Holding nothing back…

Wow.  Really, it’s the only word that comes to mind, just WOW!
I’m witnessing history tonight, and I can honestly say that I’ve never been MORE proud to be an American. The picture that will remain in my mind for the rest of my life was on MSNBC’s coverage. When they announced that projections were for Barack [...]

I finally sat down and watched the original version of The Women. Taking into consideration the fact that it was filmed in 1939 and reflects the values of the era, it was ok. Yes, just ok.
First, Joan Crawford as Crystal was definitely AWESOME! Blew Mendes’ performance of Crystal completely and totally OUT of the water. After watching Crawford in [...]

I don’t normally post about politics.  I don’t know, it’s just not my thing.  I debate politics with people I can see face-to-face or whom I know well enough to hear their voice as I read their words so that there are fewer misunderstandings.  Here…  I just don’t usually do it.  I don’t have a [...]

I’m actually doing pretty well, much better than I had expected after surgery.  Today has actually been the worst day so far.  I’m more sore today than  have been since Wednesday (the day the surgery was actually performed).
We got to the hospital at 7:30 Wednesday morning, went back to the pre-op area, and did a [...]

Thankfully, the biopsy came back negative, so the cancer scare is over!  Because of my family history, we’ve decided that it’s in my best interest to go on and do a hysterectomy.  It is scheduled for Sept 10.  Just before my birthday.  Nice.
DH has vacation time available so he’s going to take a week off [...]

I’m trying to put together a post about some medical crap I have going on, but every time I [...]

As of today, I join several others in heeding Rachel’s call to post pictures of myself in all my fat chick glory, head intact. 
(Click on thumbnail to bigify.)
These were taken by a very talented photographer who does some beautiful boudoir photography at a club here in the metroplex.  Awesome man, awesome photographer, and an eye for [...]

Why do fat chicks tan?
I kid you not, that’s the search term someone used to find my blog.  Apparently, it pulled up my post about trying to find a decent two-peice bathing suit to tan in. 
Seriously?  Someone SERIOUSLY doesn’t understand why a fat chick would tan?  I’ve spent quite a bit of time deciding whether [...]

This article from spiked.com is actually about cooking shows, but there are several good points made:

Carbs are an essential part of a balanced diet, and a more efficient source of energy than protein or fat
Carbs do not make you obese
There is no “junk food,” only “junk diets”
Fast food is only bad for you if you [...]
