Pictures/Design

FYI: I am in the process of re-designing this blog, just so that it reflects me better. I need to get some pics up here too. All in good time people, all in good time.

Soul Mates?

Sooooo, as long as I've been alive, I've been hearing about soulmates. Apparently everyone has one on this Earth and we won't be truly happy unless me find them. After what 20 years of wanting mine and not finding the dashing man that is my soul's true match; I'm beginning to wonder if this is a true concept? I don't know too many happy couples...well, maybe a few. But everyone is cheating and getting divorced. No one is staying together, no one I know is truly happy with their mate. Its just hard to believe the whole soulmate concept . Are the soulmates just hard to find? Are they hiding? WTF? Seems like the only compatible people are the princes and princesses in Disney movies (shout out to Belle and the Beast! My favorite Disney couple). LOL. All I know is if mine is out there somewhere, make yourself be known asap! Chauni is closing up shop until you arrive!!! LMAO!

That is all!

New Wave Slang

I've noticed some interesting slang floating around Hollywood lately, particularly coming from the Kardashians! Haha! Some of it is hella insane and child like but I like it just the same. Some of my faves are:





Slob-kabob-Kourtney K.


Douche Lord-Khloe O-K


"You have to bible"-all Kardashians



I'll update this list later. But yes, its hilarious to me. I'd also like to post some of my unique slang that I use everyday!!



"O.M.-Gizzle"

" Gee Wiz-ard" remake of Gee Wiz"

..that's all I can remember right now. LOL.

I dream of Backstreet Boys

Man oh man do I miss the early 2000s. Brittany Spears was so hot then, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, N'Sync, and my personal fave, the Backstreet Boys! Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely, I Want it That Way...come on!! Music baby music! I miss this. I miss what this music mean to me back then-way back when I was in middle school. That music made me dream of dating a cute blonde boy, going to prom and being prom queen! (None of these things happened by the way, well accept the blonde. Shout out to Josh Edwards. lol) But with all that said, can someone tell me what the song "I want it that way" means? It has NEVER made sense to me, even though I love the song. I just wanna know what they want and what way do they want it?

Anyway, just thought I'd share that. Mwah!!

Visions of Me

I would like to start this post by telling folks a little bit about myself. I am 5'6" 1/2 and a pretty curvy chick. I've always been thicker. Now I know what some of you might be thinking-no I'm not fat as hell and trying to make is sound better. I actually am pretty thick with hips and all that. And proud thank you very much. I rock an 18 size jean, XL top etc. Now.....I used to be just thick (I know ALL people have their own definition of thick. To thick is a well proportion woman that just happens to have boobies and booty and hips, bumps and curves you catch my drift?). When I was just thick I wore a 14/16 but it was all hips, I was kinda pear shaped now that I think about it. Andyway... In high school I was...wooh and now I...need some work : ). I have reportedly gained 50lbs since I graduated from high school four years ago!! Now, most of that was from depression (honest to God) and me being in denial about how much weight I was actually gaining. I just ate whatever I wanted, WHEN ever I wanted in whatever amount I desired. Bad Bad Bad!!

I had a wake up call oh...three months ago when my lovely doctor (shout out to my lovely British OB-GYN!) told me that I might be at risk for Diabetes. I was like...say what? Diabetes? You mena like Insulin shots and my feet swellin up and blood sugar-pricking my finger to test my blood sugar? Me, Chauni?!!!

It was then that I decided that I need to change. I instantly stopped eatting fried stuff, ate only salads and Lean Cuisines, low fat yogurt etc. I started going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I'd stay like 2.5 hours no joke! I actually enjoyed it. And the weight lifing, and the men at the gym...
Anyway...I did that for what....10 weeks, all the while expecting weight to just fall off. Two years ago I did a 1350 calorie diet and lost like 20 pounds in a month. Yeah, it was great! I also took Slim Quick and some other pills..Fire Balls...
nothing happened. I didn't loose a signal pound! I did notice some change in my arms..barely. I then gave up! I felt like I could eat what I want and not excercise if I wanted to stay the same size so I quit. This was in May.

Now it's July and...I've seen the light. Again. One of my idols, Jennifer Hudson is the new spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. I'll admit when I first saw her campaign I was alittle upset. She's like a size four now and I don't ever want to be that small. But I realized that it's more about being healthy. So I thought hmm...maybe I should try that...but decided I didn't want to pay them $40.00 a month (the monthly fee where I am).

Like two nights ago I was watching my girls the Kardashians. I love these girls, obviously. My fave is Ms. Khloe. Anyway, I was looking her over and-I've always admired her body-in a "not attracted to her" kind of way. I just really think she is nicely proportion and looks great. I also know that she is does the low carb think and coincidently so does my mom. My mom's body is great too and so is Khloe's. So I thought, why don't I try that? No bread, Splenda, bye-bye mashed potatoes. Just for a month to start off. Let's see how much weight falls off. My mom always said to me "Once you really want to loose weight, you know what to do". And so...there it is.

I've said aaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll of that (and I know it was a lot) to say, I'm going Low-Carb! I'm doing this to keep form being diabetic and because I kinda miss how I used to look. I do want to make a statement that I am not at all trying to become all skinny. My friend Shawn from work (Shout out Shawn!!) thinks I have something against skinny people which is so not true!! I do however embrace my thickiness and don't aspire to be anything else just because society favors something else. Kinda like my sistas and natural hair. I'msure they don't have a problem with people with chemically straightened hair, they just desire something else. LOL. Off subject again I know, I know, I'm a rambler what can I say!

Umm...where was I, oh yeah...I do initially only want to loose 25 lbs but more is welcome. Let's see. I'll keep blogging about my progress! Oh and I'll be uploading some pictures soon. Pics of me now, where I was, and eventually where I will be.

Mwah!

Yah me!!

Fluff

This post will be short. I just wanted to take the time to thank the genius (whoever he or she might be) who created Fluff!!! The first time I had fluff I was at Girl Scout camp many many years ago. At that time I was like, what the hell is this? haha!! I had some last Tuesday for the first time since then and was blown away! Why would we even waste time on actual marshmellow when Fluff! Exists! Wooh! I bought a jar a few days ago and just enjoyed some at my desk. Yum.

And I love that Fluff doesn't have gelatin in it which I just found out is made from animal bone marrow. Strange.

But anyway, Fluff is what's up!!!

Fourth of July

Today is my 22nd Independance day. And I love that I'm spending it at work. LOLYeah right! Bored, one of my co-workers was looking through a celebrity blog and came across a picture of Snookie from that Jersey reality show on MTV (obviously I don't watch this show otherwise I would remember the name). In the picture she was like wrapped up in a Flag and for some reason, this picture is on several other websites. In fact there is a whole blog dedicated to this stupid pictures. Ridiculous.

This brings me to this:

What the hell is the world coming to? We are like really obsessed with people and for any reason possible. There are fifty million reality shows and even though I am a die hard fan of plenty of them, why are we soooo into this? There's a show to watch people with addictions, a show about dumb people in New Jersey, Whitney Houston had one, Trey Songz has one....why? I'll admit they are addictive as all hell, like sick guilty pleasures, but I don't know why. Why do I care that random people I don't know do on a daily basis? I also wonder if I had my own show, would it be equally popular? I dunno. But its funny that they have totally taken over!

I wonder what the television craze will be in ten years? What will my kids watch? Hmm...


That is all...

The Beginning

So, I've been wanting to write a blog forever and hadn't the faintest idea what to write about. But yesterday (or was it a few days before that?) it dawned on me what I should write about. Let me set up the scene for you....

I was in the shower (sorry about the visual) with Pandora blasting on my blackberry (Miss Berry if you're nasty!! LOL) Savage Garden playing (note: I am not a Savage Garden fan, but the song that was playing was totally my song back in like Middle School...). With my little poofy thing covered in Caress shower gel, I began to think about an episode of The Real Housewives of New York that I'd just saw on tv and how much I don't like some of the bitches on there now! This whole season has been completely bananas and whenever I watch it I'd like yell at the tv and completely embarass myself...

Recapping that under the hot water made me realize that...I actually have a lot to say. I have an opinion on soooo much in this world and what a better way to express it than in a blog. And this blog would reflect me. as the lovable shining star I am, and put out there the way I feel about this and that..and whatever popped into my head!! TV shows, celebrities, world news, my life...whatever tickles my fancy!

I got excited there in the shower as I discovered a new hobby!! Hooray for Chauni! So here it goes, the beginning of something great!!! Woo-hoo!!
