The Unfortunate Comfort I Have for My Body: A Personal Reflection.

This blog is sort of a mix of everything, so I thought I would share something personal for once, a little note I was writing on my thoughts of my physical appearance and lack of inspiration to get fit. I thought it would be enjoyable to some, maybe they can try to motivate me, either to stay how I am or to get off the couch.

The Unfortunate Comfort I Have for My Body

I'm very comfortable with my body but it is unfortunate because as my mother constantly reminds me I am overweight or pudgy or whatever word it is for I'm supposed to be off my butt exercising and definitely not eating that cake or that shirt is too tight because it reveals my pot belly. I'm not mad at her and it is not that I think she is wrong, I have gained a lot of weight in college. It is also not a I love my body, real women have curves spiel. I just happen to have a high tolerance for my body's appearance. While my mother grabs at the flab on her thighs explaining how she "must" go on the treadmill after a long day of cleaning the garage, I just sit and type this on my laptop. I just don't have it in me at the moment. I mean I like my breasts and my butt and the rest, eh who cares? But seriously, until I look in the mirror and gringe in disgust I will not be hoping over to that treadmill. My butt will probably get fatter and plumper, and I think I might have to acquire a hump and some boils and a snaggle tooth in order for me to go "Oh man, I gotta change!". For now, I just get to enjoy the blogging world while my mother gasps for air as she runs on the treadmill.

Why I'm Mad for Borders!

I love Borders, I love buying books but I especially love Borders because of Paperchase, which specializes in stationary and other cute items! Paperchase is the reason for all the "Awwwwww" cooing, school girl geeking out, jumping for joy well for me at least! Seriously, my boyfriend has to peel me away from their section! I'm always so impressed by their new designs. Borders owned most of Paperchase after 2004 but recently sold the company in July for 31$ Million dollars. Luckily Borders will continue to sell these super cute Paperchase products! But it did make it hard for me to track down Paperchase on Borders website so I went straight to the source! I thought I'd share some of the cutest design they have out!

Don't be a Sloppy Milkshake! Watch Adventure Time!

I fell in love with Adventure Time a few years ago! Adventure time is about a boy/hero Finn and his best friend Jake as they go on adventures to save and help those in need. This is unlike any cartoon show I have ever seen, it combines cuteness, randomness, weird and silly humor while also being a light-hearted fun show enjoyable for all ages! It was shown to me as a friend and he explained that this was a pilot that was never picked up by a channel to continue. I was sad because the show was so awesome. However, many people experienced what I did, were shown the crazy ridiculously wonderfully epic first episode of the show and were demanding more! Cartoon Network, as awesome as always, picked up the show for new episodes. I was ecstatic to hear about it this year, and have enjoyed new episodes! So was the little boy I had babysat when I showed him the first episode! Trust me, check out the first episode if you haven't had the chance below.
