Was there life before google? It’s been my recipe go-to for ages, but it’s only in the past month or so that I’ve started specifically exploring the food-blogosphere. And I’m starting to think that this was maybe not such a good idea,

I can’t do it. I’ve tried, but I can’t refer to my husband as a Greek letter, like a frat house with bits missing. Just a couple of days ago, I introduced the family. Since then, I’ve tried writing posts using those names, and the “Zeta” thing just wasn’t working for me (I’m sorry, honey, [...]

I thought it was time to introduce the fam. You’ve met them in various guises before; most recently as DH, Miss Bea, and the myopically-monikered Baby Em. Those were preceeded by the grandiloquent Girl the Elder and Girl the Younger (along, one presumes, with some mysterious gentleman in the background to engender the pair). But I’m [...]

Do you blog about weight loss? Even when you’re not losing? What about when you’re not trying? For weeks now, maybe months, my attitude can best be described as that of a petulant child who refuses to eat, or sleep, or do anything else that will make them feel better. Except that all I want [...]

The Urban Dictionary defines “Fattitude” thus: The loud, boisterous, obnoxious arrogance often displayed by large and/or obese women. How very unfortunate. Because that is not what I mean. At. All.

Facebook was my first introduction to social media. But now that I’m tweeting and blogging (and oh so much more social-media savvy), I suddenly don’t know what to do with it. At first, Facebook was what I used to keep in touch with real-life friends (and get updates, like it or not, from I-met-you-once-why-did-you-friend-me friends, [...]

When I got up this morning, it was not by choice. And after a long night – one of a string of long nights – I really didn’t think I would be physically capable of going out for a run.

Over the past several weeks, I have been tying myself up in knots over a whole bunch of things. One of them has been about weight loss, and writing about weight loss, and the fact that I’d like to do more of it. But for some reason, I don’t want to do it here. If [...]

When I started this post, it didn’t look anything like it does now. It usually takes me several days to work through a post, from first draft to complete rewrites to editing, editing, and more editing. And when your writing time is carved out of stolen moments (sleeping baby? quick! type!) and fraught with interruptions [...]
