Today is all about the pile on my desk that forever seems to grow upward and never seems to disappear. For heaven sake, I can redistribute things, turn around and low-and-behold, there’s a brand spankin’ new pile right there on my desk! Where did it come from? 
Is that nasty little work fairy pawning off on me again! LOL…
Littleman managed to survive his very first sleepover. He’s not quite sure when he plans to have another one though. Having his friends stay at HIS house is apparently a much more comforting thought. He promptly informed me, with a most serious expression, that sleepovers elsewhere are only to be used ‘in cases of emergency’. Yep…his words… you can imagine why I had to quickly turn my back and stifle my giggle… I asked him why he didn’t enjoy himself. He explained that he did, it’s just that he likes his own bed and he was too far away from me to give a good night hug. Awwwwwwwwwwww……..my little man missed me. 
In other news….I’m just NOT UNDERSTANDING this….a 32 year old Ontario (as in Canada, not California…giggle) woman died shortly after arriving to the hospital from just having liposuction. She apparently was in the recovery room of a private clinic for about half an hour before having someone discover that her vitals were way below normal. Before she went into the clinic, she was a size 6….A SIZE 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What self respecting doctor would actually ok and then preform lipo on such a petite woman that clearly didn’t need it! That CAN NOT be healthy! This woman had 23 incisions, liposuction on both legs, buttocks, back, abdomen and chest wall, all during this 1 appointment. What is going on in our society that brings us to go to such great lengths and take such great risks with our health?! Ok, I know I’m currently trying to loose weight, but I’m doing it through diet and exercise, taking my time and know that there is NO WAY I’m EVER going to be a size 6! LOL…. I also would like to point out that I have nothing against a little liposuction if it is ABSOLUTELY necessary, but honey, IMHO a size 6 is NOT! What do you think?
Eww how sad. Thankfully you have much more self confidence and clarity than a size 6 nutcase who still thinks she’s fat. I do feel bad for her and flog that pscyho doctor!

I haven’t been a size 6 since, oh, freshman year in high school? Maybe?
I think people forget sometimes that cosmetic surgery is still surgery! It has risks and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

I do not believe I’ve ever been a size 6. I’m 5′10 for goodness sakes. That’s horrible that she died tho. But she’s dumb.

I’m with QTMama, I’m 6′0′ and I’ll most certainly never, ever be a size 6 and I’d look funny if I was. Something like a praying mantis with a bobble head.

Ok, I have to defend the lady here.
Don’t attack me all at once. I won’t get liposuction-but mostly because I’m BsMommy and I need to stay healthy. I’m a size 2/4 (I wear 4’s but my husband says they are too big), run regularly and eat pretty well-BUT I have not had a moment where I wasn’t constantly analyzing my body since I was…um, I don’t know maybe 5? I apparently was dieting at the age of 8. My mom is very fit, never was hard on me about my weight or anything-it’s just a really annoying part of who I am. When I look in a mirror, I don’t see what all of you would see. When I refer to someone and say, “Oh I don’t know, she’s about my size”, I’m apparently almost always wrong. I see myself about 20-30 lbs heavier than I actually am. I will say, I don’t love how society is and I’ve raised B to be incredibly body confident because I don’t want her to feel this way EVER! She thinks that a body with muscle is a super body that makes her strong and able to run faster and play harder. I tell her every day that she is an amazing person and don’t focus on her physical as much as what kind of person she is. I hear comments such as “she’s SOOOO thin”, and feel envious of it. Even if the person is my size. There you go-we all have our freakish neuroses and that one is mine. So maybe this poor lady felt like I do, and just didn’t have the strength or motivation to stand up to it.

Shannon – I applaud you for standing up and speaking your piece sweetheart, and like I said, I have nothing against a little lipo, (for example…getting rid of the ‘baby pouch’ lol) but this woman had a lot done, all over her body, and all at the same time… and her doctor allowed it! That is what gets me the most…and because of it she died. I appreciate that she may have been image consious, (we all have our vices…don’t get me started on mine! LOL) but her doctor really should have had better sense than do do so much in one visit. I really thought there was a law against that.
You are right, I am a little bit envious of the naturally thin, but I also hear people say they are envious of my hourgalss curves. I guess we all want a little of what someone else has……
