I want all of this. Now.

Omg, I used to totally get the stunned “you don’t look like you weigh that much” from the nurses at my Dr. Not so Mich anymore, so I guess now I do look it :-/

I actually came over to jez from the hairpin years ago, maybe time to go back. At least my comments showed up there 😕

Www.torrid.com. seriously, changed my professional life and has a lot of fun, non-frumpy plus sized clothes. Also, if you have a brick and mortar store nearby, the sales associates are sure nice and helpful. I promise I don’t work for them, I just love their stuff.

I have been avoiding the tricolor fb photo for the reasons you say. I feel like...it’s not my tragedy. That’s not to say that I’m not grieving for what happened, I just feel like it’s not my place to put it all over my Facebook. It feels somehow like it would be making it about me, and my reaction, rather than the…

I close Wednesday, am off thanksgiving, and open my restaurant at 5 am Friday. My family is all going to my grandmother’s, 4 hours away. So my thanksgiving plans are daydrinking and Chinese delivery

Muppet Christmas Carol all the way. At Christmas, and also all year round

Ugh, I have a friend (read:ex) who snapchats with me, and I just respond with...”a picture of something I’m doing that shows no part of my body!” I don’t think I understand kids these days
