I tend to write more on weekends than on the weekdays. I like to find a 'quiet time' - a lull in the day when hubby and son are doing their own thing. I definitely am not a writer by far, but its fun to put my thoughts down on paper.

The other day I drove by Curves (a gym for plus size women - I think). I thought about going in but I went to the wine shop instead. I had so much fun reading all the different blends. My friend Ana has successfully taught me about the ART of WINE, but I get a little shy about picking one out. First the aisles in some stores are just not wide enough to accommodate a pear shaped, plus size woman like me. I have wide hips and surely don't want to knock a $50 bottle of red wine to the ground. It's the worst in the winter since I wear a winter jacket with a thick sweater under it and then my purse. Men never think of this! So if you want me to buy a good bottle of wine, then give me a runway I can walk down!

So that day I decided it would be the front row of wines. Thanks to the Goddess of Plus Size, there was a register at the entrance and the exit. I took my new Shiraz and headed home. Hubby and I were celebrating our 2nd anniversary of a smoke free home! I am proud, I did it. Yes I gained some weight, and I went from a plus size 1x to 2x. However, over the past 8 months I have taken off the weight and now I am back to a size 18 and smokeless. So we are going to toast our accomplishment with a Shiraz and kick back and watch the Biggest Losers!
