Most people would love not being able to do anything (write, paint, type, clean, etc.) for seven days I however do not. The pain in the arm has been quite sufficient and if it hasn’t hurt it was because of the painkillers. I have been beyond bored and also got into the Halloween Candy and … Continue reading

I’m a klutz…
So I have been working at an insane pace on Christmas ornaments and on a great new idea for 2014 only to have everything stop. I washed and waxed the kitchen floor the other day thinking holidays are coming and it needed to be done. Yesterday I went in the kitchen to grab the reservations … Continue reading
My Excuse…

Well it is October and I feel a tad overwhelmed that the holidays are almost here. I have been in a crazy high gear since school started, I also applied for my first job since 2004, that I didn’t get.

Confessions of a Former Big Girl – A Year Later
It has been close to a year since I have written about my weight, weight problems, leaving some people to wonder if I have fallen off the wagon.
