GAME 7 & My Belated Birthday Gift...
Ok, so OBVIOUSLY I'm BEYOND EXCITED about Game 7 tonight, HOWEVER, as luck would have it, it also happens to fall on the SAME NIGHT as the following:
Sunday, October 19 at 7:30 pm
An Evening with Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood is a fully improvised evening of comedy and mayhem. If you are looking for a night out that'll keep you constantly laughing, and in need of a diaper, then this is the show for you!
The show is all about audience participation. Everything in the show is based on audience suggestions and many audience members are brought up on stage to be part of the craziness. The entire evening is completely improvised, and best of all, the show is never the same twice.
Cousin Steve bought these tickets for me for my birthday this year (back in August) and it's FINALLY NOW TIME TO GO & LAUGH OUR ASSES OFF, only... I CAN'T BE AT TWO PLACES AT ONCE! Sadly, although I'll have my LUCKY HAT on, my only participation in Game 7 will be through text messages from my brother!

"Yes Ruby, just be quiet please as Uncle Will is still asleep on the couch, ok?"
Ruby enters & climbs up onto my bed & snuggles next to me.
"Momma," she places her hands on either side of my face and kisses my forehead, "I wuv you wiff much wuv..."
Me: (melting) Aww sweetie, I love YOU with much love, too!
Ruby: "Momma, do I haf morning breaff?"
Me: (giggling) "I dunno, do you?"
Ruby: (breathing heavily in my general direction) "Smeww it Momma, DO I?"
Me: (laughing now) "Yes Ruby, I think you do have morning breath. How about Momma? Do I have morning breath too?"
Ruby: (sniffing my mouth) "EWWWWW! MOMMA! GO BRUSH YOUR TEEF WITE NOW! THAT'S GWOSSSS!"

CAN YOU EVEN?!@#$%^&^%$#@!>?
I honestly look at this picture & don't remember when I was so sad that I let myself get this way. I know it happened, obviously, but HOLY CHRIST!
I'm now down 125 lbs & am LOVING LIFE as a HEALTHY MOMMA!
It's funny, I go out now & wherever I am, I find myself looking at the bigger women I may come across & secretly thanking God that I will NEVER be like them again. Ever.
It's awful, I know, because I WAS ONE OF THEM! I just remember how sad & lonely & defeated I felt... and fat jokes are NEVER OK, even now at my svelt size 14 (& still dropping) I REFUSE to crack a fat joke, beause I remember how much I hated them.
I may be happy to NOT be big anymore but that doesn't mean I will ever forget what it's like to walk in those shoes... because that's impossible.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!
-Amy

Three Years Ago Today...
...not only was my beautiful little girl turning 1 year old in China, but I received the most amazing phone call that changed my life forever! My referral call came & shortly thereafter, three little photos of the most stunning little girl popped up on my computer screen & I knew my life would never be the same! I WAS A MOM! HERE WAS MY SWEET LITTLE GIRL, HAND PICKED FOR ME BY GOD HIMSELF, I have never breathed the same since.
Here it was, my little girl's special day and I'M THE ONE RECEIVING THE BEST PRESENT EVER! Thank you Ruby, thank you for brightening up my world more than any rainbow ever could... how happy I am to call myself your Momma. *BIG BIRTHDAY HUGS*
Love,
-Mom
In honor of this special occasion & before the droves of relatives & friends descend upon this house for cupcakes & ice cream & festivities, I think it only fitting to share the following pictures to commemorate this fantabulous day! HAVE A GREAT RUBY'S BIRTHDAY EVERYONE!
