I'm going to BlogHer '12

I’ll Be Bock (…Arnold Schwarzenegger…)

Okay, I have a lot to talk about today, but I have a to-do list that is growing and growing. I wanted to talk about health insurance today and my lack of it and my not qualifying for it because I'm...obese and had a heart condition when I was THREE. And trying not to get frustrated by the "teabagging" folks. Where the hell were these people in the past eight years? I'll tell you: yelling back at me when I (we) protested the unjust war and the debt that is crushing us all , but yet our current president spends money to help the USA (talk about patriotic) and now they are angry.

I'm angry too. I want health insurance.

I had a few comments lately regarding getting married and how calm I am. I am calm, I will remain calm, but it somehow just occurred to me that we're getting married in 7 (seevvveen) weeks. I thought it was 9 weeks a couple of days ago? People are starting to get belligerent with me about not having the invites send out.

We are having friends over for an Indian dinner tomorrow evening and I'm cleaning and preparing for that, redesigning the invites (printing those out myself), working on my new etsy shop, catching up with my (very) neglected inbox(es), planting a garden, volunteering this weekend, dress fitting saturday and design work friday and oh! I am weighing in tomorrow and really (really) need to get on a regular exercise schedule asap because. I'M GOING TO BE A BRIDE AND THEN RIDING IN SCARY AIRPLANES AND THESE THIGHS NEED TO BE SMALLER.

woah, not freaking out. nope, not me icon smile Ill Be Bock (...Arnold Schwarzenegger...) I will be back tomorrow, or tonight. Or when I realize that procrastination has gotten me nowhere in life.

    The whole wedding thing is surreal. I don’t remember anything in between November 1 and January 1 (I was married 12/24/07). It was a huge blur. So breathe! Take some time to enjoy the ride.

    gotta tell you, I’m going to be flying in September and I feel the same as you… ICKY ICKY ICKY! Flying is awful.

    Loved The Survey!

  • Hi Lorrie. I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now, and this seemed like a good time to de-lurk. YOU CAN DO IT! It’s going to be wonderful, and amazing, and way to stay calm!!! Your blog is inspiring to me. Thanks!

    Hi Lorrie!

    I love your blog! I really admire how you put yourself out there and share your ideas. I am not considered overweight by health standards but in my own mind I might as well be. I have been trying to lose the same 10 pounds for the last few years and cannot get them off! No matter how much the actual number it is, it is the same frustration! Thank you so much for sharing your stories.

    Wow, that is quite a to do list but just take a deep breath and tackle one thing at a time and one day at a time. I am a huge list maker and once I write everything out I always feel a little better. So just remember, don’t project, just take one day at a time :)

  • New to your blog…sort of. New enough to not have known of the pending marriage. Congrats!

  • Nat

    been there, done that (8 months ago). just remember the breathe!
