Some People Just Don’t Get It, Part Two

I’m a member of a few different message board sites.  I like the being able to connect with people in an old skool kind of way (remember BBS system of the late 80’s and early 90’s).  One of the message board sites I’m on has a rant section.
Recently, there was a rant by a person who [...]

Some People Just Don’t Get It

The other day I was looking at a website that sells articles for blog entries.  Not to buy any for this blog (I have a lot of ideas to write about, and if my ideas dry up, I’ll just go to a different updating schedule or close down the blog, but I don’t see that happening [...]

The Tyranny of Perfectionism — Friday Self Esteem

This is the post I was going to make on Friday, but was put off due to a migraine.  Thank you all for your patience with me.
On Wednesday, I had a delightful time making cookies with a very good freind of mine.   I was teaching her how to bake cookies.  Actually, as she’s a woman with children grown [...]

The Magic of Christmas Snow — Saturday Fluff

Friday’s post was circumvented by a migraine.  I will still post it either today or tomorrow, after I get done making more cookies.  Here’s Saturday’s fluff post though.
When I first met my husband Conall, he warned me that as long as I was with him, I’d never see another “white Christmas.” He was convinced he was [...]

Can anybody tell me?

This is a bonus post, because I’m genuinely curious here.
According to PopSeoul!, a twenty year old rapper Yoobin, of the group Wondergirls, is having troubles with her fans being upset with her for being fat.
Could somebody look at that picture and tell me who the alleged fat rapper is?  Because, I honestly don’t see any [...]

Forced time out

In the past week, I’ve made 4 batches of truffles for gifts, 5 batches of cookies, a cheesecake, dinner almost every night, and planned a holiday party for today.  On top of all that, I’ve also gone to a total of 5 different medical appointments (doctors and PT for both my Mother in Law and [...]

Friday Series — Self-Esteem

By now you’ve probably read about Oprah and her confession about gaining weight again.  Many commentators have already written about this.  In fact, so many have done so, I wasn’t going to say anything myself, but this ties into self-esteem Friday well.
Here’s a woman who has all the trappings of self-esteem.  As Kate Harding said, [...]
