Tales From Janet Land

Oh Tanya...I'm so sorry.Just keep looking forward, sista...you'll get there.

I know what you mean about putting your own dreams on a shelf to care for everyone else...that's what I was doing yesterday.Good luck finding your dream again, Mary...not that you'll need it!Try to lose yourself in the organizing and see it as stepping closer to regaining your dream.

Oh man! No! Don't feel as though you shouldn't have posted this...I just read over my comment and I must say that I really didn't mean to sound judgmental. I really shouldn't have opened my big mouth on here.I realize that your food issues might not have had a strangle hold on you, but just the same, what you described sounds more "broken" than you realize. Just my perception and now I really AM going to shut my big mouth!I did like the book, Wasted...I think that it was an important story that needed to be shared. But I didn't come away from reading it feeling inspired to get my own eating under control. It was a disturbing read at times.And didn't I just say I was going to shut up?!

I'm kinda sad that you resisted the temptation....

What sweet, sweet girls.And what a sweet, sweet post.

Fellow Dr. Pepper lovers unite!

I feel pretty sh*tty that this is the first time I've visited your blog and this is the first thing I've read by you. Cuz boy oh boy...you poor thing.I've also read the book Wasted and am a little worried that your interpretation of it was inspiration for gaining control over your eating. I grew up with a mother who was bulimic and anorexic. It was heart breaking and very confusing to watch growing up and it certainly impacted both my sister and I were food issues are concerned. I was grown and living on my own before I ever realized that other people's mothers ate at dinner and ordered food, not just black coffee, at restaurants. Now I'm getting off on a tangent...sorry.I sincerely hope that you read the rest of the book and use it to propel yourself to get some professional help with regards to your food issues and your own broken body image.

I have no idea what picture you're talking about but I can tell you that I hate Hannah Montana only because she has replaced Dora the Explorer in my house and I've seen one too many episodes!

Skor blizzards are my favorite...I rarely order anything else and when I do, I'm always disappointed.This sounds like the *perfect* Saturday! I felt like I was with you the entire post and each part sounded nothing short of wonderful.

This post really got to me...

Thanks for the update!I hope it's okay that I at "I'm also the sunshine fairy who constantly blows rainbows of positivity up his butt".

I'll be sure to stop by!

The barrels sound smart! I think I'll look into that, too. We should all conserve water and that's a great way!

I'm glad that Kota has good kids as role models at least during the weekend.He needs that.Have a great Monday, Mary!

Was this going to be a different picture? I kinda forgot that I took pictures of the two of you....I think we always vow to take photos but then get distracted.
