Q is for Queen------sized


Today is Alphabee-Thursday.
That means my blog is currently being brought to you by the letter Q.
and...
is for

I have a facebook status that says, "I am the Queen, my pantyhose says so."
and I am.
queensize that is.

I have never been a teeny petite girl, altho for years I desperately wanted to be.
oh, in my mind I am. That's my problem. My self-image portrays me as a size 5 at most. Slim, trim, flat firm belly, perfectly rounded bum...
but then a mirror, or worse yet-a photgraph betrays me and shows me for what I am.

But I've learned that that's just me.
I'm loud, large, and lively.
I'm a lot of fun..ask anyone.

I do tend to think it's "all about me"...jokingly of course.
I do tease about wearing a tiara and being queen of the world.
I even sleep in a queensize bed...at least for a couple more weeks!

I'll never be a pixie princess...and I've come to accept that.
And thankfully, I don't have to be.
Because being all I can be includes filling out these women sized jeans.
And those who know me, don't mind!
And those that might mind...don't matter!

What fun! I am on the other end of the size spectrum. There are man more choices in panty hose if you have in the queen size.

I see myself as much smaller than I am...kinda like how I used to be : ) The metabolism at nearly 50 is most definitely not what it was at 20.

Have a nice weekend!

Great use of the letter Q. We have a Queen sized water bed but it's getting harder and harder the older I am to get out of it LOL.

I love this post! If I actually ever wore pantyhose they would also be Queen-ly!

I admire both your candor and writing in this post.

It was a refreshing post on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday's Letter "Q"!

I do think that I am skinnier than I am, lol! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have eaten that little candy bar today, haha!

I would rather be a queen than a pixie, but I'm not. I'm not even a pixie, I'm more of a bean pole.

Thank goodness there is room in this world for people of all shapes and sizes and colors. :-)
I want to thank you for the lovely award you gave me!! I am truly honored that you thought of me. I need to do some serious thinking about who I will pass it on to. But it's going to have to wait a bit...cuz this weekend we will be busy moving son from college dorm back home for the summer.

I keep forgetting to tell you that I really like how you introduce each letter. The letter Q image this time is lovely. And your post is very fun. You sound like a beautiful, spunky, full of humor and life woman. Your fiance is a lucky man.

Oh my favorite Q post today!!! I love how you are loud and proud! A wonderfully refreshing voice in a world of hyper-thin wanna-be's.

What a great attitude you have! I'm working on getting there myself.

I so enjoyed your queen sized post! I could totally relate to it. I have a poem in my soon-to-be published book of poetry that talks about exercising, etc, and how much I love to shop for earrings because, no matter what you weigh, one size fits all!

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
