Socks

It's been a while since I've shared my socks with you. It's because it's flip-flop season! Last night I had my Girl Scout meeting and we decided to do something fun. We tie-dyed socks! We did this with permanent markers and alcohol. The girls had a blast and the socks came out sooooooo cool looking. See here are mine:

I love my crazy socks but I only wear them a few months of the year. I prefer my flip-flops. But I think these are the coolest socks I own now. All because I made them.

Socks & Health

#1: Socks! I'm wearing a new pair of socks today that I got at 50% off after Christmas sale. Aren't they cute?

#2: Health. In January 2007 I became a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. It took all of 2006 but I lost 50 lbs following their program. I never had a weight problem until I met Joe so I contribute my weight gain to him, wooing me with dinner out all the time. So I am proud to say I have kept those 50 lbs off for almost 2 years and have a personal goal of 10 less than my WW goal. When Halloween came, I ate and ate chocolate. Then Thanksgiving came, then Christmas goodies and now tomorrow is New Years Eve. All those yummy sweets have been just calling me to me "eat me! eat me!" And I listen so well.
I read that the average person gains 9 lbs from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I am not average. I am unique. I do not follow. I am my own. I'm ashamed to say according to my weight gain of 6 lbs from Thanksgiving to now, I am almost average. I just want to cry!! So before it gets worse and I bust out of my jeans I'm hopping back on my WW program to lose those dang 6 lbs and another 5 to reach my personal goal. I'm giving myself to lose a total of 11 lbs by March 30, 2009 which I think I will do way before then but at least it is a realistic, reachable goal. I've also started posting more regularly on my health blog. I've been told by many friends and family what an inspiration I am so I want to continue to do that. I'm here to help myself and I'm here to support you! So if you are struggling with your weight/health, check out my health blog for some tips.

Snowmen in Florida?

Yup it's true! There are snowmen in Florida....on my feet! LOL! Here are my newest socks. I won these from a game of Christmas Bingo at my best bud's Cookie Exchange Party. I almost forget how fun bingo can be! Check out the link to see a pic of us serious bingo players! (4 of us on the couch; I'm the one with the antlers one!)

Christmas Socks

I'm proudly wearing my newest Christmas socks today: candy canes! And yes my shoes are off and I'm at work. I love my job (to a point ;-)

And see the dangling candy canes on the ankle? Too cute!!


Happy Holidays!

Socks!

With all the political talk going on I decided to stay away from it on my blog. So today I'm focused on my socks! But before that I will say I haven't forgotten about my blog or my dear followers. Work has been busy which is cutting into my blog time. So here are today's socks. Just some colorful stripes and dots. Happy Wednesday!

Socks

What a great day it is! Who am I kidding? It's frickin cold!! I'd much rather be at home in my nice warm bed. Since I had to get up and come to work, I decided today was a great sock day. Here's today's socks. Have a wonderful day!

Socks

I like socks. Well, not all the time but mainly about 3 months out of the year. Being in FL I wear flip-flops most the time. If I had my way I'd go barefoot everywhere but then that wouldn't be too safe either. The weather here has finally started to cool off. The past few days it's been mid 60's when I leave for work. High's are mid 80's. It's great! Being a true Floridian (born & raised!) anything below 70 is cold to me. So that means it's hibernation time for my flip-flops and time for socks and closed toe shoes. I've started my sock season with a taste of Halloween. See:



I bought a new pair for Halloween that were ankle socks and they had a little bat attached to the back that dangles off but unfortunately my shoes were too tall in the back and the bats didn't fit. :-( So Sara took them. I have many Christmas socks that I am looking forward in wearing. I think I will make a series of sock posts just so I can display my cool-looking socks. So here's to a happy sock season!
