ALLLL BYYYY MYSELLLLFFFF
The ocean is beautiful and majestic.
But it can also be a bit frightening.
Especially when this is all you see looking one way.
And the other way.
But this makes it worth it!

Glass Blowing with the 10 Year Old
Meet my younger son Jared.
He's a bit crazy :D
But we like him that way.
Anyway, for his birthday he wanted to go to Hot Sand in Asbury Park, NJ and do glass blowing, like I did for back in December. As luck would have it, just a few short days before his birthday, there was a Groupon for half off Hot Sand! (yeah me!)
We finally got there about a week ago.
While their only rule is that you have to be at least 9 years old, be smart and realize that if your child can not sit still and listen to directions, maybe you should wait until they're a little older.
Remember the glass is HOT!
And you have to blow quite a bit!
Check out that hot red glass!
Keep BLOWING!
After this they put it in the oven to bring the temp down slowly & a few days later you can pick it up.
Here is Jared's Blue Glass Ball.
OH and since I'm talking about Jared, I should mention one other thing. Last night his Minor Little League team won their division Championship!!!
It's been a good week to be Jared!

2 years, 6 months and 16 days later
Forgive the self indulgent post today (umm what blog isn't self indulgent?) but today's blog is all about an accomplishment I achieved today.
Today, June 17th, 2011
2 years, 6 months and 16 days later
After MANY MANY starts & stops, injuries, parties, laziness, holidays and other obstacles
I am
SHOUTING FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS
I HAVE LOST 65 POUNDS
SIXTY-FUCKING-FIVE POUNDS
(sorry about the language)
January 2009 to June 2011
I'm not done yet, but this was my main goal.
A 65 pound fish
I almost cried this morning when I stepped on the scale. And it would have been a good cry, not a bad cry.
When I started this journey, that mountain of 65lbs was scary, so I took it 10 pounds at a time and 1 meal at a time. That's all I could do. I couldn't focus on the mountain, I had to focus on 1 step at a time. And here I am.
I'm not done yet. I want to lose at least another 10, if not 20.
But today is MY day because I am proud of me.

Gives them the "eye"
Apparently the Blue Fish were biting today, because there were fishermen on my beach today. And lots of boats in the water.
Get off my BEACH!
I feel like that old man in your neighborhood yelling at the kids to "get off my lawn" LOL
Except it's not *MY* beach LOL
Don't these people have day jobs? It's Wednesday!

Beach Glass
I found this piece of beach glass a few weeks ago on the Jersey Shore when I was there doing my Custom Beach Writings.
I tried to wrap it with wire and well that's a skill I do not have.
So instead I attached a bail and made this necklace.
I'm not a person to make jewelry other then my picture pendants, but I think this one came out pretty nice. I listed it in
If you want it. $20 plus $2.50 shipping.
