THIS FAT OLD LADY HAS A GOOD BODY

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Every body is a good body. It’s true. Even if parts of your body don’t work as well as you would wish, or as well as they used to, every day your body does amazing things. Take an anatomy class, you’ll be blown away to…

ONLY GOD CAN DRY A FAT OLD LADY

I swear it’s true. After my shower, I can dry dry dry (and we all know 3 in a row wins) with my fluffy towel, and still I’m not totally dry. Face it, fat old ladies have many nooks and crannies and they seem to store water better than a camel in the desert. Being…

THIS FAT OLD LADY AIN’T AFRAID OF SHIT

  Not even cat shit, which we all know is the nastiest shit there is. Personally, I believe that most (if not all) women are born with a gene that allows them to deal with shit (literally). It makes evolutionary sense. Who else is going to deal with centuries of dirty diapers? Anyhow. Our beautiful…

THIS FAT OLD LADY GETS COOKING

THIS FAT OLD LADY LOVES MAKING CURLY SCARVES

Anybody need/want a curly scarf? For as long as I have been seeing these things, I have been intrigued by curly/frilly scarves. When I was at BayCon (our local science fiction convention) last year, I went to a crafting workshop to learn how to do amigurami, and while waiting for the workshop to start, the…

THIS FAT OLD LADY HATES THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER

  The itsy bitsy spider was in my bed last night He wandered down my leg and took more than one bite. Now the itsy bitsy spider is underneath my bed And if the cats would do their job that fucker would be dead.   I’m allergic to spider bites (in fact most insect bites),…
