"this isn't Heidi this is the Christensens." says Heidi
"whatever Heidi..you so can't disguise your voice from me!" says lame-o me.
"this is the Christensens" Heidi replies.
"Heidi your are so full of TRASH...I know this is you." announces
lame-ish-o-lous self
"this isn't Heidi...it's the Christensens." repeats Heidi
"Heidi you're such a dork....."
..................Silence......... "okay Christensens...have Heidi call Kandis.........." SILENCE
"Hello Heidi?"
"Heidi...you there?"
"Heidi?"
Heidi hung up on me.....wait...I look at the phone...guess what? I didn't call Heidi...apparently I called the Christensens! Who are the Christensens? I have no clue...but I told them they are full of Trash!

Oh Christmas Tree

Yes Friends I agree it is way to early for Christmas music. However my little cutie pants Elle doesn't think so!

I would like to leave you with the lyrics of her version of "Oh Christmas Tree" that I heard her singing last night. (please note...she has no idea what she is singing just singing what she thinks she hears...)

"Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas, how lovely are our crotches"
Bwahhhhhhhaaaa
Don't tell me you didn't laugh...cause I don't care who you are..that is funny!

How to Love Your Body {by Kandis}
1. Stop the fat talk-those conversations that begin with "I was so bad last night...." and end with whose butt is bigger? "They're like secondhand smoke-you need to not be around them.  Talk about shoes, politics...anything but homany Doritios you ate.
2. Try going reflection free...resist the urge to check out your reflection in every shiny surface.
3. Be more tolerant.  We pride ourselves on tolerance in terms of race and religion, but heaven forbid someone should have a different body weight.  Research finds that 31% of women at healthy weight thought they were overweight compared with just 5% of men who thought of themselves as hefty.  We need to stop discriminating even against ourselves, and start supporting each other.
4. Wear "confidence" clothes.  Clothes that boost your confidence and that you are comfortable in.
5.Talk to yourself lik you're a friend.  Imagine if a friend said that you were disgusting and lacked self-discipline and that the wide state of Montana had nothing on your butt.  You'd want to slap her right?  Yet it is fine to say that about yourself?! NO WAY
6. Stop Weighing in.  Scales just ge you obessed.  "Oh I'm 5'7 and should weight this...as if there's a magical number that is going to make you feel good....Not having a scale is a free feeling.
7.Preach body love.  It will strengthen your own attitude.  Women with a negative self image who helped younger girls develop positive body image saw their own confidence imporve.
9.Get out your favorite photos that show that you are a fun outoging person.  Happy Photos!
10.Embrace yoru heritage.  You can feel good and look attractive without denying who you are.
