Guest Post: Beginnings, Shmeginnings.

*I am participating in a blog exchange set up by the wonderful Kristen over at Motherhood Uncensored. My guest today is a great writer and super funny female. You can check out more of her stuff at Taste the World. That's where I'll be today so don't forget to come check me out!*

Ahhh, new beginnings. It sounds so charming and pure, doesn’t it? It sounds like spring and birth and music in the air. As I get older, and especially since I’ve passed the 30-year-old mark, I find myself with quite a few new beginnings in my life.

• I am beginning to find a stray gray hair now and then.
• I am beginning to use the word droopy while looking in the mirror.
• I am beginning to fill out a clothing size that makes me wimper.
• I am beginning to want more food, whereas I need it less.

Not so lovely now, is it?

My super special beginnings are forcing me to get off my ass and do something about this. Starting Monday, I’m hopping back on the Weight Watchers bandwagon and losing the 5…ok 10…well, ok, FINE!…13 pounds I gained in the last few months. These fuzzy-wuzzy-cuddly beginnings are making me start doing exercises (which I despise) again.

So what do I think about new beginnings? I think they can kiss my newly-inflated butt, thankyouverymuch.

Not that I’m bitter or anything. No, really.
