In one week we are moving. ONE WEEK. Oh my goddess. It's hard to believe but it's almost finally here! Last week was very stressful, hence the light posting. My mom came by because I was in a slump and she helped me pack about 80% of my stuff in two …
Before I moved out of my parent's home back in the summer of 2004 I copied a bunch of my favorite recipies out of my mom's cookbooks and card box. Some of them are really old, like Aunt Hilda's White Cake, which comes from I think my grandma's siste…

I have no words for how much this upsets me, how much it hurts me, how angry this makes me, especially this little gem: "They also …
I know I don't have to tell the fatosphere how important it is to feed kids and get them to continue to trust their bodies as they grow. For everyone else, however, there's a post up today by yours truly at FierceFatties (link to your right) on the s…
My sister is pregnant again and this is wonderful news. I got even BETTER news today as she invited me to her ultrasound and we saw on the monitor not one but TWO miniature people! That's right, she's carrying twins! No wonder her pants, even her …
Today is a great day. Last week kicked MY ass now it's time to return the favour. Just got a call from the drum festival organizer about a volunteer meeting this week, looking forward to seeing X-Men tomorrow night (have heard too many good things to…
Last night was a mini celebration just for people in my program (Community Economic and Social Development). Despite there only being 2 of us in attendance (our class has 7 graduates this year) it was a good time. I'm proud to have graduated from su…

That is all.
Yesterday's mail arrived and had only a single item; a nifty looking book called The Fat Chick Works Out! by Jeanette DePatie. She's a certified exercise instructor and self-proclaimed 'fitness fanatic.' She's also fat; not fluffy, not curvy, not an…
I think walking is my favorite thing to do, even more than swimming when it comes to just moving around. The job I'm doing requires me to be on my feet walking around the neighbourhood every day and I LOVE IT. It's outside, it's late-Spring, early S…
Oh Food Pyramid, we knew you well. So easy to understand, so beautifully illustrated with various and sundry delicious foods. A little pat of butter a the top, lots of brightly coloured vegetables and fruits and hearty loaves of bread at the bottom.…
With the Stanely Cup on at the moment, Wednesday night girls nights in, and gaming on Saturdays I have a few nights of the week where I regularly have guests over. Usually folks just bring a bag of chips or pop or something like that to share but I'…
