No doubt you've often asked yourself, if I were a Spice Girl, who would I be? I'm sure not a day goes by without you thinking about that. ;) I'd like to be Sporty Spice but that one has been taken. I can be Scary but usually just in the morning. I can be a Baby if I don't get my way. Posh, um...no. I think the last one was Sexy spice...can I be sexy in those green sweat pants? I am thinking no. So that leaves me with Sarcastic Spice. Yes, I think that is the Spice Girl that best describes me. Of course then there is the problem with the whole I can't actually sing thing. I mean, I can sing. I just sound like I am beating a cat to death when I open my mouth to sing. I can actually make my dog leave the room when I sing (note to you...don't ever take me to karaoke). And dance moves. Let's just say that until they make the bobbing slug a pop star dance move, I am screwed in this area. Not familiar with the bobbing slug? I bet you are. You know, your feet are planted firmly on the … [Read more...]
IMHO….
If you don't know what IMHO is (read my dad), it stands for In My Honest (or Humble) Opinion. And folks that is what most of this blog (other than the food part) is. It's my ramblings and my opinions (read, not the truth, just an opinion). And though many more people agreed with me than disagreed (this time around ;) ), I find it humorous several of the ones who do disagree get really upset about it. I had more negative email than I did comments, that is all well and good. All of them had the same theme...in the grand scheme of things is this really a big deal. No, no it is not. However, my blog is 99% useless rambling. Truthfully, I don't want to get into the relevant things. Because right now the relevant things really suck. I mean, my neighbors are selling their house for $107,000 less than what they bought it less than two years ago. Ouch. Right now the economy sucks. And since I only had one economy class in my life, which I napped through 90% of it (I was not made for the … [Read more...]
Amateur hour….
First off let me say that this post will most likely stir some people in the wrong way. So feel free to speak your mind but do so respectfully and with a real email address (no real one, your post goes bye-bye). So other than the Person of Size comment, the other thing that has been bugging me is the word... chef. It seems everyone is one now, or so they think. People throw this word around a lot. But 90% of them who are throwing it around aren't actually chefs. Case in point. The other week when we were at a gathering, a man turns to me and says, “I heard you made the cake, it's really good” and I replied back that “yes, I did, thank you”. He then told me, my “wife is a gourmet chef”. I said, “oh really, where does she work”? He went on to tell me that she doesn't actually work in a kitchen that she was a stay at home mom. I told him then his wife was a gourmet cook, not a gourmet chef. The man seemed very put out. “Well, she's … [Read more...]
Tart of size…
Most of my doctors are all under one clinic. Different buildings but they are all connected by computer so they know what is going on with you. Apparently they must have all decided to adopt a new phrase, a new phrase that drives me crazy...Person of size. They are now using this instead of calling someone fat or obese. I find this odd, as everyone technically is a person of size. We all have size. Some just smaller or larger than others. I think I threw my last doctor for a loop. He is kind of on the serious side (read no fun and has personality of a rice cake) and so when he busted out the person of size phrase on me I said back to him, “If my Wii Fit can call me obese, you can too”. The man had no idea what to say and stood there with a blank look. I don't know if it was because he was in shock that I would call myself obese (by BMI standards) or if he had no idea what a Wii Fit was. Then he was asking me general questions and we came to exercise. He asked me how many … [Read more...]
