A Voldemort, by Any Other Name, Would Still Smell Like Fear?

Today is the 3rd and final part of these posts about success, failure and the 21 Day Sugar Detox. I PROMISE that tomorrow and Friday will be SHORT and SWEET!! I’m also sharing some photos of a few little successes in my life to go with today’s post. Some of you recognize my posts for … More A Voldemort, by Any Other Name, Would Still Smell Like Fear?

Fear of Success is NOT the Same as Fear of Failure…But Fear is Still the Point

DAY 2 (FAILURE AND FEAR OF SUCCESS): Weigh-in. You might be thinking that a disappointing weigh-in led to giving up on sugar detox, but my problem is the opposite. A few years ago my weight was 262 pounds. I added cardio and changed nothing else about my lifestyle, eating or fitness. In about two and … More Fear of Success is NOT the Same as Fear of Failure…But Fear is Still the Point

Who Fails on Day 2 !?!?!?

Me. Apparently. me. I know what triggered the collapse after only a day and a half of no sugar, and while it was a brutally emotional week last week, it’s not all bad. Let me tell you how it went…

Marla’s Banana Balls!

Ha. Did you wonder if I was saying I am banana balls or whether I own banana balls? Or maybe you were thinking I was going to talk about eating a Hoosier banana again? Ha. Nothing that crazy. But I made up a snack. I created banana balls…at least my own version of them.

Starting Over. Sugar Detox Day 1: NO Excuses

I forgot. Dangit. I woke up this morning with an email from the Sugar Detox people welcoming me to Day 1 and I dropped several F*bombs before I remembered about slap bet resolution, which resulted in a few more F*bombs for forgetting that, too. 

21 Days Without Sex!!?!?!?!?!?

Sugar! I meant sugar! Darnit, how could I ever confuse sex with sugar? Sheesh! Oh, right. Because aside from the obvious sugar-sex metaphor (if it’s not obvious, bless your heart!) in my mind, sugar is the culinary equivalent of sex. It’s like if (*pornstar) Bree Olson were my lover and I’m suddenly asked to kick … More 21 Days Without Sex!!?!?!?!?!?

Screw Your C-

. I can’t move my legs this morning, but I’m still hopping mad. Okay, not so much mad as disappointed. I used one of these recipe calculator sites and it counted my ingredient, raw honey, as a C-. I’ve been trying several recipe counters, and honey always comes up as a negative item. Overall, the … More Screw Your C-

Doing the “Right Thing”… Which “Right” is Right? (Today’s REAL post)

Dangit WordPress! I did not want to re-publish my Hoardzilla posts! I changed the status from private to public and hit “update” so I could link them here and this stupid, idiotic site re-published them and blasted them at my subscribers. I’m very sorry folks. I hate when people post more than once a day, … More Doing the “Right Thing”… Which “Right” is Right? (Today’s REAL post)

It’s a Wonderful Life, So Don’t Shoot Your Eye Out, and Yippee Ki-Yay, Mother Fluffers!

Do you have holiday movie traditions? Growing up the staples in our family were It’s a Wonderful Life and Wizard of Oz, since they were on television every year, along with a collection of musicals: South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, White Christmas. Of course A Christmas Story was on television as … More It’s a Wonderful Life, So Don’t Shoot Your Eye Out, and Yippee Ki-Yay, Mother Fluffers!

Were You There? Coshocton Fair Photoblog

I wish I had more days to explore the Coshocton County Fair, but we were still getting settled here, and I had prior commitments out of town. But I did manage to have one wonderful evening there, with my husband and his co-worker. It might not surprise you to know that my favorite part is … More Were You There? Coshocton Fair Photoblog
