#FatPeopleAreSexier
There’s a huge bru-ha-ha going on over in Twitterland over the top trending topic of the day, #fatpeoplearesexier.

Good News + Bad News
The good news is that my gold satin shirt came in and it looks great! I actually ordered the right size! The bad news is that I am sunburned ALL over. Literally. I didn’t realize nipples could get sunburned. What a silly oversight! I guess I ought to lay off the tanning beds for a…

Workout Videos?
I think I want to start working out at home and have been on the prowl for a good workout video or two. I’m pretty out of shape and only have limited room in my apartment so it’s been a bit of a problem (can’t do jumping jacks in my space!). I might have some…
