Inner Star on the Rise

I was watching The Singing Bee last night… and I felt conflicted…

Would I rather compete on the show or be one of the dancers?

I love to karaoke… yes, cheesy, but So. Much. Fun. I love to dance. Lu-huv to dance. It’s not that I actually have to make a choice or anything…

It all just looks fun. My suppressed “Starlet” was chatting with me last night after the show. She got all emotional… saying she’s not getting any younger… what about HER 15 minutes of fame… blah, blah, blah… she even threatened Botox. I just shoved her back behind the red velvet curtain. Yeah, I’ve been workin’ out. She should be quiet for awhile. In my defense, I did give her a few slices of cucumbers for her red, tear-swollen eyes. Prima donna.

I just can’t wear it…

Sports bras do me no justice. I got a new sports bra a few days ago - and it REALLY holds. It is truly a foundation garment. Every time I wear this new article of pain I think of this shirt. I suspect my new bra is made of stretchy duct tape. I would love to get the t-shirt to wear with my new chest pincer because my bosom does take on an unnatural shape. However, I do not have the nerve to sport a t-shirt drawing attention to the strange phenomenon caused by the aforementioned undergarment. So, I’ll just blog about it instead - it is so much more discreet :)

Move over, Skinny Speaking of t-shirts… I like this one too. “Move over, Skinny.” Hee. Though I am actually probably more on the small-boned side, I have always thought I lean more toward the chain of humans who have evolved from our larger-boned ancestors. True, I have been able to lose most of the baby weight acquired during my last pregnancy, yet 5 pounds remain. I am accepting the reality that the last 5 pounds have fused themselves to my skeleton. I’d actually like to lose 10 more, but then I’d have to give up chocolate, fun coffee, my occasional Chubby Hubby, social drinks… the popcorn with extra butter and m&m’s when I go to the movies all 4 or 5 times a year… ya know, basically all the joyful part of calorie consumption. I can’t be a happy “skinny” without those things! It is better to accept the “big boned” theory and feel the love of chocolate/sugar/simple carbs/salted butter coursing through my happy veins. So… Move over, Skinny… I need another cookie protein bar.
