I AM...



…the biggest loser.


Sorry to break it to you lads and lasses but I have reason to believe I have surged into the lead in the weight loss category of the biggest loser contest and I’m one hundred and fifty percent sure you will not be able to match my numbers between now and June 7th.

Right before I left home I stepped onto our scale, which we keep in the garage, and I weighed a mere ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN POUNDS! It truly is a family reunion miracle and I want to thank everyone who has made this moment possible:

my children and children-in-law just for being such special people

my sisters, especially Nicea, for having the foresight to start a life-saving contest and allowing me to be a part of it

my husband for eating more than his share of the drumsticks

my many, many, MANY friends

my nieces and nephews for their genuine love and support during this incredibly emotional time

my parents for their tremendous contribution to the gene pool

Hold on a sec…Greg just walked in.

“Hey wifey, did I mention I ran over the scale again?”

Crap.

I so totally LOVE a family reunion miracle!

Hubby ran over the scale? So we don't get to keep all the thanks you generously effused at us before he came in and burst your bubble?

Yeah, crap is right.

WV: shboat - it's either a really quiet ship or a boatload of ship. (You thought *ship* was gonna be some other word, didn't you.)

LOVE IT! I was so in need of a smile today. For a sec. I was a little depressed. how I would love to be 119 again. Huh. Not in this life- well, at least not until I'm 90 and frail. Cute story anyway. Maybe Greg can run over my scale!
