Video Chics...

What's up with all these men wanting Video Chics? You know the kind with no fat on their whole body and look like they have never ate anything in they life from McDonalds. I'm not hating. I use to have a pretty body. But thanks to gaining 40 pounds in my pregnancy and a C-section, that pretty body is gone for life. I have stretch marks every where! Including the back of my knees. How do you get stretch marks in the back of your knees? But I've come to live with them. I have tons of stretch marks on my stomach, along with loose skin. My stomach looks like Freddy Krueger got to it. But what can I do. I can't afford surgery or a tummy tuck. I can loose the weight, but I will never have those sexy TLC abs. Umm, not happening. Not all women get stretch marks. It depends on the elasticity of your skin. Because I have very dry skin, it doesn't stretch too well. I got my first preganancy stretch mark when I was around 7 weeks. I was very bloated during my pregancy and had tons of fluid swelling my stomach, legs, and feet. Not everyone carrys children the same. My pregnancy was an ordeal. One that is not remembered with fondness. But nevertheless, my son is here now, and he's happy and healthy. I'm not looking forward to having anymore children. To be frank, I do not think my son will have any siblings. Unless I marry someone with kids.

It's been said, the average American woman is a size 12-14. Video chics aren't the norm. Most of us are thick in the thighs and have a little baby pudge left over. What surprises me is that men are looking for this "ideal woman." And it's always the men who aren't too "in shape" that long for that petite woman with a big behind. Hey, maybe we can go to the gym together, but don't complain about my bulge, cause you got one too. I'm still strugglin to lose baby weight. A size 6 is not realistic to me. I haven't seen a size six in around 5 or 6 years. I might get there one day, but I have a million and one other stresses to think about. Rent, bills, car notes, insurance. I don't have time to sleep, let alone be in a gym 24/7. Maybe if I didn't have a child. But who knows. Wide hips and thick thighs run in my family. Bottom line fellas, stop looking for a "video chic." Look at the inside first, you might find someone you can love.

Little cars...

I hate little cars. Always have. When I first bought a car, I must admit it was little. But when I started driving more, I needed a sedan. 4 doors please. And is it me? Why are all the hard core speeders driving these little tiny ass cars. They forever getting pulled over. Cavaliers, Ford Focus', Honda civics. Cmon now, when is the last time you saw a Cadillac pulled over for speeding? Maybe because sedans are bigger that they don't look like their going as fast. Who knows. Knock on wood, I've never been pulled over for speeding since I got a big car. It's been like 5 years since I had a ticket. Plus, I'm not a big speeder anyway. How can you drive that little car on the highway without feeling like you're being blown off the road. I don't get it. I need curb weight in my life. Namean? Now I drive a Toyota Avalon. It's a pretty big car. I've had several large cars. An Acura Legend, A Dodge Stratus (not that big) and now the Avalon. I can't see driving a little car. I need room. I don't want to feel like I will be killed if someone side swiped my car. GOD Forbid. I'll take a 1990 Legend Coupe or a 4 door over a brand new Ford Focus anyday. Why? Because people are still driving those Legend Coupes and buying those Legend Coupes, and it's 2002. I doubt very seriously if that Ford Focus would last 12 years. And if it does, nobody is buying it besides the junk yard. My Avalon is a 96, when I bought it, it had a blue book retail value of $14,000. That's saying something. That means, when I sell it, I can still get a nice amount of change for it. Don't get me wrong, Honda civics hold their value as well. But Honda's are very expensive. I can't see paying all that money for that little ass car. I need a V6 in my life. Especially if I'm paying over 10 grand. Hell, my car cost $10,900. People want that much for an old ass civic. Umm don't think so. They can keep that little thing. I need luxury in my life. Or as close to luxury as I can afford.
