In response to many requests (actually none that I can document) I have decided to enter the world of blogging. While I am not sure what a blog is other than a journal open to everyone I thought that maybe this was my chance to share the wealth of knowledge that I have managed to accumulate over my vast experiences. That is to say most of my thoughts will be short. So here is my first.....
Ever had one of the moments where you wonder how much tension the average shirt can hold in before a button pops loose and literally takes out someone's eye. I work in a business casual environment and let me just share with you just because your head fits through the hole in a shirt does not mean it fits. If once the shirt is on your body and you look in mirror and it reminds you of a snake that swallowed a school bus that means you need to get the next size up. This message is for all men and woman out there. Really my wife (who looks great in everything) and I were watching a show the other night on HGTV and I feared for the people around this woman. If you turned up the volume you could actually hear the eerie sound of the material stretch as if it were about to give way kind of like if you watch a movie and as they walk across on old bridge they begin to hear the boards start to snap. You can just imagine there goes a button then there goes one of the seems then BAM the whole thing gives way and the lady on her left looses here head slapped clean off by the bottom of her shirt.(moment of silence)
For those of you who don't know I am a large person. Much larger than I would like to be but I know that so I wear items that are a little loose and do not make we(me) look like an over stuffed sausage in my clothes. Please take a moment now to invasion your self in your clothes and if any outfit you have only fits well after you have had a nasty case of the flu because you are at your thinnest then please for all of us burn that outfit.
So as I close this random rant let me tell you how great it is to share these thoughts. Keeping them all bottled up will make you crazy. Please feel free to share your stories and please refrain from sharing any stories where I may have violated these rules.

Oh my word! The tears are literally streaming down my face. I can't believe you're going to show me up with this blog! We need to figure out how to link each other. All the distant relatives that you listed could access me through you!
I too hate to see people crammed into clothes that don't fit. It's an epidimic these days. Especially among our youth. Somewhere along the way, it became hip to have your fat rolls exposed. I just asked Sue the other night, "Why is it that I want to lose weight? I'll be out of style." I just want to cry for these young girls with big bellies who wear skin tight belly bearing shirts. As a larger person myself I think I am entitled to say..."It's Gross!"
I'm so excited that you're doing this! Now you'll know the pressure of people wanting you to keep up with it all the time. It's rough on the days when you can't find anything to say, not that you'll have that problem. :) Talk to you later! Love ya!
As usual I am sitting along chuckling because although you would never admit a fashion phoo pahh ( whatever) I too have worried about losing an eye or becoming disabled before my time.
As Linda would say just because they make it in your size doesn't mean you should wear it.
As you know my job gives me an insight into the scarry world of the well shall I say unstable. Yesterday as I made my way through the the masses waiting for their medication I was met by a lady with a flowered dress, wearing a pair of jeans and houseslippers and a straw hat. I am sure she was confused about if it were morning or night. As I parked my car and started to get out the guy in the bus shelter came around the corner and decided to throw up. not once but three times. So I gingerly and quickly as fast as my body would let me ran to the other side trying not to remember what I just saw. I hummed and tried to think of something pleasant. But it was short lived when the client came in to tell me his vocational goal was to be a movie star or a rapper. but he would consider being an auto mechanic until I explained what they did, he promptly told me he didn't like to get dirty. He was not sure he if he should listen to his cd since just yesterday he had been listening to it and thinking about a deaf person and then found out this person died so he wasn't sure he should listen again in case he had something to do with it. It is obvious to me that their medication does more for them than mine. ha
well I know that you will keep me informed of your deepest thoughts and I will know you are ok.
Between you and kelly I will not have to read another book.
love you and keep them coming, it doesn't take much for an old woman to be entertained.
I agree with you Big John. I see people everyday and wonder "did they look in the mirror before they went out?" I will never understand the fashion that allows people like me who are a little overweight to squeeze into size small and let the roll hang out for everyone to see. It amazes me. When I go to the beach I see people who should never be caught dead in a bikini wearing it proudly as if they have a 10 body. It's quite disturbing to me!!! Oh well, to each his/her own I guess.
