So today I am 1 year older. I personally don't have a problem with that at all. I have never been one to let age be anything to me except a number. But the day sometimes gives me time to reflect on the past year. I will not bore y'all with too much ,but this past year has been quite a one for sure.

I found out I am a diabetic. That was a very big life changing moment for me. I was feeling really horrible and I was loosing weight dramatically. I was thinking the worst and the doctor told me it was diabetes . In the span of just 1 month I went from feeling bad to feeling great! I then went on a 11 day sabbatical by myself ,driving 3000 miles and enjoying everything around me. I went to a woodworking show and met some amazing people. I then went further north and stayed a day with my mom. Then I traveled towards home and met our very own krickett on my way back home!

I have now lost 70 pounds total , went from a size 40 pant to a 34. I am feeling better than ever and I can back up my positive attitude now more than ever!

Now the next thing.... How do I start my next year? well I am eating right, working out and I don't drink anymore. My vices are dwindling away. But I do have one more vice that needs attention. I smoke. And up until today I was thinking quitting smoking would be like this...

But I am going to be able to say now....

So now I want to say....

Also from now on this will be a .....

Blog.

So there we have it....my final vice(sort of, I will never give up NN LOL)I am quitting first and foremost for myself. Also someone I know is allergic to smoke and I want to do this for that reason too This will be tough for a while .... but I made it through some tough things this year with my diabetes,this should be a snap!

Thanks for reading this so far and thank all of you for reading my blog whenever I do post.I Love you all!

A Happy Birthday to NB(nice bitch) a dear friend

I found an interesting tidbit of history while reading some woodworking blogs. President Thomas Jefferson was a brilliant man. An author,inventor,surveyor,diplomat,voracious reader(the library of congress was started with his books) and so many more things about him seem to almost be super human even compared to todays standards. But one thing I found interesting was his love life as well(surprised? lol) Something new is that he had a fondness for the parisian horse. Whats that you say? Well it was fashionable then to have a beautiful well made "horse" for the bedroom. Its sole purpose was for lovemaking. Hmmmmmmmmmmm ....
This is Thomas jefferson's that he had made for him by Rene Antoin Cavalier. He named it "Fitzpartner" and well it kind of shows a wild side to our revered diplomat.


Now someone I know very little about ,except he became a King of England and had a wild love life before(maybe after I don't know) was Prince Albert. He also had a parisian horse and it looks fancier to me. Well royalty needed fancier things I guess.


So much in history is out there to be found,but you won't find these tidbit's in history class in school.

This would be my luck....


And this....well it's fairly self explanatory LOL


Hope I bring a smile to your face

Um oh yea...
