Tiger Woods Apologized: So What?
So, I awoke this morning, not to a Special Report about a natural disaster, or a Presidential Address regarding a national crisis, but to a 15 minute long “heartfelt” apology to the world to the world from Tiger Woods. The first thing that crossed my mind was so what and why does he get to [...]
Its Tiger’s Wife’s Fault He Cheated?
So, according to word on the street, Tiger is up to mistress number 9!! I mean they have only been married a little over 5 years. That’s a whole lot of cheating if you ask me.
I don’t agree with all the mess in the media saying Elin is at fault for all of Tiger’s cheating. [...]
Monogamy is Against Human Nature?
I was sitting around chatting with a few of my male friends. They tried to persuade me that monogamy is dead in marriage and that men should not be held to the standards of our parents. What??? I refuse to believe that such a thing can be true.
Back in our parents and grandparents time, marriages [...]
Closure and Relationships
Make it last foreva, and eva, and eva…….well sometimes it doesn’t. That relationship or “situation” you were in ended for one reason or another. I have found people fit into two categories, the one needing closure and the one running from it (ie. dumper/dumpee). Often times, we live happily in the grey with someone until [...]
Two Week Workout Plan
No, I know you cannot change your weight in two weeks. Rome wasn’t built in a day and you have to chisel away all those Gyros and Cheesteak building blocks that make the current you. However, in the spirit of the swiftly approaching SpelHouse homecoming, I wanted to give those few stragglers who couldn’t get [...]
She’s Playing Hard To Get
Hi Five sang it best with that 90’s song. She’s playin hard to get. . . but she likes me, She likes me”
Dating is a game. And unless you’re winning, chances are you’re sick of playing. My mom always told me men like a bit of a challenge, never let him know how interested you [...]
Holding Hands in Public – Its A Big Deal
So, I noticed something the other day. Many men don’t do public displays of affection. No, I am not talking about slobbing you down in the middle of the street, or that hand to buttcheek cuff in a crowded party. I’m talking about something so simple as holding our hand. A friend blogged about this [...]
Lessons for My Inner Fat Girl
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I come from a family where healthy eating was never a thought and where my mother uttered these famous words on a continuous basis, “What, do you have sugar fear? Add a few more cups to that Kool-Aid” and “Fat-Free, I want all my fat right [...]
Body Language and Lying in Relationships
Everybody lies. The lies may be small and harmless (”That haircut looks great!”; “I find your abs way better than Brad Pitt’s”), or they may be big and serious (”No, honey, I didn’t take out a second mortgage”). Even the “harmless” ones can destroy a relationship if they’re sufficiently frequent. So how do you know [...]
MagnoliaGirl Week 3 Weightloss Chronicles
rd I’m running, trying to make 100 because 99 and a half won’t do… Two people said health related things that affected me this last week, one related to the WW plan and the other to exercise. My WW leader is fond of saying, if you work the plan, it will work. I clearly slacked last week [...]

He told me he was afraid. I kept asking myself “of what”. Here is my [...]
UnconventionalFaith Week 2 – Weightloss Chronicles
Honestly, this past week was not off to a great start for me. I am studying for a highly stressful exam (MCAT), which Iam taking soon (wish me luck!). So, to cut a long story short, I did not stick to my diet plan.
I am not trying to use this as an excuse, but really, [...]
