My husband probably *almost* wishes I hadn’t lost the weight

By on March 26, 2011

I am in a quandry.  I apparently can’t go window shopping without buying the window.  Often I want to just go try on clothes because I like clothes.  I think to myself, “Don’t buy anything today!”  I can usually manage to not buy.  Unless it is jeans.  For some reason I have a hard time […]

Countdown to vacation

By on March 1, 2011

The hubby and I booked a vacation someplace warm…yeeehaw!  Of course, that means I will need to don a swimsuit.  Oh dear. I seem to have acquired a few extra pounds during this busy season at work due to lack of exercise and lack of self control in eating copious amounts of chocolate, cheese, and […]

Aging

By on January 21, 2011

I continue to struggle with getting older. I am, without a doubt, getting older.  I have wrinkles.  I have loose skin from my pregnancies and stretch marks.  I have varicose veins. I struggle to accept that this, right now, is as good as it is going to get.  I don’t want that.  I want my body […]

By on July 8, 2010

In short…well, no.  Have I bought them…yes.  I know a guy (a doctor) that is rumored to have $10K in designer jeans in his closet.  I think he has a problem, myself. 😉 Here is a post I wrote for my other blog relating my designer jeans buying experience… ***** Well, you know how us […]

The weight struggle, my continued blathering

By on July 2, 2010

Yes, I am going to talk about weight again, since it is on my mind ALL. THE. TIME. Why? Well, the last few years I have struggled with my weight.  I have always been relatively thin my whole life, with the exception of the stomach pooch.  It’s where I gain weight, it’s genetic and there […]

Being a mom and taking care of yourself

By on June 18, 2010

Before I got pregnant with #1 at the ripe old age of 29, I feared what having a baby would do to my body.  I watched a few of my cousins blossom from smallish sizes to plus sizes in the span of a few years upon having children.  I didn’t want that to happen to […]

The weight struggle

By on June 16, 2010

My aunt:  You sure look good!  You did a great job at losing the weight after you had kids.  How do you do it? Me:  Lots and lots of salads. My aunt: Oh. There is no magic metabolism pill once you reach a certain age.  It is work.  It sucks that you can’t eat like […]

My stylish adventures

By on March 18, 2010

Oh how I love clothes!  I grew up getting hand me downs from my sister and cousins, so new clothes were few and far between.  When I turned around 12, my grandmother taught me to sew which allowed new clothes to enter my closet at a greater pace.  I devoured all the sewing and fashion […]
