    Interior Design sounds fun... I watch a show called Nate Berkus (not sure if I spelled the last name right) but he does home design and is really inspirational. He likes to use stuff from second-hand stores and garage sales so his ideas are affordable. I love that show!

    I have two tats. Both butterflies. I love the one on my back, but regret the one on my foot. Sometimes it's too hard to cover up and for some reason most people have a hard time telling what it is- which I don't get. So I eventually want to either have it removed or covered up / added to.

    I love tattoos but I wish I had put more thought into mine instead of just thinking dragons are cool lol if you have ever seen the cover of the book girl with the dragon tattoo its like a bigger version of that.

    Friday QOTD: Being Friday I have an easy one for you guys.... I just want to get to know you guys a little better, Please list 3 facts about yourself.

    1) My name is Pam and I've been married to Ernie for 23 years and have an 18 year old daughter, Nikki
    2) Transplanted farm girl - grew up on a farm but am now a city girl but have lived in Indiana my entire lift
    3) we have 2 dogs - Daisy and Gold Angus, aka Goldie... Both are labs. I made the mistake of being a smart aleck when we got Goldie when Nikki was 13 and she wanted to name her after a rock musician (preferably a drummer like she is). Because she was using boring first names of drummers she liked such as Neil (Peart) or Chas (Smith), I told her if she was going to use a rocker name she needed to pick an interesting name like Angus and of course it stuck!

    Friday QOTD: Being Friday I have an easy one for you guys.... I just want to get to know you guys a little better, Please list 3 facts about yourself.

    Its kind of hard not to copy someone else's answers (at least topic wise) but I loooove this QOTD.

    1) I have been with my sigoth for 4.5 years and we have no particular desire or intention of getting married. We don't hate the idea but we don't see a point.

    2) We are house shopping, I have seen 5 so far, and I already hate it - we are about 50k short of homes that we could both really agree on so we're having to find a home we can both settle for (for a sense of the scale on that a crappy starter home in a not-great neighborhood is 300k out here, welcome to California!)

    3) I eat almost every meal out, literally - we generally eat 2 meals a day and I'd say 75% are take out or restaurants. This can make it a little hard to be sure how many calories I have so I tend to assume high.

    QOTD Saturday: happy Saturday everyone ! What is the best bit of advice that you have learnt since starting you journey?

    Mine would have to be eat more to lose weight . I was eating 500-800cals a day when I started here and everyone kept telling me the reason I had stopped losing was because I wasn't eating enough. It took me quite a while to get over the fear of eating as in my head eating =fat but its the best thing I ever did.

    sorry I was out until late last night and literally falling asleep trying to complete diary so..

    Friday QOTD: Being Friday I have an easy one for you guys.... I just want to get to know you guys a little better, Please list 3 facts about yourself.

    1) My husband & I spent over 10 years on the journey out of infertility - we are still amazed and blessed that we now have two girls.
    2) I performed in a ameteur theatre show when I was eight months pregnant with my first, playing a pregnant woman with two other small children and a useless husband @ christmas time.
    3) I have had four personal goals I wanted to achieve in my lifetime : to swim with doplhins - which I did thanks to a wonderful friend in october 1999, to touch a tiger - I got to do this in August 1989 - i actually held a 12 week old cub.
    I have two left to do :- raise enough money to sponsor a hearing dog for the deaf or a guide dog for the blind.
    and to get my degree as I didn't get to go to university after school. - this one I have started I am on my first year of four and I am doing it in such a way that my employer is picking up the costs!

    QOTD Saturday: happy Saturday everyone ! What is the best bit of advice that you have learnt since starting you journey?

    For me I think it is Every day is a new day, just because things didn't go right yesterday it doesn't mean you have to give up on today, you can try again, you don't have to be perfect just human.
