Sunday Weigh In and Pictures of Us

What can I say, its been one of those weeks.

Yesterday at the dog park, a lady got upset at me and Orbit. She was so mad at us that she called me names.

Well, as you can imagine, that's probably not the first time something like that has happened, but there was a new twist to the vicious verbal attack;

Her insult was to call me an "ole ugly bitch".....

I have been called a lot of names in my life, but I have never been called "old" before. I guess you could say that yesterday was a milestone day. I'm now officially considered "old"....

Because this is a Spiritual Dog Blog, I had to put some deep thought into this post about this subject.

I came up with the conclusion that it was a very sad day when a woman has to resort to calling another woman "old", as if that is the worse thing someone could be. By the way, she was old and ugly; truly she was.

She was about 60, lots of extra weight, weird rusty colored hair, dark brown lipstick, very pale foundation, and an ass that was shaped like a giant pear, which was squeezed into the tightest black jeans she could of possibly have worn. It was obvious it was her attempt at "sexy".

I guess to her, getting old is a horrible thing, the most repugnant insult she could fling at me was to call me old (and of course ugly) over and over and over.

I answered back to her, "yeah..... I'm older, so what?

That's when she threatened to "kick that dog's ass" with her cigarette waving around in my face. She was picking on poor old Orbit, who if you blow on him, will topple over because of his weak hips.

I think this incident is a reflection of our society and how warped many people have become about aging, which of course wears off on everyone.

Her insult made me sad for her and sad for me...because now, I have been considered to be old enough to be called "old".

It's as if I am no longer a virgin of some sort...as if its official, I am now "old"...This is something that I have to accept, time is marching on, and although I think I'm 26, I'm really not....how in the world did that happen?

Okay, moving on to more fun stuff....here I am today at 128 lbs...barley...like 128.7, but it still 128!

I am now use to not eating much, and I have pretty good energy because of the Monavie. I think this week I am going to increase my carbs it to tighten my skin up, but good quality carbs.

I have 5 weeks more to go, so it looks like I have a chance at 120 if
I don't hit the wall!

Happy Sunday Weigh In.....See you next week...I am looking for 127-126lbs

I was feeling more sorry for Poor "Old Orbit"...really, she was about to kick the sweet dog, and he is so harmless.

She wass what we call "trailer trash". Still it was shocking to be called "old" for the first time ever, as if it is a disease or something!

I think most name callers are actually describing what they most fear - um - sorry thats not clear...in other words, she was describing herself!
Seems to be there is alot of out of control people wandering the planet these days...youre wise to not let it get to you!

Lavender,

I was more shocked that she would think that the ultimate insult...we all get old!

None the less, it is a first!

Both Orbit and I have recovered thank you!

Okay well - if that's what old looks like, sign me up! I've never been in that kind of shape - EVER - in my life!
Hope you enjoyed your treat this morning, there's nothing like something like that when you really feel you deserve it!

BTW - I'm done with the ankle bracelet, I will show you soon - after I get a charm on it. You can tell me what you think. Oh, and the earrings!
