Clinging to My Sanity

I've retired the mom blog (mom's historic warm, fuzzy affirmations are still available in the archives (posts labeled 'mom blog' and, for the best of those, 'classic')). I enjoyed the years of fat talk and running commentary on my hair and personality as much as you did, but mom moved on and so must the blog.

About Me

Anonymous
This was once a mom blog, first inspired by mom's obsession with my (not) seeking employment at Google, in spite of the interwebs' conviction that it was the best place to work, ever. Then, in 2007, mom moved on to fill these pages (without knowing it) with running commentary on my apparently massive girth: a gut so distracting that it stops conversation and a butt that is, in her words, "huge." In late 2012, Mom shifted focus to my wretchedness, in which I am undateable and only have friends because they're being polite. At this time, mom has drastically cut back on the verbal abuse, so this is officially no longer a mom blog, although mom's rants will still have a place here. As do my own.
