No one should have to settle. We are to make the most out of life, and if we&#39;re in a situation that is not ideal, we are to find parts of it that we can be grateful for and focus on that and not on the negative parts. I say that partly because I&#39;m very unsatisfied with where I am physically right now. The respiratory infirmities, which have left me sitting for the last three years, and on icky steroid meds that not only increase your appetite, but then also just in and of themselves, even if you&#39;re eating reasonably, still cause you to gain weight. Weight and I go back a long ways to the insanity of and eating disorder. It&#39;s very hard right now for me to stay positive. But I&#39;m trying. I am grateful for the opportunity my latest blog project is bringing me. I&#39;ve been burying myself in fun work instead of lamenting that only my fat jeans fit, and those barely. Sigh.<br />Jenn - I tagged you for the 11 thing on Monday, and today is the post I promised from our fb exchange about chapstick.<br />To your picky readers: check out the links in my signature.

Since you seem to be a creative writer, you might enjoy a meme called 100 Word song. Each week a song is picked and you write a post that is inspired by it. <br /><br />Check out http://lancemyblogcanbeatupyourblog.wordpress.com/Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03472645003197467754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468074.post-60433789591048678572012-02-16T20:09:07.811-06:002012-02-16T20:09:07.811-06:00This was quite interesting! I do love music although I have no musical talent! My late father taught me good music from the Italian opera singer Caruso to Eddie Arnold, a c/w singer from long ago. I love all music! Great post.

I was just saying the other day.. (as if he&#39;s a REAL person and not just a sitcom character!)...that it&#39;s a wonder he has any friends because of all his demanding, weird and quirky ways!! :)BECKYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468074.post-50642476435684075312012-02-13T00:03:20.906-06:002012-02-13T00:03:20.906-06:00Whatever you do, do NOT see this movie. Do you not know that in ALL of his books, the main character dies??? ALWAYS. I had the sad misfortune of PURCHASING the movie &quot;Nights in Rodanthe&quot; because of my great and undying crush on both Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Watch whole movie. Then he dies. I get pissed off. What a fucking waste of time. I&#39;m not one who demands a nice and tidy happy lovey Hollywood &quot;Pretty Woman&quot; ending, far, far from it. But to have him just die? What the fuck for? How did that help the story? How did that portray the theme? Unless the theme is &quot;life sucks, get used to it already!&quot; GRRRR. Stay. Away. From. Nicholas. Sparks. Movies. And pass me a martini. I&#39;m on a diet and haven&#39;t had one in THREE WEEKS. Sigh.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tina @ Life is Good</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">Co-Host of the April 2012 Blogging from A to Z Challenge</a><br /><br />Twitter: <br />@AprilA2Z<br /> #atozchallengeTinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468074.post-1955202403021450132012-02-10T16:55:36.857-06:002012-02-10T16:55:36.857-06:00I just watched this last night! When it was over, I couldn&#39;t decide whether I thought he went too far or not. I think he definitely has a point though- when I was in high school, the only thing I worked hard at was schoolwork and I was a total brat to my parents.
