Shiny Toy Guns Concert!

I have had a really terrible week so I thought I'd blog about something I LOVE....Shiny Toy Guns!

Wednesday was my 8th Shiny Toy Guns concert.  This time was a little different though, since I've met some cool people over the last year.  In November, I met a girl completely by fate online who is a huge fan and goes to the college I attended, less than 20 minutes from where I now live.  We drove to DC together for a concert after only meeting one time in person before.  Here are a few photos from that show:

The show on Wednesday was a lot different.  Instead of being another fan like usual, I was helping to promote the Satellite group (Shiny Toy Guns street team) to fans, which allowed me back stage access.

I spent a lot of time promoting the Satellite group, but a good friend from college came to the show and it was so good to hang out with him!

Me and Adam... Disclaimer: That is NOT my beer.

Since I'd been busy "working" during the fan meet and greet, STG came out to say hi and take a photo with us.  It was really cool that they took the time out because it was late and it was obvious they were kind of "in" for the evening.

P.S. apparently my camera lens was dirty, not my pants lol

I wish I could see the 50ish pound loss from the November concert more, but I wont complain.  By the next time I see them, whenever that may be, I hope to be at goal!

The show itself was amazing, as always.  There's something about the combination of loud music, bright lights, and singing fans that Shiny Toy Guns just GETS RIGHT.  Even though the venue was nowhere near sold out, the crowd seemed to Love STG, even those who had never heard of them before.

This was definitely the highlight to my otherwise completely shitty week!

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
