Some things I will never understand about the male species(ok, just my husband)

Why is it that men can nonchalantly scratch themselves and move things around...in public (or at home in front of my face) and noone cares? If women scratch themselves they must have STD's to some people...how dare she do that?

So one day I go, "hun, why must you scratch yourself in front of me?"

Hubs: Because they get all sweaty and I have to move them around.

Thanks for that visual about your sweaty sack.

I thank God everyday that I am a female.

Thanks Wii Fit, I appreciate it...

So I skipped a friggen day of Wii Fit, is it okay to skip ONE day?

The Wii Fit tells me HELL no.

"I noticed you were too busy to work out yesterday."

Well hi to you too Wii Fit.

I did lose 2 lbs though so there!

Well, if you can't say something nice, come sit by me!

So Mama Kat has the weekly writers workshop, one that I actually could pick and write about with no problem.

I was always fat. I always had a problem with it. Immature little boys would remind me of my fatness daily which was so annoying. I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17 and it didn't last but a week mainly because he went to college and never had time for me. My husband was the one guy that had been true to me.

Words that (used) to hurt me:
1) PORK! (that was yelled down the hall in school)
2) fatty, fatty 2x4
3) Wow, I can't believe you can get through the door!

Those were only a few. I wasn't huge but I was chunky and it was a constant reminder throughout my school age years. I will prove them all wrong. My goal is to have my picture in Maxim(the front where guys send in pics of their girlfriends). I am working on it with Wii and alli.

I will not be fat forever, I promise myself and my children that. I also have learned to ignore the immature little boys because they are the ones who are insecure, not me!

A bit of my life as an army brat, culture shock, and why I think soldiers are sexy

So I'll give you a little tidbit about when my dad joined the army. I was 8 years old and I was a holy terror...mainly because I was leaving the only little town I ever knew, friends, and family. I rebelled bad. Don't make fun of me(but I know you will) but I grew up in a town of 4800 people, which were 98% white, the others were Mexican and I think we had a few mixed black/white. I had never seen a black person except in (this is where you are going to laugh) my textbooks and TV.

Ok, you can shut up now!

So anywho. We moved from my little town in Illinois to Ft. Polk, Louisiana. This is where I got my first taste of culture shock. I learned a lot of very interesting words and slangs and so-forth. I got my first crush on a boy who was black. My parents freaked out because I was totally in love with him. But there was nothing I could do about it plus he liked another girl anyway. So that was done and over with.

So we moved all over. I moved back home when I was almost 16 when my dad had to go to Korea. I was so stoked to be able to see my friends again! So I went back to school there for my sophomore year. We moved to Ft. Stewart, GA (my all-time fave post and where I met hubby!). I was a Junior and only went to the school in GA for one year. I begged my parents and my grandma to move back to IL for my senior year and got to go. I then went to college there for one semester and moved back home to Ft. Stewart, GA...I was 18...mmmhmm....

So, this is the part where you can stop if you are easily offended or don't like reading about sex and things of that sort.



So I was of legal age and surrounded by hot soldier boys in BDU's, let me tell you I was in high heaven y'all. I always knew that guys look hot in uniform, I knew that since day one when we moved to an army base for the first time. Well, I did my share of meeting guys off the internet, I had a few not so good ones, and ones who didn't click. I lost my virginity to an MP, of all soldiers, it had to be one of those. I didn't mean to, but he was totally hot and well, yeah. I was bad y'all. I was promiscuous and it was funny because the guys thought that they were using me....ha.ha.ha. Yeah, I let them think that. I couldn't stop fantasizing about soldiers, even when my dad used to bring his buddies home I couldn't stop thinking about stripping them down to just their dog tags and doing naughty things to them.

I met my hubby at the sports bar in Stewart. I wanted him. I got him home and we didn't do anything til the next morning. He called me the next day..I was like "WTH?" when my sister mouthed "Its him!" when she answered the phone. Our non-platonic friendship lead to full on dating. We were engaged that same year on Christmas and I said "Yes, but its going to be a long engagement" (He was getting stationed to Germany that next month, we all moved there a few months later)

I love soldiers y'all. I didn't want to marry them, I just wanted their tight muscular bodies and I have to tell you the smell of motor oil and Kiwi shoe polish still gets me hot...unfortunately hubby wears boots that don't need to be shined but the motor oil smell still gets to me. My craving for soldiers still has not gone away. I will sometimes have to pick up hubby or drop him off at work and I still can't help myself fantasizing. Its a bad habit. I love my husband but there is no law against thinking about his buddies in nothing but their dog tags...haha

MM-NKOTB

So I was born in *ahem* 1980. I know, I'm not that old but hey, at least I can be one of the many tween girls in the late 80's, early 90's to be in love with New Kids on The Block!(My bff is still a fan and still goes to the concerts!). This one is my fave and I play it loud and belt it out loud!

Another (healthy) excuse to drink wine

So we all know that red wine is good for the heart right? Well, new studies show that it also protects against Esophageal Cancer. I am sure you are like me and go, "what is Esophageal Cancer? Well, no matter, another excuse to drink me some wine!" Well, this is what Yahoo News says:

Barrett's esophagus, which affects about 5 percent of the population, occurs when heartburn or acid reflux permanently damages the lining of the esophagus. People with this condition are 30 to 40 times more likely to develop a type of esophageal cancer called esophageal adenocarcinoma. In the last 30 years, the incidence of esophageal cancer in the United States has increased 500 percent.

So go ahead, drink and be merry and lets fight heart disease AND Esophageal Cancer together!

Cheers!

One of my favorite muthas!

So I have never met Rocky but I have stalked read her blog for almost 2 years now. She has never ceased to amaze me. She has an incredible blog which you can check out here. She has been volunteering for Global Volunteer Network for a couple years now and has traveled to Kenya and Africa. She is a mom of 6, which 2 of them are adopted from Guatemala. She has been an inspiration to others and I can't stop gushing about how great she is! I hope everyone checks her blog out and sends her lots of love!

Also, Underwear for Africa is one of the programs that Rocky has created and has been a really big hit! Check it out here
