This past weekend I did something I never thought I could (or would ever) do… then again in the past 3 years I never thought I would lose 150 pounds either.

So on to the activity… It was not skydiving, belly dancing or hiring a skywriter to decree my accomplishment across the land. It was not bungee jumping, installing a stripper pole, or going on a 150 day vacation (although in hindsight, that would be very nice!) It was not streaking at a local sporting event, skinny dipping (oh my cold!) or taking a day to pamper myself through the means of manicure, pedicure and massage. It was not a hot air balloon ride, sailing across the sea, or getting my pictures professionally redone.

Yes… these were all suggestions that I had solicited from friends, near and far. There were more, but I should try to keep this PG-13.

Instead of these wonderful suggestions, we headed off to Grand Rapids to a little place called Mos Eisleys.

The kanji symbols mean “Achievement” or “Accomplishment”

And I have to say, I’m very happy with how things turned out.
