Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful

It's true.  I am beautiful.  It's a curse.  But please don't hate me.  Do you promise?  Ok.

I have zero stretch mark on my belly.  I really don't.  I do, however, have them on my thighs and chest.  Nursing causes you have an instant boob job.  I was always amazed at just how ginormous they got.  But the end result is...stretched beyond capacity.

I haven't had any plastic surgery.  I know it is so hard to believe. 

I am six feet tall.  Please don't hate me.  I have to wear a 10W shoe!  Practically impossible to find.

I once weighed 123.  Once.  I was too skinny.  I weigh more than that now.  Much more.  I don't want or need to weigh that again.  Ever.

When I weighed 123, I was a size 5.  I'm not a size 5 anymore.  And I am okay with that.  I am heading into a 14.  Much more realistic.

Thank you for not hating me....you don't hate me right?  Whew!  Have a wonderful weekend!  You are all beautiful!

Well, I do hate you a little bit, but only because you are a size 14. Right now I am hoovering around 16, but 14 is pretty much as skinny as I ever get :) Holy moly-123 and six feet tall? Skinny skinny minny. We should go shoe shopping together-if they don't have what we want, we can intimidate the tiny salesman with our glamazon size until he finds what we need :)

No fair no stretch marks on your tummy! Mine is ruined for life.

6 ft - nice! I love height! Everyone in my family is tall except me. I don't hate you but 123was too skinny, like "heroin chic" models, which is really not chic.
The only thing I have is what I don't - stretch marks of any kind. The doc said that's more hereditary - got mom's height and lack of stretch marks. I'll take it!

You are beautiful, and I am so jealous! I wish I felt beautiful about myself! I'm almost 6ft and was a size 5 once, but I wouldn't mind being that size again. But I love food too much! Oh well!

I loved you from day one in theater class. :) You were bold, energetic, confident; everything I wanted to be. I'd look up to you even if you were three feet tall.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
