Scale Back Alabama

Thursday, January 28th I was talked into signing up and weighing in for the Scale Back Alabama challenge. Laura had a team of four, I was going to enter as an individual. Turns out individuals couldn't enter, only teams of four. I hooked up with another teamless couple and Laura called her cousin to make a fourth.

The first week I lost nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G, nothing. I tried so hard! Laura and I walked every day it was not raining and ate everything right but no results. So I decided to buy a pill.

I chose Quick Trim Burn and Cleanse. A box with two bottles in it. One Iso-Burn, the other Iso-Cleanse. The instructions said to take two doses of each at particular times of the day. Burn fat by day and cleanse by night the box boasted.

About six hours after the third dose I started becoming CLEANSEd. I crapped my insides out for an hour and a half or so and when I was done my FAT a$$ was BURNing.

So, I guess it worked? Though I expected the burn part to work a little differently. I did lose a couple of pounds over night.

Good luck to all you Alabamians scaling back!

ROLL TIDE, ROLL!

Thanks for the pic, Jeff.

Missing my little guys

Happy New year to every one!

Oh look! I finally finished painting the play loft and it's great.






Now, what to play?

It's not to late for a last minute Christmas pic!

Laura and Dave

Merry Christmas to all my friends!

Pucker cried :(

SNOW!

It doesn't take much to get me excited. This is probably all we'll see this season.

The Reception (Wedding Part IV)

And the reception . . .

My parents and my sister

My husband and my father-in-law

Good friends!

Cindy, my friend for 30 years and five months and counting. you just don't find friends like these every day.

Laura and Dave with his parents

This was a neat idea. Instead of a guest book, Laura found this picture frame at Bed Bath and Beyond for everybody to sign. It will get much more attention in the future than a traditional guest book. Did I mention there was nothing traditional about Laura?

Every picture of me is of my butt.

Here's that cute little guy again.

Why was the cake not white?

What's that look?

That's better.

Somebody suggested we put Warren and Parker in the limo. I can't wait to find out who got pics of that. My batteries died.

The Ceremony (Wedding Part III)

There we are lined up. Finally time to march up the path, and it was a steep path in high heals!




It's not always easy growing up with two dads but they are nice for helping you up the side of a mountain in a long dress.

Here we are

One can't resist a handsome little ring bearer who makes faces all through the ceremony. Oh, and one that prefers to stand with the pretty smelling girls.

What a cutie!

The sand thing is supposed to be a Native American tradition

Eww, the kiss

Presenting Mr. and Mrs.!

Lovely Montesano Mountain in Huntsville AL

Final Preparations (Wedding part II)

Here they are, almost ready for the big moment.

I was taking pictures of the photographer

Papa comes to visit

Now there were lady bugs all over the carriage house where the girls dressed. We were told though not intentionally placed there, the ladybugs signified good luck so were not to be looked upon as pests. But is it good luck for the little ring bearer to roll around in gravel while dressed in his black tuxedo before the ceremony? I don't know.

Hair and make up time! (Wedding part I)

Laura and her brides maids went out to have hair and make up done the morning of the wedding. I shall refrain from posting the really silly shots but these are kind of cute too.
