BOOBs 2011 Fun Facts!

1. How did you pick your blog name?  I remember sitting on the couch with my laptop agonizing over what to call my blog. I kept trying all kinds of different things that were already taken. I was also in the mindset that this was probably the last time I'd be able to muster the strength and courage to make it happen, thus it's my Last Train Out of Fat Land.

2.When did you start blogging? 

3. Theme of blog (weight loss, family, circus clowns, sci-fi, erotica, fly fishing, doll collecting, star wars, etc)
Mostly my lap band and weight loss, but other stuff creeps in too.

18. What do you want other BOOBs to know about you?
I like to laugh alot... I always go for the gross-out when presented the opportunity. No subject is taboo with me. I like to think I can party down, but let's face it... I have two toddlers at home, and it'll be a miracle if I make it past midnight. Anyone remember our pajama party in the Bama girl's room last year?

I am so watching Xanadu tonight. There has been jack crap on anyway and my daughter Sarah really has to be exposed to the finer talents of Sonny Malone and Danny McGuire as they open their dream nightclub. Plus, she loves rollerskating so she might actually like it now. Yes, I admit I forced her to watch it when she was 4. She could not appreciate the magnificence of ELO and Olivia. What does she know? She likes Justin Bieber. The brainwashing must start now!

I also hope to catch you whispering about me in Chicago again this year!! I can't wait to see you again...and look girls, we need to talk. I saw Xanadu in 1978 at the movie, as a teenager, wearing a knit tunic and pant suit, looking 9 kinds of fine, with my Farah Fawcett hair do...and I swear it's the only movie I have ever wanted to walk out on! Well, I lie...Godzilla too. I had no idea it had a cult following of 2 wonderful girls that I adore. Still, I think it's horrible! We'll discuss at length over drinks!

I am anxious to meet you Roomie! I don't know about the whole Xanadu thing either, it was a pretty baaad movie. However, I love ELO and Olvia so I won't judge too harshly! LOL

I am certain my love of Country Music might irritate a few as well! I am a country girl coming to the Big City! Watch out, I don't get out much, but when I do......hehehehehehehe.
