Big day in our house - my son had his high school graduation. I was a weeping, emotional wreck because it's been a long, hard battle for all of us. He has ADHD and mild Asperger's, but he's (hopefully!) graduating from the regular school program. It feels like a huge triumph!

I just want to eat and drink what I want and not give a crap. I think I might be depressed because of all the crap that's going on right now with my stepdaughter (not going into that) and my kitty being gone.
I did have an NSV yesterday while cleaning out my closet. I have a pair of BCBG boots that have always been tight on my calves. I put them on yesterday and I actually had a little bit of room where they weren't suffocating my legs. I felt pretty good about that.
That's awesome! My calves are just big enough to be a problem in boots, and last year I was able to buy regular (not wide-calf) boots for the first time since college. That was such a great feeling!
I've always had bigger legs (thanks, Mom) even when I was really thin. They are starting to lean out and get muscular thanks to the 3x a week workouts I've been doing. If I really put in the effort, I'm sure I'd get even more incredible results, but I'm just too lazy.
Now, if I could just get a tan, I'd be in good shape. Pun totally intended.
I can relate so much! Not only with the calves, but also with the tan... I can pick up a tiny bit of sun on my arms and face if I'm outside enough, even through my sunscreen, but I have the palest legs (even with tinted moisturizer). Wearing shorts is always a last resort for me, and I only do it when it's really hot or if I'm just working out/walking the dog... I feel like I could blind people with my legs.
TRUTH!
I usually don't give a crap about how white my legs are during the summer, but since we're going to Florida next month, I'd like to have at least some sort of color other than fluorescent albino. Maybe I'll just wear maxi skirts/dresses the whole time and not even worry about it. I still have the issue with the swimsuit though, (which my husband informed me he hates so I'll be returning it to try to find another) because if I plan on swimming at all, I'll have to take off the dress/skirt.
I am really pale too, but over the years of working a the barn on the weekends my arms have gotten tan and usually don't ever go back to fluorescent white like my legs/stomach/etc. Unfortunately between running and the barn I end up with tan arms (typically in a short sleeved/tank top fashion) and shorts/socks marks from running clothes. When I do get in a bathing suit (not often) I look ridiculous.
I had that issue when I used to play softball in the summer. T shirt tan, short and sock lines. Swimsuits and dresses look funny with blinding white ankles and feet.

Oh this is wonderful. I am in the same boat we are just starting 7th grade starting to emotionally prepare for high school. Great to see this very encouraging.0 -
I love all the pet photos too!
I gained 3 pounds before we left for Vegas last week to make my dress fit and I'm up another six today (which is hopefully mostly water and will go away soon), but we're married!
Sorry they're kinda huge...
The two of you look so calm and happy and the guy 3 rows back looks terrified, lol. Congratulations.0 -

LOL, he's one of our friends and he HATES roller coasters...which is pretty obvious in the photo!
Thanks to everyone for the kind replies and forgive me for the huge photos of my big $99 dress

Thanks for the good wishes!
ETA: I feel a bit odd about posting a picture - I don't have a single one of me anywhere else on MFP.0 -

Today on my way to work I went by a shop that had a black kitty laying next to the mannequins at the widow. I paused to look at it and it meowed loudly at me. I wanted to pet it so bad!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Cannot resist fluffy kittens.
This is mine. Her name is Vameka but I just call her Monster, it's more appropriate. She's my 'heart cat', if there's such a thing, even if she's a pain in the butt.
Aww she's so cute:).0 -

Those of you who are my peeps already know this, but my FIL is currently in the hospital (and it was not looking good Sunday/Monday), but we got great news this morning. He should be alright, though it will be a long road to recovery.
I ate like I spent most of my weekend in a hospital waiting area/sleeping on my BIL's couch, and it shows. I feel like hell, but I'm at work today, so I forced myself to pack an acceptable lunch, and I WILL get my act together over the next couple of days. I even plan to hit the gym tonight and lift my aggression out.
Confession: Prior to putting on a crapton of under eye concealer, I basically looked like a walking corpse. I'm so pale that it's kind of horrifying to other people when I don't get enough sleep.
Must be a huge relief. Glad you got good news.0 -

We adopted her about four years ago with the name Brandie. She is nine now. I have to take her to the vet today to get a rather large lump on her side checked out. Prayers and good vibes would be appreciated.
Prayers it's nothing serious.0 -

At least 4 other times he's not remembered until the end of the day; like "getting into bed" end of the day. I'm not looking for a parade or anything, but a "Happy Birthday" sometime in the morning hours would be nice.
Happy Birthday! My husband hasn't done that, but only because he doesn't want to deal with my crazy.0
