When I look in the mirror I do not like what I see. I see someone who has a lot of weight to lose. I see someone whose face has more and more wrinkles every day, yet, I still get pimples. How is that fair? I see someone who has crazy curls, who needs a haircut and who needs to color up some grays. I see a jutting chin and a bulb nose and no symmetry to my face.
When I look in the mirror I see someone who doesn’t look like my father or my mother. Where did I come from? Who knows? My mother always thought it was funny to say I was the “milkman’s” because I didn’t resemble my brothers and sisters. Now that we are adults, we all resemble each other…so my fear of not having the same parents is moot.
When I look in the mirror I see a 45 year old woman who has to lose a lot of weight, has more and more wrinkles every day, has pimples on occasion, has crazy curls, who needs a haircut, who needs to color up some grays, who has a jutting chin and a bulb nose and no symmetry to the face, but, if I don’t look in the mirror, I’m none of those things.

Theme Thursday - Bread
One of my favorite groups growing up was David Gates and Bread - such a mellow (no pun intended!) group and they had a lot of top songs but my favorite, especially now that I have a daughter, is simply called "Daughter." So this is dedicated to my daughter, Nicole. :)
Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have to run.
Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style,
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned.
Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way,
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay.
Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait,
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry ,
He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away.
Although that was probably one not too many of you have heard, I bet you have heard this one:

More meme - taken from Canadian Cal
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Susan Dey is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
2. Where was your first kiss?
3rd grade, Memorial School, Jody Becker.
3. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? If yes, why?
Yep, mostly in jest. Once seriously when I tried to make John wake up - little did I know he was having a seizure.
4. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? When?
Nope. I did try out for a high school musical back in the day but was assigned to make up. That tells a lot.
5. What is the first thing you notice about the other sex?
Eyes and smile.
6. What really turns you off?
Men who think they are all that and a bag of chips. I hate pompous asses.
7. What is your biggest mistake?
My biggest mistake turned out to be one of my proudest - I got pregnant in my teens and had my now 25 year old son and raised him on my own until Wings and I got married when my son was 11.
8. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
I've thought of it - but have never acted on anything suicidal.
9. Say something totally random about yourself.
I have a façade that very few people see beyond.
10. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
I actually won 2nd place in a Buffy look-a-like contest. And for you young'uns: Not Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Buffy from Family Affair. LOL
11. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows?
Oh definitely - I actually watched Spongebob today!
12. Are you comfortable with your height?
I am definitely too short.
13. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?
He did a scavenger hunt and the last "find" was him, proposing!
14. When do you know it's love?
When no matter what kind of a bitch I am, Joe hasn't left me yet.
15. What's something that really annoys you?
The way people don't acknowledge personal space anymore. And I don't know if it's a culture thing or what not; but stop frickin' breathing down my neck in line. And good lord, don't even go to the side of me in line...I will rip your ever loving heart out.

7. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Who do you pick?

Make Me Laugh. And just have on it really really funny people!

21.You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?
My Dad dying and finding John - I will never fully recover.

I'd have to hope that my brothers were at the same house because if they were they would think they were hallucinating and I would laugh hysterically!
25. The constant absorption of magical moonbeams mixed with the radioactive vegetables you consumed earlier has given you the ability to resurrect the dead famous-person of your choice. So which celebrity will you bring back to life?
Famous person? Hmmm...my Dad was on Candlepins for Cash - does that count as celebrity? If not, I'll go with Ted Kennedy - only because I would've liked to have seen him get his healthcare thing passed.
26. The Celestial Gates of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn’t think such a thing existed. Death appears.

End of Year Meme
Joe posted this so I'm going to answer the same questions!
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?

2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutsions and will you make more for 2010?
Well, I did lose 30 pounds and have gained back all but 9. So I lost weight - but gained weight - not where I wanted to be. Oh well, yes, I will try again. :)
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
One of my co-worker's gave birth to a little girl, Vivian.

Mortgage, car payment, monthly bills, stuff for kids for school, vacations (GOTTA have vacations!)
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
I am always excited, beyond words, for vacations. We always have a great time!
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?

a. happier or sadder? Happier
b. thinner or fatter? Thinner (and I use that term very loosely!!!)

35. What political issue stirred you the most?
Hmmm...not sure if it's a political issue or not, but when people bash Obama and it always references his color. Yeah, well he's half white too, people! He's an American - like the rest of us. So let him do his job.
36. Who did you miss?
Dad, Uncle John, Joe (but not any more for him!)
37. Who was the best new person you met?
Best? Hmmm...not sure but most frustrating has to be Jeffscape!

When someone starts ranting and raging after something you wrote on Facebook, simply delete what you wrote and then the offender is ranting on and on and on in reference to something that is no longer there and makes him look like an even bigger @$$hole than he already is!

Hmmm...not sure if it's a political issue or not, but when people bash Obama and it always references his color. Yeah, well he's half white too, people! He's an American - like the rest of us. So let him do his job.

Dad, Uncle John, Joe (but not any more for him!)

Best? Hmmm...not sure but most frustrating has to be Jeffscape!

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009:
When someone starts ranting and raging after something you wrote on Facebook, simply delete what you wrote and then the offender is ranting on and on and on in reference to something that is no longer there and makes him look like an even bigger @$$hole than he already is!
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Don't look back. Keep your head held high."
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and better 2010!
