The 5oz Foodie

The life of a Skinny Girl Trapped in a Fat Girl's Body isn't easy... I have spoken about how until I look down or look in a mirror, I don't ever view myself as big as I am... Then when I went into to the restroom at the movies today it made me think of all of the places that aren't fat friendly... The first of course are bathroom stalls... When the door swings into the stall, it's like you have to become a contortionist or you have to almost climb into the toilet itself to close the door... Or even worse you get the skinny stall where... well I will just leave that to your own imagination... Another bad thing for people of girth, are booths in restaurants... It's horrible... It's awful... and it's just uncomfortable... Last but not least... Amusement park attractions... Obviously I know they are made for safety of the occupant of the ride, the issue I have is when you aren't sure if you will fit or not and how the employee treats you... I have ...

I am so ready for the weekend... Time to sleep in a little, relax and have a good time... I having one of those couple of days, where I feel a little sad and I know that means there is something more going on inside and I need to name it and call it out... The problem is I don't always know what it is or I am scared to say, but either way it needs to come to the surface so I can feel better... Also, I am starting to think that maybe I don't need to be on both happy pills because maybe the sadness I was starting to feel was something that hasn't surfaced yet... Love, peace and ponder...

It still never ceases to amaze me what I learn when I go to acupuncture... Our body tells us so many things if we allow it to... Plus it is just mind blowing that a pin in one part of your body helps an organ in another... It just proves once again how fearfully and wonderfully made we each are... I am still so very thankful that my boss told me about my acupuncturist... With therapy and the health coach a few years back and now my acupuncturist, I feel like I am making strides in my battle with self-esteem and self image... For once, like my blog, I don't feel like giving up... love, peace and stay the course... Musicsongbird

The older I get the sassier I become... Just ask my co-workers... I have been a special blend of sassy this week... Maybe it's exhaustion, maybe it's insanity... Maybe it's a little bit of both, but I can give it as well as I can take it...Despite the longer work week for me, I am having a great time and getting projects done and getting back into the swing after taking the week long vacation... Sometimes we need a little holiday to clear our minds and look at things from a different perspective to realize just how happy we are... I had to take a cast member over to costuming this morning and I was telling him all the great things about Typhoon and at one point he said, it sounded like I was doing an interview for Disney to recruit people... I think I may have blushed a little but then I said, "Well, I really do love it THAT much..." Which made him smile and laugh... Sometimes you need to spread your joy around to others... When we are happy and enjoying life,...

I want to say thank you to all of the Men and Women who have bravely risked their lives for our country both Past and Present... I know I would never be brave enough to do what you do, but I am glad that you are willing to do what you do to keep our country safe and free... I challenge everyone reading to take a moment to reflect on what their sacrifice has meant for us as a nation... I challenge everyone to step out of your comfort zone, when you see a US Veteran or currently serving man or woman; take a moment and thank them... Make them know that they are not forgotten and that they are appreciated... Especially our Vietnam Veterans... Welcome them home... God Bless America http://youtu.be/9y0826GL5aw Love, peace and Welcome Home... Musicsongbird

One of my life long friends wrote the following post on FB today: I revisited some old music today, and found that while I didn't really connect with it a few decades ago, now I completely get it and actually crave it. It occurred to me at a change in musical preference most definitely indicates a change in oneself.. Whether it is actual spiritual, mental or emotional growth, or just parallel change in any of those realms. I am absolutely not the same person I was then, or even 5 years ago. To the opposite effect, music i cherished back then doesn't move me the way it did. Just personal reflections today... It does make me excited to always seek out new music, because there is no telling what will strike a chord with me in the future! :) It really struck a chord in me and made me take stock of my own musical tastes and feelings and how they evolved over the years... I love all kinds of music but no matter what age I am, I will always have a heart for Contemporary Christ...

I am just exhausted... I thought when you came back from vacation you were supposed to be relaxed and well rested... I guess not this time... I think what I need is a day at the beach or St. Augustine or Boc Tower... A day where we aren't running from meeting this person or that person... A day where we can just enjoy whatever happens, not where we plan it all... This vacation just felt non-stop... I loved seeing my family and friends, but it was just so jammed pack there was not much tome to rest... But, I would not trade that time for the world... I rediscovered a song on vacation... It popped up on my Ipod... Mark Schultz, "Running just to catch myself." That is how I feel sometimes... Like I am running in 8 different directions and not quite catching up with me... Love, peace and trying to catch up... Musicsongbird Running Just to Catch Myself
