MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS hits theaters everywhere on May 4^th!  Oh, my goodness!  THAT'S TODAY!     WOO HOO!  PIZZA & A MOVIE TONIGHT!

*Also, I want to apologize to my readers I told you to come and see the new surprise addition we have on our house and it would be posted tomorrow.  I'm sorry it's not finished.  I shall Post my surprise addition on Saturday and you may come see it whenever you like, and maybe another teaser picture tomorrow! 

A children's book: "Roger Nix President at Age Six"! Author Nick Dazé.

THE FUNDING FOR THIS AUTHOR CAME THROUGH AND THEN SOME!  WOO HOO!  CONGRATS!  CONGRATS!  CONGRATS!  THANKS TO ALL WHO DONATED.!

Well people guess what.  I didn't read this book yet, but you know what?  This little boy looks so much like my youngest son when he use to pretend he was superman or somebody (Hmmmm who was that masked man back in the early 80's), that I just had to give a friend of a friend a plug.  

Now check this out this first time, young author held a campaign to raise money to publish his very own first book.  Is that cool or what?  What a go-getter!!  Nick Daze and his amazing Kickstarter campaign (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/787960356/roger-nix-president-at-six) has already raised nearly $22,000 and only has $8,000 more to go in order to put the book into production.   Just think of it!  What a dream come true that must be!

Evidently this book has been fully written by Daze, and the illustrations beautifully crafted by Bill Robinson www.FlimFlammery.com . Each $30 pledge towards the Roger Nix campaign comes with a first edition hardcover copy of the book, delivered in time for the new school year this fall.  I'm told that this story is fascinating, engaging, and a thought-provoking read for both kids and parents written by a imaginative adult who was encouraged to explore his imagination as a child.  


Okay, now hold on to your seats ladies & gents my friend has allowed me to share with you an excerpt from the book:
 

Roger stood up quickly. He had something to say

With a wink from Jack and a trunks-up from Abe.

“I’ll run against him,” Roger said with a shout.

“I’ll run for president, have you no doubt!

To close school would be nothing short of a crime

You can't fool all us kids, not all of the time."

He stood on his desk and they all watched and wondered

As Roger kept talking, his voice boomed and thundered.

“We’ll beat him and keep all the schools as they are

Or make them way better. We’ll shoot for the stars!

We go to school so one day we'll go far,

Not because it is easy–because it is hard!

We are KIDS! The whole point is to learn and have fun

And to use our wee noggins...

THIS RACE HAS BEGUN!"

So Abe, Jack, and Roger got to work right away.

"That kid's on to something," his parents would say.

He made lots of speeches; he shook lots of hands

He toured a big factory that made rubber bands.

Then one night on the tube, to Old Plee’s disdain,

The news ran a story on Roger’s campaign.

“Roger Nix, daydreamer and ultimate kid,

Is gaining on Plee in his presidential bid.”

But everyone knew that sooner or later

Roger would have to be quite the debater.

Because one night soon, under some bright marquee

A debate would take place between Roger and Plee.

Weight Be Gone!

Hi Everyone!  This is my Weight Be Gone Thursday for me.  If you'd like to follow me in my journey you are welcome.  If you'd like to share your own journey feel free to sign my linky below, and I'll come visit you or if you have a great diet recipe that would be appreciated very much. Thank you.  The reason I've started my journey is I had a rude awakening to the reality of life in that I'm not getting any younger, and if I still wanted to lead a fun, and  happy life I had to make some serious changes.

Last week I was 250 lbs. & drum roll please 247lbs. I cannot believe I broke the ice.  Unfortunately my exercising has come to a halt, but still watching what I eat until after my shots & I'll be back at the health club this time for some water aerobics & more walking.  Love you all & thanks for stopping by. 

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS:

• BECOME A SLOW EATER: if you eat slow, chew a lot and savor every bite, this tricks your body into thinking it's full with less food. If you eat too fast, you tend to over eat.
• SKIP THE MEAT OCCASIONALLY: meatless meals help you trim calories. Replace it with vegetables and fruits.
• Red/marinara sauce is better than Alfredo or creamy sauce when you are counting calories. 
• DOWNSIZE YOUR PLATE: use a 10" lunch plate instead of a dinner plate. this tricks your body into thinking more food even though you are eating less. It is all in the mind.

If you have any tips for me, please kindly leave them in a comment.  Also, if you're on a diet journey and you want to share please sign my linky below.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
 
Oh, and I finally got my video from my walk in the park.  Would  you like to see it.  Well, let's go for a walk.
