Went to the cupboard.
Despite being close to the show.
When she got there
The cupboard should have been bare
Since she has trouble with “NO”.
Here’s a recap of the competition from yesterday.
The competition was an hour away from my house (w/o traffic) in Hollywood so I had decided I’d drive down in the morning which meant I got [...]

I’m really not a pack rat even though I’ve been hanging on to one particular pair of jeans for about 15 years.  The Braxtons.
I bought The Braxtons at a thrift store when I was a teenager because I thought they were cool. They have TRIPLE gold stitching going down the legs and around the back [...]

The other day I decided I wanted to run to my son’s school.  Okay…jog…but run just sounds so much more hardcore.  His school is only (to be exact) 3.4 miles away but it’s almost entirely a gradual uphill run.  For me, this was very difficult.  I set a goal to run it in 30 minutes [...]

Sprinting is good for you.  Or so I’ve read…

This weekend I decided to go to the local highschool track to get in a sprint workout in hopes of carving my log-like thighs into something more shapely like tubas.  I was disappointed to find the local track surrounded my 8 foot fences and locked.  So I [...]

 
The other day I walked to the grocery store and while searching for the spices through the mecca of transfats and sugar I ran into a huge chip display.  Seriously, I’m talking the Arc de Triumph of chips.  I stopped and stared for a moment at the 8th wonder of the modern world and then [...]

Today I’m walking on a lonely road.  Or at least it feels that way.  I’ve not yet  learned how to catch and hold onto that elusive thing called motivation. Last week I had enough motivation  for an army.  Today I considered getting out of bed an accomplishment.  I blame it on Present Monster Syndrome (PMS). 
I’m not [...]

 
Stories of sadness, fear, and loss are surrounding us during this unstable time.  It seems to me that many people are walking through “valleys” right now.  I was thinking about this today.  I don’t like being in the valley. I like being on top of the mountain.  It’s a much better view.  But I also [...]

Each day we can look at our goals as a fresh sheet of paper. Everyday we each get so many hours to fill our blank sheet of a paper with drawings.  I must confess I struggle with getting started.  More often than I’d like to admit I doodle meaningless little squiggles along the edges just [...]

I feel like I’m wobbling on the edge of losing all self-control.  I’m not thinking about dying my hair blond and leaving my family in search of Elvis.  It’s food.  Once again I’m struggling to not be controlled by food.  Will this fight ever end?  Probably not. At least, as long as I live in [...]

I was at a The Corner Bakery Cafe in Burbank the other day and saw on the table behind me two unfinished desserts.
 ”What in the world??”
Here’s a close up.  Yes I looked like a freak getting up and taking pictures of people’s uneaten food.

Two half eaten pastries. Who does this???  Actually there is more than [...]
