My husband won this contest at work…The prize? 2 tickets to the Spiderman 3 premier in either L.A. or NY. Do you know what that means? We get to walk the red carpet with cool Hollywood actors like Toby MacGuire and Kirsten Dunst!
Do you know what that really means? That means that when I woke up yesterday morning and thought, “I’m tired of trying to lose weight. Screw it. I don’t even feel like trying anymore…I really need some good motivation if I’m ever going to get back into my clothes and I just don’t have it right now,” God laughed and made sure my husband’s name, which had been withdrawn from the drawing and then re-entered right before the drawing took place, was actually pulled out of the hat.
Why is this motivation? Because apparently I’m vain and don’t want to look like an elephant around all those way-too-skinny actresses who have the bodies of 10 year olds. Seriously, my 13 year old boy has more curves than these chics.
So, I’m motivated again…and instead of looking like an elephant next to them, I’m striving to only look like a cow. Because the size of a cow is about right for me. Unlike Hollywood women, I want to keep my curves – that’s what sets me apart from the little girls under my roof. Yes, my little girls (at least my 3 year old) envy my curves. I love it. She always talks about the curves she’s going to have when she grows up like me.
Really, I don’t know how this whole trip is going to work. I can’t even go house hunting with my husband (which I’m totally okay with now that we figured out we will be saving over, $1000 by me staying home!)
I love to watch the Spiderman movies, but after waiting in line for an hour and a half to meet Uchenna and Joyce and Rob and Amber (Reality tv stars from The Amazing Race and Survivor) I realized that they are just people and although they were very nice, meeting famous people isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. They are JUST people. People who get paid way too much money to entertain, nonetheless. Shoot, put me in front of a war hero, like my grandpa, and I’d be honored to say I met them.
Anyway, like I said, I still don’t know how this is going to work out. I have a baby and she isn’t old enough to walk the red carpet, AND she won’t take a bottle, AND she’s totally into her mommy so I can’t see leaving her for two nights without her freaking out. Although, I should have Scott take Kelly. Perhaps she could be discovered for her natural singing talents! ha ha
It’s not that I’m not excited, but my husband is way more excited than I am about this whole contest, but I do think it would be cool to be able to post a couple of pics on my blog, not of Kirsten or Toby, or that cute actor guy who starred in Fly Boys (whose name I can’t seem to remember right now), but of me and my handsome hubby walking the red carpet. That would be kind of cool.
P.S. I know I say that these actors are just people and meeting them isn’t that big of a deal, but if any of the actors from The Office were there, THEN I’d go nuts. I just LOVE that show!
How FUN!!! You better go!!! Can your mom come and stay with the kids? Or sister in law? I’ll be praying Madison takes that bottle so mommy can walk that red carpet. I want PICTURES!!!

That is so neat and sounds so fun !!!
That’s awesome that you guys won, wow what are the chances huh !:)
I TOTALLY know what you mean about losing weight !!
I have about 40 lb. I need to lose. What’s really messed up is I actually sell weightloss products (I work from home) and I know they work (I’ve lost all my pre-pregnancy weight 2 times, I’ve gotten back into my size 4 jeans) Now though my last “baby” is almost three and I’m still lugging around that extra weight !
It’s just so hard to be disciplined and motivated this time. Obviously huh, three years and I weigh more now then after I had my son !!!
So anyway – I’m there with you !!:)
Have a blessed day !

What a beautiful family you have. The prize sounds great, but it’s the cherry on top of what you already have.

Walk the red carpet???
Don’t settle for that. Demand to swing above the streets from a skyscraper on a spiderweb with the movie star. You deserve it. You’re a contest winner!

Did you see Rainn Wilson (Dwight) on Saturday Night Live last week, and the parody they did of The Office? I laughed my butt off. And it was a rerunn last night. Boo. BTW, I’ve seen pics of you and you’re gorgeous. You should have nothing to worry about.
