Music Notes

So music preference was part of this morning's "meeting" that I have every day with my co-workers who come in early. One thing we realized that we all had in common was that we'll pretty much listen to just about anything! I'm not big on rap /gosple and Tom had no major preference. One of my favorite musical guru's has had a bad rap lately but I just don't believe it. Yup, it's Yanni. Greek born and totally wonderful both to see and hear. I've been to see his concert twice, once with my brother and once as a whole family. He portray's a range of emotion through his music and you can't help but ride along. So if you're looking for music you can relax to, clean to, shake your groove thing or just simply enjoy, check out www.yanni.com and enjoy for hours. Remember me when you become addicted! LOL

Pictures finally here!

Hi guys. As promised here are pictures of my beautiful friend Chris looking absolutly FAB-YOU-LUSS on her wedding day. Steve Looks pretty good to! LOL

Tie the Knot.........or Noose?

All of my friends are officially married now that Chris & Steve have tied the knot - you can click on her link to the right C's Travels. Here I thought all the hub-bub about marriage was just in my own little world and apparently I was wrong. Yes folks you read it right, I was wrong. The marriage rush is everywhere. Here's a link to an article in the local paper in which our receptionist - Jen Smith - and my "supervisor who doesn't want to be called my supervisor" Jen Rowswell were quoted. For these purposes we'll call her the Goober One Step Up the Ladder. LOL Anyway, click on the link and enjoy. It's really a pretty good read. Enjoy!!!

Fat People Unite!!!

I was online this a.m. and found an artcile about how the fashion industry is making size 00 to accomodate smaller people. It also stated that it was "cutting sizes bigger" to make heavier people feel better by wearing a "smaller size." They claimed that this was good for their self esteem. Well, here was my response to that!


I just finished reading your article on Vanity Dressing and was quite disturbed. I myself am a plus sized woman. While I'm not comfortable about my weight it's something I have to deal with. I'm shaped like my mother who's shaped like my grandfather - Strike 1 is genetics. I also have a poor functioning thyroid - Strike 2. So plus sized I am plus sized I live but to hear that the fashion industry is "cutting clothes larger" is a crock and plus size departments in moderate priced stores are rapidly. We as larger woman want to wear clothes that are just as cute as what you term "normal women." I used to enjoy shopping at Target which now seems to have no more than 3 racks of plus sized clothes that are mixed in with the mens department and the maternity department. Just because we're fat doesn't mean we have a penis under a beer gut or a baby in our belly. K*Mart?? Forget it. If you want to dress like you're over 60 go for it. Younger fat women - yes I'll say it, we're FAT - don't want flowers and stripes on our backsides. We don't want to wear the same shirts our grandmothers and elder aunts are wearing. We don't want to hear our elder neighbor lady go "Oh I just love that top! I have it in pink!" If the fashion industry wants to accomodate the "normal woman" go out there and see her. She's not the ritzy one shopping in Bloomies. She's trying to make ends meet by sticking to Target and Walmart. If gays can be "Queer & Here" why can't plus sized people be "Fat & Fabulous"? Perhaps if we weren't feeling pressured by the fashion industry more people would have higher self esteem, lose weight and not be embarrassed to shop in the plus sized department. We're not ogres to hid away. If you're that upset, go to your Yellow Pages and find the nearest shrink. I wish you the best of luck.

Chris & Steve Tie the Knot

This past Saturday, my lovely friend Chris married her Prince Charming Steve. It was a beautiful wedding on the beach up in Canada and the bride was a vision in a pure white gown. I couldn't be there myself - much to my dispair - but from the pictures I've seen everyone had a GREAT time. As soon as I get pictures of the day I'll make sure I add them.
All the happiness in the world to the new couple. May your eggs always be sunny side up!!!
