Trigger warning: More on food and other unsexy things... Ran across this quote today: “When we give up dieting, we take back something we were often too young to know we had given away: our own voice. Our ability to make decisions about what to eat and when. Our belief in ourselves. Our right to … Continue reading More on Food

If that type discussion is uncomfortable for you, please skip it or do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. Now here's an ocean picture before we start.

My body is tired. I need to straighten up the house before our house cleaner comes. Not clean before she comes, but get the crap out of the way. And I don't feel like it.

And because I never imagined I could do this in quite this way. I’m not dieting. I’m just eating … Continue reading A Mixed Bag

It's time for my annual share of Xmas carols that I love. Let's start with this one. The Christians and the Pagans, by Dar Williams: https://youtu.be/t_KiHRHwaAs In other news, my rebounder came!
