Bad Day, I Think I'll Go Eat Worms

Or not! I decided to focus on the positive and use some of the awards that have been collecting out there in cybersphere. Thanks to Pam @ The Rest of the Journey and Karen @ Waisting Time for the Beautiful Blogger award. So wonderfully sweet of them. You should read their blogs. They are super inspiring.

Pam has been trying to lose weight for a while, but then got pregnant. I hope she doesn't mind my talking about it, but she lost her little baby before it could survive. She is back to struggling with her health, and could use as much encouragement as we can give her!

Karen is so intelligent. She's introspective and an excellent writer. I feel better every single time I read her. She always has some way to spin her thoughts into an uplifting achievable medium.

I received this award before, so please check out the POST to see my referrals!

Funky 5 Meme!!!

Traci @ Traci's Treasures gave me the Funky 5 Meme Funky 5 Meme It's a take from Glee where you try to get out of your funk by switching it up a little.

Where were you 5 years ago?
Beansprout was 4 months old. I was managing a dorm for girls. Beansprout was refluxing a nightmare and had unveiled his stick-like genetics. He started out at ten pounds, but quickly grew into it. Also, the dorm girls were starting to drive me crazy.

* Set up a nonprofit comprehensive Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Social Health clinic for women everywhere. Free to the poorest, but allowing them to use their talents to 'pay back' into the network.

So here's the 5 I'm tagging: I loved Traci's idea so I picked the last 5 people who commented on my blog.

• Jenn @ Watch My Butt Shrink
  Jenn is pregnant with her first boy! She has two princesses at home. She is caring, and I got to meet her in person! She gets up at 5:10 in the am and tucks tail to the gym. *awesome*
• Nona @ 55 Kgs Nona is living in London! Sigh. So exotic. One of her rewards is to go to Paris for the weekend. Really. Sign me up! She is trying to get healthy by walking the streets instead of taking the bus since her elliptical is broken.
• Deep Fried Fruit I love her. She has a funny take on just about everything, yet gets me thinking about many important questions. She says that now that she's forty, she feels like a deep fried fruit. Is it good for you or not? Is it mostly good...or not? Read her post about a unique storage system for women on the go! Sure to make you laugh.
• Shannon @ Superwoman in Spirit She finished her journey as FabFattieShan and is now Superwoman in Spirit. Kudos to her! She is often supporting a wonderful cause, and is just a wonderful caring person.
• Lisa @ No More Diet Drama
  She is amazing and honest. She is trying to achieve a balanced weight management that doesn't cause her to go crazy over her scale. They have a very dramatic relationship. Reminiscent of a soap opera, and she's sick of it!

These are great people to have on your lists!
