Well, it’s upon me. 29. Twiz-niz.
People make a really big deal about (dirty) 30 and 40, but I think 29 and 39 are scarier b-days. All of a sudden there is so much PRESSURE. The inner monologue starts getting buck…
Sara, what are you going to do this year?
Self, are you prepared for the big 3-0?
Sara, [...]

Last night was soooo rough, that I have to share my story with you. Just you, okay? Don’t spread this (literal) shit around… I’ve heard you have kinda’ a big mouth.
So, last night I had to work (yes, this Jew has to work… isn’t that horrible?), as did a few others.  We ordered dinner from [...]

Alls I’m saying is this: Many an African man loves this chubby bitch.
Hold on, hold on, don’t fly off the handle and go calling me a stereotyping Jew! Damn, let a girl explain…

I’ve been falling out of love with The Huffington Post for months now. There are a lot of reasons, but I recently found a doozy: the fact that they publish “experts” like Karen Salmansohn, and her “Winning Weight Loss Tip: It’s Not Just About What You Put in Your Mouth“. Gag me. Here’s what pushed [...]

As I have mentioned before, I’m a chubby lady. Now, let it be known- I’m not afraid of the word fat. Many prefer to use it (particularly those in the fat acceptance movement- and you go, ladies!), but personally, I just like the ring of c-h-u-b-b-y. There is something so fun about it- an ease.
