From Fat to . . . Fabulous? Stay with me as I attempt to lose half of myself. Thursday, April 28, 2016. A Superlative Movie Festival! Brunie and I started planning this event about five minutes after the last one. This is how every conversation went:. Brunie: What's our theme again? Me: Superlatives. You know, like Sexiest Movie, Scariest Movie . . . Brunie (panicking, she is easily scared): Wait, what are you bringing for your Scariest Movie? Me: And Then There Were None. You can handle it. Brunie ̵...

From Fat to . . . Fabulous? Stay with me as I attempt to lose half of myself. Wednesday, November 9, 2016. Trying to Make Sense of the Senseless. For me, Tuesday evening could not have been off to a better start. My pal Brunie came over to watch election returns with me. We had electoral maps and crayons, cold white wine, and yummy Chinese food. We also dropped by my neighbor's house to sample Nasty Woman cocktails — for science! All the ingredients for a perfect night! And yet, and yet. As incompreh...

My brothers and I were devoted to game shows in our childhood. Our all-time favorite was Match Game. Which we attempted to recreate with the neighborhood urchins whenever possible. I used to have cassette tapes of some of our do-it-yourself Match Game. And $100,000 Pyramid. Which leads to today's challenge. Husband and I were drivin...

I'm editing (which is actually four. Which is just how I love them this month. My fondest dearest hope is that I get so far ahead this week that I can take the weekend "off" and do all my other life crap. And maybe go to the movies, I haven't seen a movie in a theater in years. Get ready for Christmas! At the end o...

But that feels like rushing things. I'm just going to say 54th, okay? Let's all take a breath.). I always make New Years resolutions, and they have changed little over the years: (1) Lose weight. (2) Manage my money better. (3) Write more. These have been the Big Three as long as I can remember. I created a lo...

From Fat to . . . Fabulous? Stay with me as I attempt to lose half of myself. Sunday, December 27, 2015. Lots going on, too much to write about, and blogging is very low on my to-do list right now, so I'm giving myself a break. I'm sure I'll be back to it in the new year. According to the Internet (which knows everything), today is National Whiners Day. I think I'm celebrating appropriately with my choice of drink. Wishing you all a joyful New Year's Eve and a very happy new year! Lots of love from Lady C.

From Fat to . . . Fabulous? Stay with me as I attempt to lose half of myself. Wednesday, November 16, 2016. Still Looking for My Extra Hour. I seem to be so busy. All the time lately. I was hired for a huge editing job, two giant books. This year's play is no exception. I rewrote it heavily, so it's a little better than it was, but as I said to Husband, "If you're a flower planted in dung, no matter how beautiful your blooms are, you're still a dung flower." Feel free to quote me.). No I sit at my comput...

From Fat to . . . Fabulous? Stay with me as I attempt to lose half of myself. Thursday, December 22, 2016. OK, I don't really mean that. I'm actually feeling pretty cheerful and upbeat, because I've been ON VACATION for 24 hours! Which doesn't mean that life gets any slower for me, per se, but I am not shackled to my computer by clients. And that is HUGE. But to my astonishment, she pulled a rabbit out of a hat and is going to be okay academically. And then . . . he didn't pass the written te...He is ver...

From Fat to . . . Fabulous?: Lady C's Best New Books of 2016

From Fat to . . . Fabulous? Stay with me as I attempt to lose half of myself. Saturday, January 7, 2017. Lady C's Best New Books of 2016. As I may have mentioned, "great literary merit" is not a category that resonates with me. I read for love, period. I give every new book I read a rating, from one to four stars. Last year I read 85 new books; here is what I loved (3.5 or 4 stars) — or what at least kept me deeply engrossed:. The Girl on the Train. Now You See Me. By S J. Bolton (YA, maybe? The Girl wit...
