UPDATE!!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

I know, I know.....I need to start updating more often. I promise I will!! I have been playing catch up with everything else for the last few weeks and have been busy putting more business plans together, going to many interviews etc....I can't tell you what they are just yet, but we are pretty excited about some of our future plans!! If I share my news now...I know I will only jinx myself!!!

Anyways, last week was Halloween, so Happy Be-lated Halloween. I hope you all had a safe and fun evening. My son Alex (who is 13yrs. old) begged me for a week to be able to go out trick or treating with a group of friends without me. I am really having a hard time dealing with the fact that he is growing up and wanting to be more independent. (I even offered to dress up in a costume and go trick or treating with him and his friends....he didn't even give that one a second thought...the answer was a big NO!!!) I allowed him to go out but he had to take my cell phone and check in to let me know he was ok. He left the house at 5:30pm and had to be home no later than 7:30pm Alex called home 3 times while he was out, so my mind was put at ease. I will post pictures of him later...I still need to download them from the camera. He brought home a huge pillowcase full of junk! I love chocolate, so thank goodness it's not competition season!
Alex is turning into a wonderful "young man" and as difficult as it may be to accept the fact that he is growing up, I am pleased to see that he is a caring, still polite respectful and giving individual. He is my pride and joy and I love him dearly.

Today was my last cheat meal for a while. This weekend Dennis and I sat down and put a new off season plan into action and will kick it into gear tomorrow. I feel soooooo sick right now and I am so disgusted with what I ate. We went to the Mandarin Restaurant for lunch. For the amount of food that I ate, I might as well have pulled a chair up to the buffet and just shoveled the food right into my big mouth...thank God I wore some elastisized pants!!!!
I can't wait to go to the gym tomorrow and get my butt in gear!!!

I have updated my biography and contest history page. It should be posted in a few days, so be sure to check back.

Well, I guess that's it.

I have to go lie down and let my big gut digest all that food!!!

Have a great week.

Love Mindi O
