Road Rage in a Minivan

Today I had to go to the Springs and found that the red corvette's, the killer Bimmers and the awesome Ford Mustang's were not the vehicles to look out for when driving. It was the minivan drivers that had the worst driving habits. Those soccer mom's from the burbs and frustrated father's that couldn't have that cool sports car cause they knocked up their wives so many times they could create their own baseball team were the ones that were weaving in and out of traffic like they were trying to make a basket. Speeding down the highway at 85 miles an hour I was left behind like I was standing still by a minimum of four minivans. Now, I drive a minivan and they must have thought, as they were crawling up my ass like a hemorrhoid, that I was one of "their" kind. Instead I moved to the next lane and let them pass. I figured that they could clear out all the cops ahead of me.

There was one minivan in particular that definitely took the crazy cake. This white Ford minivan came up behind me and rode me like Seabiscuit. I tried to move to another lane but this ditsy driver followed me over. I sped up just a little but it wasn't enough for the NASCAR wanna be. I moved over again to the third lane, this seemed to work. As the van sped past me, I turned to see who my nemesis was. It was a woman that looked to be in her early 40's yakking on the phone and attempting to put on mascara at the same time!

I was disgusted!!!!!

Aauugghh!!! This makeup menace makes all women drivers look bad. Driving down the highway like a Cruella DeVille and trying to cover that weather beatin' bag on her face was just the icing on my cake for the days drama. I made it to my destination alive and ready to kiss the parking lot stripes in thanks that the Goddess in her infinite wisdom did not take me to that big shopping mall in the sky. By the time I made it home I was ready to relinquish my driver's license and just work from home instead of risking a heinous death on the highway!

Until next time...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
