I'm commenting because I want to say ...Frances,<br />I'm commenting because I want to say that I just started reading your book "Angry Fat Girlz" today, and I am enjoying it very, very much. There's so much truth and relevance for those of us who struggle with weight--between those covers. I have had a hard time putting it down, but I have a class tonight, so no choice. More reading tomorrow. By the way, I am a big fan of "Passing For Thin." I love your writing style!E.

And I didn't get mad. it wasn't the delivery guys fault. It wasn't the telephone operator's fault. <br /><br />I was gracious. and it felt better to be gracious than it did to vent (on all the wrong people).Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-58472208970466737772010-09-29T07:19:49.100-04:002010-09-29T07:19:49.100-04:00I sit here, waiting for new beds to be delivered, ...I sit here, waiting for new beds to be delivered, as I read your post. <br /><br />My big thing is the telephone. I have the window of time they expect to arrive. They warned me - we call to say we are on our way. Translation - if you do not answer, we assume you are not home and do not come. My husband has been told twice (already) do NOT touch the phone for any reason.<br /><br />Decluttering is a never ending thing. I now live in what looks like a house (old house looked like a messy warehouse) and it takes constant effort to keep the papers and bags and piles at bay. <br /><br />The clutter and the fat (for me) where same thing-ish. Creeps oh so easily.<br /><br />I agree that acts of kindness help us as much as they help someone else. A kind tone, a smile, patience are all things that help me hugely. How I project myself has a great deal to do with my inner EVENness.<br /><br />BUT (ME, and this might be part of the losing oneself in being a mom thing) one of my big issues was hiding behind the busy work of doing for others. And I also had a habit of sticking my nose where it didn't belong in the 'name' of helping. It was hiding.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-30073130519700697062010-09-29T06:17:46.691-04:002010-09-29T06:17:46.691-04:00You're back!
