Take a picture, already!!

So, again, I'm behind. Shocking, huh?? Get used to it b/c lately, I'm behind on everything!! Doesn't help that I've been hanging out with my parents all weekend and blogging is the last thing on my mind!!

I asked Kath if she wanted to be a guest blogger today but she declined. So, you get me.. again.

This weekend, I've had several reminders of why I'm having the surgery. We headed up to Flaggstaff and Sedona yesterday and had an awesome time, but there were those pesky reminders which will help with today's blogs!!!

#34 - I used to love getting my picture taken.. I always thought I was somewhat photogenic, however, since the weight has piled on, I dread getting in a picture. See examples below.. I can always find something wrong with my photo, whether it be my 3 chins, huge boobs, big belly, (I always ask to be photo'd boobs up, but sometimes it's not all about me.. :) ) greasy face, crooked smile, etc.. the list goes on.. here are a couple of shots from this weekend.. one is scary and the other one is somewhat decent..

I mean, look at those arms.. ick... plus my head looks about 10 times bigger than Timmy's!!!

I actually like this next one.. maybe b/c it's a little blurry and I'm looking shorter than Timmy, but in actuality, I'm just not standing on a rock!! :)

So, all that being said, I'd like to be able to be happy with random pictures and not have to view them all before they get posted on FB with my name attached with them!! :)

#33 - lucky #33!! I think I was 33 the last time I wore shorts.. which would make that about 5 years, actually I think it may have been closer to 29, but just go with me on this one.. I can't stand to see my chub legs in shorts.. I know that this is not just a chubby girl issue, but seriously, I'm dying of heat all the time in my capris, jeans and yoga pants!!

#32 - We went on the Pink Jeep tour in Sedona (total touristy thing to do, but soo fun too!) and there was another chubby person on the tour with us and I spent a good deal of time comparing myself to her.. "do I look that big" "are my legs that cottage cheesy"... blah, blah, blah.. I can't wait for the day when I'm just happy with me, and I don't have to do that "do I look like that" comparison..

#31 - I want a bike for my birthday! I don't want to constantly have to fill up the tires when I get said bike.. I got on one the other day and granted the tires were totally flat, but can you imagine what went through my mind when I got on and noticed that the tires went smooshing down?? Yeah, I hate that feeling!!

I promise to be back to regularity this week!! It's been awesome having my parents in town. They are so supportive and fun to be around! I'm a lucky girl.
