Back in the Saddle

After a few weeks of successfully sustaining positive eating habits, I have fallen off the wagon. Actually I jumped off the wagon into a tub of Zip's fries. I journeyed to Spokane last week and the temptation proved too strong for this weak fast food loving heart to resist. As much as I look forward to spending time with my little nugget nephew and darling grandparents, I also cherish moments spent with pepperoni slices from Pipeline and mini corn dogs at Zip's. This fact makes me shameful and a candidate for Oprah Winfrey Network's "Addicted to Food." Here is another fact, it was so worth it. I am home in Seattle and have turned back into a pumpkin. Spring Break 2011 commences Wednesday, so no eating anything sinful til then!

Sister Wives

For those of you who are not tuning into Sister Wives on TLC-what the hell is the matter with you? To be fair, perhaps you aren't aware of this magical reality nugget. I am happy to educate. Sister Wives follows Kody Brown, his four wives, and their collective sixteen children. That's right, just a cozy family of twenty-one. I happen to think there is something severely wrong with me because Kody is a fundamentalist Mormon polygamist, yet the most disturbing thing to me about him is his hair. Beyond that he is an absolute goon. And you can't help but question the sanity of the women who voluntarily share him with one another. It is the strangest thing though, I can't help but like them, and even root for this super sized brood. On the one hand I think this outrageous way of life is royally effed up. On the other hand this unique family seems genuinely happy and truly loving. I am one to live and let live, especially if there are cameras capturing the living for my entertainment. And who is to say I wouldn't have brother husbands if given the chance. Although, at this point I'd settle for one husband!
