welcoming the light...

day 109:
merry winter solstice blogdom!
did ya know that today signifies the reversal of longer nights & shorter days?
so i ask you…
are you welcoming the light or saying goodbye to the darkness?

i am saying hello to the light!
i am *light*er after all… heh!

in all seriousness – i have given the darkness too much significance in my life – it is time to focus on the light!
so hello light – how the fuck are ya?

okay this is where i gotta show off my new goodies – so hang on…

i wanna take a second to thank jennifer from
finding my way in texas -- i won her very first giveaway a couple of weeks back & i received my winnings in the mail yesterday & oh good golly are they amazing.
my daughter lovesssss the hat – i mean it’s a ladybug & absolutely beautifully handmade – what is not to love?
the notebook cover (thanks for the bigger one jenn), necklace & headband are just too freakin’ cute & i am so happy to have won them – you rock balls jennifer!
please take a sec to check out her blog & etsy shop – where you can purchase any of these goodies among others!

and as if one cool package wasn’t enough – i got another from one of my oldest & dearest friends unexpectedly. inside it was this…
20+ years later & she still gets me – even from across the country!
it is perfect & i love it!
thanks marie xxoo!

well kiddos – i got things to do, peeps to see & places to go – oddly enough.
i am such a homebody so going out
(tonight is our yule celebration & then we are venturing out for a bit) even for a little while is a HUGE deal for me – and yeah – i am super stoked!
merry yule & i will say adios with the early posting of…

misadventures of a chunky goddess

we gotta winner & other tidbits

day 66:
put your hands in the air my bloggah’s!
i have so much to say tonight – so consider yourselves warned…


but first & foremost -- the winner of my very 1st giveaway –
-

super duper congrats to rachel @
because i have to. “i’m not weird, i’m gifted!
she rocks, her blog rocks, and she is one of my fave twitter peeps! go congrat her & check out all that is her awesomeness

i want to thank every single one of you who entered & how much i wish you all could win!

i also cannot express my gratitude& appreciation enough for all the amazing comments you awesome peeps left me yesterday. seriously i am touched & next to my crazy-ass family, you guys are the best cheering section ever !

completing the 30 day shred was a big personal hurdle for me & i am so glad i could share my experience here with you all.
i have literally been walking on air with this shit-eating grin on my face since yesterday…
so much so that today while out shopping with my mom & my daughter i decided to do the unthinkable & try on some jeans in a bonafide dressing room…
dum dum dummmmmm…
i brough a junior size 13 jeans in & those fuckers were too freakin’ big!
*jumps for joy*
so i tried on a size 11 & they were too tight…
pffffft!
so apparently i reside in jean limbo ( which i plan on breaking free of asap).
not quite a size 13 & not quite a size 11.
and yes, i can fit into misses 12’s but because i have a boyish figure (no defined waist & narrow hips with a long inseam – seriously i do & it suckeths!) they tend to fit me like *mom pants*. and while i am indeed a mom – ummm no thanks, i will pass on the *mom pants*.


it’s all good in the hood – i will get there; no worries!
plus i didn't mind my reflection in that ginormous ass mirror with the gawd awful flourescent lights for the first time in too long to remember!


as promised – i did start ripped in 30 today – so i am carrying on. be sure to check the tab above – i will be posting daily again!



day one – don’t I still look happy as fuck?!?!



I am stoked to be continuing on with jillian (you know we are tight like that) & striving to be fit & strong!

so as you can see – life is trudging along & lookin’ up every single day.
i feel hopeful & in control of where i want to be & most importantly of whom i wanna be & that makes me happier than anything really…

peace, l♥ve & margaritas bloggy peeps!
xxoo
