I am in school four days a week, and two of those days, I don’t get in the door until around 5 o’clock – if traffic is good. By then, I’m exhausted, the kids are starving, and we’re keeping Jim out of the kitchen by order of the local fire department. Nothing is on the…

I’ve posted quite a bit about some of the negatives and side effects resulting from my gastric bypass. I’ve even mentioned the downside of weight regain – which I struggle with on a minute by minute basis. But there are benefits that far outweigh – for me, anyway – the risks I undertook. When I…

Awww, true love! Remember that bazillion dollar wedding that took place not too long ago and lasted ten minutes? It was between the bootylicious Kim Kardashian and that tall white guy. Obviously, because the Kardashians only know people who are, like themselves, incredibly, filthy rich, there were some very generous wedding gifts offered to the…

Coming this Friday to a theater near you, John Carter. No one tells a story about a princess and her knight in shining armor quite like Disney. This movie looks like it will be no exception. The difference this time? This is a story like no other Disney has told before. And here’s…

So, I haven’t spoken much about wanting to get back into shape, because it seems every time I mention it, something goes horribly wrong with my health. Since embarking on a healthier lifestyle, I’ve fought two rounds of MRSA, kidney stones, kidney failure, and finally, this past August, Septic Shock that literally had my life…
