There is simply nothing more left to say.
It is time to let go.

Everyone I know is getting sick. But there is only one person in particular I’m concerned about right now. crazy cop is not feeling great. He’s been working himself to death for days now. Anyway, I’m surely hoping he feels better soon. (He NEEDS me to take care of him SEE!) LOL
ANYWAY - this morning was a very busy morning for me. In between working on my business site (private) and the actual website project, that crazy cop and I have been working on, I really did get a lot accomplished and I’m pleased.
From what I know crazy cop has been working so hard lately, that he hasn’t done much work on his end, which is kind of a pain, but I know it’s because he is sick and working himself to death.
I am just excited to see this project through to the end.
It was really amazing, when one day I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror and suddenly realized I was a whole new person.
Not necessarily on the inside or anything. Just on the outside.
I underwent subtle changes during a years time that increased my self-esteem, made me feel better about myself and generally just made me happy.
I look at pictures from a year ago to now, and I really cannot believe it’s the same girl.

Interestingly the picture on the left was in January 2005. The next picture was February 2005.
The difference between the two photos, is that by February I decided that my naturally curly hair was really not that flattering to my face. My straight long hair looked much better.
So then we move on to May. I had just gotten a great part-time job at a 3D Ultrasound office, as the office manager. I loved the position. I started taking T-Burn fat attack combo because we were eating these huge lunches everyday, and I needed some added energy without drinking coffee the entire day. The T-Burn Fat Attack Combo worked well.
Within a month or two I had lost about 20lbs that seriously at the time I had not recognized I had to lose. I am still amazed when I look at those last two photographs and then look at this one.
Wow - what a difference! And if you hadn’t noticed, I lost the glasses. Got contacts instead and darn it I love them. I also took the initiative to cut my hair and style it. It was a first in a long time.
So after I lost all that weight, I then had to purchase a whole new wardrobe. New clothes, new jeans, I loved it!
And this….is the final product.
The brand new, February 2006, Nicole.
