http://www.dangerousdcup.com Letting the Girls Have their Say Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:14:57 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Okay, so a month or few ago I talked about wanting to get back to blogging and to write with more focus on self-esteem and body image. Which is, for me, very much a feminist issue. And as I've contemplated doing more writing on these topics, and of encouraging folks to come ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=60 Pikture! [caption id="attachment_55" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="The engagement ring"][/caption] The center stone is a sapphire---my birthstone. The emerald is Matt's birthstone. The diamond is an unavoidable symbol of the American marriage industry. ;) The band is yellow gold with a white gold crown that holds the aforementioned stones. And I cannot ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=54 I started thinking about re-engaging with this blog a few days ago, but held off because I was waiting for some deeply profound "re-entry topic." In (brief) retrospect, that demand for profundity strikes me as silly. Makes more sense just to dive back in with what's happening these days. Besides, as ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=52 Yes, I have been away from blogging for more than a year. Will maybe recap on another day. For the moment, let's just establish that I am at my highest weight ever: somewhere around 200 pounds. I don't know the exact weight because I've been taking the advice of Shapely ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=44 So I am officially done with NaBloPoMo for the year. 28 out of 30, which isn't perfect but is better than I might have expected, especially with the crapfest the month turned out to be. No great shocker: I'll be doing some work this weekend. I'm almost always working ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=43 I am so over this NaBloPoMo thing. Luckily enough it's Nov. 29th, so I'm almost at the end of the month anyways. But I am seriously tired of having to check in every freaking day. I'm fat, pathetic, depressed, my life sucks and I still miss my damn dog, ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=42 Well, I got out the workout tape again, which gives me two workouts so far this week--if you count the week as starting on Sunday. Even if my week starts on Monday, I've still worked out more in this seven-day period than in any other recent week. Of course, the ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=41 I'm wondering what it's like for Matt, living with someone (me!) who's been in a bit of a depressive freefall of late. I'm currently too brain-fogged (or perhaps chickenshit) to ask him right now. For all that it's a marketing line (and for all that I don't entirley agree with the ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=40 Well, the sleep deprivation chronicles continue, so tonight I'm going to try a dose of Tylenol PM on hopes it gets me past the 2 AM crisis point. I've also spoken to my doctor today about re-starting Prozac. The fall has been all sorts of disappointing, and I just need ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=39 Well, I've just about regained every single pound I lost during 2006. So it's time to yet again start climbing the mountain and try the big depressing deprivation-filled weight loss project. What with my current depressed mood and the onset of holiday treats, I'm not even gonna try to worry ... http://www.dangerousdcup.com/?p=38
