If you havent heard that song, well…you need to.  Its just a nice reminder that you never know who you will make an impact on just by being nice.  Just by saying the right thing, taking the time out of your day to make someone else’s day just a little better, a little happier just by listening or carrying on with a word or two.  Just be nice to those around you and wonderful things will happen to you.  ‘Nuff said.

First things first…THANK you all for the comments yesterday about the pit bull incident.  You guys are the best!  Becky, when I read your blog last night I could feel the heat coming off you as you typed those words.  And yes, everyone of you are right, he needs to be reported and would have been but…

apparently the dog is gone.  And that worries me right there because I’m not sure what happened.  We were at our cookout last night and our friend’s stepson was there.  He said he was at the bait store just up from our house and saw the pit.  He was running around the parking lot, scaring people but really looking for food I am sure.  So the girl working in there had called the city cops who in turn called the county.  So I dont know what happened with that and I try not to think about it.  Becky was right, they will put him down if they got him.  But in a way I hope they did get him before some redneck with a gun got him.  But he is gone.

Dozer is ok, he is again laying on my kitchen rug.  In his still puppy state his legs are too long for his upper body so he is top heavy.  So he has a hard time on the hardwoods.  So where ever he can find a rug he will stick to it.  I have to lay down blankets just for him to get footing enough to get up!  He is so silly!  He has been in since 7 this morning because he has decided he hates the rain even with outside shelter.  No accidents but we did let him out for awhile around lunch. Now he is snoozing again.  And Leah, he said he would LOVE for you to come have a beer with us.  And if you have a buddy for him, he would be glad to share a bone or two!  :-p

Now, about last night. Well I still havent gotten my ribs and I guess I wont this weekend.  Just as they fired up the grill last night it came one hell of a downpour!!!  So instead they ordered pizza!  OMG!  Do you know how long its been since I’ve had real, true blue pizza?  And from my favorite pizza joint to boot!  But after I ate a salad I only had room for 2 slices of pepperoni.  So it wasnt all bad.  Of course I got up this morning and had two more for breakfast     :-0

Today has been miserable around here.  The rain has been coming down in buckets.  Right *now* its stopped and its not suppose to start up again until tomorrow.  So tonight’s cookout is back on and I am being forced to make cheese dip.  No, I dont have a gun held to my head but it was asked of me by a few different folks and I’m not one to say no like that.  So I’m gonna make it and I’m gonna eat some and be ok with it.  Funny when you arent being so strict with everything it gives you a little time to do some soul searching and to be honest, while this weekend may have not been good for my waistline it has been good for looking inside myself as to why I am losing this weight and why 169 is so important to me.  And while it is still very important to me, I have decided I am NOT gonna pass up opportunities to live.  No, life is not all about food but in this world life and food does go hand in hand when we celebrate.  So if I gain this weekend, so what?  Really.  I mean it.  What is it gonna do?  Will the stock market crash?  Will gas prices go up to 5 bucks a gallon?  Will the sky turn black and stay that way until I lose it?  And besides me who else is gonna stress over it?

I am too close to goal to let silly shit like that bother me now.  So I’m gonna eat my hot sausage cheese dip tonight, I’m gonna drink the other 6 beers left out of my 12 pack from yesterday and I’m gonna be the only girl in the group tonight in the shop and listen to way too many dirty jokes and comments from the best guys friends in the world.  And when I get on those scales again and I see that gain…I’m gonna think back and say it was worth it because those are times I may never have again.

And I’ll be singing the entire time…

God is great, beer is good…and people are crazy
