My Best Friend...

Hey Chics! I thought that I had a post ready to post tonight but then it looks like it has been taken over by a lot of emotion all of a sudden. So as everyone has already heard Whitney Houston has passed away. She is too young and it was way to soon. I remember listening to her all through school. One of my friends posted a song of hers tonight on their facebook page and it was "I Will Always Love You." I am sure everyone else is familiar with the song and if not look it up because it is great. So that must mean I listened to it, right? No chance in hell! I didn't even have to listen to it. Just the thought of that song brings me back to a time I would rather forget but yet I can replay it in my mind like it was yesterday. It was my best friends funeral. Once again a life that was lost way too soon. 

There will always be some losses in life that you can never get over. You think you have put them to rest and then the smallest thing will bring them right back in front of your face. Like yesterday, I was looking on Ebay for some brooches for my bouquet for the wedding. It still pains me to know she won't be there. This is the girl that I always talked about being in each others wedding and having kids at the same time and what we would name them. All of a sudden I come to this rose that looks exactly like a glass rose I gave her a long time ago. I ended up with the rose she had but it is broken. So when I saw this brooch it all came back to me and now I am of course trying to win it. There isn't a day that goes by that I still don't think about her. Almost 20 years later and I can remember it like it was yesterday. And although I know she is always looking down on me and I am sure wanting to smack me around (a lot). 


Ok now onto a much happier subject! I FINALLY got to check my 1st box off on my chart this morning! Woo Hoo! That is the best feeling in the world! Now that I have figured out how to get the exercising done it is time for the eating. This for me will be the hardest part! But I can do it! 


Tomorrow I am going to go and get some chicken that I can cook for myself at night so I am eating what I should eat. Oh and I am going to go buy lots and lots of veggies! I love veggies! But I love my potatoes too! 


I am sorry if this post was a little sad but I had to get it out rather than reach for the red velvet cake!
