So I was flipping around the tv the other night when I saw one of those weight loss commercials. This thick woman comes on talking about how she's lost so much weight and now she's a size 8. While she definitely looked like she lost weight from her original photo, she was in no way thin. She was shaped kinda like the Kool Aid man, only a bit smaller. I thought to myself. What the fuck? Are you kidding me? I'm a size 10 and this chick is smaller than me?!?!
It really made me think that perhaps my self perception was of is off. Maybe I'm bigger than I realize! I know I'm not obese, and I didn't think I was that bad. But shoot, if this lightbulb shaped woman is smaller than me, then maybe I need some glasses.
If weight weren't such a sensitive subject for me, then I'd probably laugh such things off, but dang. I'm not going to get all depressed about it or anything, but it just made me think a bit. Oh the power of advertising.
It's been quite a week. I think something was going on in the solar system or something. People have been acting quite strange. I think that "common sense" isn't so common these days and when I encounter someone who uses sense, I'm actually a bit surprised. That's pretty sad isn't it?

It's been awhile.
It's been quite awhile since my last post. A lot has happened since then. We got married, I won the lotto, quit my job and now have a manage midget act as they dance on tables all across the U.S.A.!
Ok, so that's not entirely true. I did get hitched though. Yup! Yours truly.... the once turning-cynical-towards-all-the-mushy-love-shit woman is married. It was a beautiful day that flew by just as everyone told me it would. Thankfully there is video of the day so I can have some memory of what happened that day because the day seemed to go by as though it was on fast forward. I felt so full of love that day and totally immersed in this love fest that day. I will never forget how it felt walking down the aisle with my dad towards Eddie. I felt like I was floating. He stood there waiting for me looking so handsome. I got a knot in my throat the second I took my first step down the aisle. And my dad's speech.. oh boy. I cry each and every time I see it on video. It was perfect and so touching.
When people ask me how married life is I say it's great, and it feels the same. The day to day does, anyway. I feel my love is deeper than it was before though. I will admit that.
I'm sure by this point in my blog you've tuned out. Who likes to read about mushy love stuff when it doesn't pertain to them, right?
