Whatchu gon' do with all that junk inside yo trunk?

OK let's talk about athletic gear for a second. I don't know about you guys, but there are all kinds of things I don't want showing when I'm working out: namely my entire body. 



But seriously, I need to find clothes that are flattering *enough* so that I don't feel self-conscious. I know, I know- stop caring about how you look at the gym, blah blah blah. Buuuut if I'm already not feeling so hot about being there, a good set of clothes generally seems to help. 

Obviously by "good set of clothes", sometimes I just mean the baggiest t-shirt I can find and some "yoga" pants that have yet to see the inside of a yoga studio. 

I have this fabulous friend Pamela who founded an "independent film and theater company where all forms improvisation combine to create exciting… performance art experiences"- 4&9 Productions. Fancy, n'est-ce pas? As if she wasn't cool enough, she's opened a Teespring shop to sell some quippy workout t-shirts. 

Soooo when said fabulous friend contacted me and asked me to post a link to these flipping awesome shirts, I had to oblige. I love her. I love their mission. I. Love. These. Shirts. 

It also comes in white and royal blue. Ooooo Aaaahhhh
How cute are these?!! As someone who runs so slow that it's often mistaken for an actual crawl, these shirts excite and make me happy. Mostly because it gives me hope that maybe someone, someday will actually read this shirt… As I pass them. 

Hopefully not because I've given up and am lying in a ditch, but given how I feel about running, that's not out of the realm of possibility. ;-) 

But I digress... These shirts also come in a variety of sizes which I loooove, because Lord knows that all of this jelly can't be contained in just any ole' t-shirt. 

I believe in me. And I believe in this shirt. 

What's a blog post without a Nic Cage unibrow??
SO. Go buy a fabulous shirt, inspire yourself to move, and support my wonderful friend with her fantastic company. It's a trifecta of great reasons to do a little shopping. 

OH! In case you're not familiar with Teespring, you actually "reserve" a shirt until the quota is met, and in this case they need 3 more shirts. That's it. Just 3. Once the quota is met, they charge your card and send your awesome shirt!

Maybe we could all be dorks and take pics of us wearing our matching shirts. =P

Shame Eating

I found the above image on the interwebs and it always makes me laugh. All.the.time. It's kinda true though, right? IF you've ever had any kind of food addiction then you know the sweet sweet embrace of "one more" handful of kettle corn (ahem), or "one more" piece of bread, or whatever . I was joking with my co-worker that I might as well be shame eating out of the Costco-sized bag of Kettle corn on my counter in the dark, licking the sweet and salty remnants off my fingers. That I can't be trusted alone with it. That I grab a bigger-than-small bowl and PILE it up, lamenting the few rogue pieces that make it to the floor. Another colleague overheard us and said she used to do that with angel food cake. She would sit it on the passenger side and just drive, picking at the fluffy confection. I know a girl who could knock out an entire family size container of Sara Lee pound cake. So friends, those are a few confessions. Using the powers of anonym

He Likes Big Butts and He Cannot Lie!

Do I have any fellow big booty girls in the audience? Or I suppose big booty brothers? Maybe? Anywho. I've had a rather prodigious posterior for my entire life. I think part of it is that I've always been a fat kid, and part of it is probably genetics. Even when I lost weight in high school, it was still pretty hefty. In fact, I recall walking with a friend of mine and hearing 2 guys behind us talking. "Look at that fat a**", his friend said "where" and the other guy said "the one on the right". I was, of course, the girl on the right. It's a moment that's resonated within me for a long time. That happened in probably 2003 while I was a young 16 year old, and 10 years later it's still a moment that occasionally wraps me up in it's insecure and hateful arms. It didn't help that a year or so later I was in a parking lot with friends, feeling cute in a spaghetti string tank top and jeans, and a complete stranger  drove by

This post was initially written on March 29, 2021.  Going through infertility of any kind is so unbearably hard. I can't speak to everyone's experience, but as a couple who's had "unexplained infertility", it feels like perpetual waves of grief.  It feels like hopelessness. It feels like everyone's getting what you so desperately want while you sit there with empty arms. It feels like constant heartbreak seeing joyful posts of new pregnancies. It feels like isolation because you turn down invitations to showers and parties, for fear you won't be able to not  cry.  It feels like you're being punished because biologically nothing is wrong but you still don't have a baby. This has been our reality for the last 3 years and 7 months. Being open about our journey has been so rewarding but now it's taken the hard turn. I have to tell the sweet women I've been commiserating with that my turn is here. I'm pregnant.  Of course I know exactly what
