This week has been hard. It started with an orgasmic display at JoJo’s Pizza involving barbecue chicken thin crust. I would argue that I ate all of my flex points in one glorious sitting.
But last night, my friends, last night. My husband went with quickie dinner prep and made frozen chicken cheese quesadillas for the kids. [...]

The LH and I went to see a movie this weekend. Appaloosa…starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson. I’ll get to that in a minute. The really important thing was, as always, figuring out what to wear.
I’ve lost about three pounds since starting Weight Watchers Online two weeks ago. I’ll take it. I decided jeans and a [...]

For those of you just joining us…Monday I was ranting about how I hate my hair.
I still hate my hair.
But…I am on day 3 since rejoining Weight Watchers and so far so good. I damn well better lose a pound or 2 this week though or there will be Honeybuns to scarf.
Anyway…I attempted to use [...]

Actual scene between Loser Husband (LH) and me…whilst getting ready for the (no joke) 11th family kid birthday party in the month of September (note to family members…quit having unprotected sex on New Year’s Eve!)
The Set Up: I have nothing to wear. My fat clothes are tight on me and it’s too depressing to buy bigger fat [...]

Dear Person Who Runs My Department Office:
Hi!
I’m so happy to be back from a long summer break. I’m happy to see your smiling face, typing away. I’m not even annoyed anymore that despite three years of my walking into the office, cheerily saying good morning and giving you flowers at Christmas…you still ask me what my [...]

First, a little backstory. Our longtime faithful readers may recall me discussing my loser husband (let’s just call him lh). He’s a loser in a “Biggest Loser” kind of way. As in, if he wants to drop eight pounds, he just eats carrots instead of chips for ten days.
I hate that.
Meanwhile, he snapped this picture [...]

Oh…the title. Yeah, see, I’m blog-blocked (more on that in a minute). Kiki says we get more hits from “high search” terms. Fact: google people are really interested in Patricia Heaton’s belly button and whether a spray tan will make them fat (and also big Polish sausages, and how many WW points are in lint…no [...]

Here’s a Greta’s Greatest Hits from April of ‘08 (on account of I had a total blog-noonan this morning and couldn’t come up with something…it could happen to anyone right?)
Here she is. My bathroom scale. I call her Low-la.
I think it’s ironic, like calling a bald man curly. Low-la hates me actually. Over the years [...]

Happy Monday morning!!!!
I’m back and suffering from serious post-vacation reentry syndrome. I’ve missed you all terribly. We had a marvelous time and my vacation stats are as follows:
* went without makeup or hair product for 7 days and as far as I know, none of my family members or wildlife were traumatized by this (mercifully, [...]

So it’s low carb. DAM -MIT!!!
Except I’ve been religiously low carb for 9 days. I’ve lost 5 pounds. We leave for the lake in 3 days. But it’s going to be ok right? It’s just the four of us. Me, my husband and the kids. We’re cooking everything we eat. It won’t be like last year. [...]

The other day I posted about my tips for dealing with those extra pounds that I was planning to lose before vacation, but didn’t. Among other things, I ordered new bathing suits online. Well…they came today.
This one was a bust, I’m afraid. I dunno, it just didn’t hold me in like I was hoping and [...]

Yesterday, I posted about The Summer ‘08 Great Closet Purge. As I suspected, we all have that one dress/pair of jeans/mini skirt/bikini that we hang on to year after year, thinking maybe just maybe someday…
Well, in my case, I realized that the fall-out from my closet purge(not to mention the reason why I don’t fit in [...]

It’s inevitable.
Every year, sometimes twice a year I feel a swelling unease that consumes my thoughts to a point I can’t bear. Until it finally crescendoes into day long, frenzied closet/drawer purge.
Gah!
It happened this weekend. When it was over, I had six yard bags filled to the brim. They are stacked in my dining room awaiting transport to [...]
