your princess awaits!!

my favorite "bad boy" prince is in NYC on an official visit.



do i hop a quick 2 hour flight to the big apple?!

suck it in!

i want this.



yes, that's right, it's spanx...for men. technically it's being called a "compression tshirt" but it still holds your fat in place. the company that is selling these say they allow "men of the world to be at their best". sure, suck in my fat and i'll be at my best. and, it's supposed to maximize posture support, support core muscles, and most importantly VISIBLY streamline and slim!

here's the technology at work:



only one small problem with all of this....it costs $99.

so as a reminder to all of you out there, my 30th is coming up. (sure, not for 6 more months, but my fat's not going anywhere!)

all in a word?

mar-riage. (noun)
any close or intimate association or union

today, the california state supreme court upheld the ban on gay marriage in the state. while it's hard for a judicial group to overturn the will of the people, california essentially upheld hate. proposition 8 was passed in november when a majority of california's citizens voted to ban gay marriage thus overturning a legislative law establishing same-sex marriage to be legal.

i got a sick feeling in my stomach when i received the breaking news alert. my feelings turned to rage. today, in 2009, i don't understand how citizens of our country are still allowed to publicly denounce human rights. why are some citizens allowed to decide rights for someone else? it makes absolutely no sense to me.

i used to feel that the word marriage was just that - a word. i felt that if the christian conservatives wanted to reserve that word for their man and woman unions, then so be it.

i now feel differently. why can't i use that word? the above definition clearly fits my needs as well as the next person. if you want to hold your bible so close to your heart, then look up the part about loving freely or not judging others.

how is the love my husband and i share any less than that of you and your husband or wife?

i will not back down.
