OK, I'm dumping the astrology

This is my horoscope for today: not good:

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
While a conversationalist, much of what you say seems to lack substance. You have difficulty holding extended conversations but can move to one topic after another. This may be good in large gatherings.

Would a blog be considered a large gathering? Does it matter that i am paying for the horoscope feature. Hmmmm....

Find it!!

Are you reading my blog??? R U???? I have hidden a special weight loss/sex technique somewhere on this blog and you must find it!!! Ready . . . set . . . go!!!

Luv ya, suZen

F the President




OK, I am not a political gal, but I saw this sticker on Mindy's baby blue benz this morning after pilates . . . and I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I'm thinking, do I 'get' this bumper sticker? (Not do I buy one, but do I understand it . . .) Turns out I did! And, maybe I will!!! Check out the web site: http://fthepres.blogspot.com/

And more funnies. Keep going to the bottom of the blog, where they talk about stamps, (WTF???) and also Cheny's UnQUAILified . . .messy red version. Enjoy!

For those more conservative, you can do the "blue dot in a red state" so you don't have to 'splain it to the kiddies. http://www.bwcitypaper.com/1editorialbody.lasso?-token.folder=2006-04-06&-token.story=158456.112112&-token.subpub==
I like it that people can make clever fun of all of our politicians. I certainly have seen my share of Hilary& Bill jokes, etc. All I can say is, Barbara is OK by me . . .
P.S. I find the F word very humorous. It is perfectly OK language in the U.K., so why not here???
P.P.S. I think that blue dot looks like a funky/psychedelic 'land of the rising sun' flag, not so good.

Summer diet tips




Post your tips here! From You on a Diet by Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D.

Facts and tips- easy to do:




  1. q: Which spice has been shown to be helpful for controlling weight? a: cinnamon



  2. q: Which strategy is the most recommended for people trying to lose weight? a: Eating a handful of nuts helps you stay full, while skipping meals causes your body to go into a fat-storing mode.



  3. q. which prescription medicines help with weight loss? a: buprioprion (Wellbutrin) has been shown to help control cravings and leads to a 7 percent weight loss. Celexa and lexapro can decrease appetite. Other antidepressants, such as tricyclic and SSRI's(like prozac) are associated with weight gain. (BUMMER!)


  4. Non prescription medicines such as caffeine and nicotine suppress the appetite and speed metabolism, also increasing heart rate.



  5. What is the best exercise for long term weight loss? a: adding muscle through resistance helps your body burn more fat throughout the day.



  6. Drugs that influence serotonin (the feel-good brain chemical): Meridia - can lose 7 percent of their weight but not much more.



  7. Drugs that influence GABA (anesthesia and antiseizure meds, slow you down): topamax and zonisamide cause your brain to signal you to eat less, but has serious side effects.



  8. drugs that influence your gut - by inhibiting the digestion of fat: zenical - lose about 10 percent of your body weight. Also helps with cholesterol. Disadvantage - less absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A,D and E.



  9. drugs that influence absorption of sugar: precose.




  10. drugs that decrease intestinal sensitivity (like irritable bowel syndrome): zelnorm, increases neurotransmitters so you may eat less.



  11. supplements like hoodia have been shown to eat 1000 fewer calories per day. unfortunately, there is fraud in this marketplace and it's hard to know who is legitimately selling it. Garcinia has also been shown to help decrease body weight by 5 percent in eight weeks.

Breast Cancer fundraiser at Soda Salon in June!

Probably can't see all that well, but I went with dark brown base, blonde highlights and a little, itty bitty pink streak which I can hide with a barrette . . . later, I got some strange looks at the grocery store. Not the first time!!!
BTW, Soda Salon in Roswell will be doing a fundraiser for breast cancer and will probably announce it next week! They will be offering

pale pink and hot pink extensions for $20 per - with $15 going to charity. You can do one, or you can do many. You can bet that I will be there!!! In fact, they will be having an art party on the next Alive after Five in Roswell, which I believe is June 21 st . . . and the whole event is moved down to the 120/Alpharetta Highway park area.
Ask for Erin . . . she's the one that u want!

Girls Who Won't Post

You guys are emailing me the funniest comments so I am cutting and pasting them here: (you need to click on the comments and put them there, and you can be anonymous if you want!):

RE: Booby trap:
OK – we need a new measuring system. Instead of rolling them up and stuffing them into a cup – we could measure the length, which takes into account the sag factor. If we measured in millimeters, then they would sound really impressive – the saggier they become, the more impressive they sound.

Soooooooo, who says "pear shape" is bad??? Who really believes that Victoria Secrets models are REAL!!!!! I have a negative triple A, and sueded pouch middle --- don't talk to me about my "big butt". I have a husband of 27 years, 3 kids, lots of good friends and none of them care what I look like -- it does NOT define who I am. So.....there...........naaanee naanee booboo. I truly miss Yvonne..

Your blog and the V secret is so funny! After blowing way WAy too much money there for bras that make no more of an impact on me than ones from target - I stuck with Target!
As far as the cute underwear ( now that we are getting personal) I do go for the pink. All those colors and prints are just too cute. Now the fabric is again not better than Target or kohls but neither of those are the Pink logo. Something to be said for being roped in by a name especially when the name is a princess color! Victoria has us and it is no secret!!

Battle of the Bulge(s)

OK, so I went on the Victoria's Secret website to look at the swimsuits, and realize they sell the tops and bottoms separately in bra and panty sizes. So I decided that it was high time to pull out my tape measure and get real about what my size really was. There is a hot chick who demonstrates how to measure for bras, btw. I measured around my ribcage under my "bust" (now, that truly is a good name for my cleavage or lack thereof) and was horrified to find that I am a size 29!!! They don't even have bra sizes under 32!!!!! Wait a minute . . . .something's wrong here . . . .Oh, sexy chick says add five inches to determine band size. Wheew. Back to a 34. Now to measure the cup size . . . fortunately I will spare the details but apparently I am a size AAAA. Bummer. My cup runneth under. At least if I were AAA I would get car servicing. Whilst I had the tape measure out I decided to check on what really happened to my body from birthing three bighead babies. Since my bust had not changed I tackled my hips. Same as before. Now, how could that be? Waist . . . was 6 inches bigger than b4 childbirth!!!! AAAAARRRRGGHHH. I am now the classic pear shape. I think I will just get a speedo.

And I want your comments


So please feel free!

Clarification: re: men behaving badly

After receiving a few worried emails, wanted to clarify that this was meant to be somewhat humorous . . . and it's not about Steve (this time) :-) All is well . . .

Men Behaving Badly

Well, face it girls: that's what our men do. How much do we put up with? When do we threaten to end it? All I can say is, I've been there. It happens. If it repeats, you have to walk. But what about the first time? This is your chance to set the ground rules!!! Do not be weak - seize the moment. Second time around - these are idle threats. You must be ready - you must be organized. Have your list ready. Suggestions (thank you - U know who U R): 1)2+ carats 2) car of your dreamz 3) decorating allowance 4)cleaning staff that comes at least once per week. Need I go on? Yes, you don't deserve it. Yes, you can clean up!!! Literally!
