The Wire
Positive spin: Lars and I are finally caught up with the current season. We watched 5 episodes in a row last night alone – (It’s like crack, what do you want from me?)
Negative spin: Omar?! Really? But, I… but… really?
Driving
Positive spin: Having my own car is totally convenient.
Negative spin: Speed traps at [...]

Today really tested the limits of my patience. It started out nicely enough. As of this morning I’ve lost 18lbs and despite the oh….million more I’ve got to go, I’m pretty encouraged that I can keep this up. So that’s the good news.
Now, for the other stuff. I should warn you that precipice for all [...]

Dear Tracy,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding our Women’s Plus line.  After much

sincere apologies for any disappointment this may cause you.  However,

Here’s my letter:
To Whom it may concern,
I am a “big girl” and I have shopped at your store for several years. I usually find that some of your XL tops fit me perfectly and I’ve been wearing your size 16 or 18 jeans depending on the pair. However, [...]
