Or have you complimented someone else? It doesnt have to be about weight, it can be about anything. I was listening to the guy the other night on TV and he said "Just complimenting someone can brighten their day." Well how true. So I have been keeping that in mind lately....about anything.

Rich came into the bathroom the other night while I was taking a bath and told me that I should audition for his friend's band. He had just listened to them a few nights before and said that their female leadsinger didnt hold a candle to me. Well that was very nice of Rich to think that...I do sing pretty good, but I think that Ike is still a little young for me to be traveling around with a band on the weekends hehe

Then Tina told me that I was an "artist" because she never realized that I had freehanded the apples around my kitchen. She thought I stenciled them, but I only stenciled one set and did the rest freehand. She even talked about buying me artist stuff so that I could practice!

Well, when you do make it big time with a band...remember us little people!! : )

I was told something today that made me feel soooooo good. One of our boss's comes in every 3 months from one of our other offices to help us out. So this morning I came in and he walked up to me and said, "WOW, you look HOT! You've lost weight and cut your hair!" I'm thinking yeah right hot, HA! I laughed, but that really made me feel good. Especially after eating like a pig all wkend and figuring I blew my diet all together. But now I feel like I could run a marathon.

"Just complimenting someone can brighten their day."

Yes indeed - I think it's brightened my YEAR!

Well the thing is...I have a few talents but Im not sure that I have ever worked any of them enough to actually be concidered really good.

I can sing...but years of smoking messed that up, plus Ive never had real training. I used to sing in church alot though. I have a musical ear...I played french horn for 6 years. My art teacher used to tell me I was really good, but I cant sit down and actually draw something...like a face or cartoon character. So I dont think I have a real knack for art. I probably lean more towards painting though because I can be messy with that hehe

I have also dabbled a little with writing. I started a book but never got past the first chapter. I was so gung-ho about it that I think I burnt myself out in the first few nights. Tina read some of it and thought it was very straight forward and interesting. So who knows what my REAL talent is :)
