Sexy, Boots, and Snow Patrol

Yesterday I started a post about body issues and sexiness. I got halfway through it and the rest of the day took over, preventing me from finishing it. This is pretty much how my whole week played out.

I went back to the post after having a lengthy discussion with the Captain about what it means to be "sexy." Then he took the time to explain the differences between "sexy," "hot," "dirty," and "pretty." I finished the night no more enlightened, and frankly a little annoyed because I didn't have one personal fun moment in the day. And I don't ask for much, people, just a little time to write or surf the Internet and connect with all of you. I didn't even get to sit and fall asleep during an hour of television.

Anyway, I've given up on that post for now. The s...

Sixty Million

No, the Diva didnt' win the lottery. The Diva does not even play the lottery in fact. It's just a question that's hanging over the household today.

How do you blow sixty million bucks?

My dh is incensed that former Raider/Buccanneer Warren Sapp has declared bankrupty after accruing an estimated 60M from the NFL.

He played with his cell phone calculator and estimated that the man make 38K a week playing ball.

I think it would be terrifyingly easy to piss away that kind of bank once you established a lavish lifestyle that was fundamentally unsu...

Savvy Authors site still having issues!

Hi all--


Despite having been informed yesterday that the problem at the Savvy Authors site had been dealt with, I got another email this morning that told me that now they think there is still an issue.


Please do not go through to the site. I apologize profusely for the inconvenience this is causing, and I assure you that one way or the other, we will find a way to finish the class. I am as frustrated as I'm sure many of you are (and no doubt the Savvy Authors folks are, too.) but hopefully it will be fixed soon.


ARGH. And have a lovely weekend.
Deborah

Krissie: Richmond

Sitting in the lobby of the Comfort Suites, having had a deliciously deadening night of sleep. Man, I was tired. Now I’m all duded up, ready to enlighten the masses and pass on The Secret Handshake … nah. I’m ready to talk to to friends who love the same things I do, to help them if I can. You know, you get so much from this life if you just listen as well as yak. Or is that yack? And doesn’t that mean barf sometimes?
But I digress. Just like this blog/journal. I started it as a way to keep myself honest, to keep track of what I was doing and how I was feeling. And suddenly I’ve tapped into the wisdom of hundreds of women, and together we help each other. It amazes me.
In Syracuse I listened as well as talked, and picked up on all s...
