Fluffing belatedly because I don’t know where else to put this: Canadian Shapelings, esp. those in Winnipeg area (but I think perhaps also Victoria and one or two other places out west) – check your Fringe Festival listings for Amy Salloway, “Circumference.” Fat + funny = awesome.

Good thing follow up: the new red underwear was definitely worth the money and I’ve had a very good day off work. :D

I wasn’t sure where else to put this, but I just wanted to thank everyone at this blog, authors and posters alike. I’ve been (mostly) lurking for months now, and you guys have helped me out a huge amount. In fact, I just had the doctor’s visit from hell (“You should only eat 1700 calories a day. That’s not a diet.” and he even brought out the BMI), and I credit y’all and a few other blogs with the fact that my reaction was anger and horror at his ignorance rather than shame. You guys keep me sane even when I feel like I’m the crazy person in the real world. Even when I’m surrounded by people who think 1700 calories sounds right (even for a tall person with a very active job! sheesh!) or that eating only every other day sounds like a great diet. And even when I’m trying to explain all this to my normally-reasonable best friend, and she suggests counting calories or joining Weight Watchers.

And, for my own contribution to fluffy, cheerful things: Oldies but goodies from Youtube!

After being sick and in pain for two months I’m finally starting to get better! To celebrate I went out and bought a silver pendant of the spiral goddess- a symbol that femininity is a sacred thing. The body positive atmosphere you’ve helped create has inspired me to do so!

Thank you Sweet Machine.

Congratulations to everyone who has accomplished something awesome, or is anticipating something awesome, or just feels good! You all cheered me up mightily.

My sister got the job she wanted! Yeehaw!

She always acts like people are doing her a favour by employing her, but if I had a job going I’d employ her in a heartbeat. She totally rocks what she does.

A big YAY for sisters! And for shapelings everywhere!

I just cooked my first-ever Tofurkey! It was easy and tastes amazing!
