Remember When?

So the other day I was so tired from work that I decided to veg out. I sat on the couch and watch essentially 3 hrs worth of Toddlers and Tiaras. Stay with me.....there is a point here. In one episode a judge said that if a little girl is a little bigger she most likely won't win. They are looking for a skinny girl. As soon as I heard this a part of my soul died. Don't we have enough body image issues as girls and women? How are the girls, teens and women who are TLCs main target audience feeling? I am not a skinty biyatch rather I'm at a healthy weight however I felt depressed. Remember the days when you were a little girl,where you wore a two piece swimsuit at the pool and were just excited that you could do a perfect cannon ball? Remember when you loved every dress you wore just because it was in your favorite color and you didn't care how anybody thought you looked? Why has that changed? Screw it! For me it will not change! As long as I feel good in what I am wearing and how I look...why in the hell am I going to worry about the others? In the ever famous words of Rupaul "If you don't love yourself....how in the hell you gonna love somebodyelse? " Can I get an amen?

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family.

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...
