And I also know that you are an amazing, sexy, fascinating woman, and, as such, it IS going to come to pass that someone you fancy will fancy you right back. I know that sounds like trite bullshit that's easy for someone in a relationship to say, but I mean it. And I don't mean it in a trite way.

Yes, this.

but I do think that it's inarguable that I would both BE and FEEL much more attractive and hopeful if I weren't so damned overweight.

I think that is entirely arguable! As far as the being attractive. It breaks my heart that you feel so unattractive. Due to it being a LIE!

Because if it weren't for the weight thing, I would feel pretty hopeful about my chances - I think we have quite a bit in common. But personality is NOT everything, and sexual attraction has a lot to do with physical appearances.

And some people are attracted to women who aren't petite or perfectly fit. I know lots of women who are overweight- myself oh so definitely included- who have relationships with partners that are cool, wonderful, attractive and think their fat partner is sexy and beautiful.

Like Tep says, it sucks and feels so lonely sometimes when you haven't found your lobster and it seems like everyone else has. But I agree it's more about timing (and really not so much about how much you weigh.)

We are very wise. For lo, we speak truth.

Happy Belated, oh Loomy One! I hope your year is filled with the things that gladden your heart and strengthen your muahaha!

I'm very excited, tomorrow is my favorite holiday. It only comes three times a year--Half Price Candy Day! After Valentine's, after Halloween, and after Easter!

Fay, I think of it this way when I feel myself go down that path--if I were skinny, I wouldn't have (for free!) a set of boobs that some women pay $15,000 for.

You are smoking hot exactly the way you are.

my roommate lost by descision. I hear it was a hell of a fight.

edit: Oh yeah, Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!! for everyone who celebrates it. Happy Sunday!!! to everyone else. I exchanged Easter baskets with TCG this morning, and now we're headed to Mom's. My cousin and her baby decided at the last minute that they couldn't make it, so it's not quite what I was looking forward too. However, Mom made lots of yummy food, I'm sure.

Minor tragedy in preparations for Easter dinner: There were too many malted chocolate eggs for the candy dish designated for them.

Ah, well. At least it's easily corrected.

Now the trick is going to be staying the hell away from the Jordan Almonds. Pretending there never were any almonds is not an option, alas, as I stupidly told my stepmother I had some.

Happy Birthday Pete!

Happy Easter!

My bike ride went well, although it's quite chilly outside.

My cupcakes are delicious! I've only done the white cake lavender ones so far. I can't stop eating them however!

Now I'm having spaghetti squash and melty pepper jack cheese. Yum! Then it's talk with my mom, hopefully hit the bike store, and Party!

Hope you had a fantastic birthday, Adorablest of Loomy.

Yesterday while in KMart, Daniel and I saw a couple of kids hauling a couple of giant, premade Easter Baskets toward the registers. The baskets came up to the kids' shoulders. Out of earshot of that family I said, "It is my earnest belief that Easter Baskets should be half the size of the kid or smaller." Daniel agreed.

Later on I said, "Since you aren't really supposed to pick out your basket yourself, maybe they had chosen big ol' baskets for some friends of their family, who were having hard times, and wouldn't be getting much otherwise. So this family decided to treat the other family really generously, to keep their spirits up."

Daniel said, "Keep believing that. It makes it better."

Happy belated adorable day to Pete!

Happy Easter to those that celebrate. We were going to my mother's, but she is sick so we are having an unplanned Easter dinner here. There is candy. There are pretty eggs.

Lovely Fay, what they all said. I understand the feelings. They are not reasonable or rational, but real. I wish you could see yourself as we see you.

The timing is an odd thing. I was raised in New York and attended university in Richmond, VA. DH#2 was raised in Florida and attended university in Richmond at the same time. We wandered the same campus for a year or so and never met. I was doing other things and wasn't looking; he was doing lots of other people. We met in Florida 10 years later and were surprised that we hadn't found each other earlier. If we had met in Richmond we likely would have disliked each other.
