The TV, fly aways, an earring, and a question
So, yesterday I walked into the 700 Club thrilled at the possibility for their stylist to wield a brush working a little hair do miracle with my self-trimmed situation. But busyness had swept into her world and she only had time for a quick spray and a combing down of the split ends waving to the world from the top of my head.

Bummer.

Thank you for saying I looked nice. And thank you for praying. If you want to watch the segment here it is. But did anyone notice another little situation? Well, watch it and then keep reading...



After my TV interview... and after chatting it up with the amazing folks from another blog called "The lettered cottage"... precious people who need to pack up and come live next door to me...Holly and I went to lunch with one of the producers and a pastor from California.

Anyhow.

We were sitting at lunch and Holly starts giving me the eye. That, "something is wrong and I can't believe I didn't notice this before you went on national TV but I don't want to embarrass you so I'm not sure what to do"- eye.

Eventually, curiosity got the best of dear Holly and in the middle of a conversation about deeply spiritual matters, she reaches over and points to a spot on my necklace. A spot where something was hanging from my necklace. A spot where a square silver earring was just dangling from my necklace waving to the world and proclaiming, "This girl has more issues than just her hair."

Y'all!

How did I not notice an earring hooked to the side of my necklace?!?

See, this is my life. Kind of like the time I flew into a city and totally forgot to pick my luggage up at baggage claim. I just landed, started talking to the lady picking me up, and walked right out of the airport.

The world was my oyster until I discovered my lack of hairspray. Never mind my lack of clothing. It was the hairspray that made my heart beat fast and certain pores on my body to sweat.

Mercy.

Anyhow. Thank you for participating in the weight loss discussions the past couple of days. I am pondering all of your thoughts and will address all of this again next week.

In the meantime, I have one more question for you. What defines life style change as opposed to a diet? I think we all agree that making life style changes is the key to lasting success. So, let's chat about that.

What is a lifestyle change? Is it truly possible to eat healthy forever? What are some realistic substitutes you've implemented that leave you feeling satisfied rather than deprived and envious of those around you who are eating other things?

There is something to be discovered here...
