Reality

A conversation between Zac and I went something like this while standing in Borders in front of the Women's Health magazine section:

Zac says, "Wow, I feel really bad for you Becky. Every magazine talks about how to flatten your abs or lose twenty pounds before summer with some kind of magic food."

"I know, isn't it so sad that is all there is for me to read in regards to health?"

"You should write your own magazine about interesting stuff for women to read about."

"You're right, I should. I will call it Reality."

So that was our experience tonight at the bookstore. I always forget how we are bombarded with so many messages about our bodies and how to perfect them. What do you think about a magazine that included women's imperfections and thoughts about topics other than being thin and fit? It could have women write in questions about how to overcome certain insecurities or embracing the bodies they have. Some titles I thought of were Reality, Imperfections, Moderation, Mediocrity, Embrace, any other ideas out there?

I know this whole magazine idea is a little far fetched, but I love to study about the human body and how it works, and all I can find out there to read about makes me feel bad about my body. I know it helps me to be aware of the messages the media is trying to portray. It is nights like tonight that help me to remeber to filter out the crap.

Does anyone out there have any magazines they enjoy and would recommend?

Who knows, maybe one day I will act on this random idea, we'll see how I feel in the morning.

one of those days...

Do you ever just have those days where nothing goes right from the moment you wake up in the morning until your head hits the pillow that night? I think it comes with being human.
Try sticking qtips in your ears and make a funny face, it cheered me up.

Happy Graduation!!

So I finally downloaded the pictures from gradaution. The one with the guy is his brother. They graduated together so it was a special celebration for the Freestone family. I know it was over a week ago, but late is better than never, right?

If you are wondering why zac is pulling away from me it is because he doesn't love me. j/k! He is a little afraid of showing affection in public. I have had a "few" talks with him about this issue and he is actually making a lot of progress in regards to touching me and remembering I am in fact his wife when we go out. Last Thursday we went to a Diamondbacks baseball game. The camera man was looking for couples kissing to show on the big screen. We were having at it, (kissing, that is) and right before he got to us the game came back on and the Z-man lucked out big time. The point is that he was willing to kiss me in front of all those people. I felt so loved. I guess his graduation made him a more mature man.
