every spider has a web, every girl has a dream...

I'm 27 and I'm tired of being tired. At the end of the day, I'd just like to not get winded walking up the stairs and to not have my belly jiggle when I brush my teeth. I'd love to have curves, but I'm built like a guy (except for the lady bits): broad shoulders and no hips.

The Past: I've been overweight quite a bit of my life, and although, there were those times when I lost 20lbs, I've never been able to keep it off. I could blame my overeating on numerous things that happened ...

I could blame my overeating on numerous things that happened in my life, but at the end of the day, I'm the one that put the food in my mouth - so, it's my fault - end of story.

The Present: I'm married to a wonderful man who lost over 100lbs about six years ago, but since meeting me, has put back on 40lbs. We both need to lose weight (granted, I more than he).

The Future: Kate Moss once said "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" and I would love to get to that point (not the Kate Moss skinny, just the "normal" healthy).

Help me, please!

Personal Information:
I live in Dillsburg, PA - home of the dill pickel (true that).

I've been married for a bajillion years (um, three) to a wonderful guy and together we have two little girls - Dachshunds. They are 3 year old sisters named Tierney and Ayvah, and let me tell you, terrible threes aren't just for humans.

I dream of shoes (because they're the one thing that fit no matter what size, and they totally make the outfit) and travel, but pacify my time by photographing life, creating stained glass, and trying to be able to spin my character aroundwhile fighting at the same time (on Xbox 360).

Other Information:
Kate Moss (I know, I know, she's a skinny b!tch) once said: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." And though I don't really ever want to be skinny, I'm assuming the same is true for being healthy.

No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.

Evil place? What... the beach?

I might go for a day trip here and there, but yeah, pretty much. I'm all chilly today.

How's the throat?

Ya. I know. I don't like to make a big deal out of things I can't have when I just... you know... can't have them...

but this is a big deal for me.

I don't think I even let myself think about how big a deal because... you know...

Have Eddie get you some yogurt for when you're done with that Z-pack so you can get your gut flora goin' again, 'k?...
MWAH!

RE: Blog. When I read farty party I hope it was supposed to be in a British accent like Aarti Party from Food Network. (Read: Aaaaahty Paaahty) Anyhoo. I will let you know if I find the beans. Fingers crossed, I think the Mr is dreading that quest! LOL No, the rhyme doesn't get old just as the limerick about the man from Nantucket. It doesn't matter what my inlaws think because they're all mooks but it matters what my family thinks. Thankfully my grandma rocks and treats me like an adult instead of some flakey yet responsible and funny weirdo.

Okay, those things need to come out, pronto. Find a doc who will. I had mine out at your age and it hurt equally to the strep so if you're used to the pain, tonsilectomy would be easy for you. Don't worry about the TMI, I started at the same age.

You're welcome for the hot chocolate (I've never called it cocoa). My favorite way to have a REAL one (not the "I'm trying to be good so I'll skimp on the extras") is a packet of Swiss Miss Chocolate Sensation, a scoop of Ghirardelli's Hazelnut Chocolate mix and either Cool Whip or a load mini marshmallows depending on my mood. DROOL! Yours with the mint sounds good! I'll scream it back...AHHHHH!!!! I LOVE FALL TOOOOOO!!!!!!

Do you still have your tonsils?

I'm getting a lot of conflicting info on this... you know runners will have an opinion about every little thing to do with the run... I'm mostly hearing that up on the toes is only something for sprinters and that there is no way it's a good thing for distances beyond 400 m...

The shoes issue is even MORE confusing. I KNOW the way I was running before I got sick was wrong but I'm not even THINKING about trying to do distance like that any more and I think I'm ok with that...

I've put about a mile and a half on my body this week and nothing hurts.

Maybe I'll just take that and call it a win, yano?

DO you have strep throat, Missy? Do I have to CARRY you to a doc?
