Getting Fat for Tuesday….

birthdayoreorkt2

*It’s Tuesday and I’m fat. It’s Fat Tuesday. :) *All of my friends are going on and on about Downton Abbey. I’m not going to watch it. The whole time I was addicted to Lost I would hate having to wait until the next season to know what the heck was going and really I never did. Plus I just kept thinking what if I die before I see the ending of Lost. :P That can’t be good. I’m stuck watching Grey’s Anatomy every week not because I really like it anymore, I’m just invested. So I am only going to watch shows now that are completely come and gone. That way I can rent all the season and do a week long marathon and not have to wait to see how it ends. *I watched a great video about the amazing benefits of just getting 20-30 minutes of exercise a day. While I may be a chunkster I am one that has all the good numbers. My heart rate, pulse, sugar level, cholesterol etc is not only good but great. It’s because I do something active every day. As the video says you get 23 … [Read more...]

It’s not always about you…

When you write a blog for over 6 years you start to run out of ideas. Especially when you have the added pressure of people telling you not only do they come for the recipes but also to see what I wrote. It’s very hard when one leads such an exciting life as mine how to cram all those stories in. I could do a picture tutorial of how I put the laundry in, and then take it out. Then run it through the dryer, not once, not twice, but usually three times because we have the worst apartment dryer ever. This is all riveting stuff I tell you. :P Most often the stories come from my childhood and I embarrass my parents. :P Or they come from what happens in my every day. And believe it or not there is a lot going on that I don’t talk about. As far as people’s concern about my writing things that involve my friends…as I have said before, I ask them if I can put it up if I think in any way it will embarrass them. Then as usual I have friends who forget this and email and ask, was that … [Read more...]

Are you going to eat that…

I think next to former smokers the most annoying people are people who just lost weight and love to try and tell you how to eat. I personally don’t smoke, I’ve never smoked a day in my life, but I’m not going to annoy someone by telling them how bad it is. Guess what, they know. It’s pretty hard not to these days. What is hard to figure out nowadays is what to eat. First it was no fat. Then fat is okay. Then only certain fats. Don't eat eggs. Okay eat eggs. Only eat the white part of the egg. Oh wait you can eat all the egg again. Then eat only meat. Don’t eat too much fruit. No white food. No potatoes. And on and on. It changes often. If I followed the guidelines I should technically already be dead based on my bacon consumption. I loathe going out to eat with my friends who are on a health kick. I just went out to eat with my friend who is a stay at home mom. She has no job (*she has no conventional job I realize that being a mom is a hard job. But at no time when … [Read more...]
