Hunny bourbonz chicken all done!

OK, so I had to wait until my beloved COLTS MADE IT BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL AH HELL YEAH! before I could get my chicken in the oven. So I was running just a wee bit late. In the meantime the next game started to determine who would face MY COLTS IN THE SUPER [...]

Sweet bourbonz marinade for da chickenz

If you would be so inclined to vote for me today in the Aiming Low recipe contest, I would be oh so very grateful. I would think you were an awesome person. I would invite you over to my house for honey bourbon chicken, I promise. And in case you were unconvinced of the awesomeness [...]

A decent start

After making the monumental step of going to the gym on Sunday, I made the monumentally stupid decision to step on my bathroom scale. I would like to say it wasn’t as bad as I feared. But I hardly ever get to say what I like. I spent most of 2008 shedding 50 pounds. It [...]

Cats, dogs and Chinese food

Don’t read anything more into this title than three separate subjects in this post. I am certainly NOT implying there are cats and dogs in Chinese food. At least, there isn’t in any of the places I’ve ever patronized. Any old hoo, I had to take my cat to work on Friday. It’s a long [...]

A bigger wallet to match my bigger ass

I have a number of problems, not the least of which is my purse, which is very cute, it really too small for my life. It’s not a good thing when your bag, which you selected because it makes exactly the fashion statement that you want, is just too fucking small to carry all the [...]

I forgot how hard this is

I have started and stopped weight loss plans more times than I could possibly recall.  This week I wanted to make an official start: Back on the Weight Watchers model of tracking, planning and being acutely aware of every calorie consumed and every calorie burned. And I’ve failed miserably at all of that. Next best [...]

Home at last

This blog picked it’s shit up and moved in the middle of the night, like it was avoiding paying the last month’s rent. That’s not true. This spiffy new design and new host are the work of blog goddess @MommyGeekology, or @RentAGeekMom, whom I HIGHLY recommend for all your blogging design needs. She’s just wonderful [...]

Excuse #8,934 for blowing off the gym

OK, I totally blew off the gym last night. And I can’t blame Paula Deen. Or anyone else but me. I went into lazy mode as soon as I got home. I was tired. I was frustrated. I had a hard day. I totally deserved that pizza I ordered. And the bottle of wine I [...]

Boutique? Think more outdoor sporting goods

The back-on-plan weight loss thingy? Not going swell, I gotta admit. On Monday I bought a box of those 100-calorie pack cookies for my office. If I eat all six packs one at a time, that’s still 100 calories, right? We went to our favorite restaurant on Friday and I drowned my shitty-work-week sorrows in [...]

Downscaling: a mission statement

I am a fat girl. Plump, chubby, heavy, whatever you want to call it. I am overweight. Obese. Let’s just get that out there right now. I’m not proud of it, but there it is. I am in the shape I am in because I love, love, love food, especially the really decadent stuff like [...]
