If You Were A Little Girl In The '70's


If You Were A Little Girl In The '70's...




It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV.


Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it pretty with the comb you kept in your back pocket.


You completely wore out your “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack albums.


You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.


Your satin baseball jacket was a prized possession.


You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first "real" perfume you ever owned.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with the hard wood sole that you were constantly slipping off of and hurting your heel!)


You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (“Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.”) and After School Specials.


You wore a Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture.


At a birthday party the only person to receive gifts was the “Birthday Girl” (Goody Bags for all the guests? What’s up with that?!?)


Your favorite magazines were Tiger Beat and Dynamite.


You never thought to ask “How many calories are in a bag of Doritos?”

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
