Yes, People. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. Good ole Sweet Talking Ken could be an empowering toy if utilized in the CORRECT fashion as a self-esteem booster Some may call it "caving" (I did, indeed, purchase S.T.Ken), but Id beg to differ as I BOUGHT HIM FOR ME. (Ill let that statement sink in) Until my esteem is back where it belongs SWEET TALK AS *I* SAY Ken shall be ... Continue Reading
Sweet Talking Ken
(please to excuse the blurry snapped in aisles photo) The other day when I was shopping with the Tornado I got sick and tired of her lollygagging and plunged on ahead she ambled down the toy aisle and became entirely riveted by a Ken doll. Mama!! Look! She shouted. It’s super cool! It’s a talking Ken guy!! Seeing as she’s a Barbie-girl (to my chagrin) & rarely interested in Ken my ... Continue Reading

Avoiding the train wreck.
I have well engrained habits of no-breakfast-no-movement-no-water days fueled by caffeinated-whacked-out-blood-sugar-and-adrenaline. And I can tell you that I was a wreck - a train wreck actually. But, I'm happy to report that eating this elephant, one tiny bite at a time, has resulted overall in a MONUMENTAL shift in my lifestyle. Little by little. A shift here and there counts. Big ...

A story of compulsive overexercise.
Once upon a time there was a Misfit Queen and her lovely Tornado of a Princess. Each morning, as they'd ride their carriage through town toward the local school house, they'd spy a young woman walking on the side of the road. Head tucked, shoulders slumped, arms swinging walking. The Queen noticed the young lady immediately and took note of how frequently and vigorously she walked. One ... Continue Reading
Four on a Friday (VEGAS edition)
Because really what says VEGAS more than TUTUS? By the time you read this Ill be happily on a plane, snuggled with my Kindle, and heading toward Las Vegas. I could do an entire series of posts about how much I adore flying. The abdication of control. The navigation resting on someone elses shoulders. The slice of (relative) silence in an otherwise harried world. The fact ... Continue Reading
Yoga for all sizes.
It’s the third Friday of the month and you’re out for cocktails with the usual group. Early into the evening you notice one of your friends has lost some weight and initiated a self imposed one drink limit. You ask what’s up. Her eyes light up as she begins to eagerly espouse the benefits of yoga. You spin the conversation over to a recent episode of Jersey Shore as quickly as ...

Ahhh Im back to MUSTurbating

I must get to the Tornado's school and volunteer once a week. I must try a new vegetable each week so that Im role modeling adventurous eating for the child hell AND Ren Man but thats a whole 'nother blog ... Continue Reading
