I will not crash & burn!

It's cold outside. My house is too dark inside to make a decent photo. I will have to get creative over the next month or so to make it w/ my 365. This one was a run outside, snap, run back in. I didn't even care if focus was good or not. This was it. *L*

I have an internet retail biz. Ok, it's ebay for now (Top Seller/Powerseller! Woot!) but am hoping to get a website up SOON and diversify a bit.<--there's a res. for tomorrow, eh?

We went to a wholesale place yesterday to get some stock & they have another business across the road that is mostly home decor stuff. I LOVE going to this place! Awesome candles, unique "stuff", just a very cool shop. It's been awhile since I'd been there & they've gotten in an awesome selection of picture frames. I could've cleaned 'em out if I'd had the $$ to do so. I did get a few and one of my resolutions is to fill them up. With awesome photos. That I made! Which goes hand in hand w/ my get better at photography resolution that is totally consuming me at the moment. So while the photo is not an exciting one, it totally represents one of my biggest goals this year.

Two quotes for today:

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter. ~Ansel Adams

It's broken, right?

My hubby, youngest son & I went shopping yesterday. I've been wanting a new bathroom scale for a while now. Our old one with the spinny dial thing was very inaccurate, adding or subtracting 10 or 15 pounds at will. I got the least expensive digital one Wal-Mart had because I'm frugal (fancy word for cheap!). I got home, popped the battery in & oh. my. heck. Surely, we'd gotten a broken one. I almost died! I knew the britches were a little tighter than they used to be but darn! Ok, I'll admit, I've been heaving my fat gut up over the waistband and letting it hang over. I thought that was just the way mid-rise jeans fit! *sigh* I've never been this heavy. In my life. Even during the ninth month of any of my 3 pregnancies. Gimme back my take-the-pounds-away spinny dial scale, please!

Even though I say it every year, I resolve to lose weight this year!! I mean it! And to make myself do it...I soooo cannot believe I'm doing this...my 2/365 photo is of my scale. And yes, that's me on it. Hopefully, this will give me the incentive I need to keep my sticktoitiveness.

An interesting side note-- apparently, the LED lights in a scale are constantly refreshing, so quickly that the human eye can't see. The first photo I made showed I weighed 1__.2. I thought "see? it is broken" even though I could clearly see the 154.2 in real life. The second photo showed 54. The photo you see is a composite of those two photos. Like my fuzzy slippers?

I'm not overweight. I'm just nine inches too short.
