So that "fat-shaming" youtuber Nicole Mcdouceypants lost a film job because of her video www.etonline.com/news/171683_nicole_arbour_fired_after_fat_shaming_video_backlash/

She continues to give zero shits

"I feel it's really important that we make fun of everybody," she told Time. "I think [what] brings us together and unites us as people is that we can poke fun at all of us."

Oh. Okay. As someone whose BMI qualifies me as obese that video did not make me feel like she is a person trying to unite people. Does she make videos making fun of gay people? Disabled people? Probs not. 

I like how she was like "I didn't want that job anyway" when the director came out as saying she was going to be involved but due to her video was rejected. 

Orly?  I think you're just trying to act tough and save face.

I have been MIA for way too long. ::waves::

I just realized that my period will probably show up at exactly the time that the Pope comes to Philly. Philly is exploding with Popenes so everything is closing that Thursday - Tuesday (9/24 to 9/29). I'll need a monitoring appointment right in there. My RE's office has already said that no non-mandatory appointments will be happening in that time frame.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeff. I'm excited for the Pope but not for skipping yet another cycle.

[rablissful]

penguin129 the cake came out awesome!

LadyNymeria have fun on vacation!

mosdub she is a twat, plain and simple.

joy ugh, I would hope they consider a monitoring appointment necessary. I'd be furious if they didn't and had to sit out another cycle.


AFM, it's cd2, I feel like complete shit and I have to go down to my parents' later today. I just want to curl up and snuggle with my dog and kitten all day.

I just emailed and asked.  I'd like to come to terms with it now and not on CD1 when they say "Yeah, no."  We'll see!

Seriously - Philly is going balls to the walls over the Pope.  There are fences, secure zones, no park zones - and these zones cover miles and miles of the city.  The Pope comes on 9/26 and the city announced that they will start towing cars out of the no car zone starting 9/20.  My house is barely outside of the highest security zone.  It's going to be MADNESS. 

I don't fault Philly for two reasons: 1. It's more the FBI that is dictating how this is going to go down and 2. Philly does NOT want to be remembered as the place that killed Pope Francis.  Security measures are insane.  It has a lot of people bitching, but I don't begrudge them doing what they think they need to do. 

What's awesome is that my husband and I scored tickets to Pope Francis's speech at Independence Hall that Saturday and we live two blocks from the other two events on Sunday.  We'll be able to hear everything, but can go in our house to hide from the crazy crowds.  Philly is saying tens of thousands in the secure zone but several hundred thousand just outside of it.  Hello, that's where I live!

I have friends who are thinking about selling food and drink from their front steps.  I may do that, too!

I GOT MY FIRST STITCH FIX.

It's really fun! I loved 4/5 items, but if you buy all 5 items it gives you a 25% discount. I did the math and it was only a 16 dollar difference so I just kept all 5 and figured I could take the last one to a consignment shop or something.

if it's an accessory or you know someone who is your size, I would save it as a spare gift!

I end up keeping everything most of the time but there's usually one thing I would've sent back without the discount. They always get me. But...I love getting my box! My next one isn't until October and I'm antsy already waiting!

I ate my weight in pumpkin donuts. Now a 25 mile bike ride to burn off the 1000 calories. It's in the 60s and I'm going to freeze.

What a day!  Have fun biking!  You'll get your body temp up and the cool wind will feel good!  

The wind is insane. We just rode on th river. Cobbles and sprints done. Now off to the "mountains" and the finals laps.

It's a dress:


It could really be cute but I feel like it looks like a potato sack on me.  I'm not terribly well endowed so it hid what little action I do have up there.  I have some friends that I could offer it to, maybe I'll do that first.

That's cute! Did you try it on with a belt? Dresses like that usually need one.

That might be cute!  It also would look cute with a cardigan, but then you'd be hiding the lacey shoulders.

Guessing this is sideways. DNQ.

These are my favorites from the box (not me in the pics, I creeped and found other people wearing them)

We must have similar style!   

[hydrangea1019]

I am so basic: Starbucks, Target, and Old Navy this morning. This is why it is a bad idea for DH to work on the weekends lol

Also, the entire Pumpkin wall at Joanne Fabrics makes me want to buy all the over priced, glittery things they sell!

akraus2015, your day sounds fantastic! I really hope we get some decently cool whether this year
penguin129, You're cake looks awesome!!!
LadyNymeria, enjoy!!!

Yall just inspired me to sign up, but now I'm pouting my first box won't come until next month

I know it takes a while when you're excited but it's worth it!  

[jubilantsquirrel]

I love the tops and the dress mosdub! I get my first Stich Fix today and I'm really excited!

[easilyunamused]

'Ello lovelies! I want to stitch fix! Is it expensive?

I'm finally getting my stuff together to change my name on my passport. Makes me sad that I haven't needed it to flee the country for the past 2 years.

joy, that sounds crazy and a once in a lifetime experience!

[TheEleventhHour]

Love those two items mosdub!

I loved my first Stitch Fix but nothing fit except for a pair of jeans (which I kept and lurve) even though I asked for the largest sizes I can't wait to try again once I lose a bit of weight. I'm just too borderline on sizes right now.

[TheEleventhHour]

joy I was thinking about you recently because I wasn't sure if the Pope had come yet and I knew you had mentioned a few months ago about possibly renting out your house. I think it is probably smart to keep your hideaway from the crowds though! That all sounds nuts but amazing you get to see him speak. I am zero percent religious but he is a pretty badass pope.

I also got a pair of fabulous jeans.  They are so soft and aren't super low rise (how do people find that comfortable anyway?)  That is frustrating that nothing else fit, I'm sorry

This basically describes me.  I'm not religious in a traditional sense (or a drop Catholic), but I think Francis is sorta awesome.  The position of Pope is such a historically powerful position and I think he's doing some really good things with his role.  I'm thrilled that my city is getting the honor of hosting him.  Move my car, you say?  Sure thing!

[icaughtfire]

I'm going to the winery for the first time! It's gonna be hot as balls but who cares because wine!

[titania]

joy I'm so jealous that you get tickets to hear the Pope speak! He is saying Mass here in DC a few times, but the parishes in the area only got like 10 tickets each. MH and I are going to try and get a space on the parade route, but it looks like it will be pretty crazy with security (understandably so) so hopefully we will get in.
