And Life just keeps getting weirder...

Have you ever taken a look at your life and wondered: "How and the hell did I end up here?" I do it often, sometimes I can't remember how I physically ended up at a certain spot, think Donna Noble, in CAL.
"How did I end up here Dr Moon? I said fishing, and then I am by the lake"
"You walked down the stairs, through the lobby, across the courtyard to here, by the lake"

Sometimes I also wonder how I ended up an overweight stay at home mom. I don't mean to brag, but I am smart, and I used to be athletic. I had all these plans when I was in high school, get my degree, join the service, kick ass, take names, get a very sexy man to take home and eventually have a family. I skipped a few steps. I only achieved my AS, but only AFTER I got married to a sexy man, and then I started a family... Let me be honest here, I am a HORRIBLE house wife. I hate cleaning house, I am not an excellent cook (but I do it a lot), and I am a bad hostess. I know these things, and I accept them.

 Fortunate for me 24 years old does not qualify me as an old woman, I still have the chance to pursue my dreams, though the order has changed a bit. Now I just have to decide on what I want to do with my life. Do I want to teach? hmmm I don't think I could handle other peoples children for a career (props to all the teachers out there, a few of you changed my life for the better)

I really want to be in law enforcement, but could my family handle that?

So, here is my quarter life crisis. What do I want to be when I grow up?

le sigh

On another, more "local", note; I love how the Okinawans squeeze their agriculture into ever space they can.
 Technically, a two lane road^^ Fields on both sides
A crop with a city-scape backdrop. I love the juxtapositions like this!

And here on this tiny island, we use a lot of mirrors to drive as there are a lot of blind curves and corners.

And Finally....


SPIDER! I dare you to dream now....

Update on the Paleo plan:

So... uh, this thing is working! And I have cheated, since my last post I have had four Dr Peppers and one Amp energy drink, and a lunch from Charleys. (Chicken philly melt, yummy!) But I have gone from 226 down to 218. That is almost 10 pounds! I think if I throw in some P90x, include some starchy carbs for more energy, I could start loosing weight even faster. The only challenge is waking up before my toddler son; who, on the morning of the Amp consumption, awoke at 3:30am for those familiar with military time that is 0330 (and for those connected to the real world, that's BEFORE the butt crack of dawn). So, now that I know I am losing weight on this plan, and I have ordered a water filter (the tap water out here is lacking) I know I will be sticking with it for a while. The biggest obstacle will be going back to the states for a month long visit. I will probably do horrible, but I will try to stick with it. If I keep losing about a pound a day, I could be MUCH smaller by the time we fly back any way! WOO!
