I know you’re not allowed to talk about breasts on the internet, so you’re just going to have to forgive my indiscretion. Also, I know there is this obsession, this idealized view of women and their teets, but I’m here to give you some soft, floppy truths. Not all women’s breasts look as perfect as …
Turns out, deciding to fix your busted self doesn’t mean that your back pain, muffin top, or bad attitude will be gone after the first 9 days. So, that’s bullshit and I quit. But now I’m singing THIS GREAT SONG in my head, and feeling like there’s hope. (How it it possibly NOT the first …
I almost made my husband call my cell phone from China today, so that I could find it. He’s gone for the week on business. My kids were home today, because their school was closed for voting, and they asked me to help service not one, but three different tablets, for the purpose of 3 …
I’m just peeing all the time now that I’m actually drinking the proper amount of water. That’s my only thought on this day. How do hydrated people get anything done? Are they all secretly wearing catheters under their pants? No, but are they.

There are many areas to which I intend to apply change in myself, and I think they will all suck equally, but we have to start somewhere- so let’s begin with the physical stuff. (Ugggggh) My body is a temple. This temple. A few things I want to get off my chest here (besides multiple …
I turned 39 yesterday. I’ve been giving this 40th year of life “me project” a lot of thought. I’ve decided to aggressively care for myself. As if I’m worth it. Like, instead of indulging myself or letting myself hide from the things I ought to be, I’m going to helicopter-parent and tiger mom the shit …
Ok, so, I’ve been talking to my lady friends about what self-care means to us.
