Beauty Undefined

This brand is more than just #fashion – It’s a statement for #women that have gone through hell and back. Who have looked the devil in the eyes til he backed down! Have been damaged but overcame it all and survived! http://ow.ly/wsNb50xZtBp

What’s my size? ME

Originally posted 2014-04-25 20:01:32. I have dealt with weight issues since I was a wee little girl. Growing up in the south in the 70’s…I mean food is food. You were told to eat your food and you ate it. But the times were different. My grandparents especially my father’s mom, having lived through the great depression had 5 deep freezers…FIVE..slam packed full of stuff. I remember after high school I went to visit her.…

Movie Monday

Originally posted 2019-01-07 13:00:59. Gilbert Grape (Depp) lives in Endora, a place where nothing much happens. The only times the police had something to do is when Gilbert’s autistic brother Arnie (DiCaprio) tries to climb up on the watertower nearby. Taking care of Arnie is mostly Gilbert’s task which can be pretty demanding, at least while you are working at the local grocery store. Then one day Becky (Lewis) and her grandmother passes through Endora…

How to start healing?

Originally posted 2020-01-03 12:45:35. How do you start healing after this? I had to walk over to the pond they went in. I thought that would have brought me some closure but it unfortunately didn’t help. I told my my bff (who is their momma) that I thought it would help me. Last time I saw them I saw all 4 kids, their momma and their daddy. Now we see them and then don’t see…

Well SHIT!

Originally posted 2021-06-01 15:00:56. This past weekend turned out to be one I’ll remember for a very long time. It started out where Saturday morning we picked up my husband’s dually pickup truck after the tires had been installed and the inspection had been done. We left and went to the gas station, got 10 gallons, just enough for now since he had a few things he needed to work on before he drives it…

Originally posted 2023-03-02 14:22:38. Ok… warning for some this may be too much info for your liking. So… here I go. In the past couple weeks I have been having issues with several things. My left leg, groin, butt cheek, and top and bottom of my left foot. Then all of a sudden I started having issues with my bowels and bladder functions. My pain management doc had previously told me that if I had…

I am still walking, breathing, talking, and I’m ok with that.

Originally posted 2014-04-23 13:35:05. Ok, from the first time I got sick, to the first surgery to the last. They all were needed for something. After 19 surgeries…let’s see. One of the bigger ones was the spinal fusion. November 2004. Went to the doctor for a CT/MRI follow-up. He tells me…you broke your spine. I literally thought he was playing. I mean come on. You are still walking and can feel yet you are telling…

What Title?

Originally posted 2019-12-30 07:38:22. Yeah, I wasn’t in a mood to try to figure out a fitting title this morning. As I sit here waiting for my pain medications to kick in I was just thinking. Though that’s hard for some of us natural blonde’s ๐Ÿ˜‰ It started in 2017. My husband lost his grandmother so we went to Tampa to be with family. To celebrate her life, the matriarchal legacy. Even though I knew…
