O-P--O-S-S-U-M not Oh-F-*-C-K-A-O-P--O-S-S-U-M

My quickest route to work from my new home is heading over the river, a right at Cicott Park and following the river bottoms to Greenhill, and then finally a right on 26 into Montmorenci and onto 52W. I've noticed that while taking this way, it opens up many opportunities to see some of Gods majestic creatures...whether that be deer that jump out in front of your vehicle...snapping turtles that are not ninja-like at all...snakes that make a satisfactory crunch when you run them over. Yep...I see it all. Every once in a while I can scare the crap out of a group of snobbish bicycle riders that dominate the center of the road--well...because you know, they are the only humans who can wear spandex and NOT end up on "What Not To Wear".

However, by taking this route-- I am at the mercy of the cellular Gods to see if I will have service. So if I have any car issues or need to make an emergency call-- I'm screwed. I am always listening for the tell-tale sign of the wobbling tire...or smoke rising from my hood. Let's face it--I don't drive the nicest vehicles. I have looked and trudged through lots on a Saturday--tolerating cheesy salesmen (my Dad was one, I'm allowed to say that). But I just can't wrap my head around making those payments. My cars run, and when I'm lucky--everything works on them.

So today the Nissan and I are trucking through Greenhill--such a sleepy little town? Is it a real town? I'm not sure...all I know is they have one stop sign and I never see anyone moving outside their homes. The Nissan is blasting me with glorious cold air --see the Kevorkian mobile decided that air conditioning was a luxury I could learn to live without. Ummmm no, I'm a chubby ginger-not happening. Anyways...air going, radio cutting in and out (the antennae was ripped off at some point 5-7yrs ago-I think there is some other random metal stick shoved in its place. On a good day we can pick up Z96--or about 15 Christian channels, that seem to only come in clear.....andddd noooo I'm not taking that as a sign, so shut it.) and I feel a slight wobble in the front end.

I pull off to the side of the road into a grassy ditch area and get out to stare at my tires. I am one of those people that think my tires are flat CONSTANTLY. They always look on the edge of just deflating and leaving me stranded. So I am staring trying to convince myself that 'noooo the tires are fine Charisma--there is no way they are going to fly off your car as your going 60mph down 52W--and you will crash in a fiery heap...nope not gonna happen.'....gotta ask...am I the only one who's voice in their head is just as paranoid and neurotic as their real voice?

So I make the final decision that the tires are ok, and I go to walk back around the front of my car--and I see something out of the corner of my eye. Perched right next to my foot...enjoying some grass in the sunlight. My eyes say "awww little white kitten touching my flip flop.." butttttt my brain registers what it really is...and its a little white opossum touching my flip flop. I want to take a minute and apologize to anyone who may have had their windows open in Greenhill this morning--I am not even sure what tongues I was talking in...but it went something like "OH F*CK THATS A F*CK'N OPOSSUM-SON OF A B*TCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then I screamed...and then I punted it.

Here's the deal folks...when you are going to have to kick ass and fight for your life against wild animals--you may want to wear shoes, not flip flops. My right flip flop went airborne along with the opossum, and landed in the cornfield. I am now standing next to my car, with one leg lifted and no flip flop, doing the heebie jeebie dance--and muttering something like "it touched my foot, it touched my foot" over and over. Frik....I gotta go into the cornfield and find my flip flop--and NOT the opossum. :(

I tip toe and flip--with no flop on the other side into the field --cussing the whole time--looking for my BLACK flip flop. A big F*U to the makers of the wonderful movie "Children Of The Corn" ...I swore everytime I turned my head to the left or right I was going to come across some inbred killer child with the name Zedekiah. I see my flip flop however many yards into the field--and the damn opossum laying there.

Now...anyone who has read my history with lifeless animals already knows that damn thing is not dead (see post about deer -_-). So after learning that valuable lesson, I simply pluck my flip flop up and leave that devil-rat to lay there and die. And ok ok....it was a baby. But it doesn't change the fact that they are disgusting and need  to be exterminated. I put my flip flop on and haul ass out of the field!

I am running out of the field and of course before I can slow my fat ass down I run straight out of the field and onto the road in front of a Culligan truck. I would rather have a sex tape released online then have anyone see me run in flip flops...picture a jiggling Quasimodo from Hunchback of Notre Dame. I have pretty much used up my allotment of oxygen for that little jog out of my death trap...so there I am, hyperventilating on the side of the road, kinda needing to tinkle and in front of the Culligan man.

He pulls over and ask if I need any help...the look on his face is saying 'please God do not make me let this woman in my truck'...and I try to be all cool and I say "Ohhh no, I was just checking out the front end of my car. Its cool. Thanks."..............

He starts to roll away and points behind me and says "Well whatever you were doing in the corn with that baby opossum is your business, I think they are disgusting-have a good day!!!". I look down and the damn baby opossum is sitting by my damn foot and had apparently came running after me.

I left him/her on the side of the road...I even fought the urge not to kinda swerve as I drove away. They aren't so bad after all...

...................ok....who am I kidding, I kicked that nasty ass thing again into the field and hopped into my car. P.S. ....and yes...I am sitting at my desk with one damn flip flop :(

New Rule: Keep ass-kickin shoes in the vehicles at all times.

CAPTAINS LOG 01/26/2010 Old People Hate Me

RE-MIX FROM FACEBOOK...CAPTAINS LOG SERIES 01/26/2010 :)


My day started like any other...it started with the song "I Like Big Butts" blaring into my ear. My cell phone has decided that when it is charging it flips back and forth between vibrate and my ring tone...So at any time during the night I could be vibrated...or I can get jiggy wit' it.

So at approx 6:45am, the cell phone goes off and at that same time...my son--also known as Baby Huey--hurtles himself down the stairs, and is saying as he walks past my bed: "Hey--I have to be at the school at 7:30am today--ok?". Friggin awesome...

I trudge into Sophie's room--the whole time doing the "Pee Pee" dance, because Huey charged in to the bathroom before I could relieve my child-bearing bladder...Sophie is sprawled out like a crime scene victim in her bed...I flip the light on and say "Hey--Bubby has to be at school early, you need to hustle!"....she doesn’t even open her eyes... but instead she growls..."Momma...you said there would be a 2hr delay."...I advise her that I was wrong (ggrrr) and that she needs to get her scrawny ass moving...she then says "Call the school and tell them we need a delay, they will listen to you because your scary." Ok...thanks daughter...

I finally handle my business in the bathroom, and send Huey out to start the car...I am currently driving the NISSAN!--(say it like you are yelling GODZILLA!)....the NISSAN! is held together with duct tape and prayers...however...since the Kevorkian mobile decided that overdrive was just too stressful to go into, and may need a new transmission. So Huey goes out and about 5min later he comes in and says "The car won’t start."...I stare at him...its 7:21am...he repeats himself...I then say--"what did it sound like?"---side note: I have no friggin clue why I asked him this--I’m not a mechanic...but for some reason I thought I could hear his interpretation of the sounds the NISSAN! was making--and miraculously diagnosis the problem.

Huey takes his hand and acts like he is starting the car (I guess that is how he was going to be able to get into character)...and he sputters and grunts and does something like "Uuuu--uuuu--uuu". Yeh...no clue what that means. I throw him the keys to the van and tell him "ok...start the Kevorkian mobile, and lets roll out." The whole time I am in a panic, now...what did Willie tell me about the van not acting right in reverse?...We load up, and I shift it into reverse...no problems...I'm feeling like its going to be ok...So I drop off various kids to 2 different locations and head home...Willie will be home by then and can make the NISSAN! all better.

Willie comes home, and I tell him everything--he goes out and the frickin car starts...of course I'm an idiot, and damn my uterus for not allowing me to understand an engine...thank God it can find socks, lost keys and safety pins--since it doubles as a homing device for the family unit.

I leave, go to the IGA gas station--freeze my ta-tas off pumping gas...get my NECTAR OF THE GODS and head out...as soon as I get over the bridge at 55--heading towards Pine Village...a rusty old truck with an old man driving it, pulls out on front of me. I of course curse at him...but settle into a slow pace behind him and wait it out until I can pass. Welp--for anyone that drives that road--it ummm gets slick...so passing was not an option...

I follow his old ass to Pine Village, and I had already decided that today called for a donut or some kind of sugary lard based treat...he pulls in to the store when I do. I get out...he gets out... he has a cane and I feel kinda bad for all the names I called him while following him into town. We are both deciding on what treat to get, that will kill us fastest---and I go to walk up and I will be damned if he doesn’t cut in front of me...I take a step back...I mean, who am I to be mean to an old man right? I was raised right damnit...So I wait...and he counts out $0.89 in nickels and pennies to the guy behind the counter. Ok...so I may have been thinking about just kicking him for a minute--I CAN ADMIT THAT.

I leave, and since he has such a great head start on me---which even now I can’t figure out how his old ass got to his truck so fast as slippery as it was...but anyways...SURE enough--I am behind him again...heading towards West Lafayette. BIGGG SSSIIIGGHHH....

Now...this is where the story takes a turn...and I know you have all been waiting patiently for it...I get behind him and I was kinda close behind him--BECAUSE I was getting ready to pass him...and all of a sudden he slams on his brakes! I panic and slam on mine--we are now both sideways in the middle of the highway. I get out of my car, and slop thru the mush and snow to make sure our cars did not touch---and apparently he is a spry old man because he was out of his car as well.

I walk up to him and say "did an animal jump out? Are you ok?"...it’s natural for me to assume an animal jumps out--well...you all know why...anyways... he has his cane and looks at me and says "I slammed on my god-damn brakes to get you off my ass!!"....I would have loved to have seen my face...I’m sure it was one of "hey there little sweet old man..." then to "I will drop kick your ass in a minute fartknocker!"...

I look at him and say "well I am sorry—see, I have been stuck behind your truck for the last 30 minutes between Attica and West Lafayette--and I may have lost my patience and wanted to pass you." I didn’t even bring up the whole store incident...cuz you know--I’m trying not to work myself up into a lather. I say "Will you be able to get your car back on the highway properly?"...and he says "Why don’t you give me a shove with your car, since you like being on my ass.".......yeh.....

I’m not proud of what transpires after this point...I can say that now...but remember I was provoked--and anyone that knows me-- knows that if that would have been someone under the age of fricken 100 yrs old I would have gotten busy on their ass.

I walk over near him and say "Sir, there is no need to be rude...Im sorry...I will just get back in my car, and I will get ahead of you."....AND I SWEAR TO GOD...he takes his cane, and runs it across the top of his car and flings snow in my face. I am now standing there...with a wet head and smeared make up...So I look at him and say "if you f*cking fling snow at me one more time, I will throw your senile ass down and break your hip".....I know...(please pray for my soul)...he then says "when I was your age I was taught respect for my elders."....I then say...with a smile "When you were my age you were taught from cave drawings, so get your prehistoric ass in your car and we will call it a day."...I am pretty sure he muttered something about me being a "smartass bitch"...not sure--I was growling so loud I couldn’t hear well.

So---I turn around and walk away to my car...and he has now gotten his geriatric ass into the car and has the door open and looks back, just in time to see me fall and bust my ass on the concrete...I just laid there in the middle of 26, for a minute deciding how long it would take for a semi to just hit me...and I hear him cackle and cough, cackle and cough --and yells "Thank God you have a fat ass for that fall little girl!."....then he flings snow on me with his tires and leaves.

Wanna know what the f*ckin morale of this story is??? Why in this world is it ok for us to put down dogs when they get "too old"---but yet you think about euthanizing one little old man, and you’re all of a sudden Satan’s mistress?

I guess I wont be volunteering at the old folks home anytime soon...so instead I will sit here with my wet rear end...wet bra (he was surprisingly accurate when he flung that snow down my shirt)...and be glad of my youth--and my general sunny disposition--I mean there is NO WAY I will ever be a mean ass old woman...geesh...(quit laughing!)

A Glimspe Into My Normal World

RE-MIX FROM FACEBOOK 10/17/2011...FOR MY NON-FACEBOOK STALKERS ;-)

I receive a text from a number that I do not know…I don’t panic much because I have recently lost quite a bit of my contacts, but instead of saying “Who is this?”—which I feel like I am asking “Do you matter in my life” whenever I am forced to ask—I instead go along with the text in hopes that it will become evident who it is. BYW—this just happened approx 30 min ago.

Text: “Did you mean what you said Sat.?”

Me: “Sure, I always mean what I say-unfortunately-lol”

Text: “Do you think that’s a good idea?”

Me: “Ummm yeh, I usually make clear decisions.”

Text: “Does your family know?”

….now…I must admit I am starting to panic a little…the number kinda looks familiar, but thanks to damn cell phones we are all lucky to even know 9-1-1.  I remember the days of having to memorize everyone in my life full phone numbers and THEN still dial it by hand on a rotary phone…

Me: “Do you think I should tell them?”

Text: “Well yeh, it’s a pretty big decision”

…ok…now this feels like a soap opera…I cant wait for the next text—to find out what big decision I am about to make in my pseudo life! Yay me!

Me: “Ok, when do you think I should tell them?”

Text: “Well they are going to know something isn’t right, come on!!!!”

PAUSE…..

Me: “Hmmmm maybe tonight?”

Text: “Ok well text me and let me know how it goes!”

Me: “Ok, I will!”….I then go about my business, thinking “well that was a nice break from reality”…

15 min later…from same number…which is a Chicago area # I now know.

Text: “I heard its painful, so maybe you will get a sympathy vote from them…lolz…anyways, text me later, I will continue my research—I still don’t know how they take that little bit of skin and make it into a penis.”

I…swear…to…God.

Sigh…so the moral of this story is: Don’t be afraid to ask “Who is this??”…and also apparently my new name will be Charles soon.

I've Got Big Balls.

Wowser...I haven't blogged since Feb of 2011? I apologize my faithful stalkers and creepers...I am going to try and do better! I don't have anything specific to rant about today...just some curious thoughts that have been rolling around in my head, and trying to leap from my lips--but will settle for my fingertips.

I know I have been guilty time and time again of poor body image... after all I am a female. Duh. I try to keep my insecurities from pouring over onto my very impressionable young daughter. Sophie is the EXACT opposite of me..in fact she is everything I wanted to be when I was her age. She is long legged, clear skin, blue eyed, thin, and well..let's face it--she's nicer then I have ever been in my life. I often just watch her skip around the house in a fuzzy, pink, happy cloud of happiness. She is a pixie. I was not like that. I was short, chubby, freckled, and didnt like my life. I told her this once--trying to explain to her to never feel less then awesome--to strive not for perfection, but for peace.  She found it hilarious that I was opposite of her when I was her age. She said all she ever hears is "you look so much like your mother". That made me think of how warped our body image and what we actually see as women.

A woman will be married to a man for 20+ years and that man can probably count on one hand how many times he has seen his wife naked, up right, and in broad daylight. The man has seen her give birth, have the flu and if he is lucky enough--get a couple cocktails in her and do freaky stuff...yet...she will not allow her body to be seen by him, unless under certain circumstances.  It is no wonder men all think we look better on our backs--its all they ever see! Now here is where I crack up...a man however---will parade around completely naked, in the day light--and if you let him--in front of the window that is across the street from the church -_-. They will helicopter, wiggle and strut like we are lucky to have seen such a physique! WHERE IN THE HELL DID THEY GET THAT KIND OF CONFIDENCE??? Do you realize if we had half of that swagger and gumption -- we wouldn't have needed those "feminist rights".  I personally have to look away when it has happened to me...I am a worrier by nature--and when that thing is parading around--all I can think about is "How do they sit down?"..."Don't let the cat see it"..."They really need to make bras for the back-up dancers".  I cant imagine a time where I waltz nude, in the middle of the day, in front of a male and give him that smile that says "Yep...allllllll this is yours, now watch--I'm going to do jumping jacks and laugh while my parts jiggle."

Women need to really start thinking like a man when it comes to this topic...we need to act like we have balls.  There I said it. THAT has to be where the confidence comes from? So from now on my female friends when you are down and out, hate the image in the mirror, or you God forbid arent a Size 0 like in the magazines...get your balls out. Lord knows we have been carrying enough around of them in our purses, we might as well put them to use.

For my male readers...you keep doing your thing...we arent hatin' on ya...I wish I could be so entertained by my own body. Yes...yes I know...you guys ARE entertained by OUR bodies.  Geesh....(see ladies, no matter what--no matter the size--shape--color--or whatever your mental hang ups are--your man will ALWAYS think your body is Disneyland ;-)

If Your Happy And You Know It...Never Mind.

As I near my "forever birthday" as I like to call it... I have been reflecting about where I have came from, what I aim to be, and what defines me.  I could fill a novel with my adventures-and I have...more the question would be, would anyone wanna read it?

I turn 39yrs old Saturday... I could be in denial slightly.  How the hell did I get to this age? Where did the time go? I've managed to only attend ONE class reunion--or the "Bald & The Bloated" ...just one...were there others?-you know...to warn me that I was getting older?   I feel like I have accomplished nothing... I've manged to have several bad jobs, bad credit and even two bad marriages...that's gotta be a record somewhere.  Who's a winner?! Charisma is a winner!

I think what I have concluded after 39yrs on this rock, is the following: quit trying to be HAPPY...I want content.  To constantly search for happiness is exhausting and it suggests that the wonderful shiny, happy feeling can also "come down"...and then where are you?  Content, now that is a movement I can get behind...don't confuse content with mediocrity...there is a difference. Think of a kitten soaking up sun on a windowsill...think of a bumblebee landing on each flower, for just a minute-and then moving on....think of that moment when you start to drift to sleep...ahhh content.


I've had a lot of chaos in my life...events that defined who I am-whether I wanted it to or not.  I've been crazy happy--so happy that I couldn't breathe...and like a fickle friend--happiness leaves me...and the let down begins.  Like an addict I am searching again...happy...happy... HAPPY.  Do you find happiness in the simple things?  Do you find happiness in your children?  Do you find happiness in your mate?  Bad news: simple things are great, and we can all be a martyr and talk about how much we love them--but do we slow down? Nope.  Your children will grow, and they will leave...your left staring at papermache art, and pottery for cigarette butts-when you don't smoke.  God forbid--never find happiness in your mate...why? Because they are HUMAN as well...and they will let you down...and your happy will falter.

So I am starting a new stage in my life of finding contentment in my life...the little things in my life make me content- I enjoy the quiet moments when I can do what I want, and nobody "needs" me.  My children make me content...I can mold them into these little creatures--and thrust them out into the world with all the knowledge I have, all the morals I wish to instill...and I am content in knowing--they will be just fine.  I have yet to master contentment with a mate...and maybe I AM content because I KNOW this--I'm not out hunting feverishly for that happy, perfect relationship...I am content with loving me-whether a man does or not.

So if your content and you know it--clap your hands...hell scream it from the rooftops. Be careful of that "happy high"...don't put a price on it, don't sell your soul for it, and finally don't DEFINE yourself by the happiness of others. When someone says "yeh but are you happy?"...I'm going to blind them with a smile, a twinkle in my eye and say "No, I am content...its so wonderful, I haven't had to take a hit off the happy pipe in days...I just breathe it in...content."

Hmmm 39yrs old...and I am content.

REMIX: As Seen On FB 11/04/09- For My Non-FB Friends :)

As I prepare for the animal version of my 12 Randomly Planned Acts Of Kindness...I am sharing an "incident" that occurred 11/04/09...it has become some what of a cult hit.  However I suspect it is more about the people that truly know me--can picture this completely. I am a dork...true story. So this is for everyone that I am NOT friends with on FB...Enjoy! PS~ Sorry in advance for the profanity, I was a little traumatized when I wrote this :)

As most of you know, I have long suspected that I am the Dr. Kevorkian of the animal world...little squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and such love to plant their asses in front of my vehicles and have me end their little lives....as most of you know...I have a phobia of farm animals, big tongued cows, horses ready to trample...and goats...well goats are the devils kittens--no other way to explain that....

So today I am doing my drive into West Lafayette from Attica, through Pine Village and 26W....I am sipping on my delicious fountain Coke and jamming to some 93.5....I was at the point on 26W where you can turn right and go to Green Hill, or left and go to Otterbein...where the Road Closed sign is (that I completely ignore every morning)...and then it happened....

A perfectly healthy deer comes springing onto the road---I had one of those moments right before it hit my right front side--"Man that f*cker is hauling ass"....ummmm...so I don’t have reflexes like a ninja ok?...anyways...I "clip" it with my right headlight area...it does the good ole Stop Drop And Roll into the field....

I get out of the van--shaking and furious...muttering "Stupid damn animals!!!"....I look and there is NO DAMAGE to the van...nothing...not even a clump of fur...nada, nothing. So then I smile, and think "Sh*t Charisma, its all good"....then I turn my head and look into the field...and it is laying there on its side...not moving...nada, nothing.

I was pretty sure there is some "official" number you are suppose to call when you hit a deer...but I have only hit one before this...and my ex husband made me drive back to where it was, placed its dead, bleeding carcass on the hood of my car--where he also rode--so that he could eat it...Ummm in my world that falls under "road kill"...don’t care what you say.

I sit in the van staring out into the field, trying to figure out who the hell I would call...and I swear I see it's little foot move...Now...this is where the story takes a sketchy turn....for some reason--and I still do not know why...I think I need to get out, trudge into the field and "check out the deer"....What the hell I think I am going to do with it---I don’t know...have a I suddenly developed healing hands??? I am after all Kevorkian not friggin Doolittle.

I go out to the field, and I am talking under my breath and saying soothing things...cuz you know deer like that (???)...."Hey little buddy....sorry didn’t mean to clip ya....my van is fine, you should be fine too...you alright Bambi?"....Now...once again...I must reiterate...I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I WAS THINKING...I reach down and get about an inch from touching it....its eyes have been open this whole time--and no breathing that I can see....

AND THAT SON OF A (BEEP!) SHOOTS UP LIKE IT IS CARRYING THE DAMN OLYMPIC TORCH IN ITS HOOF AND IS GOING FOR GOLD!!!!....it didn’t fart, wheeze or cough when it took off...meanwhile I am pretty sure I did all of those things--and I hit the ground like I had been shot.

I am now laying on my back...in a cornfield...pretty sure I pissed myself a little...screaming obscenities at the runaway deer...traffic on 26W is driving by....I lay there for maybe 5minutes...because I am old, and out of shape and I just know I am going to have a heart attack...then it hits me--- It was a decoy...the other deer’s are waiting in the other part of the cornfield that has not been plowed...and they are hungry for stupid human today....that gets me off my back.

As I am heaving myself up and shaking the various corn parts off of me...I see a semi loaded with grain, pull up to my van....I mean...really?...I am sure I looked completely deranged cussing, and stomping through the field...I had already decided that if God wanted to use my vehicle as the Kevorkian-Mobile...then it was possessed and nothing could destroy it--I was going to get in it, drive tthrough that field and hit that stupid deer again--and mean it this time!

The driver leans out his window and says (with a mouthful of SKOAL) "You got some troubles?"....I start giggling, and it sounded crazy even in my own ears...I say to him "You would not believe it if I told you."....he then says...."Well if you’re going to pull over to piss, you should try further down the field where it ain't plowed honey."...I look at him all indignant and say "I was NOT pissing..I was laying down thank you very much!!!"....then I stomp to my van and get in.

Roysdon/Struthers family eating ALOT of deer this year...even if I have to go off road to get me one.

Have a great day everyone....

Me, Myself & My Double Chin

 I started my diet today and have already been at my wits end about how to choose food correctly.  If I had my way I wouldn't eat at all...but apparently that isn't healthy.  People will tell you not to starve yourself, it will mess up your metabolism...Hmmm well models don't eat--they look like they survive on cigarettes and Spearmint gum.  My metabolism has been in a feud with my body since I was 10yrs old--and it is winning.

I have always said I am the heaviest anorexic you will ever meet.  It is a daily battle for me to eat 3 meals a day...I am always thinking "if I eat that much--can you only imagine how huge I would be?!".  I did the yo-yo dieting as a teenager.  My Mom was always on some kind of diet, and hell- I considered her thin, so if she was worried--then I better be damn well scared to death of my weight!  Mom and I have discussed this a lot...because now I have a daughter who is considered UNDERWEIGHT. Are you serious? I have learned that there is just as much pressure to STAY thin as there is to LOSE the weight.  My daughter has made her "thinness" become part of who she is....this makes me sad.  So I know I must stop the cycle of unhealthy eating habits now, before another generation is lost to it.  I think this is an extremely common occurrence in mother/daughter relationships. As she has grown up I have thought to myself : "Who is this long legged, thin blonde? Surely there is a tall, thin, blonde woman looking down at a short chubby redheaded child thinking the same thing."...was there a switch at delivery?

The only loves of my life besides my kids? Ohhh you know, the usual suspects--carb, carb, and more carbs.  I'm not even an Equal Opportunity Eater--I stick with the whites...bread, potatoes, pasta.  I snub my nose at green, brown and bright food...if its not drenched in sauce or butter--well quite frankly it is below me...I'm a food snob.

There will be some casualties with this diet...I will most likely be snappy...I will most likely binge...and if I can make it happen--it will be the death of my double chin. I lost approx 3-4lbs in boob alone approx. 3yrs ago, I thought "wow I can wear tank tops now and not look like a blow up doll!"....nope...I got fat. The Boob-To-Belly Ratio as I like to call it, was gone...when you walk around with 38DDD's like I did--that waist always looks thin...but now I see belly. Sigh...

So I am sure I will continue to write about this struggle...I have done all the diets, pills, work outs...but at the end of the day--I eat my feelings...and well...they are delicious :) I need to close for now, there is a big 'ole rice cake calling my name...I love those foam peanuts, I'm sure it is going to taste very similar. Yay me!
