Well the boys are going to try and pull one off on home ice tonight. I do hope they succeed. All I can do is wait and see.

 

GO PENS!

I’ve been thinking about the past a lot lately and can’t help but remember a certain girl that I miss dearly. She was so athletic and actually enjoyed exercising. She liked it so much that at one point in time she seriously considered becoming a trainer or going to work as an aerobics instructor. She was very aware of what she ate but at the same time she allowed herself the occasional treat.

 

One of my favorite memories of her was when she was at her sister’s place with her Mom and her sister’s then fiancé. They were getting ready for her sister’s bridal shower that day. She hadn’t had much to eat prior because she knew that she would indulge a little more on the yummy goodies at the shower and didn’t want to over do it on calories. As it happens her sister’s fiancé was eating Chunky Monkey ice cream. She asked for one bite of the ice cream, being ever so disciplined, but after a few more bites her sister’s fiancé offered her the rest of the ice cream which really only consisted of three more bites. She accepted the ice cream and then later on that day restricted what she ate, walking around with her hand to her belly saying she was so full because of the ice cream she ate earlier that day.

 

I would often see her with her hand on her stomach like that. She always claimed it was because she was either starving or so full that she had to ease her belly with a gentle rub of her hand. But I know that secretly she did that because she loved the way that her stomach felt underneath her shirts. She couldn’t believe how small and flat her belly had gotten and she was eager to get it even smaller.

 

Her favorite thing became buying baby doll t-shirts with quirky sayings on them. Wherever she wore them she would constantly get nice comments on them. I must admit that she looked darn cute in those shirts. I remember quite clearly a time when she went to her bf’s cabin for a weekend trip and she was looking adorable in a hot pink shirt that said, “Everybody loves a cowgirl” and cute little jean shorts to match. When her bf saw her he took her into his arms hugged and kissed her and said, “You look hot!” He was right she did look hot.

 

It’s funny thinking about that girl now. She was always working towards getting healthy and being in shape. I wish she had realized that she was well on her way to getting there. But all she saw was more weight that needed to be lost and a fat stomach that wasn’t as fat as she thought it was.

 

Even with that being said she was still a happy girl. I’ve been thinking about that girl and missing her terribly recently. Hopefully, following the same steps as before I’ll be seeing her in the mirror again in no time.

Last Saturday My Prince and I made an offer on this cute little house we found. The process of trying to write up an offer took us four hours to do (yes you read that right). Unfortunately, on Sunday the sellers' made a counter offer and made it clear that it would be their final offer. Well, since their counter offer was pretty much the same amount as they were selling the house for we refused their offer and walked away. So now the quest of trying to find that perfect house is still on. But at least we gained experience on how this process goes.

 

My beloved Penguins have won their second game in this series Sunday night so now we go to game three! It's SO exciting I can barely stand it!!!

 

That's it for now.

I've read the Fat Cyclist blog for quite a while now. When I read this I knew I had to do something. Here are the details:

 

Dear Readers of Fatcyclist.com,

This last week has been truly tragic learning of the down turn of Suzan’s illness. As I read these comments left by all you good people, the over all theme is the same. “What can we do for Elden, Susan and their kids?” I decided it was time to stop wondering and time to start doing. I set up a bank account in Elden’s name at a local bank here in Utah. It is linked to pay pal. The pay pal account is winsusannelson@gmail.com . If you don’t have a pay pal account you can also donate by going to my business’s website http://www.kennysphoto.com and clicking on the link in the middle of the page, where you can donate with the credit card of your choice. Please know that all funds collected will go directly to this bank account and after a two month period will be given to Elden, Susan and Family. Elden is unaware of this account, until now, of course. I’m not sure how he will react to this comment, but if he removes it, I’m going to continue to put it back on his blog and I invite you as fatcyclist readers to also put this on your own respective blogs. I truly believe that we bless our own lives, when we help others, so I hope that Elden will allow us to help him through this very trying time in his life. He truly has touched each one of us, through his writing and his friendship.
Respectfully yours,
Kenny

 

Thanks!
