Recently I went shopping for some special occasion outfits.  I dressed up because I thought it might help salvage my dignity in case I didn’t find anything flattering to buy.

I’ve come to the conclusion that a tunic dress is not the style for me…unless I want to look like a snake that swallowed a rat.

Baby doll dresses make me look like I’m having a baby.

So I decided to take my mom up on her suggestion and try on today’s version of a corset to help me slim the appearance of my mid-section.  Have you ever watched a balloon artist?  That’s what I looked like – a human balloon squeezed tightly in the middle.

Lisa is one of my favorite authors. She makes me laugh out loud in the middle of the night when I get her articles. My family looks at me like I’m crazier than normal if they happen to be up when I’m reading them. She’s so true to life and putting to words what we all are going through. She has a book of her compilations that she is giving all the profits away to charity. So check out the link at the end if you are interested in buying her complete book.

Jeans that Fit

I subscribe to a very funny and light-hearted weekly column from Jelly Mom. She is hilarious and this weeks was about weight loss, so I just had to post. Most of the time I’m laughing out loud when I read these.

I read somewhere recently that you burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. So I thought, what if I slept on the couch with the television on? Surely, I would burn even more calories that way.

My husband had to burst my bubble.
