I think this was payback for something I did as a child.

See this? Cute right? Little girl loves her stuffed Christmas kitty. My Mom gave it to Abby yesterday after we spent some time at their house and Abby was playing with it and fell in love with it. How nice of Grandma to send her home with a new toy, right? Not if you have [...]

Allison Janney – switched at birth?

allison janney

“Oh no, we forgot Allison Janney!” came a cry from the back seat.  “Can we go back to our house and get her?” We were 20 minutes into a 30 minute drive to the mall when Abby realized she forgot Allison Janney. Not THE Allison Janney but a reasonable facsimile. A stuffed giraffe. My husband [...]

My first time. Dammit.

I made it to 38 without ever having this happen to me. It’s not a big deal really, it probably happens to most people a few times in their life. But I was minding my own business.  Not hurting anyone.  Simply cutting the grass. Then all of a sudden I felt it on my neck…the [...]

I’m going to be 40.

palm reading

In 2 years. Today I turned 38 29. I’d like to believe that like wine, we get better with age. When I was in New Orleans at Bloggers on Bourbon, I had a palm reading done in Jackson Square.  In front of the Cathedral.  Yeah.  Kind of odd but I went for it anyway. I [...]

1 year and 43 lbs later….

40 pounds

I spent some time yesterday uploading my photos from Bloggers On Bourbon, putting up my first post about the event and looking at other people’s photos.  At one point I ended up looking at the Flickr Photostream from last year at this time at Blogher.  I knew I had lost a lot of weight since [...]

You can call me grandma…

We live in a semi-rural area and I like it that way.  Yes, you see some ODD things that in many ways would be considered backwards, tacky or just plain hillbilly.   But I’ll take a hillbilly over a gang-banger any day of the week. Since our little town is surrounded by farms, we have some [...]

7 day Cabbage Soup Diet results: Does it really work?

One week ago, Trisha and I began an experiment.  We both wanted to lose a little bit of weight and decided to try the Cabbage Soup Diet that promises up to 10 lbs of weight lost in 7 days. The menu was no fun.  You can eat unlimited cabbage soup and each day had a [...]

Cabbage Soup Diet – day 5: I lost 41.6 lbs

…well, I did.  Total.  In the last year. My scale tells me 3 things each day, my current weight, the amount I’ve lost since I last weighed myself AND my total weight loss since I began my weight loss journey. I often forget about that big number in the corner – and today I noticed [...]

Cabbage Soup Diet – day 4: ketchup is like candy

ketchup

I don’t have much to say about day 3 yesterday.  I walked through much of it cranky and sort of out of it.  I really think most of it had to do with the extreme discomfort of my 30 or so mosquito bites that continue to be persistently itchy. I didn’t eat much, I mostly [...]
