Strong Women
Strong Women
O is all about strong women.
It does not state that women have to be thin and that all body types are acceptable and pleasing to the eye in their own way of course.
O is not afraid to feature the best traits of women.
I like it because it believes that a woman does not need a man not like those other magazines out there that are like you need a man to complete yourself.
You need to be someone else to capture a guy and that is not true if he is not interested in who you really are then you don't need him.
I mean if you have to act like someone you are not then it is not worse having that person in your life.
The sad fact is that men fear strong women.
They always have and they always will.
Personal I think that is a bunch of hooey.
I think relationships are a bunch of hooey.
Yes it is nice to have someone but sometimes it is not worth the drama.
O magazines
O magazines
I bought this months O magazine and it is the bomb!!!
It is an all woman magazine for women and the stories are really really inspiring.
Its not a chick magazine like a lot of women magazines that are out for women now a days this one features real women and not what those other women magazines say a woman should be.
This is the first O magazine I have read or skimmed over I just bought it so I wouldn't fall a sleep at work something really to keep my mind active.
The recipes are even good they are for people who want to lose weight and keep the weight off so in other words it is healthy eating.
I can't wait to try the recipes and thats saying something since I don't like to cook and I have just the person to try my cooking that way if it turns out to be poisons I will have killed to birds with one stone or something like that.
What I like about O is that they don't say a women needs a man all she needs is to be comfortible in her own skin and everything else will fall into place. while heres hopping thats true.

Why is a woman considered a femanist (man hater) when she is not in a relationship and prefers to spend time with herself.
And of course you are either a femanist or a tomboy while more tomboy if you only have men as friends. And don't do girly things like stand in front of a mirror for hours on in. Mess with make up and other girly things and like girly things and say catty remarks about other women (gossip) Come people there is more to life then whose snogging who and whose cheating on who. Or lie to your best friend about while anything really then turn around and slander her. Or sleep with her boyfriend in her bed or date her boyfriend behind her back.
I'm all for girl power and I believe that women should unite and take back the night.
I can slay my own dragons and fight my own fight ( demons) I don't need to wait for my prince to save me heck I don't even have to wait for a man to do anything for me.
I am not a man hater by any means men are good and they have a role to play in society. But that role is not domenating women or being the sole bread earner or protecting the little women from her self because she is to helpless to do anything for her self.
That kind of thinking really makes me sick. When I am with a guy I am with a guy because I want to be not because I have to have some strong protector looking out for me.
I am a Lois Lane neither of us need men but we want to be a part of a connection as long as they don't baby us (Or smother us)and treat as equals we are quite content to be in a relationship.
I've always related to strong female role models like Tasha Yar from Star Trek The Next Generation, Lois Lane from Superman, Sara Connor from Terminator ( not like she was in the first movie but what she became after that) Dax from Deep Space Nine although in her case she had been a man before she became a female which I think was a smart move on her part. The point I am trying to make is that I like strong women. I like women who know that they do not need a man to make them complete.

This morning Jon and I were interviewed live on KUER's RadioWest with Doug Fabrizio (that same old dude who interviewed me for Utah Now), and man are those people rude. First they frisked us when we walked in the door, and the security guard demanded to know what I had hiding in my shirt. And I was all, that's not a gun, that's a padded bra, but thanks for asking. GLAD WE CLEARED THAT UP HERE IN THE LOBBY IN FRONT OF 15 STRANGERS. Then they proceeded to drip water on my head throughout the entire interview, my guess is to distract me from all the muffled, terrified screaming I could hear coming from the closet, which I later found out is where they store their slaves. Sex slaves. Not to mention the fact that Doug repeatedly turned off his mike in between questions to insult my mother.
You can listen to the entire hour-long interview here, but if you're in a hurry I come in at about the 20 minute mark, Jon comes in toward the very end. As you listen to this I want you to imagine trying to hold it together while being interviewed by someone who routinely eats panda bears.

We found an excellent stand at the farmer's market on Saturday selling adorable reusable shopping bags. Leta's yellow polka dot school bag died a couple of weeks ago and we've been using whatever we could find around the house since then. So I walked her through the booth and had her pick out her favorite bag. She chose this one, of course, it being pink, and it SAVED OUR LIVES this morning when she kept moaning and wailing, "I can't go to school because I'm not feeeeeeeling well!" (She'd been sick yesterday and over the weekend) And I said, well then I guess you'll have to wait another day to take your new bag to school to show your friends. Which dried up her tears instantly, and suddenly school was her favorite place in the world. Do you know how intoxicating the power of parenthood can be sometimes?

This is one of Leta's skirts, and the elastic around the waist is so strong that even though I took this photo over a half hour ago he's still got it on his head. And he's chewing a rawhide bone right now, his head jiggling here and there, so you can understand it when I say that I don't miss working in an office one bit.

My mother gave me two pots of flowers for Mother's Day, and now that summer has finally set it I'm having a hard time keeping these alive. If I don't water them twice a day they pretend to fall over dead. This has happened three times now, I'll look out the window and think OH GOD, I killed the flowers. And then I'll go dump several cups of water on them and they're all JUST KIDDING! I think they need some Zoloft.

Saturday afternoon I checked my mailbox and found a package from a reader named Lindsey full of t-shirts silkscreened with images of the characters from Land of the Lost. I bet half of my readers haven't ever heard of that television show, and if you're one of those people then I am very sorry that your childhood was so unfulfilling. I bet you never owned a My Pretty Pony either. These are surely unresolved issues that you should bring up next time your family gets together for dinner, right after your father turns to your sister and says, "You were always the pretty one."
I was so excited about these shirts that I actually stripped right there in the kitchen to put one on. I gave a cursory glance over my shoulder to see if there were any neighbors passing by the house, and Jon just shook his head because he knows that even if there had been I would have stripped anyway. It's not that I'm trying to tempt the old Mormon up the street, it's just I'd have to walk several feet into another room to find a place that you can't see from the street and that is just too sensible. The part of my brain that would tell me to walk to another room is missing. It's the same part of the brain that would stop me from putting on a pair of five-inch heels when I know I'm going to be walking half a mile uphill. In that situation all my brain says is THAT'S WHY GOD MADE BAND AIDS!
I chose to wear the shirt featuring a portrait of Chaka, a small chimpanzee-like humanoid:
After I pulled it over my head and straightened it out over the top of my shorts Leta took a step back to admire it.
"I love your shirt, Mama," she said. I was waving my outstretched fingers around it like a model on The Price is Right, and before I could thank her she continued, "Is that a picture of Daddy?"
