Something to think about.... The last verse of Billy Joel's song "Just the Way You Are" says:
I said I love you, and that's forever
Saturday night I happened across the movie
Bridget Jones's Diary, and of course had to watch it for the
umpteenth time. I love this movie on so many levels that I can't count
them. But I think my favorite scene is when Mark Darcy (Colin
Firth) was standing on the stairway of his parents' home going through
the list of Bridget Jones's (Renee Zellweger) list of
shortcomings based on his high-society lifestyle. But at the end he said,
"I like you just as you are." |

Hi everyone!
Okay, I'm really, really ready
for this hot weather to go on somewhere! I don't like it.
But other than the heat, July has been a good month. Well, until I caught some weird kind of head "thing" a couple of weeks ago. It's not the flu, but has "flu-like" symptoms. There's a bone-deep weakness that is a main player in this "malady," as my husband, Joe, called it. Then head congestion, sleepiness, and stomach unrest. Joe took it about a week after I caught it, and the head/chest congestion hit him a lot harder. But we both seem to be pulling out of it, and I do believe we'll live! Son Eric and his family went on vacation, so I got to keep Lacy, their 70+ pound dog that I just love. She's such a sweetheart! I kept her last year and I think she remembered being at our house, because she settled down much quicker this time than she did last year. She knows I love her! My July 10 book event at the Williamson County Library went well. We had a decent turnout, and the librarian thought it was a good turnout for a Saturday. I met some interesting people. Williamson County Public TV had a couple of interns there taping it for WC-TV Programming on Comcast 3, Charter 96, AT&T 99, and Tollgate Village and Bridgemore Village 1. I was on the Friday, July 30 WCTV schedule as: "7:00 p.m. Author Afternoon with Pat Ballard at the Williamson County Library End time 7:50." I haven't seen it, but I'm hoping I can get a copy of the taping. Everyone have a wonderful August.  Something

Weighty Matters Berman seems to have a real grasp of what's going on with the entertainment world and the plus-size woman. He talks about all the cast of the show and what he hopes to accomplish. I found it to be an intriguing interview. Below is a question and answer from the interview. ...
So tell me, most shows would never dream of making a plus-size woman the
star. How did you come up with this idea?
