Tales from the Fat Side

Vacation + Food= Slow Fat Kim
I am back from my vacation. Unfortunately my vacation consisted of much dining out which then results in my whining about how hard it is to run when one is carrying Wendys, Cici's Pizza, Pizza King, etc...around one's big old gut. Lucky for me I have running buddies that will run with me whether I am slow or slower.

I spent a long weekend at Brown County browsing thru stores where items were tagged $$+. I might add there were several bric a brac items that I swear I have seen on the Dollar tree shelf that were now sitting on the shelf of a rustic boutique for like a 200% markup. I guess cheap looking ceremic pineapple pitchers have become all the trend so they can be marked $29.00. Alas I have never been one of those homey woman that can take ceremic bric a brac, ivy and dried flowers and make a home look like a Better Homes and Gardens show place. The only thing I really really wanted was the doormat that says "Don't forget to wipe" but I wanted it for my bathroom...cause I am kinda lovin the bathroom humor... I also wanted to get my daughter the tee shirt that had a mother holding a screaming child, surrounded by overflowing laundry and a sink full of dishes that said "Life is Crap". I guess it is a good thing I have my husband because he keeps me from buying stuff like that. Yep Tacky is my middle name. Well all in all it was a good weekend. Returned home and spend the rest of my vacation doing "Camp Grandma". Movies, bowling, Monkey Joes...pizza, pizza, fast food...okay I guess it was not Brown County that made me fat...it was "Camp Grandma". More to follow.
