On Saturday, I had the opportunity to meet the lovely and gracious Marla. We met at the local watering hole, The Nickel Plate. Marla is just as nice and down-to-earth and slyly humorous as she appears on her blog. We covered a lot of ground in the couple hours we chatted and we ate some great chili queso. Not that I've met chili queso that I didn't like, but this came with festive red, white, and blue chips with lots of salt, and what's not to like about that? I must say, though, the Nickel Plate must have left their wineglasses in the dryer too long, because they were more like the size of shot glasses. They were tiny. Then again, my wine glasses at home are big because I often get too lazy to go to the fridge for refills.
Anyway.
I was thrilled to meet someone who lives so close to me that I have a lot in common with and have the potential to hang out with and do girly things.
True Confession: That cute black smock top type shirt I have on? Well, I was cruising the clearance racks at Old Navy and thought it was tres chic. It also hides a multitude of sins, like the twenty-plus pounds I've put on since my stop smoking attempt. Why, dear and gentle readers, does that shirt hide a multitude of sins?
Because it's a maternity shirt. Which I didn't realize until I put it on at home. I think that's why I look like I have three chins in the picture.
NO, I'M NOT PREGNANT. Sheesh.
That shirt was darling and no one could ever guess it was a maternity top.
Next time we go somewhere with LARGE wineglasses :P

Lisa, you're waaay to hard on yourself. You look great. I can identify with the wineglass thing, too. I have one that's about 3 "proper" wineglasses worth. I look at it as an energy saver. Just doing my part to combat global warming.
Far be it from me to crack open the fridge and waste precious energy more often than absoloutly neccessary! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Lisa....Janey gained like 40+ lbs and she's still growing...doctor says her lungs sound great (only using inhaler once a day instead of twice)....but...she has to work at losing a pound a day.... which is good for me too... i'm FINALLY on my way back down to where i started, its a slow trek tho.... slow and steady wins the race...does that mean i can keep it off once i get there? i figure if i can get it off you can (much easier being younger and with that "high" metabolism you, randy, and mom seem to have)... as for me..and grandma's bat wings...? those will never go away! randy quit smoking too....and was really bummed that he's gotten up to a size 34 waist... i DO NOT feel sorry for him... actually told him now i could give him the jeans i grew out of!
