In a word

It's been an exciting couple of days. I got a grin a mile wide.

Speaking of distance, I bought my tickets for Disneyworld. We are really going. Honestly and truly going to go...dang me. I went, tonight, to Barnes and Noble (kid in a candy store) and bought a book on the sites and such of Orlando. Very cool. Granted, it isn't loaded with all the incredible information of a Fodor's or Frommer's, but this one has pictures to with the info. And I just have to see what they are talking about. Of course, I found a couple "other" books I just couldn't live without. I love informative type reading. One of the ones I got was on Digital Photography. OOooo...the stuff this book can help me do.

Speaking of photography, I am drooling over a new camera. I almost purchased one tonight I found at Costco online. Complete kit with a $100 coupon to boot. But I got to the screen to enter my payment info, and I backed out. I don't feel like it is right for me to purchase it right now. I like being financially stable for once in my life. I like having a substantial reserve. I don't want to blow it or get carried away with fullfilling certain desires. (not to mention the guilt factor of thinking of those in need) The camera, is the newest of Kodaks. Manual and auto focus and zoom. 8MP's and Oh! what it can do. Ugh. It is like having a dSLR without the complexity and cost. It is also much smaller than any dSLR (and doesn't have all the "parts n'lens') which makes it nice to travel with. Ya know....like to Disneyworld or something...I am still thinking about it.

Speaking of size, the weight loss thing is going swimmingly! I literally jumped for joy at my Weight Watchers meeting tonight. Why didn't I do this years ago? Why? I don't really have an issue too much with temptation. Normally I can walk away. No amount of momentary satisfaction can tempt me from one thing I have always wanted. To be thin. And ya know? I have never...ever...been thin. Not even a healthy thin. I always just figured I was a fuller figured kinda girl. I was chubby when I was little and now? well now it's just more of the same. I don't want to hear anymore how "She has such a pretty face but..." But now? I am thinking this is happening. I am going to be there, and by the end of this year for sure!

*tickled*

Speaking of time, it's time for me to go to bed...

Thanks Frenzied!

I am so excited about this trip. I've always wanted to do something like this with her. It has been a lot of years of "sucking it up" to just get by. I feel really lucky. And I get to have my Mom come with us too...how cool is that?
