 6 at the time). Sure, if you’re
lazy and don’t exercise, you’ll get fat. A lot of it has to do with genetics as well. All my life I had to work extra
harder to reach my goals when it came to weight management. I was diagnosed with inactive thyroids at an
early age. With most of the medical problems I had, especially in the last 10 years, I couldn’t take my thyroid
medications because of the other things I had to take. It has taken me a long time to feel happy about myself
in my now size 9. My exercise routine has decreased, only because I’m pregnant. But as soon as my doctor
lets me, I will step it up a bit. As I see it, if someone doesn’t want to be with me because society thinks I’m fat,
then it’s
THEIR loss.
On a much lighter note … I’ve already started to plan our Spring Break vacation. As I mentioned before, we decided
to go to the island of Kaua’i. We’ll be staying at the
Radisson Kaua’i Beach Resort. So far, we’re going to go
up to
Waimea Canyon Lookout … it’s been called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific as well as the Little Grand Canyon.
I’m still debating if we’ll take the
Fern Grotto boat tour. The tour takes you to the wettest spot on the Earth. On
the boat ride they make everyone get up and do the hula … that always cracks me up to watch the tourist. Of course
we’ll have to take in a Luau. There are several other things I want the kids to experience. Neither of them has been to
this island. The last time John and I have been there was back in ’92 right after
Hurricane Iniki. This will probably be
the last trip I make in a long time.
It’s that time again … you got it … naptime …
Enjoy the rest of the week!
