Dewey has been generally perplexed by the new steps

Me? I think they’re awesome

Construction complete!

Hey look, it’s my new front steps!

It’ll be really nice to leave the house and not have to wonder if this is the day the old ones are finally going to crumble underneath me.

The due date is Halloween, so this felt appropriate :)

abqryan:

Coming this fall, my directorial debut.

We’re totally having a baby. Sometime around Halloween....

We’re totally having a baby. Sometime around Halloween. Ryan refuses to let me name it Sweet Brown. We’ll see about that.

THANKFUL THURSDAY

He’s right, his mom is pretty great. But I think he got the age wrong. I believe she’s only 28.

abqryan:

Today is thursday, I am thankful for one thing, well one person actually.

It was (if my memory is correct) 38 years ago today that my mother was born.

I am so very thankful to have her in my life and to have had her as my mother. She was a fabulous mother and continues to support me and love me more than is probably healthy.

My only complaint is that she set such a great example of being too hard on herself and I picked up on it. But other than expecting even more than the amazing amount she gives there’s not a single step I can think of where she went wrong and that is saying a whole lot.

Happy birthday mom and thanks, so very much.

We broke down and bought a fancy new kitchen appliance this weekend. And there was only one gnome casualty getting it in the house.

I was going to show you a picture, but it’s pretty gruesome.

abqryan:

New stove is new.

This was dinner and it was delicious. Ryan did an awesome job. He even uncorked a bottle of wine for me. I sure did pick a winner.

abqryan:

A bit of a better pic.

I can hardly do plating like the professionals but I must say that everything on that plate was damned delicious, so at least there’s that.

I don’t think I’ll ever get married, but should the opportunity present itself, I will have these. Because they’re awesome.

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 20:29:43 -0500

We’ve had near constant snowfall today.

The main roads have been so-so, but secondary and rural roads are really slick.

Now that it’s nightfall, conditions are even worse. The drop in temperature has made the so-so roads even slicker and visibility with heavy snowfall at night is horrible.

These are not the kind of conditions you want to be out driving in.

Yet, employees of a certain satellite TV company have been out working all day. Because TV is so important that it’s worth risking someone’s safety over getting setup.

This is also the same company that makes their employees work on the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and every other holiday. There is never a day off. Even Walmart closes on Christmas. But by God, you can have a brand new satellite dish installed on your house. Because, again, TV is just that important.

But they must compensate their employees well if they work under such conditions, right?

Nope, not so much.

The pay is crappy, their bonus structure makes it nearly impossible to actually get one, it’s practically impossible to get promoted and the benefits suck too.

Want a sick day? Okay, after you’ve worked there for 2 full calendar years.

So while you’re working, in a blizzard, with a cold (because you can’t take a sick day) and it’s 5pm and you should get to go home because you’ve already been working 10 hours, they send you an hour away to do something that almost certainly could have waited until tomorrow. But no, TV is way too important to wait until tomorrow.

Resolutions suck (except for this one)

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:48:58 -0500

I had one of those crushing moments last week where someone carelessly reminded me that I’m fat.

There I was, perfectly content, then WHAM!

Oh yeah, stop being happy, you’re a big fat fatty. You’re not allowed to be happy because you don’t fit into single digit pants. You cow.

Oh, and just to top it off, you now get to feel guilty about eating anything because you’re fat and fat people have to eat in shame.

Then I thought, fuck that.

I was having a great time before that incident. I wasn’t thinking about my weight. I wasn’t thinking about it because it didn’t matter.

My weight doesn’t matter.

And anyone who thinks it does isn’t worth my time.

I used to tell people I’ve had a weight problem for most of my life. But that isn’t true at all. My weight isn’t the problem. The problem is I’ve let other people convince me it’s a problem. I’ve let other people tell me I’m not normal. I’ve tortured myself for years over my weight, and for what? To make who happy? Certainly not myself.

So even though resolutions aren’t my thing, I’m making one this year. Just one.

I’ll like myself this year.

I’ll embrace my chunky thighs, my pudgy stomach and my chipmunk cheeks. I won’t weigh myself and be forced to live by the numbers on a scale. I’ll love my body and treat it right. But I won’t be ashamed when I eat pizza or cake or half a bag of mini Snickers. Sometimes a girl just needs a lot of Snickers.

There’s a lot about me to like, and none of it has to do with the size of my clothes or how much I weigh. Maybe it took me a while to figure that out, but here I am. Better late than never. And I have to say, I like myself a hell of a lot more already.

I guess it’s a good thing I got a Christmas bonus, because I’ll probably have to spend it all to fix this fatty’s bladder.

It’s okay. I didn’t really want to spend it on anything fun anyway.

abqryan:

Every time I have tried to go to the bathroom today I have had to wait.

Every!

Time!

I would be upset but I am pretty sure this means his infection is acting up and I feel sorry for the fat furball.

Thought you’d like to see my evening snack

A bourbon chocolate cupcake with vanilla vodka marshmallow buttercream frosting

Just the sound of it makes me want to weep with joy
