Thanks, cause I'm gonna need a red dress. I promised jjeand that if she posted a pic of herself in her new red dress I would post one too. And well I only own 4 dresses, 2 are black and 2 are green. I did go shopping for one but came home empty handed.

Congrats almeeker!!! You are my biggest inspiration on here. Everytime I think I can't do this because I've got too much on my plate already, I look at you and realize it can be done.
Today is my oldest daughter's 18 birthday. I'm sad and happy and amazed it's here already. How the heck did this happen?! We'll be out to a Mexican resteraunt tonight - something of a tradition since her b-day falls on Cinco de Mayo. Sent her a Willow Tree Angel and a balloon at school. She graduates in 16 days. Now I'm gonna sit here and cry. Two grown, two to go.

As a matter of fact, I would venture to say that I'm probably in better physical condition (BP, BMI, weight, etc.) than my oldest son. (Don't tell him that!) I think I'm just too dumb to know that I'm old! LOLCongrats on both of your graduates, by the way! A time to celebrate, for sure!

Almeeker, congrats on the scale moving again. I'm thrilled for you and am joining in the happy dance.
Terri, thanks for your encouragement.
Looks like you're rockin' it this week. Keep up the good work! Wasn't TMI on the boobage for me--I'll bet Mike liked it. (giggle, giggle) At age 64 I reserve the right to bitch any time I want to--it's a retirement perk, you know. LOL
Jjeand, some of those milestones with our kids are hard to swallow, but then with time your life gets better and better--especially when grandkids come along and you hit retirement age. Chin up--the best is yet to come.
Mike, I can't tell Cassie where her head could have been--she's too much of a lady. Maybe Quinn could do it--she's bold like me.

I agree. When our kids become adults, it's a little aging and scary at first. And a little sad when they go to college, or whatever. But that is quickly replaced by a little extra spare time, less drama and "You're coming home AGAIN???" (...usually to do wash)

Do we have a thread where all pics can end up?
Only as old as you feel, y'all...I hear that 50 is the new 30. I'm in better shape now than when I was a teenager, and I'm determined to enjoy it!!

I actually kind of like the red dress (or red shirt, or red shoes, or red leather pants) idea...sort of like the American Heart Association has the "wear red" day for women's health awareness every year. Maybe I need a picture wearing red on my fridge to remind me to make good choices when I open it!
