I had been so scrupulous in avoiding skin irritants all my life that the joint involvement showed up years before anyone realized that my "contact dermatitis" was actually something quite a bit more severe than that.<BR/><BR/>Oddly, with one gene test, I went from being perceived as "high maintenance" to "incredibly stoic and upbeat". I also joined the ranks of the officially disabled. And if you are going to be disabled, you should have the good sense (like me) to come down with something recognized by the Social Security Adminstration (and hence insurance companies).badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-38461226510930004552008-11-11T12:12:00.000-08:002008-11-11T12:12:00.000-08:00I haven't read that book yet, but I love to read t...I haven't read that book yet, but I love to read those style/fashion/wardrobe books, so I shall check into it. I am definitely guilty of the "frosting" not "cake" problem.<BR/><BR/>I have also put off a few things as I am in weight transition mode, kind of in fits and starts. The first 20 are gone, but the next five have been slowly yo-yoing as we have been in a stressful couple of weeks with tests and yet new (minor) medical problems. Still I think that looking good at any weight is important and I am trying to keep outfits that look good at whatever stage I might be occupying. I just don't want to make something overly complicated or expensive until I either reach goal or stop actively pursuing it. There have been too many interruptions in life to make me want to put off looking good for some esoteric goal that may not take place.<BR/><BR/>I have been putting a few things aside that will be perhaps worth saving or altering. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>And Happy Birthday to Iris!Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-2259560870775576132008-11-10T09:06:00.000-08:002008-11-10T09:06:00.000-08:00lol @ your cake....still looks good though.lol @ your cake....still looks good though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-47738679561223475132008-11-10T08:42:00.000-08:002008-11-10T08:42:00.000-08:00I own that same book, and I think I owe it to myse...I own that same book, and I think I owe it to myself to re-read it and take away some good lessons. I'm so guilty of making do with my "fat clothing" and not giving my body the nice clothing it deserves, regardless of size. Whether there is more or me or less of me, don't I deserve to look like me and feel divine in my clothing? Yes!<BR/>Happy Birthday to Iris. <BR/>Very clever candle use/re-use!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631687084204022574noreply@blogger.com
