Sister : This is Jes, my second to youngest sister. We have a strange relationship - we're sisters, but we have no shared childhood to relate. I left home when she was 5, and only saw her a handful of times between then and last March. We were strangers, really, who happen to be related. (posted Jan 1, 5:17pm)

The fat/skinny elephant in the room : How important is weight in so many women's minds? I know how much it has impacted my life, my sense of self worth. The word fat is so often synonymous with disgusting, lazy, worthless. You see it and hear it all the time. It's still socially acceptable to make fun of and joke about weight. To make assumptions about a ... (posted Dec 31, 2:52pm)

Let's Talk Books : So, tell me, what do you like to read? My wishlist is pretty much empty - give me ideas to start filling it back up! I'd rather read than breathe, so I need more books! (posted Dec 30, 9:35pm)

Retrospective : So tonight, as 2009 draws near to a close, I am thinking more about where I've been, and who I've become in the last 10 years. (posted Dec 29, 9:31pm)

December 29 : It's hard getting back into the swing of things, being the only adult in the house again. I felt completely inundated yesterday. It's so much easier to get things done with other people to run interference with the shorties. It was obvious the kids were missing their sources of entertainment as well. (posted Dec 29, 9:06am)

Christmas Recap : So, that was Christmas. And it was so much better than I had even dared to hope it would be. (posted Dec 27, 5:44pm)

Almost Forgot : I can't believe I almost forgot to update for a 2nd day in a row. Tomorrow things should start to get back to normal. Until then, have a few more pictures to tide you over... (posted Dec 26, 10:27pm)

Random Thoughts : Come, listen to me babble mindlessly. I'm rather good at it. (posted Dec 21, 9:13pm)

Holiday Dinner : That seems like a lot of food for 10 people. Three of whom are children. One of which will not eat anything on that list. And one of whom is me, who has a very small capacity, comparably. (and I plan to use it all up on stuffing!) We'll have to see. I may invite all you over for leftovers! (posted Dec 20, 4:01pm)

Estranged : I think I feel bad for him. It's got to be hard on him, this time of year, being estranged from both of his daughters. Knowing he has grandchildren who don't, and probably never will, know him. (posted Dec 18, 7:57pm)

Truffles! : Eighty-ish chocolate raspberry truffles. Half with a milk chocolate coating, half with a white chocolate. Yes, they're messy. They're also really rich, creamy and yummy. (posted Dec 17, 7:40pm)

Cookies anyone? : A picture of my baking extravaganza results, and listing of what's still left to do.... too much! (posted Dec 16, 6:49pm)

Christmas Traditions : So this is where I ask for your help... what sort of traditions do you keep in your family? Which ones do you think are most important? Which ones are you hoping to pass on to your kids? (posted Dec 15, 6:31pm)

Weighty Matters : Losing 190lbs and I still don't feel normal. (posted Dec 14, 6:53pm)

Dear Santa : I know it's been a long time since I wrote you a letter. You probably didn't expect to hear from me this year either, but I have a few things on my list that I don't think even Amazon carries, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask you. After all, you're the one who's supposed to be made of ... (posted Dec 12, 7:41pm)

Cookies and Kids : Three pans of brownies, (mint, caramel pecan and plain) 22 1/2 dozen cookies, (chocolate chip, chocolate chip w/pecan and chocolate peanut butter chip) 20 muffins and 8 mini loaves of zucchini bread. That's the baking grand total for this week. (posted Dec 11, 7:18pm)

Christmas Past and Present : But as much as I'd like to go the 'what I'd do with a day alone at home' route, that's just not where my head wants to go. So let's go ahead and expose a few more skeletons and hope for the best. (posted Dec 10, 6:50pm)

Oddly Phobic : My acrophobia manifests itself in an odd manner. Come tell me what weird ways your phobias show themselves. (posted Dec 9, 11:12am)

not so secret family recipe : I read through the Holidailies Portal yesterday and now I feel utterly inadequate. But it takes more than being completely outclassed to make me quit, so you're still stuck with me. Today's post, one of stunning literary ability is... my husband's chili recipe.

I'm too busy for a title : a few small things I'm grateful for, or that make me happy. I spend a lot of time not paying attention to the little things in life, taking it for granted. So I'm going to try to pay attention here. Central heat. It's 28 outside right now, and nice and toasty in my house. My microwave. Every morning I eat ... (posted Dec 7, 10:54am)
