latchkey kid I was a latchkey kid growing up. My mom was working and going to school. So I was home alone for at least an hour or two in the afternoon. And I loved it. Almost immediately after school I would head to the neighborhood convenience store. I'd buy candy and snack cakes, then eagerly head home to watch afternoon cartoons. I had a routine....

America's Team. Really?America's Team. Really? When I was growing up Baltimore didn't have a football team. Most would assume that I would look down the road to DC for a team to cheer for, but no. I looked all over the league and decided to become a Cowboys fan. (I was 12 and thought Troy Aikman was cute.) I dropped my Dallas Star for a Baltimore Raven in '96. But there's still a soft...

Not the Mama! It's not that I'm anti-baby. I'm just anti-me-having-a-baby. I remember when I was younger I would play with my cabbage patch doll Kristie Mae or Kelly Ann or whatever the heck her name was. I would dress her up in little outfits and do her hair. I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

One Holiday Down and Another To Go…

Category : weight

So, I have survived Thanksgiving. I hosted my family and it was a success. I enjoyed cooking dinner and hosting my family. It was nice. The only downside was that I was exhausted today. But it was nice to give my mom a year off, so it was worth it.

I’m a bit tipsy at the moment. (Surprise, surprise)
I met my boys out for drinks and am really feeling it. I haven’t been out in a while and am wondering why. I’m thinking it has to do with my recent weight gain.

I know that Jay loves me no matter what, but I miss how cute I used to be. I used to have this cute figure and had confidence in any situation. Now I’m obsessed with what I’m wearing and how I look.

I saw pictures of myself 3 years ago and I was sad to see how much I’ve changed. I’ve traded the loneliness I had for, what I’ve donned, my Buddha belly.

Today I ate the equivalent of one whole pie. And though it was delicious, I know I shouldn’t have done it.

A change is needed and I’m not sure what. Just as long as I can keep my cocktails. Afterall a girl has her limits.
