Eating carbs makes you thin for life.
cplucked:
A recent multi-center study found that the slimmest people also ate the most carbs, and the chubbiest ate the least. The researchers concluded that your odds of getting and staying slim are best when carbs make up to 64% of your total daily caloric intake, or 361 grams. THANK YOU. I cannot stand hearing people complain about eating to much pasta or bread. You can’t live life like that!...

things i’m looking forward to about returning to Richmond:
shaking Tameka Simmons.
she’s the bane of my existence. she makes sitting in my quite house less enjoyable. she owes lots of people lots of money. she apparently had my landline number before i did and she never bothered to let anyone know it changed. so i get calls every single day for her, mostly from automated collection...

unpopular opinion
i will continue to use 2 spaces after a period
it’s what i was taught in school when we started using wordprocessors and later computers
i know that it’s now thought to be incorrect but it’s too ingrained for me to stop now

i need help from cool kids
i don’t normally wear leggings as pants outside of the house so i need to know what’s acceptable
how far past my spandex clad butt should the tunic fall - is it cool as long as it covers my bum? or should it go about halfway down my thigh?
i’m wearing a trench over it anyway but i need to know
i’m unsure about where fashion and modesty intersect when it comes to...

it’s not your crib - it’s your parents’
yes, she doesn’t contribute anything to living expenses - neither do you
you are not letting her live there - your folks are, afterall it’s THEIR house
don’t be putting on this tough exterior talking like you’ve been wronged in some way - you broke up with your baby mama and from what the show tells us you...

week 28
even though the belly is starting to feel monstrous i was met with a dropped jaw from one girl when i mentioned my 7 month pregnant status, and a waitress pushed an exquisite beer menu on me until i pointed to the progeny to explain why she was wasting her breath. so that’s good. i guess it’s not quite as noticeable to others as it is to me
missed my 27 week photo. just so much going...

KEEP SHIT PRIVATE - stop stealing my thunder!
seriously, is NOTHING considered PERSONAL these days?!?
it’s annoying enough when people are in any public area talking on their cellular phones at across the room conversational volume. you know what i mean, when we talk on the phone we talk just loud enough for the phone to pick it up but hopefully not loud enough for the person next to you to feel like they’re a part of the...

because i know you were concerned
both of my Zoya orders have arrived
i can’t wait to paint my toenails while i can still reach them!
i'd like to send out a BIG F-U to th Commonwealth...
thanks for nothing.
oh, i mean thanks for sending me my property tax bill all timely and whatnot but not bothering to tell me that my driver’s license expired.
in October.
OCTOBER!
and to make matters more fun i can’t just go online and renew it because the new one won’t forward with my mail which means i have to drive around for another month with an expired license until i...

i just want to preface the next 3 weeks with this
i love Mamasan.
i really do
in fact i believe i won the mother-in-law lottery
she’s the cutest little asian lady who has never had an ounce of ill-will in her body. ever.
but DAMN does she still drive me insane sometimes. sometimes i don’t want to hear about a food option that’s available that might be better for me (i actually LIKE mac-n-cheese), sometimes i don’t want...

“i love you hun but i have the urge to stab you with something blunt and dull...”
– me to my husband while discussing something completely nonessential
i suppose you could say the ragey pregnant hormones are kicking in
i would have preferred to have the “glow” but i guess you don’t get to pick and choose which symptoms you’re graced with

Dear dude at Verizon Wireless store,
Don’t be a dick.
There’s no need.
It was uncalled for when you scoffed at me with your statement of “none of the phones even have forward facing cameras so how could that work?!”
I didn’t know that, asshole. They all say “Skype capable” on them, i assumed that meant i could SKYPE, as in video chat with my peeps. I...

remember that Zoya nail polish deal we all took part in?
well it appears the entire country did and for that reason they’re EXTREMELY backlogged in getting their orders out, as in i placed my orders 12 days ago and they still haven’t shipped out. normally i wouldn’t be all where’s-my-shit?! but seeing as i’m only in this house for a few more days i’m highly...

some styles will ALWAYS be awful
age appropriate ALWAYS looks better (i’m talking to you daughter from Modern Family/Olive Garden commercial)
i’m severely out of touch with what the general public is watching and i think that’s a good thing. i just have to assume that every 3rd person on the red carpet is either from Glee or Twilight because i have NO CLUE who they are
