Spin class was canceled tonight! My girls were all on vacation over the weekend and I think they are still tuckered out. Sooo…I wasn’t sure what to do instead. I considered doing this workout… White girl shuffle? Looks good to me! But since there are no black men in the ‘burbs, I couldn’t do it. [...]

In the last few years, what with the economy and all, the “boomerang generation” has really made a name for itself. You go to school, leave home, and then…you come back. That’s exactly what I did! Was it my ideal plan? No. Did it allow me to build the career I wanted? Absolutely. And I’d [...]

After talking about the word “fat” as just an adjective yesterday, it seemed like an approp time for this playlist. Really, no one distinguishes fat from personality quite like rappers do.

Now, personally, I don’t worry about my privacy as much as some people because I’m not trying to keep keg stand pictures out of Google search, but the whole thing, to me, really just speaks to the attitude [...]
