For those of you innocent people who aren't aware yet, I am what some might call a GLORY HOG. This implies that I enjoy constant validation and feeling like I am accomplishing great & marvelous things on a daily basis. I enjoy having a happy spotlight on me when I have done something noteworthy & in STARK contrast, I absolutely hate having any attention drawn to me when I have made a mistake of any caliber.
That being said ---- this past Wednesday was definitely a glory day for me and Carter and his school. We were finally able to do the presentation for the community grant that Farmers Insurance had awarded his middle school. Within moments and in front of a crowd of over
SIX HUNDRED KIDS...we presented his school with the $2500 for new media systems. It was great to hear all the kids hollar - so excited to have new TV's in their classroom that actually work! Carter was very proud of what "he" had done and went on about how he was going to have SO many friends because of this. Well.....
fast forward 3-4 hours when all the hooplah (thats what they call it out here) has died down - Carter is realizing his 15 minutes is over & he became very distraught. He asked me - "Mom, could you get my school more money because all my popular time is already over". DANG> He is a glory hog too!!! 
Anyway - its been a great thing for the school and a lot of recognition for me and the agent I work for.
On the opposite end of life - I have been doing weight watchers for 8 weeks now and am almost at the 20 lb. down mark! WOO HOO! My dream #1 is to be on Biggest Loser. My dream #2 is to be too skinny to qualify to be on Biggest Loser!
WISH ME LUCK!!!
