(after all he is only 6 years old)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Son:&lt;/span&gt; "The self that I was back when I was 5."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;Me:&lt;/span&gt; "Well, Honey that was a long time ago and people change. Why do you feel that way?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Son:&lt;/span&gt; "I was a better kid then."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;Me:&lt;/span&gt; "I think you are pretty great right now."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Son: &lt;/span&gt;"Yeah I am, but I was better then."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;Me:&lt;/span&gt; "Oh, I love you&amp;nbsp; bean." (Yeah I call him bean, not really sure why).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: purple;"&gt;This got me to thinking. You know this is a serious thought for such a little man to have. Between my laughter, I actually, kind of, felt sorry for him. I often feel like I miss my old self. Back when I was 5, well maybe not that young, but before I lost my virginity...he was a real asshole. Gosh, the things I could change, but then I started thinking about that movie Click and got scared. I might have actually ended up successful had I done things differently and then I couldn't enjoy my trailer park life now. That would be tragic! Okay my life isn't that bad...but I do wonder sometimes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-8892724741484444287?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/8892724741484444287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=8892724741484444287&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/8892724741484444287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/8892724741484444287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-miss-my-old-self.html' title='I Miss My Old Self!!!'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-4709730238246387088</id><published>2010-11-04T12:04:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T12:04:49.118-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Halloween'/><title type='text'>I'm not good at ANYTHING!</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well I am good at something, but that's not the point of this post. &lt;a href="http://www.thesitsgirls.com/2010/10/halloween-crafts/"&gt;SITS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is giving away a camera so you know I am all up in that. They want me to share something that I have created for Halloween. Well I can't really share a baked good, since the last time I cooked, I burnt fish sticks. (No they were not home made...they were frozen) Yeah okay...you can stop laughing now. So I guess that leaves crafts...mmmm...well, I don't own a sewing machine for a reason. I would probably sew my boob to something. I did sew a stuffed animal by hand once, but that was a rabbit that couldn't keep it's legs closed ;) &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Okay so are you ready for what I came up with?

That and I want to win a camera from &lt;a href="http://www.thesitsgirls.com/"&gt;SITS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who just happens to offer the &lt;a href="http://www.thesitsgirls.com/"&gt;best blogging tips&lt;/a&gt; ever, by the way &lt;a href="http://www.thesitsgirls.com/"&gt;Tiffany is Pretty&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(you'll have to go to their site to understand my randomness).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It's a cold rainy night, but I can feel the excitement rise up in my back. I love going Trick or Treating, I just wished everybody could see my Strawberry Shortcake costume that my mom made for me. It's awesome, but I have to wear this winter jacket or I'll freeze. I guess I'll just have to open it every time&amp;nbsp;I get to the door. They just have to see it.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My aunt pulls up in her van and my sister, mother, and I all hop in. This is going to be awesome...I can't believe how much candy I am going to get. My aunt slowly drives house to house as we hop out and run to the door, "Trick or Treat." Wow! A snickers bar...I love them, they are so nummy. "I really like going to this house." This goes on for a couple hours with us jumping out and back in with our new candy treasures. Then mom asks us the question we have been waiting for, "Do you want to stop at grandma's?"&lt;br /&gt;"Well YES mom! She's gives us the best, most tastiest, popcorn balls ever!." You see she makes hers with molasses, not carmel. They are my favorite. We pull up out front of grandma's house and we don't even wait for the van to come to a complete stop before we whip open the door and run to grandma. She picks on us, "Well who do we have here? Do I know you? Well of course I do. I didn't recognize you in your costumes. Come in so i can get you a special treat." I love the way grandma's house smells. It always smells like she is baking, whether she is or not. Her popcorn balls are the only thing we are allowed to eat before we go home so daddy can "check" our candy. She gives us one to eat right away and one for the road. "I love you grandma."&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It's time to head back home with a pumpkin so full that we had to empty it into a paper bag half way through the night. My dad is waiting for us so he can do the most important thing&amp;nbsp; before we eat any candy. He needs to check it to make sure it's safe. I love my daddy, he always takes the "unsafe" candy and eats it so that we can't get sick :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"&gt;I love Halloween.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-4185733209129425361?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/4185733209129425361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=4185733209129425361&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/4185733209129425361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/4185733209129425361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2010/11/halloween-long-ago.html' title='Halloween Long Ago!'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-8176221841974149719</id><published>2010-11-04T09:45:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T09:48:36.647-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Boys'/><title type='text'>Meet Mr. Awesome!</title><content type='html'>I know you must be dieing to meet the man behind the mystery, the one who makes us all laugh until we have "happy tears", the one that drives me crazy!

Plus I like all my blogger friends that I have found through this blog. If you like me when I am this bad then you'll love me on my other site. I just started it so don't get all judgemental when you check it out. It's a work in progress and I still have some content to add. Oh you want to know what kind of site it is, well it's the best kind...a giveaway site. Why? Because as hard as it is for you all to believe I am quite opinionated...yeah I know it's a shock, but we'll get through it together. I like giving people reviews on products and just about anything else. I pretty much have an opinion about everything.

I can't believe it has been that long. WOW! I still miss you daddy like it was yesterday. (yes I call him daddy and I am a grown woman...F@#* you for judging me.) There are so many things I would love to share with you. I love you.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ten years ago today I married my new best friend. Yes your math is right. I got married two weeks after my father died. My dad always knew what was best for me and he made me promise the wedding would still happen. I can still hear my mother saying, "You promised your father." I didn't know at the time that my husband would turn into my best friend. I didn't think I needed one, because I always had my daddy. Well here I sit ten years later thankful that he came in to my life when he did. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If you know my husband(which you don't) you would know that he is not good at expressing feelings and he is never mushy. I can never remember him giving me a card for any occasion. He has always said that they are too expensive and he doesn't want to waste the money on them when he can put the money towards a gift. I have always been okay with that and after about five years I stopped buying cards too. (okay so maybe it took me awhile to adjust)As you all know we are poor right now due to me being out of work. Can you imagine my surprise when I sent to the bathroom at 4 a.m. this morning and there sat a rose bush and.... you guessed it! A card. You say, "So f#@$*&amp;amp;^ what?" and I say, "Go to hell." But we don't do cards! Let me tell you something, this was the sweetest gesture he could have made. The card was not real mushy, but it made the statement that he has such a hard time expressing himself. He told me he ADORED me. That's right, read em' and weep. Are you jealous? You should be. So many men love their wives, but how many ADORE them. Oh yes, I'm lucky. I know what you are thinking...How can anyone adore you? Well let me just say that I am adorable (oops I just made a funny) Yes not so little me is actually on the receiving end of adoration. Can life get any better than this? (well yes if I was working, but let's not ruin the moment).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img height="332" src="http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1923/1923058hydscm2uyn.gif" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I Love You Baby!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-7626259643493231361?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/7626259643493231361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=7626259643493231361&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/7626259643493231361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/7626259643493231361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2010/10/we-dont-do-cards.html' title='We DON&quot;T Do Cards'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-1440874251363567353</id><published>2010-10-19T08:39:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-10-19T08:39:01.742-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Follow Me Tuesday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boobiesbabiesandablog.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="BWS tips button" height="250" src="http://boobiesbabiesandablog.webs.com/fmbt200.png" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.linkytools.com/basic_linky_include.aspx?id=50480" type="text/javascript" &gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-1440874251363567353?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/1440874251363567353/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=1440874251363567353&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/1440874251363567353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/1440874251363567353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2010/10/follow-me-tuesday.html' title='Follow Me Tuesday'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-1861012995287520501</id><published>2010-10-14T13:36:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-10-14T13:36:26.595-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Boys'/><title type='text'>Grammy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So my mother, sister, and brother came for a visit.

If any of you have any other ideas that would be awesome. Prostitution is not an option...I already thought about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My next thought is: Should I start a separate blog that has more of a focus? What are some good blog topics? Should I get rid of this blog? I could keep both or just turn this blog into something besides my rantings about my pathetic life. What do you all think? (WOW!

This leaves me homebound and hating life. &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;I AM NOT A HOUSEWIFE!!!!&lt;/span&gt; I am currently looking for&amp;nbsp;a job, but the job market isn't all rainbows and sunshine right now.I started this blog out of boredom and for the fun of it. I really enjoy doing it, but I need to figure out how to turn some of this fun into income. So I need your help. I need to find a way to make some money working from home.&amp;nbsp; What I need from you is your ideas. Now I want some legitimate ideas, not those get rich quick scams. I do not mind working at something if it is worth it and going to be profitable. My main goal is to be able to make $1000 a month, so I can at least pay the mortgage on our house. So any of you awesomely talented people out there that can throw me an idea or two would be greatly appreciated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.fbcetowah.org/home/1086/1086/images/hands21c.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-5640519494623942421?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/5640519494623942421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=5640519494623942421&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/5640519494623942421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/5640519494623942421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2010/10/money.html' title='$$$ Money $$$'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-6846729440639009900</id><published>2010-09-29T06:48:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-29T06:55:16.669-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mr. FatChick'/><title type='text'>Love to Hate</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;I would hate you IF I didn't love you so much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you always drink out of the milk jug and then leave it somewhere for me to find?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you always throw my pillow on the floor and never pick it back up?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you take your nasty smelly socks off and leave them in a ball?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you trim your nose hairs and leave them in the bathroom sink?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you refuse to order your own fries and then eat mine?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you always want sex when&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;I&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;don't?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you refuse to do what I ask until I turn into Super Bitch?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you look at me like I don't have&amp;nbsp;the right to be Super Bitch?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you act like YOUR birthday is the most important day of the year?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;do you take my car and leave the gas tank on empty?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;WOW there are so many whys I could go all day, but I think this last one sums it up...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY do you have to be such a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;fucktard?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;I never understood the saying, "There is fine line between love and hate."

Let me tell you a little story about my crazy life. About 5 years ago after I had my youngest son the doctor told me "Mrs. Grace, NO MORE BABIES!" and I said "WHATEVER!" (I may have slightly been in denial) I decided to let the doctor talk me into getting an IUD. After all, it was safer than the pill and as soon as she said, &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;"NO PERIOD" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;I said, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;"SIGN ME UP!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;I would like to say that is the end of my happy little story, but NO that would not be my life. it is now time to have this little sucker removed and "HELL YEAH, I want another one put in." No period for 5 years has been heaven. So here is my journey:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://www.plannedparenthood.org/images/PPFA/080130-Mirena-IUD.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Visit 1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;1st Doctor:&lt;/span&gt; "Mrs. Grace.

Then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I could tell my 11 year old that his father is really one of the bad guys from Transformers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;WHAT?&amp;nbsp;Oh your right, he probably won't believe that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I will tell him his father is mean to babies and old people. (No one likes people like that)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I can not&amp;nbsp;believe how painful this is.&amp;nbsp;Seriously, when did my boys stop&amp;nbsp;needing me? Everybody told me, "Be happy you have boys.&amp;nbsp;Boys are soooo much easier." WHATEVER! All boys do is break your heart! This is exactly why women are always in love with men that do not want them. As mothers, we are forced to love our&amp;nbsp;boys unconditionally, even when they think they no longer need us. They can break our hearts, make us cry, and forget we exist...we still love them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Sometimes I wished we were animals that ate our young...they seem to have it together. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-3389734945337552469?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/3389734945337552469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=3389734945337552469&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/3389734945337552469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/3389734945337552469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2009/11/whatever.html' title='WHATEVER!!!!!'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-3999699672693698534</id><published>2009-11-04T07:52:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-04T07:54:35.607-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fat Freaks'/><title type='text'>I Feel Better!</title><content type='html'>Dear EX Friend,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; First of all we have only been friends for like ten minutes you creepy bitch.&amp;nbsp; You should really come with a warning label. It is not cool for someone your age to be so clingy. Go home and fuck your husband HARD! You obviously did not get enough attention when you were a kid...that's why crack addicts should&amp;nbsp;NOT have children. It is NOT cool to call me every ten minutes to see what I am doing. Who the fuck gave you my number anyways? OMG if you say one more thing about your "holier than thou" husband I will slit your wrists...not mine, because I like me too much. He use to be the biggest drug dealer this town has ever seen and you were his crack whore so explain to me again why you two are better than everyone else? Oh that's right you were saved and the rest of us are all going to HELL! Well guess what? As long as you are not there, It'll be heaven to me. You are a fucking FREAK! You wonder why you have no friends and people scatter when they see you coming....hmmm let me guess. Is it because you talk about yourself non-stop? Is it because you are a hypocrit? Is it because you suck the life out of everyone you come within a five mile radius of? Oh No, I got it...Maybe it's because you stab people in the back and&amp;nbsp; then try to be their friends? No that's not it. You stand there all high and mighty sucking on your cigarette like your giving a blow job. Who fucking taught you to smoke anyway? You are suppose to inhale. BTW. You look fucking stupid! Maybe instead of praying for me you should be praying for a fucking brain. Oh, I sound ignorant when I say the "f" word?

It didn't matter to me though, I was blissfully happy as I raised my right hand, smiled, and waved. Nothing could bring me down, not today, because today I became a Mrs. Somebody. I finally did it, I trapped him. He'll never get rid of me now :0}&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;Poor bastard didn't know that he was signing up for an eternity of mind altering, hot, steamy sex. Oh wait, maybe he did know. So my boo came home from work in the middle of the night all ready for one of those mind altering moments ready to go...if you get my drift. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;Me? sniff, cough, cough, ohhhhhh...not feeling so good. Oh yeah...the eldest came home last Friday with it and the youngest has had it for the past two days, so of course I am obligated to get it too.

Besides everything? &lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;[smirk]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;1. I sleep in the fetal position. Hey don't laugh...it makes me feel safe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;2. Sometimes...I make my kids sing everything they say...I do it too...it's fun.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e69138;"&gt;3. I love to sleep buck naked with my husbands penis in between my butt cheeks...Have you ever tried it? Well lay off then. It feels good! (TMI? mmm....maybe, but it is something you didn't know).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;4. I still have my first teddy bear...and yes when I feel bad I still sleep with him. He likes it! LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;5. I am secretly (well I guess not anymore) in love with Dr. Phil. I know, I know,&amp;nbsp; right...I can't explain it either. There is just something about that man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;6. I have written two awesome children's books. They are awesome too...not just because I wrote them, but because, well...I wrote them. I just need a publisher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;7. I think Angelina Jolie is the hottest chick in the world&amp;nbsp;and I would definately leave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt; my husband for her. (No I am not gay, but for her I would be).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;8. I love taking one of those big dill pickles and dipping it in peanut butter. (even when I'm not pregnant and no I'm not pregnant)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;9. I am terrified of mice no matter what size they are, that is why I have 8 cats. Yes terrified, I mean dead or alive I will be on the kitchen table or the highest point in the house until it is gone. Okay ... whatever, it's okay...you go head and laugh. I know you are afraid of something too so :P ( that is me sticking my tongue out at you, yes you, so there)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;10. I have a Mr. Peanut tattoo on my right ankle. Why you ask? Well that's a story for another day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;11. I like butt sex...OOOOOOHHHHH YEAH BABY!

Thank You Mindy :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;You know there was a time in my life when I had just about given up on the human race. The town that I lived in was full of bitter, mean people and they almost took me down with them. I had a hard time making friends, because people were not at all friendly. This is a place where nice guys do finish last. I was born and raised there so it was hard for me to say goodbye, but I felt like I had to. I had to get out for the sake of my kids. So we moved and I don't regret it for a minute. People are so very nice here. I've made friends and my kids love it. I've gotta tell you since I joined the blogging world, it has really opened my eyes up to how generous people can be.

So I have this fun little habit that I like to do and&amp;nbsp;my husband tells me that it's creepy and someday I'll get arrested, but I don't think it's against the law. I have always been a people observer. I just find people interesting and I like to watch them. Well somewhere along the way I have developed this interesting thing that I do. Okay, Well...Alright! Well, you know at night when you are driving in your car and a house has it's lights on?...you know how if you look, you can see inside the house if their curtains are open? Well I like to look. Its fascinating to see what their house looks like on the inside. Is it Clean? Dirty? What kinds of decorations are hanging up? Do they have painted walls or wallpaper? (yes some people still use wallpaper).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/SqmyDZRy42I/AAAAAAAAANg/D-1jCKyt4Z0/s1600-h/hopper-edward-the-night-window-1928-3500730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" mq="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/SqmyDZRy42I/AAAAAAAAANg/D-1jCKyt4Z0/s320/hopper-edward-the-night-window-1928-3500730.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;It's just a curious&amp;nbsp;habit that I have, especially during the holidays&amp;nbsp;when they have all their decorations&amp;nbsp;up. I'll be honest, it's not always a good thing. I have seen my fair share of asses and they are not always pretty, but for the most part ot's been a&amp;nbsp;good experience. It's not like I go up to the window and stand there looking in. It's just a quick glimpse&amp;nbsp;of someone elses life as we pass by.

What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-3580020219968935308?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/3580020219968935308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=3580020219968935308&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/3580020219968935308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/3580020219968935308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-want-karyn-bosnaks-books.html' title='I Want Karyn Bosnak&apos;s Books!'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/Sogv5AzW9sI/AAAAAAAAAKI/2G9GTFcYYnk/s72-c/Karyn+Bosnak.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-520321409835830498</id><published>2009-08-15T14:49:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-15T14:58:09.698-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fat Chick Fund'/><title type='text'>Fat Chick Fund!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;Okay so I have decided to Promote my Fat Chick Fund.

That's right people...for every dollar you donate you wil get a Fat Chick Buck in return. You might ask, What are they good for? Well let me tell you. They are good for a laugh, stick them in a birthday card, give them to a friend that is having a bad day, use them for monopoly money, throw them all over your bed and roll in them...okay that might be stretching it. I think you get my point though. The first person to donate get's an extra $5.00 Fat Chick Bucks, if you donate more than $20, you'll get a special one of a kind $100 Fat Chick Buck.

School starts on Aug. 25th. I still have no job and my kids have no sneakers, clothes, or supplies to start the year.  If I do not come up with $2000 right quick I am going to be living in my car. Of course, that will be temporary, because they are going to take that for non payment.  Karyn Bosnak says "Add it Up" and she's right but I'm already in the a black hole of depression...that just might make me jump! I will do it, I just need a bottle of Vodka and a joint...ha ha.

I have decided to dedicate part of my blog to these difficult decisions. Sometimes it's hard to separate the two. Like I just got back from my youngest son's football practice and I got soaked...I look like Boog off Open Season when he ends up in the river. Football season is a long season and it rains all the time here. I feel that I really need an umbrella. I know that some would argue, but I can't afford to go the doctor's if I get sick so I'd rather get the umbrella. I'm not sure if I will actually break down and buy one, because I can always thinnk of better ways to use the money, but I'm gonna mark this one down as a need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laugh Factor ~ Today is laundry day so when I got dressed I ended up with a black bra and pink shirt. I was okay with the, because who would know? You couldn't see through my pink shirt until it started to pore at football practice...Yes I was the fat chick in the black bra and wet pink t-shirt. Of course if I was a size 3 it would have been considered sexy.

I forgot how much I love that movie. I love Bette Midler anyway, she always plays a spunky character. I can't believe how much Myim Bialik really looks like her either. Through out the whole movie she is saying "I Hate My Life". I'm really glad I watched it when I did, because it reminded me that she never gave up, no matter how bad things got for her. She was successful and her friend that had all the money had her husband cheat on her and she ended up dieing. So the next thing I did was go to Karyn Bosnak's website and realized that she never gave up either. Her circumstances were a little different than mine. My debt is not from credit cards, however DEBT IS DEBT...no matter where it comes from. I'm not giving up! I can't, I have two beautiful boys that are depending on me to figure this out. So I'm gonna put a PayPal link on this website and if you can donate anything that would be great. I will also give you my mailing address. The other thing that you can do is buy any of my items by clicking on the links to the right. I thank you for anything that you can do. Trust me, this isn't easy. I've never done anything like this before, but I need to do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/Sn-Kgy7DToI/AAAAAAAAAII/Czb6Vy-9UlI/s1600-h/beaches_two.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 209px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 106px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368161576878820994" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/Sn-Kgy7DToI/AAAAAAAAAII/Czb6Vy-9UlI/s320/beaches_two.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-2604067156353441506?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/2604067156353441506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=2604067156353441506&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/2604067156353441506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/2604067156353441506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-hate-my-life-bette-midler.html' title='&quot;I Hate My Life&quot; ~ Bette Midler'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/Sn-JYOQ6T0I/AAAAAAAAAIA/_Hxob_mvZYE/s72-c/Beaches.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-5069684164686084871</id><published>2009-08-08T22:09:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-29T08:19:24.113-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sad News'/><title type='text'>It Wasn't Meant To Be</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;Okay so I'm gonna feel sorry for myself for a few minutes and since no one reads this anyway I think it's okay. Since I was a young girl I always felt that I was meant for more. I always wanted more out of life. I just knew that I would be different. I made some bad choices and took some wrong turns along the way, but I've still always felt that there was something more for me. I got my college degree and my family and I moved here, because there were suppose to be jobs...yeah I know what you are thinking. All I ever wanted to do is teach. I landed in this job as a substitute and ended up taking over the position, because the teacher did not come back. I thought this is it...this is my time. Well guess what? Budget cuts! I do not have a job to go to this coming up year. So I sit here and try to find ways to make money so I can take care of my kids and pay my bills. My husband works 70 hours a week making crappy pay and doesn't bring hme enough to support us. For me to get a job, it would have to be full time and above minimum wage, because I have to pay a sitter. So by the time I pay the sitter I'm actually losing money. So I had this bright idea to write a children's book and I did, but guess what? You need money to illustrate and publish it. Not to mention it would take a small miracle for someone to publish it...there are a thousand people just like me out there. Then I thought that I would start a blog and create some product. I could make some people laugh and sell some of my things. Why not? Karyn Bosnak started a website and people just gave her money? What makes her so different from me? I'm not asking for hand outs. Don't get me wrong I totally love Karyn Bosnak and think she is great, but I have to ask...What about me? I can't even get someone to read this dang blog let alone buy anything from me. Even though I only make a few dollars per sale. I've tried so many different on-line jobs, I've made stuffed animals, sold stuff in e-bay, wrote this stinking blog, and for what? I just think that maybe it's just not meant to be for me. Maybe all these years that I've felt that way, I have been diluding myself. It just wasn't meant to be. I was meant to be a failure in every aspect of my life. I completed college and now I am in debt past my eyeballs with no job. It's depressing. I worry about my kids. As a parent you want them to have everything and I can give them nothing. They say money isn't everything...well rich people say that. It's not everything to them, because they have it. Honestly being able to financially support family is the only thing missing from my life, so money is happiness. I'm gonna lose my house, my car, and who knows what else. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;It just wasn't meant to be!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-5069684164686084871?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/5069684164686084871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=5069684164686084871&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/5069684164686084871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/5069684164686084871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2009/08/it-wasnt-meant-to-be.html' title='It Wasn&apos;t Meant To Be'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-5376308196533769304</id><published>2009-08-08T21:16:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-09T22:30:21.189-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fat Food'/><title type='text'>Seedless Watermelon!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;My 5 year old begged me for watermelon today and since it's fruit and it's good for you I really couldn't deny him. They were $3 a piece so he had to pick the largest one and it was all I could do to lift it. There was this huge sticker on them that said seedless watermelon, so I was pretty excited about that. While I was trying to juggle it out of the fridge and onto the counter tonight I dropped the huge monster on my big toe. Let's just say I said quite a few curse words and I know that my toe will never be the same again. My poor toe. It did help in the cutting it open process, because it split right open...I hate cutting watermelon...I never have a big enough knife.

It's like ripping your favorite undies, losing your favorite pj's, or sitting on your favorite pair of sunglasses. I am so devestated... I loved that stupid mug. I opened the cupboard door and it just fell out...someone (probably my husband) left it sitting on the edge. Something this traumatic HAS to be someones fault. It couldn't have been an accident, just couldn't have been. Do you think I could glue it back together? Maybe. So I sweep up the pieces careful not to lose any and I place it in a paperbag. Well, I still need to have my morning coffee so now what cup will I use? I have probably 50 to choose from and my husband insists taht I have too many, but what if I have company? They need to have something to choose from. So I narrow it down to about 10 mugs, but you know whichever one I use just won't be the same. It won't have that nice cozy feeling in my hand. I'll have to break it in like a new pair of shoes....it's a long and painful process! So here's to my favorite coffee mug...May you rest in peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-3452120973761118047?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/3452120973761118047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=3452120973761118047&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/3452120973761118047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/3452120973761118047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-broke-my-favorite-coffee-mug.html' title='I Broke My Favorite Coffee Mug : ('/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-8592870424293548635</id><published>2009-08-04T22:35:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T22:48:18.489-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fat Questions'/><title type='text'>Who Decides What Fat Is?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/SnjwQaAhoYI/AAAAAAAAAGw/7SQqQycEfcA/s1600-h/6a00e0098b2191883301156f63bb7a970c-800wi.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366303120662045058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/SnjwQaAhoYI/AAAAAAAAAGw/7SQqQycEfcA/s320/6a00e0098b2191883301156f63bb7a970c-800wi.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;Who in the hell is in charge of deciding what is considered fat and what isn't?

I use that word because that's what people are: they're fat. They're not bulky; they're not large, chunky, hefty or plump. And they're not big-boned. Dinosaurs were big-boned. These people are not overweight: this term somehow implies there is some correct weight... There is no correct weight. Heavy is also a misleading term. An aircraft carrier is heavy; it's not fat.

I have two boys that absolutely love video games. They also love leaving their crap all over the floor like typical boys do. If any of you out there know anything about Playstation games then you know where I'm going with this. My youngest would come running up to me with tears in his eyes saying "Momma, my game won't work." So I'd tell him to bring it to me, because I wasn't about to get up from my favorite position on the couch and interupt my favorite television program for a silly video game. AAANYWAY..."Well little guy I don't suppose all these fingerprints and scratches have anything to do with it not working." Exhausted I look around for something and it doesn't take me long to see what's literally right in front of my face, thus the Booby Rub was born. I took the CD rubbed it on my boob a couple of times and VOILA! Magic! The game was fixed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;Now every couple of days I'll hear him come running, just begging me for the Booby Rub.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2853782941516012639-4819353331985467668?l=memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/feeds/4819353331985467668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2853782941516012639&amp;postID=4819353331985467668&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/4819353331985467668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2853782941516012639/posts/default/4819353331985467668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memoirs-of-a-fat-chick.blogspot.com/2009/07/booby-rub.html' title='The Booby Rub'/><author><name>Grace Matthews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02189678749888718344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e_vNPxrHYIw/TK-2ZyOuuKI/AAAAAAAAAR8/or4Uz6r5Wog/S220/avatar.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853782941516012639.post-8174828442144881811</id><published>2009-07-30T16:43:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-31T22:37:41.117-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humor Me'/><title type='text'>I Look Just Like Gwenyth Paltrow!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;I know all you thicker gals out there can totally relate to what I'm saying. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;You walk into Burger King to get yourself a nice juicy cheeseburger, because you haven't eaten all day.

What? So what, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;I've been here before. I just happen to like the doublecheeseburger with bacon value meal go big with a chocolate shake and oh yeah could you give me some ranch on the side for my fries. Oh why not add three of those Otis Spunkmeyer Macadamia Nut Cookies that just came out of the oven. God I love those cookies and afterall, there is a deal if you buy three. I'll save them for later. I didn't eat breakfast so it should be okay. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Standing there waiting feels like an eternity, you know you must have lost 5 pounds today...I mean you didn't eat breakfast and it is 2pm in the afternoon. Oh that's right forgot about the quick candybar I picked up at Walmart. Well, I need more than a measly candybar to get me throught the day. Ok so here is my food finally!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;You sit down at one of the tables with pull out chairs, because whoever designed those stupid booths must have been a toothpick. Who the hell can fit in one of those things. Anyway, back to my mouth watering cheeseburger. I get all comfy and have everything laid out in it's place. The ranch is open and next to the fries, the cheeseburger wrapper is laid out flat, and my shake is two inches from my left hand. Okay, now GO! Oh My God! This is the best burger I have ever had. I can't eat it fast enough. I am so glad that I skipped breakfast. You are in total heaven and then...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;You look up to see the most beautiful man staring right at you. You know what he is thinking. You can see his thoughts on his face. He's looking at you with that curled up top lip and his eyebrows are raised. You slowly put the burger down and wipe your mouth. God! WHY? Why does ther always have to be a hotty around when I decide to shove food in my face. You are instantly no longer hungry. You feel like you just grew twice as big as you were when you walked in there. You think to yourself "What would a skinny person do?" Well I could go make myself throw up, but that would be gross and if I throw all this yummy food away it would be a waste of money. I could pretend to call a friend on my cell phone and talk real loud. I could mention that I didn't eat breakfast. He would understand then. I mean a girl has to eat sometime, right? Oh, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;I guess I'll just get a t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;o-go bag and get outta here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Once you are in your car you indulge yourself again in this lucious cheeseburger. No one can see you now so you can eat in peace. You can't stop thinking about the look on his face. He was probably thinking 'That fat cow needs another meal! She looks like she bought out the restaurant. Doesn't she look in the mirror before she leaves the house. STOP EATING FATSO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;crew HIM! Who does he think he is anyway. What makes him a better person than me. He has no idea who I am. I have a great sense of humor. I'm funny and nice to people. I have a lot of friends. He probably has a small penis anyway :) What a jerk! You know maybe he wasn't thinking that anyway. Maybe he was staring at me, because he thought I looked just like Gwenyth Paltrow. A lot of my friends have told me that. Maybe he thought I was so beautiful that he just couldn't look away. I bet that was it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Gosh, why do I over react! Where are those cookies?
