did you know you can get some pretty decent stuff on the cheap?? like, at drugstores?? ok. i'm all about all natural everything in my beauty routine, even if it does mean skipping products i've used religiously (ok, cultishly) since i was 18 because i can't stretch my new, stay-at-home-mommy budget to cover things that aren't a complete necessity ( Read more... )

food, i think, is the most sensual of mediums. you can write love peoms til your fingers cramp. you can sing songs til you're hoarse. you can whisper all the right sweet nothings you can imagine (or memorize from slightly suspect internet sites). but in my opinion, you don't really say "i love you" (or, "i want you" or "lets sashay from friends to ( Read more... )

i belong to some cooking/baking blogs on here. can anyone (hee hee, lalia) tell me how to do that cool, computer-savy "cut" thing where you click on it and it links back to my own page or something like that?? otherwise, i'll look like a total dope when i post my recipes and don't do that thing. i think it might be mandatory. otherwise, every other ( Read more... )

i am not used to being with someone who supports me. except my mother, and that's not even an option anymore. don't ask me why, i can't tell you, and with my other more pressing issues, it's not something that comes up in therapy (when i go, which i haven't recently). but until aaron (a complete departure from "my type") i've consistently ( Read more... )

new years resolutions are for the birds.

seriously, who am i kidding? what makes me think i'll be any different in a week's time than i am now? there was that one year where making resolutions made sense...because i was already doing said resolutions. i joined the ranks of people who make lists of tasks they've already completed just to have the ( Read more... )

it's been a few years since i had a truly manic period of time. episode? i don't want to sound all melodramatic. it's just a fact of my life. i also dislike the term bi-polar, but it's all semantics, i suppose. i mean, who wants to admit they have the same issues as britney spears? the thing is, the whole reason i got into rip-roaring awesome shape ( Read more... )
