CocoChanel.

My husband. He is the be all and end all.

Love this one: "I can't stand people who are narrow-minded to the point of excluding the ideas of others. You don't have to agree with me, but it would be courteous if you at least listened."
We have the same greatest fear.
And Kris, I haven't been a Size 2 since before children. I would post a photo of my spare tire, but that would be gross.
BTW, I don't think I was ever size two since the age of two. Wait, I did manage to get to a size three when I was in high school. I looked horrible too! Gross hair and pale white skin with dark circles under my sixteen year old eyes.
Funny thing to, I only know you from the Internet, but I could tell that you are a small loud person.
