This week's Wednesday's Weekly Weigh-in will also be Motivational Monday since I apparently took it off for Labor Day. I am still at a plateau and that is probably because of Dragon*Con and eating WAY unhealthy. But since I mentioned Dragon*Con, this weeks (LATE) Motivational Monday is:

Rock your inner NERD!

 I love Dragon*Con. Even in the huge mass of people, I feel safe. It is where I belong. I am so grateful that my husband and LDOD introduced me to the awesomeness that is Dragon*Con.

Dragon*Con is a place where everyone gets together and it doesn't matter if you a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, or just there to party...or even a random Auburn fan, you are welcomed.

While waiting in the ridiculous line to get our badges, the hubby and enjoyed conversations with people of all fandoms and nationalities. People that didn't necessarily agree with our politics but listened to our point of view and were respectful throughout the entire conversation. 

I sound so cheesy when I say this, but: Why can't everyday be like Dragon*Con? And everyone be like Con-goers?

Don't be afraid of who you are.

As the wise Dr. Seuss once said:

"Be who are and say what you feel, because those who mind, don't matter and those who matter, don't mind."

Pretty excited about this trip. I worked really hard for it. LOL I know what I got seems so random and then when I post my Kroger trip you are going to think it is even MORE random. But we needed random things! I wanted to get a few other things but my store is EXTREMEly couponed, so of course they were out. My total after savings but before coupons was like $55 and I had a $5 off $50 coupon that was burning a hole in my pocket. The kids were great too, so that made the trip more enjoyable.
