It’s a Celebration!

Occasionally even the most humble of us hit a milestone worthy of a boast or two, and so it is with much chest-puffing and prancing about that I must publicly broadcast that I have hit an all-time (well, as far back as my personal records go) low weight, after ditching fifty-one jiggly pounds! This was made possible by a combination of things, namely a dedication to getting off my lazy ass and running/biking as much as possible, as well as paying absurd amounts of detail to anything and everything I consume. For example, today’s lunch:

Celebratory PB & J

(Measured to the exact recommended eight ounce serving size, of course….)

No amount of discipline or dedication, however, can keep me from indulging in my one guilty pleasure….

Street vendor, mall eatery, whatever – when I see a giant soft pretzel, I immediately treat myself (insert shrug here). But I digress, as I’m sure none of you are here to hear me rodomontade or gasconade so profusely (I can hear the dictionary pages flapping from here…).

But, in celebration of my milestone, I’m giving you (well, one of you) a gift! Just leave me a few words, three specifically , below. After all, that is what we’re all here for, right? Words? Writing, reading, commenting, and all that jazz; it’s all just rearranging words in hopes of hitting that perfectly pleasing combination, but words do have the ability to be incredibly powerful and potent…

After I met my partner in crime’s mother’s boss, for example, he promptly reported back to ColTempo Sr., describing me as “personable yet scruffy,” a phrase that still gets tossed around, much to everyone’s entertainment. More recently, upon applying for a job, Katie was quickly summed up by the interviewer, who simply jotted three words in the margins of her resume: “Cute, young, confident.”

Much like the six word story, apparently the shorter the length of a description, the better, which brings me full circle back to my gift to you…drop a comment with the three words that best describe you; or, if you really want to get creative, tell me what you think of me in three words…I am a glutton for attention, after all. After 48 hours, I’ll pick a commenter at random and present he or she with……

Brand new, still shrink-wrapped. I know, it’s no fancy camera, huge chunk of cash, or anything else wildy extravagant, but I’m only asking for three words, after all, not a novella.

And so, let the giveaway begin (imagine a starter gun being fired…….NOW)!
