What I'm Reading This Week #14

Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer.  No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere.  I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years.  I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer.  I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out.  When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival.   source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer.  He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...

I'm baaack!

Well, back to reality.  Thanks so much to everyone who continued to comment on my posts while I was gone.  I did read them all even if I couldn't respond to them.  (I truly believe vacations are for relaxing, I don't let the Mr bring his work so I don't bring mine)  I'd like to thank all of my guest posters, Jeff from A Schorr Thing, Cammy from Tippy Toe Diet, Julie from Savvy Eats and Jen from Jen's Fit Journey for keeping things lively for me while we were in the islands.  Click on their names if you missed their posts and leave 'em some love in the comments.  If you emailed while I was gone, I've responded.  I know you don't begrudge me some recharge time.  ;)

This trip was interesting to say the least.  I don't think numerology was on our side with our 13th trip to the islands and the 10th anniversary of a trip that didn't go so hot with a friend.  We were able to somehow get through it and there were some serious weight related things that came to the surface that I'll elaborate on in the coming weeks.  I swear I could write 2 weeks of posts just based on some of the crap that went on.  It wasn't without its triumphs as well but isn't that what this little weight loss adventure is all about?  The highs and lows and everything in between?

Stay tuned for your chance to share a little aloha.

    Welcome back. I read all your blogs but I am afraid I didn't comment most times. My life has been more complicated for the past couple of weeks...

    I can't wait to hear all about your vacation. Your comments have me very intrigued.
