The Renaissance Woman

…but that’s a picture of a fetus, which is also a former embryo, but I assume if you’re wearing this button you are proclaiming that you are the former embryo.

Um…

(My first name is already added to my dictionaries, but my middle name works. And yes, that is how you spell it – from Lord of the Rings)

I did not edit this photo – it is really that stretched. Disturbs the hell out of me every time I look at it.

Sunday night is when I usually schedule my posts, and I spent it watching the Oscars and cuddling with my husband. Posting will resume Tuesday morning.

Who gets nostalgic about junk food packaging?

“Why are you making English cry?!?”

Or it could just mean you don’t think so quickly…or you’re wrong but don’t want to admit it. It could mean so many things, really.

The amount of “thinspiration” posts on Pinterest is unsettling. I only recently learned that “thinspiration” is actually a term coined by the pro-anorexia community, which makes it extra painful to see normal people giving it this much air time.

This text is just plain wrong. Yes – some people do have control over their weight and may need to simply “get out of their own way”. Some people, however, do not. And this picture is probably someone who is underweight (or at least borderline underweight) and really shouldn’t be used to imply this is how people should aim to look.

If you are this skinny naturally and you are healthy, more power to you. I’m not judging skinny people – I used to be one of them. But I don’t believe that everyone needs to be like this picture (or even in the magic BMI range) in order to be healthy.

This pin just bothered me on so many levels. >.<

…in your face everyday. That’s funny for a moment, but mean over any extended period of time.

This type of humor really bugs me (I couple it with anti-marriage or men-are-so-stupid/lazy/needy/etc type humor).

Someone pinned this as an idea for bridesmaid dresses. I would be terrified to be her bridesmaid because I would think you need a near flawless body to pull this off – healthy, light, and perky cleavage for that plunging neckline and a toned back for all that is exposed. Oh – and you have to do all of this without a bra.

Gorgeous dress, but I wouldn’t ask anyone else to wear it. This is strictly a “buy for me” only kind of dress.
