in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone--

I've been down this road a few times before, but this time, I'm traveling it a little different way and focusing more on self-care than necessarily trying to make appearance-based changes.

A little bit about me:

I'm a little weird, a lot chaotic, and mostly kind of entertaining to the right audience.

48 year old wife, mom, Mimi, business owner, and obsessive dog mom. My family and pets are perfect, and I won't let anyone else tell me otherwise.

Cancer survivor, cardiac lifer, and habitation space for multiple chronic illnesses, but they're mostly just annoying things that get in my way and make me cranky. When I'm cranky, I'm sarcastic as h****, and that seems to amuse people. Lemons, lemonade, yada yada.

I love all kinds of music, all kinds of adventures, and all kinds of people. I don't have room for you in my life if you don't agree that EVERYONE is human and deserving of dignity, including all races, all sexualities, all genders, all ability levels, and all religions. "No cap", as my grandkids say. I don't know what it means, either, but it usually tends to go with statements like this. Did it work? Am I cool again? I miss being cool.

**Exceptions to the dignity rule: people who victimize others. Those people only deserve THE HALL OF ETERNAL BAREFOOT LEGO STEPPING, and I'm not afraid to sentence you there, and probably berate you colorfully whilst so doing.

I'm sure there are other things people might like to know that I'm missing here, but that's the high-level overview. If I sound to you like someone you might want to talk to, let's be friends! It's good to meet you.

    Yes, add me.
    Just bought tie-die blue jog pants for fall, like the fun outfits! Going to exercise w/ a cheerful spirit! :)
    Now that summer is coming to a close soon, less ice cream, and can focus.

    Agree with you, everyone deserving of their own space here.

    Welcome to mfp! First, I love your intro. Second, THE HALL OF ETERNAL BAREFOOT LEGO STEPPING sounds like serious torture.
    Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm a 38 year old work from home mom & wife with my own list is health issues. I love reading, music, movies and don't think I have ever been cool. :D However, I do have an entire collection of hats (church, baseball, crazy, derby, etc) and a collection of crazy salt & peper shakers. If I can't be cool I can be quirky.

    I am also a little weird, an obsessive dog mom, crabby (although it’s almost all the time) and sarcastic. We should be friends!

    Hey. Send me a friend request if you wish.

    I’m almost 60 pounds down with another fifty or sixty to go.
    Chronic illness spoonie.
    And my sense of humor is cranky and dark. With glitter.

    There’s also a new group for those of us who are working on weight while dealing with disabilities. Come join us if you like.
