Dear bra makers: please make your cup sizes consistent. It makes no sense that cup wise, 36A=34B=32C etc. Really. It doesn't. Bigger people can have little boobs, and thinner people can have big boobs. Change the band size, but leave the cup size the same, thanks ( Read more... )

Lately I've been feeling like an old woman. I'm hunched over, my back and neck always hurt, and I can't sit for more than 2 hours without being in pain. I can't believe such a small car accident did all this to me. Last week was my final week of free therapy, and my physiotherapist is trying to extend it, but I doubt it'll go through, considering ( Read more... )

For the past two years I've lost weight at a steady rate of half of a pound a month. If it was a plateau breaking month, it could be 1 pound or even 2 pounds. It's why despite the fact I've been dieting for so long and only starting at a bit overweight to begin with, I'm still at the upper end of a healthy weight.

Not having classes and work is completely awesome. I so needed this break ( Read more... )

I'm not a recipe person. Everything I cook is just random stuff I think will taste good together. Recipes are good for telling me how long something like chicken should be cooked for or to give me ideas if I want something completely new, but that's it ( Read more... )

I realized yesterday that Kiel's and my loan payments are only $13 less than what I make in a month. Our total bills are twice what I make. Our immediate savings are quickly diminishing. I figure in about two months we'll have to start dipping into our retirement/emergency money ( Read more... )

In the past couple of weeks, I've had several mild panic attacks. I've been down this road before with depression and it's something I want to avoid at all costs. Last time I avoided it by having to drop out of university. I'm trying not to be so drastic now, but the stress is still way too high. My solution for now is to meet the minimum ( Read more... )
