Heavy thoughts...

(Two posts in a day... normally i'd spread it out but today is just full of craziness.)

So I've been working hard to get this Europe blog all put together lately. And I wanted it to be really cool, not just writing, but pictures from the trip as well to illustrate the events. Since I did not have too many usable pictures of my own, and my parents took tons with their digital on that trip, i thought i'd raid their stash. Today after work, i went over to use their computer and go through their picture files looking for anything interesting. I'm really not loving what I found....

Okay, let me preface by saying that i've undergone some changes with my physical appearance lately. Meaning i've lost some weight. I'm quite proud of it, and I'm trying to lose some more. But looking at those Europe pictures, makes me realize i've lost quite a bit more than i thought i had. Quite a bit.

To put it bluntly, I don't think I can use any of the pictures my parents have of me because they are truly hellaciously embarrassing. You could post them at SeaWorld under the heading "Miracle: Shamu Walks On Dry Land".

So now I'm wondering, where were my friends through all of this? Why didn't someone step in and have an intervention? Seriously, someone should have stepped up, snatched the cupcake out of my hand and said "Marissa, you're starting to look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, maybe it's time to relinquish the Hostess and hit a treadmill."

Ha Ha....oh god....I'm gonna print out a copy of some of the nastier pictures and tape them to my fridge...that way I never get tempted into letting myself go like that ever again.
