Weeks are long. Idol is a nightmare. Sunday’s are dirty. Let’s relive it together.
This week, we launched something on Curvy Girl Guide that we are so proud of. We’re getting real about our weight. GASP! I know, right. You know the weight you tell people you are? Like the bitch at the DMV. The nosey nurse who you talk out of weighing you at the doctors office. The toothless man guessing weights at the fair. We aren’t talking about that weight. We’re talking about the real one, the scary one, the one that totally sucks when you’re on your period and living on Klondike Bars. Check it out, it’s liberating, in a burn your bras, drink wine from the bottle in your panties watching a Hoarders marathon, kind of way.
Oh, and I also shared the recipe that gets me laid the most. My steak marinade. With our attempts to up Jude’s mineral intake, we eat this steak at least twice a week, and the kids know how to help me make this by heart.
On High Chair Critics this week, I’m talking about how the grocery has turned into the third circle of hell now that I have three kids.
Whenever I think about maybe dying my hair blond again, I remember THIS.
You know when sometimes there are movies that Dane Cook isn’t a gigantic douche in? I’ve taken a break from my current favorite, Grown Ups, and was sucked into Dan in Real Life the other day. It’s an old favorite of mine, and now this is stuck in my head. Thanks for breaking my heart, Steve Carell.
Yesterday the wire poked out of my last good bra. You know how on those medical shows, when a doctor stumbles upon some sort of victim in a convenient store or dirty subway terminal, and they have to go all MacGyver by jamming a pen or straw into their side to drain a collapsed lung? It feel like that. Andy could not begin to grasp how big of a deal this was. His indifference has just earned him an afternoon bra shopping, wherein I will try on 400 bras, and he will sit in the waiting area with three kids.
*sings* Best Sunday everrrrrrrr.
I like the blonde hair!!
Thinking of going myself!
it’s so funny i did last night! i thought it was crap but i got great compliments today! i think now it’s summer, lightening up your hair and i look tannner now too so, go for it, it makes the summer pastels and whites pop
Hysterical! Would love to be a fly on the wall watching Andy for that one. :) I think about going blonde again all the time. Then I look at photos and come back down to earth (no matter how many ex-boyfriends tell me I look better blonde…maybe that’s why I didn’t marry them!) Have a happy Sunday Brittany.
Hysterical! I’d love to be a witness to that shopping trip. Sometimes I fantasize about being blonde again. Then I look at photos and come back to earth. (I just can’t go there again no matter how many ex-boyfriends tell me I look better blonde – after all, I didn’t marry them!) Have a happy Sunday Brittany.
Ha ha, that’ll teach him to show some sensitivity to boob emergencies! Be sure to REALLY take your time in that lingerie store. Perhaps you won’t find what you like in the first store and will have to move on to a second one…… I think that I’ll go check out your Curvy Girl Guide now. Have a great Sunday!
huh, you should push him into conversation with the scary ladies who always are trying to measure you. you can see their eyes zero in on your boobs as soon as you walk towards the underwear department and then they are approaching you offering a free fitting and staring at your chest?? they lurk around the dressing room even when you refuse them *shudder* i was so scarred as a kid when my mom would take me, now i wont do it my last bra was this expensive wonder from england i bought online, that was a mistake, no the last one was from target a hot pink sports bra, i got so flustered with the male clerk that i ran into a door on the way out. i just assumed i was chill enough for the male clerk… BRAS!!!!
AWESOME CGG post!!! I’ve oft told my husband that I wish everyone just walked around with their weight on their shirt like that really weird episode of Tyra where she told everyone to kiss her fat ass. Really, Tyra? I’m so proud of (all of) you for putting that out there like that. Are you still cutting the size out of your jeans as soon as you get them home from the store? Own it, girl . . . you’re hot!
my 3 1/2 yr old son, Quin, just ran over and said “who is that?” and pointed at your picture..then he said “she is CUTE”.. and pointed at GiGi :) i said ‘they are all cute’, to which he said “no, she is the mama, mama’s aren’t cute, you aren’t cute, so she isn’t cute” .. WTF??? who the hell taught him that… i mean, impressive logic, but total BS….time to re-program Quin cuz you are totally cute too!
That picture is the greatest EVER!!
Ha..I don’t even know where to begin, there are so many great avenues to comment about. But, because I am ALSO still in my jammies and having the inlaws for dinner, I am just going to dive into the steak marinade and get on with it. Hopefully it will work for lamb…
I have some scuzzy bras myself, and I refuse, REFUSE to give up on them, since they don’t even make that version anymore. They’re somewhere between enhancing but not a ludicrous demi–push up. I want mine to look like boobs, just slighty better. So, hanging onto the bras that are starting to turn into a weird color. Yes, I am. I am. I am so.
Also, the blond is a whole lotta upkeep, jus-sayin’. I have been there, and am now happily coloring my hair from a box for $10, whenever I take a notion, and saving the $120 dye and highlighting waste of 3 hours of my life. Even my former colorist is saying “I REALLY like that color. Yeah? Tell it to Loreal Feria. I slapped it on while I watched bad tv in my underwears.

I like the blonde! PLUS people don’t expect much from you. Trust me, I know.
boobs are so weird, they are so sensitive and so tough., when that would happen to me in high school i would ignore it and then at the end of the day find that my boob had oddly molded around the wire and there was a huge purple mark. still a small purple mark there now (fair skin) but who is lifting up my boob to check? no one.
To help you with the bra search, Soma bra’s are absolutely amazing, my whole family wears them! I own one but got a super lacy impractical one that itches but besides that it was really comfortable ha!
OMG that picture is precious!! :)
At least at the end of your Sunday, your boobs will look gorgeous and you’ll have to fight Andy off with threats of no more marinated steak. Also, try Fredericks of Hollywood for bras-the only bras that hold my boobs in, and look good whilst doing it. And can I just say that your website now qualifies as PORN? Not because of the super adorable picture at the top, but according to my school’s wi fi, Barefoot Foodie has got it going on like Donkey Kong. Just thought I’d let you know-is it bad that the comparison of this wonderful blog to porn is what prompted my first comment?
Absolutely LOVE the picture and reminds me of Good Morning America’s weekend edition where they’d show random people holding up a sign with I believe 5 words having to do with either their week or life.
Have a fantastic week – craziness, laughable, wine-inducing and all!!
That is an adorable photo & your hair looks amazing in it.
Don’t you just hate it when your bra turns on you? I’ve actually fixed those problems with duct tape before. Unfortunately, I’m down to one last “Wear in public” bra and it’s only a matter of time before my normally huge, but now gigantic pregnancy boobs take it out.
You are SO beautiful!
