My new friend Carrie took the time to post a comment on one of my Blog Posts (find the original post http://www.beautygirlsmom.com/2010/06/14/i-took-the-easy-way-out-gastric-bypass-surgery-bitching/ ). I’m taking the time to answer her! Dear Carrie: Unless you’ve had the opportunity to know me and my reasons for having Gastric Bypass Surgery, I wish to politely invite you to…

I hate this commercial. I’ll tell you up front – I am not the crunchy granola, save the planet, super conscious about the environment mom. Honey, if it’s gonna hold my Jersey girl big hair do in during hurricane force winds, I might not look twice at how many chlorofluorocarbons are in it – or…

You know how you hear stories told time and again, throughout your child, and those stories become the fabric that makes the quilt that is the story of you? This is one of my stories. Well, not mine exactly, because it didn’t happen to me, but it is a story that I heard so many…

I am a creature of habit. I generally wake up the same time every day – even on weekends and holidays. I get the same drink at the same Starbucks every morning. I like to visit the same theme park every time I go on vacation. So when I tell you I have enjoyed for…
