From now on, when life starts catching up, I'm going to think back to Jan. 1, 2010. A day that some people spent in their PJs, a day some people spent hungover or still partying, a day some people spent challenging themselves. My day was the latter. It was a day that I expanded. Not my mind, but expanded my stomach and waist. An attractive thought to many, I'm sure. It was the day Harley and I, with help from Samantha, finally achieved our overall, life goal. And, neither of us had to break up with our boyfriends like originally planned. We conquered. Destroyed. Dominated. Ultimately, we ate! The three of us went, purchased, and ate a TCBY deep dish cookies and creme pie. All while being watched with laughter from the employees. I went with the "take it slow" strategy. A strategy not chosen by my team as they dove face-first into the pie. After about fifteen short minutes, about half of the pie was eaten and, boy, my teammates were slowing down quickly. They took a water break, leaving me still eating. They had stomachaches. Temporarily for the time being, that is. I continued to eat. Taking it slow and steady. Finally, we got down to the last few bites. Harley. Sam. Me. Sam. Me. Last bite. I took it, ending the day with success. We did it. We ate the entire pie. And, the employees were still laughing as we celebrated our success by laying our heads down on the table.

So, when life hands ME lemons, I'm going to throw them back and demand pie. Because I know I can handle it.
