Psycho-sizology
As I was shoving myself into my Size 6 jeans last week (and I do mean shoving) I was feeling rather smug that I could–if I held my gut in–button them. This got me wondering why. I mean, who really … Continue reading

Movie Day
My son, Abe, helped me make this clip to enter into a contest. We didn’t win the contest, but we had lots of fun making it! (He did most of the work and I just talked about how I needed a “stand-in.”) … Continue reading
