Malvie’s Musings, Special Edition

We interrupt my frantic day at work (out for 2 days, holeee crapto) and my frantic preparations to leave for WALT DISNEY WORLD (5:00 sharp, not a second later) for this Special Bulletin.

Anybody who knows me (or has seen my pictures) knows I have fought the battle of the bulge for years and years.  I have been a walking, talking beached baby whale (great care must be exercised lest the tire people paint “Goodyear” down my side).

And, I should not be admitting/trumpeting this, but:

298.8

For the first time in 3 years, the first number of that scale reading above is not a “3”.  I’m not saying how much (because I don’t want to jinx it), but the number has been much higher.

I was in Dallas for a presentation Tuesday.  I am pleased to report that I cannot wear those pants again without serious alterations.  A comment was actually made (by my friends) about my clothes looking like “sacks”.

20 more and I’ve got a whole bunch of clothes, so I’ll have a whole “new” wardrobe.

Working on it, but:

Rubicon.  Crossed.

WE'RE GOING TO WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!

In 12 hours we will be at the airport ready to board our flight to Orlando. I have been saying for a week that this time, I was going to be READY, so I wouldn't have to get ready at the last minute. How much I have packed: -0- How much I have yet to pack: EVERYTHING. Crap. And, we have a 70% chance of thunderstorms for today and tomorrow in Orlando. but WE'RE GOING TO WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!
