I’m working on another video project these days so I have nothing to say at the moment. But I will leave you with this riotous quote for today. It comes from this post over at Mommy Needs a Cocktail.
“When given an opportunity, a woman will lie about her weight. And I have only two […]

Last Thursday I was discouraged because I hadn’t lost any weight. I wasn’t too worried about it because I knew I had splurged a little on Mother’s Day when a few men made their wives a fantastically decadent brunch complete with Mimosa’s. Also, I ate my gift of chocolate covered raisins liberally (my […]

As predicted, you have not heard from me for awhile. Last night I chose to read some of the blogs in my RSS reader and not watch commercials. The night before that I took a hot bath with lavender oil and read a book. During the day I’m trying to stay busy […]

How am I supposed to get anything done anymore with all the commercials eliminated? When do I go to the bathroom? Grab a snack? Switch over the laundry?
When do I read the next chapter? The next blog? Or write my next post for crying out loud?
I can’t get anything done when compelled to fast […]

I grew up in Minnesota, the Land-O-Lakes, Dairy Country, and neighbor to the Wisconsin Cheese Heads. Asking me to cut down on my cheese consumption is like asking a Packer fan to hug a Viking.
It’s not going to happen.
So in order to accommodate my need for cheese AND my desire to continue the decline […]

Check this out, girlfriend! Go ahead, click on that picture to get a GOOD LOOK at the housewife who let herself go. This is my ‘before’ picture, and sweet moses I hope there will be an ‘after.’
(And while you’re gawking, take a look at those saggy jugs! Aren’t they horrible? […]

After tweaking with my weekly routine a little I think I finally found a groove for getting to the gym. I’m getting there three times a week, all at different times of the day, which is fantastic for my love people-watching.
I think my favorite time of the day is on Mondays when […]

This was the week I was to start back up at the gym. I even worked it into my calendar so I wouldn’t be tempted to brush it off. But alas, my children both came down with congested, croup-y coughs last night making me unable to leave them in the gym’s childcare room.
But […]

Oh, really. Why do I continue to do this to myself?
Today I went shopping for an outfit to wear to a holiday party we are attending on Saturday. A holiday party in which I will be meeting EVERYONE for the first time. A holiday party I am really looking forward to except that I feel […]

I’ve been moving slow this week. Bryan was gone all weekend at a geek thing so Ruthie and I spent a lot of time in our pajamas. And today I don’t have a car to go anywhere, so once again we are still in our pajamas.
It seems I’m becoming That Wife who […]

The other day I dropped in to the DMV to renew my driver’s license thanks to the lovely bank teller who informed me that my ID had expired a month ago and I’m sorry very much that I can’t give you twenty of your own dollars because an expired ID renders your existence to the […]

Because I’ve tried to turn off the TV and do more writing and reading I’ve been a little out of the loop regarding current events. Apparently the Boeing machinists strike has ended, Peter Jennings died, and Northwest Airlines has gone bankrupt.
These days I rely on the gossip magazines at the gym to keep me informed […]

I love the fitness club I go to. Aside from the fact that it’s a women’s only club (no sweaty jocks), normal people work out there.
I don’t like working out next to women with tight butts who eat carrot sticks all day long. I much prefer the women who, like me, just need […]
