The last hour or two has been some ol' bull. Sometimes, I have to take to the blog to hash out my feelings.  Hell, I downloaded the Blogger Android app for this one! Shoot. One of my bigger battles this last two months has been with my brain. Ol' girl is still making me see myself as 411 pounds. I look at myself and constantly worry if I'm not small enough. It's as if losing 160 pounds is nothing. My logical side knows that losing a whole human is the business. But that low down ass brain says "you're still fat". Even as I've acquired an entirely new wardrobe, I still see Big Ol' Tam. The fact that my brain has been seeing the Tam from 2012 and earlier is also why I flip flop between "I can't wait to go and have fun" and "stay yo fat ass in the house". I knew that making such a big change would require mental adjustment. That meant that I would have to see food as nutrition instead of therapy. That also meant that I would...

Good morning, people and others. I'd like to share with you a few opinions about a few things.  I shan't be very long, as I think I'm sick or something. *The "Noah" Controversy:  I've mentioned it twice by way of reposts, but I've decided to take a little more time on my little space and tell you how I feels.  I think I need the Caps Lock for this - CALM YOUR RESPECTIVE TITS, PLEASE!  There we go.  First of all, as I mentioned on my Facebook page, you do NOT go to the theaters expecting to find anything accurate about any historical thing.  Biopics, historical romps, period films, etc..all take some kind of liberties in order to make the film better, funnier, shorter or acceptable to the MPAA.  I get that we all expected the tale that we heard all through Sunday School about the man loading Le Ark with two of each animal and whatnot.  It's a story that children raised by Christian parents have heard forever and a day.  Even my kids know ...

I am just over a week into my retirement, and I think it's safe to say that I'm finally starting to enjoy myself! Thing is, I'm not really DOING anything!  Maybe that's why I'm having so much fun! **RECAP** On February 28th, 2014, I retired from my job after 12 years.  Yes, I took a huge leap of faith and left the place I worked since I was 19 years old.  Thus far, I have no regrets and I am very happy that I've done it. There have been some people conveying to me that I shouldn't have done it.  I've gotten the speech about the job market and even a few people spouting the beautimus things about my former employer.  I listen.  I don't even throw slushies at them.  I just realize that, well, some cats can't handle you making a move that they wouldn't make themselves. I told my Grandma Judy that I wished people would understand that I wouldn't do anything that would put my family at risk.  Best believe I consulted the Husband Hal...
