feelin' great!

So, as of yesterday I have lost 10lbs. That's right -- TEN POUNDS!!! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I went to visit my parents yesterday for a while, and my little Scottish Terrier Maili, and my mom said "I can see the weight-loss in your face already. How much are you down?" And so I told her proudly "TEN!" and my daddy smiled and my mom said "That's great, stick with it." Encouragement feels wonderful, wouldn't you agree?

About a month or so ago, Bryan bought us tickets to go see the frontman of Say Anything at the Masquerade in Atlanta. So yesterday we made our way to Atlanta, and let me just tell you, Max Bemis.....Ohhhhh mah god. Amazing. I loved it. It was a dream come true! Max Bemis' wife Sherri Dupree (of Eisley) was also there, and she did a couple of songs, she and Max did a couple of duets and announced they would be releasing a record together sometime soon. And also, Max performed songs like Crush'd, Walk Through Hell, Alive With the Glory of Love, and soooo many more. When he played his last song and disappeared into the back, we chanted "ONE MORE SONG!" and "BEMIS! BEMIS! BEMIS!"..... Yes, he totally came back out, and played THREE more songs, and a brand new one that will be on their new record! And the whole time, I was standing MAYBE 10 feet from him!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!! He came over to our side of the stage and was practically nose-to-nose with me, and everyone got to touch his head or his hands, etc. He's hilarious. He's full of love and energy unlike any artist I've ever seen before. He said this was the best show of the tour, and that he's been looking forward to it for several days, AND he WILL BE BACK WITH SAY ANYTHING!!! You can rest assured that I will be there. :) Oh, and I got a shirt. It says "I went to see SAY ANYTHING but all I got was their lousy singer." Love it. Love it. Love it. And I can't wait to go back!!

ANYWAY, today I got up, I'm hoarse, andddd I've lost 11lbs! Woo hoo!! It just keeps getting better and better!!
