A Party Planning Success
All her friends came from near and far...
She was SHARK GIRL!!!
This was her underwater lair with dolphin, whale and crocodile character balloons.
She swam around and hunted fish...
Her cake was totally sea worthy...
I even made candy coral out of sugar and corn syrup poured over ice cubes in two different colors and then dried.
She even had squid, fish eggs, and goldfish to eat...
We had a wonderful day! Happy 4th Birthday Reesey Piecey!

I have been on methotrexate for 3 years, muscle relaxers for 3 years, antidepressants for 4 years, blood pressure meds for 2 years and things do not seem to be getting better. I am going to greatly humble myself here and admit that my weight teeters at 300lbs. Yes, you read that right. There are alot of mitigating factors but I cannot deny that I am solely to blame, period. I got m...
