Getting rid of the est(s) and embracing the er(s)
Tuesday, August 31st 2010
Most days I am afraid to try.I am afraid to try because I want to be the best at everything. I am an overachiever. Anyone that has lived as a fat person knows what Im talking about. Fat is our one failure that we can never seem to shed. So we over compensate by either being the smartest student, the hardest worker, the funniest person or the one that will drop everything at any given time and be there to lend a helping hand. We think by being the best at something (or everything) it will...

No Scale One Week!
Funny thing happens when you start talking in 140 characters or less over on Twitter.

I remember as a kid jumping rope being one of my favorite activities as a child. It was something I could do with other kids as a parallel player. It was something I was pretty darn good at. You know that Cinderella/made a mistake/kissed a snake rhyme where you had to count how many doctors it would take to fix her? I could easily have employed every doctor in the state of Washington, Oregon and probably part of California with my need for 500+ doctors to come and save Cinderella. I could jump r...« Previous
