Apparently I've been tagged...

Being very new to the blogging world, I wasn't quite sure what being tagged meant until now. But, hey, how fun to share random facts about myself that I'm sure you will all find very fascinating. So, here goes...

1. I have been madly in love with Gene Kelly since jr. high. (If you don't know who that is...SHAME on you.)

2. I HATE seafood.

3. I want to be a marriage counselor

4. My husband, John, and I got engaged after dating for a week and a half

5. I was in a Japanese commercial when I was about 12...it only aired in Japan so I never saw it.

6. I went to Theater School for the summers I was 15 and 16.

7. I love to shoot hoops when I'm stressed out...it relaxes me.

I don't follow 7 blogs yet but these people are now officially tagged:

Dawn
Lisa
John

Clothes shopping


Today, I thought I would go shopping...just a little something to brighten my mood. Well, instead of brightening my mood, it left me in a total funk for the rest of the day. I should have known. Don't ever go shopping for clothes when you have been trying and failing to diet for over a year with no results except the kind you don't want. That's right...I've gained about 20 lbs. in the past year instead of losing it. Is anyone else weary of this battle? Next time I will go shopping for something fun like cute stuff for my house.
Nope, Brittany, I haven't started South Beach yet because I am totally LAME! I keep finding reasons to put it off. Like John going out of town for two weeks and I can't do it without him...Waa, Waa, Waa. Sad story, huh? Well, I'm getting just about sick enough of not fitting into my clothes...My will to do something about it should kick in any day now.
I've been thinking about how much I want to be a good example for my kids when it comes to...well, everything...but right now, being healthy. I don't want them to struggle the way I have.

P.S. Clearly I am not a die-hard blogger, so don't anyone expect posts very often. There aren't enough hours in the day and most of the time other things have to come first.
