It's been over a month since my surgery, and every day is awesome! It's still really weird to leave the house without what used to be my "faithful companion." Otherwise know as my fake boob. That stupid little hunk of silicone ruled my life for so long. Now, it's just a thing of the past. So, I've got that to still get used to. I did buy a new bathing suit!! While I haven't lost any weight (like I had planned) I still deserve a new suit. That, and A Bird starts her swimming lessons tomorrow, and I've got to get my chunky meatball butt in the pool with her!
Other than that, things are well. I just turned 31, but really, don't feel a day over 28! A bird turns 4 in a week. She growing up so fast! It's so awesome, and really sad all at the same time. She'll be starting school in a year. She'll have to start at a new daycare (which means saying goodbye to Krista and her friends) and she'll have to ride the bus for like, 45 minutes, and with Highschooler's! I really don't even want to think about that yet :(
It also seems that possibly, this week, spring has actually sprung! Thank goodness, I was growing quite tired of winter! Happy Spring!!!

Alright, So I'm the Loud Girl.
After 31 years on this earth, and countless people telling me, I've come to the realization that I'm the Loud Girl.
You know, everyone has one in their family, or a friend, or girlfriend. They talk constantly, very loudly, about everything and anything. With no regard for any one's conservativeness, or how awkward some conversation topics might make people feel. Well, that's me, all the way. I'm not proud of this fact. I mean, I guess sometimes I'm okay with it. It's kind of nice to feel comfortable enough in my own skin to say what I want. Lord knows I embarrass myself often. and I know there are some people out there, that never say what they want, or what they're thinking for fear of how people might take it, or that they'll upset someone.. But, more often than not I wish I had a "filter". Oh hell, sometimes I wish I had, like, three filters. I'm always putting my foot in my mouth, and then having to apologize for whatever mess I had just created. This definitely gets old after a while. And to always be known as the "Loud Girl" or the one that no one can never get a word in edge wise with, well, it sucks. Some days I wish I could wake up, and keep everything to myself. My thoughts, my opinions, my feelings, what I ate for dinner, and how it came out... you get my drift. But how do I just change that? How does one just stop being who they've been for the last 31 years?? So then I say to myself, well, people either have to love me or hate me. Except me, or not. But who am I fooling? we'd all like to be excepted, right? I don't know... I guess when I figure it out, I spread the word. Or, will I? Maybe I'll just keep it to myself?!

These boots were made for walking...

| Walk MS 2011 !!! So, It's that time of year again, when all of the "usual" fundraisers are in full swing! Two years ago, I raised money for March of Dimes. Last year, I volunteered to do the "banking" for The Relay For Life. This year, something new, but close to home... Walk MS. My Step-Father-In-Law was diagnosed with MS a few years back, and so far, has been controlling it well. But, we all now the day will come where it may start to control him. So, I am walking for MS. For research, and a cure. I am feeling pretty good about this one.. it's in May (May is a beautiful month!) I'm starting to feel a little healthier! It's fresh air, and exercise, all for a good cause! If anyone would like to donate (any amount is , of course, appreciated!) or if you just want to come out and walk with me, please let me know!!! Or click http://walknyr.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=WLK_NYR_homepage to reach my pledge page! Click on donate/Epledge, find my location (Canandaigua, NY) type in Lauren Schrader, click find... and BAM!! that should lead you to my page :) I thank you all in advance for your help, or even, just your kind thoughts! You're all beautiful, and together, we can make miracles!! (I really do believe this :) |
