There are two “big” shows on television right now that focus on plus size women. I’m not talking about those medical shows (shout out to My 600 lb Life that I can binge watch for whole weekends!) These are shows that merely give you life of a bigger girl. I’m fascinated, but also kind of offended that I haven’t been asked to be on one. I mean, look at this picture above. I was made for this!

Not everyone is fancy. I know I’m not! Brett and I had reservations at a “fancy” restaurant here in Indianapolis, but ultimately decided to back out of it. Don’t get me wrong- I love a good fancy night every now and then! I like any reason to get prettied up and have delicious food! I’m sure we will have many a Valentine’s Day where we step out into the town with a few hundred bucks we are willing to burn and will have an AMAZING, romantic night. The thing is, my husband and I are more chill than that on a day to day basis. We are busy! I know…
