Play this if you want a lovely accompaniment to my post and to remember just how awesome the 80s were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJcihcAR0q4 Some readers who have been around here from the beginning may recall that I had to stop going to the doctor in 2011 because she kept telling me that I was fat and had …
I am working on a longer post for tomorrow so I'm being lazy for today. I posted this back in January when only people who shared DNA with me were reading this blog. And it is along the same lines of the post last week about how boring I am. So if you enjoy reading …
Years ago, March 2001 to be exact, Mitch (my ex-husband) and I went to a dinner party. A dinner party that I will never forget. A dinner party that could have been in a movie but I would have seen it and thought, "no one would really behave like that." Back in 2001, our girls …
For you non-Red Raiders, this blog's title is an actual line from the Colgate Alma Mater composed in 1902. And known for making incoming freshman (freshpeople, freshpersons) snicker every September.

Nor is this a dieting post about the Hunger Games like you're dieting so you're really hungry. I haven't seen the Hunger Games. Annie saw the movie on opening night with a bunch of her friends. The movie started at midnight, they had already purchased the tickets, yet she sat in a theater seat for …
Last night Deren the Coordinated and I went out to dinner at the Blue Moon in Northwest Portland. I had a couple of glasses of wine and a Communication Breakdown Burger and fries and some of Deren's fries. I've lost 10 lbs. I must reward myself. Portland had a touch of spring weather yesterday and …
When I was in college, I would fly between the West and East Coasts through Canada. My father's family is Canadian and they would give us money for Christmas, birthdays, etc. The exchange rate was so crappy that my dad kept the money in Canada and would use it to buy me plane tickets. So …
I've been trying a couple of different topics, a couple of different approaches, made a list, actually did some work, all in an attempt to think of something to write here. This is my weight loss blog. I owe my domestic and international readership wit and insight regarding my weight loss adventure. I got nothin'. …
When the fall came, it was unexpected, violent and lasting. It began this past Wednesday. I had had my girls for a week straight, which is fine. I love them and we have fun, but they are 12 and 14 and that’s a lot of teenage estrogen-driven angst in one house for one week. I got home from …
