Day 16: Someone Who Inspires Me

My mom
She is such a wonderful person.
She is the most selfless, loving, kind, giving person I know.
If I could be even half as compassionate and giving as she is I would be happy!

This is my precious nephew Charlie one day after he was born.
I can't wait until I am holding one of my own.

Day 14: My Ipod

As I made reference to in an earlier post,
my ipod is not exactly normal.
I used to have some music on there,
maybe 10 songs,
but they got lost and I never bothered to replace them.

Instead of music, this is what I have:

That's it.
No kidding.
Three audio books that I listen to
over
and over
and over
and over
and over
You get the point.
I listen to Twilight like most people listen to music.
While I drive, workout, cook, clean...
Pretty much anything that I have to do alone. :D
Have I mentioned that I love Twilight?

Hmmm....
How have I changed?
Well, I hope I'm a few pounds lighter! :)
I hope my face doesn't look so chubby in pictures any more.

Ummm...
I am a homeowner now.
That's something big.

In some ways, I'm a much more in control of myself.
I am proud of how much weight I have been able to lose.
I am proud of being able to count calories and make sacrifices.
I am proud of how many of those changes have become permanent for me now.
I am also proud of how long I have kept up my disciplined nightly schedule,
(though I am way off tonight...)
I have felt for a long time that I should be more in control of my time,
that I should have time to do the things I wanted to,
I just had to be a little more disciplined.
I have finally done that.

Other than that, I don't really think I have changed that much,
but it's hard to tell. :D

Oops!

Oops! I skipped a day! Sorry. I am really messing this up this week. I promise I will go back and pick up day 12. :D

My favorite band

I am not a huge music person. I don't have it on constantly, nor do I have a ridiculously long iPod play list (though that will be a future post). However, there are couple of people who could listen to any time, any where. Since it said "band" and mine are both individual singers, I figure I could have two. :)

First is Laura Pausini. One of the very first Italian CDs we bought was her album "Tra Te e Il Mare" (between you and the sea). I was in love. She is amazing!


She even won a grammy!


But, since nobody has any idea who she is, here is number two:


I ADORE Taylor Swift!
She is sweet, beautiful and good to her fans.
And I could listen to her albums all day long and not get tired of them!
Though some people don't think she can sing, I strongly disagree! So there :P

Something I Hate

Cleaning up after dinner!
