The love story behind the monkey

My husband loves me a lot. I know that and he really doesn’t have to do anything to prove it. But sometimes he does anyway and it’s awesome.                                                       [...]

Why I hate diet pills and why I love Twitter

So Facebook made changes to its news feed again. No one seems pleased, and I totally get that, because I don’t want to have to *think* too hard about my social media, I just want to use it. Still, if Facebook changing its feed is the worst thing that happens today, it’s been a pretty [...]

Open for business

This poor blog fell into the hands of some nasty folks who, and I am just venturing a guess here, couldn’t give two shits about my weight loss efforts. Anyway, the wonderful Mommy Geek saved my ass. If you ever need blog work done, run to her. She’s awesome. It was rather ironic that I [...]

Swimsuit. Confidence. Same sentence. Trying.

I love, love, love the Curvy Girl Guide. It’s a website dedicated to and written by real women. I have found great recipes, read essays that made me laugh and cry, and had more than a few “Preach, sister!” moments inspired by these posts. Last week one of my favorite bloggers (and a beautiful and [...]

Desktop lunch reviews: Mystery

Lately I am becoming concerned about my short-term memory. It’s a daily struggle to recall all the things I am supposed to do and should keep track of, and the more that gets piled on the less I seem to be able to grasp of any of it. Today’s lunch is a prime example. I [...]

Why I am fat

Sometimes you find a little hidden truth about yourself in an entirely unexpected way. I just spent part of my lunch hour cruising my Tumblr dashboard, like I do almost every day. Then I clicked on this link. This was written by a charming and talented young lady I met online via Twitter and in [...]

To fresh starts

I made one New Year’s resolution: To drink more really fine wine in 2011 than I did in 2010. I like to set reasonable goals that I know I can achieve. Beyond that, I do have hopes. I hope I can stay committed to using this blog as a food/exercise/emotion journal. I hope that I [...]

When my knee said, “Enough!”

I have a bad knee. It wasn’t always bad. At one time it kept my upper leg nicely attached to my lower leg, moved in the correct direction when it was supposed to move, supported my weight. All the things a good knee should do. Then one day seven years ago, I fell off a [...]

The words in my head

It’s been a week since I read the Maura Kelly blog post on fashion magazine Marie Claire’s website. In case you missed it you can click here and read it for yourself. I read it. And I read it again. And I was stunned. Then repulsed. Then angry. I went to Twitter, where many of [...]

Behold the Turtle Burger

I got this photo and text in an e-mail today and my life? It will never be the same. I am both horrified and fascinated. This is the sort of kick-ass fucking awesomeness that makes the terrorists hate us. Here’s the text of the e-mail: I have no idea where the name comes from.  Supposedly, [...]
