I Dream of Diva

Besides having the goal of losing 7 pounds, I would like to state for the record, that I would love, love, love (exclamation point!) to be able to rock a dress like this one. To do so, I need fabulous shoulders, a waist, and non-stickyouty abs. I'm getting there on the shoulders because of the weight lifting. Losing 7 pounds will help the abs. The one thing I may have difficulty with is the waist. I just don't think that I am genetically programmed to go in in the middle. Mostly because my rib cage ends practically at my hip bone. It's hard to be an hour glass when you're more like an egg timer. But we'll see. Hope springs eternal.



For my own future reference, the dress is available here (and costs more than my wedding dress, prom dress, and a bridesmaid dress I once had to buy, combined). Still...


Interestingly enough, I posted this inspirational (and/or depressing depending on the moment) picture on this blog about 500 posts ago. I sense a theme. That theme may be "clavicles." I'd like to find mine.

why the hell does a "96% polyester, 4% spandex" dress cost that much money?!? It's phenomenal, but - it's plastic. And simple. and... expensive.

I agree ARF. It's beyond me why it would cost that much. I could probably get some fabric, sew it into a tube and cut an arm hole for about $2.99. And I may just do that.

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Mycology*

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...
