What Shows Does the Diva Watch?

After proclaiming that I don't watch American Idol, I thought I'd share which shows I DO watch. I'll try to put them in the order of importance, #1 being my favorite.

1. Lost. I have not missed this show in a year-and-a-half.

2. Desperate Housewives

3. Grey's Anatomy

4. Blow Out- I don't watch this as much as I'd like to.

5. Food Network's- The Next Food Network Star- I love Guy. I hope he wins.

That's about it....

Ace Young is a Sexy Man

Not that I actually watch American Idol, but I was at my best friend Ann's house, and she showed me Ace Young on DVR. This guy is HOT. He sounds like a boy band guy, but he looks damn fine. I love his sexy ace shirt and belt buckle, and that cap he wore when he sang that Michael Jackson song WAY better than Michael did. You go Ace!!!

What's the Diva Googling???

Dena Schlosser Brain Tumor
Adobo Sauce
Biotin
Baylor Lap Band
Cabinet refacing
Carribean Medical Schools
Cranberry Bog
Flat Irons

I could go on, but I'll leave you with these.

Miss Hannigan

Lauren (my little girl) loves Annie. She also loves dress up. In this picture, she said she was playing like she was Miss Hannigan (the drunk--lovely huh?)

By the Way, I'm Fat

Just so there's no confusion, I'm fat becasue I am a fabulous southern cook, and because of my intense adoration of cookies and cream ice cream. Mexican food is another factor. My comment about will power was showing that I can exercise control by drinking diet drinks. Now if I could just stop eating those Klondike Cookies and Cream Bars. I don't know how they end up in my cart. It's the evil grocery store gnome. He runs around stuffing unwanted items into people's carts. They don't notice these items until they get home. Then, since they paid for them, they don't want them to go to waste or anything.......

I also wonder, does it bother skinny people when a fat person doesn't feel bad about themselves? I don't feel bad about myself. I don't look in the mirror and think about the fact that I'm large. I don't cry or feel bad about being large. Lots of times, I think I look downright good. No one looks at me or makes rude comments. I occasionally even get men who come on to me. I do know that for health reasons, being thin is better. I'm sure I'd be more energetic if I were thin. I would also enjoy being able to wear sexy tight clothes (I am not one of those big girls who wears crop tops and tight jeans-- I have some taste.) I always have wondered if skinny people think that all fat people feel bad about themselves, or should feel bad about themselves. Would it piss off a skinny person to know that there are confident big people who don't fret about their appearance, or even think that fat looks bad? What about the fact that some women actually like big guys, and some men like big girls??? Would they be mad if they knew that some of us wouldn't lose weight if our doctors didn't berate us that we could one day develop health problems (even though the health is perfect right now???)

I wanted to add

For those of you who think it's all about will power, I switched to diet drinks for two weeks with no problem. I did not increase my caloric intake and gained 5 lbs. I GAINED on diet drinks. I always gain weight on those things. After hearing about this paradox on TV numerous times, I thought I'd provide a link with some info:

Just Stuff

If you are interested in where Jagger and the gang from 102.1 are going, read the comment left in "I'm getting a lap band." I had a reader who was kind enough to let us know where they will be. I will definately give them a listen. Does this mean that sucky ass David Lee Roth isn't working out??? He sucks.

I am still trying for the Lap Band surgery. I need to lose 100 lbs. Right now, it's up to my insurance company, which I hear isn't to good about approving the surgery. They cover it, but they have A LOT of stipulations. I meet them all except for being on a Dr. supervised diet for a year. They require you to keep a food/exercise log, and go monthly to the doctor. If I could do that, I wouldn't need the damn lap band. Idiots. I COULD pay for it myself. I have financing in place. It's $15,000. My payments would be $314 a month for 5 years. I'm not sure that I want to do something like that. I have to really think about it ans talk to DH about it. I doubt he would go for it b/c he doesn't think I'm that big. He seems okay with the way I am. It's the sexy long red hair and big boobs. It's blinding him to my fat.
