2012 has been an interesting year.

Met my husband to be on the January Blues Cruise we fell in love.

We moved in together on Valentine's Day.

Went to Sturgis in August and then flew to Nicaragua and bought a house.

We got married in September.

Sold my house here in the states and closed on the house in SJdS.

We had a blast on the October Blues Cruise.

We are purging and packing for our final move to Nicaragua.

Good bye to the USA, I have had enough...

2013 is going to be a glorious year!

Christmas 2011

HMMMM...this has been a big year for me. I have adopted the GOD of the Old Testament, and he has performed for me in the fashion of dishing out revenge and showering the chosen with kindness.

March 2011 my fat ass weighed in for my annual checkup at 166 pounds...I didn't look overweight to my friends and co-workers, however my blood work and doctor and I knew otherwise.  I left that appointment disgusted and vowed, I would be 135 by March 2012...

Well folks I weighed in at 136 today on Christmas.

What I started in mid-March was a new eating lifestyle based on an article I read in the Real Simple January 2011 magazine, on 30 Super Foods. When I started the new eating lifestyle, I also even entered the "Biggest Loser" contest at work with co-workers, with a jack pot of $650.00 payout July 4th.

July 4th, I won; weighing in at that time at 144.

While on my quest of better living and purging bad choices, I  also lost an 180 pound boyfriend of 16 years...well maybe "lost" isn't the proper word...my surprise visit to him in Roatan Honduras, to celebrate a mile stone, turned into a reality check of his hypocritical nature and my final unwillingness to be a second rate "friend"...

The "release" was quite awesome, when I "let go" it wasn't painful, and in fact, the peace that came with it was refreshing, it felt as a huge weight was lifted. I know it sounds so cliche', however it really felt like that. 

I have never considered myself religious, however lately the joy I have been dealing with, might be what most people call GOD.  I like this new found Joy, and if it is GOD, I like it, even if I came in late at 52 yo.

I want this Joy/GOD to reign over me, and the revengeful God, to take care of dishing out Karma/revenge to those who deserve it.

Since that October day, many good things have happened to me, even my next door neighbor even mentioned the series of "good things" that have suddenly sprung up and or has transpired lately...I  guess "good things" do happen to good people, maybe, just maybe there is a GOD, and I have come into his favor. 

ANYHOW....The peace that washed over me, while standing in the Roatan Honduras airport, prior to boarding the plane, was as if, I was going to leave all the pain and turmoil on the island, for I also knew I would never go there to dive again.  I decided there were somethings that would never going to travel with me anymore. 

I boarded that plane, made every critical plan during the 2 1/2 hour flight that would allow me to successfully purge the 16 year relationship.

Trimming excess baggage in more ways than one, has been easy this year.

THIS Christmas is my FIRST alone, in 32 years, except I do have my 3 great little dogs...Magnolia Blossom, Azalea Blossom and Daisy Blossom, we will enjoy some TV and good eats, and make plans for 2012.

Christmas 2011 8:15 am CT, summed up...

I am skinny, healthy, and at peace being alone.  I wonder today about all the people who are chasing these similar goals and have no peace.

Off and on today I will do some of my favorite reading at on the internet... while enjoying some adult beverages...

I post all over the internet, and today decided, it is about damn time I get my first official BLOG post, posted...

OTHER than my first post, on a quiet Christmas day...I wish everyone well today, be safe in your travels and mingling, share your peace and happiness with loved ones.
