Most women with out of whack body images, the studies say, see themselves as substantially heavier than they really are. Men in similar studies tend to see themselves as thinner then they really are. I was both at times. I would see myself as being heavier than I really was or thinnner than I really was.
Now I do not care. I am comfortable wearing tight, bright clothes, a look that, better suites me rather than wearing frumpy baggy clothes that hide my curves. I feel confident about how I look, and it is good for my ego.
I have become accepting of my shape. There are some people that were not meant to be skinny I am one of them. I eat a healthy diet everyday, I walk a mile in a half every day, drink plenty of water and try to get 7 hours of sleep on nights when I have to work and 9 hours of sleep when I do not. I stay active during the day. In living this way I have never been able to be under 170 pounds in my adult life. And no matter how my body looks I am fond of it. I appreciate what it has done for me.
So maybe I am not skinny, or fit a cookie cutter image of what people think a women should look like, but I do not care. I am happy with my body, and all its curves. I am not ashamed of who I am, and I feel comfortable naked.
When you feel like you are the hottest women in the room, you do not have to go the distance to making it true !
Peace and love to all who enter here.

I am not sure when is the last time I posted anything. Jen and I have been very busy. February was full of b-days, work days, and just life.
Xochitl turned 8, my father turned 77 Joel turned 47, and Danny turned 17. Happy birthday again to all of you. All four birthdays had parties and time spent with family.
Valentines day was a great day. Jenn and I gave a $20 limit to eachother this year. She got me a nice journal, organic dark chocolate and almond bar, and two favorite magazines I enjoy to read weekly. I gave her gloves I knit myself, lavendar bath oil I made myself, earrings, and a movie night of her choice. I rented a DVD she wanted to see, made her a tub of popcorn, and got small bags of her favorite candy. It was a nice night we also tried our new fondu set. I also came to the realization that I do not like chocolate on strawberries.
This past month I went to see The Reader, The Wrestler, then with Jenn we saw Curious Case of Benjamin Button. All three movies were great, but I still think Slum Dog Milliionare was the best movie so far I have seen this year.
Work still is shit. Still hate my job. Still pat myself on the back when I leave work and have not ripped anyone’s face off. Still have to get up in the dark 5AM !!! Still hate it. It’s still cold and I want to go somewhere warm, and maybe stay there.
This past weekend Jen and I went to an RV show. We walked around and looked at all the beauty they have. Everything you need to live in at your finger tips. We stepped into a couple. We imagined what it would be like to sell the house or rent it, buy an RV, and just travel. When we need money we stop and find work, then keep moving. What a perfect life that would be. I know as long as I had Jenn by my side I would be happy. This is something I am sure we will bring up again and look into the possibilities.
The past couple of days Jen and I have been fighting off a cold. we are trying everything in our power not to get sick, but I think my I am losing my battle, Jen is holding her own.
All in all life at 284 Main is great . Peace and love all who enter here.

So the weekend is here. I never feel like the weekend is here until I get all of my usual Friday cleaning done. A clean house is a happy person living there. I am done with all that and the weekend is here.
Not much is planned and so that is a good thing. What I can say is that it is freezing so what we do will be indoors. For tonight Jenn is over at Ed’s and will not be back until 6pm, then of course we need to have dinner and then we were thinking of going to the movies. I want to watch the new Eastwood movie. A friend went to see it and said it was a great movie.
The rest of the weekend will be pretty laid back. My kind of weekend.
