Haha! So after pushing my self to stay thin, eat very little, I had to much curves so I used to tape my breasts, hold my breath for photographs, and often worked out harder than anyone else. Pushed my self to extremes. So thought I was pretty hot stuff when it came to my arts, come to find out Im too tall, too busty, my hips are too wide, and was too fat, when I wasn't! Well maybe now, as I am approaching thirty, and have had two kids, and heaps of accidents rendering me in capable of excersizing like I used to. So by default I learned the art of making food, and then I became a foodie, even though it stands to point out it kills me to stand for long periods of time. I've also taken up book reading, and being a mom. Going to college too, and not for any particular reason or degree, just to go. :) *HUGS* you write beautifully, you are gorgeous, your kids are adorable! Keep on shining!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404243827145330152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101178666386373711.post-28588889194745738732009-09-20T01:20:36.341-07:002009-09-20T01:20:36.341-07:00I like the personal format. It's nice to hear...I like the personal format. It's nice to hear about JUST you. Your family and kids are great too, but I can see why you wanted a special place to express more of yourself.<br /><br />That's heartbreaking about your art school experience. I felt similarly about my equestrian schooling. I had high hopes and was disappointed when I wasn't succeeding as well as I thought I should. I pushed myself in all the wrong directions and couldn't do it like everyone else. I too feel that I see life a lot differently than most other people.<br /><br />Did you design the butterfly on this blog? It's really cool, even if you just picked it out.Ms. Hobbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290186583442947497noreply@blogger.com
