My concept of feminism in a nutshell.

"Real feminism is defined by women who can, and do, take care of themselves. Real feminists don’t look for a Prince Charming to rescue them, and they don’t look for a handout. That sort of entitlement mentality hurls women back several decades, when it was expected that someone else (a man) would pay their way. Liberal feminism has morphed into a laughable movement filled with harpies who hold up signs saying, “Hoes before embryos” while defining themselves entirely by their “lady parts.” We, on the other hand, define ourselves by our character, our passions, our loves, our strengths, our abilities and our successes." Source: https://www.facebook.com/constitutionalist.conservative?hc_location=stream

I'll add that feminism is about choices, not predestination. It's not your life's work as a woman to take care of anyone unless you choose to do so (unless you've already made the choice to bring a child into the world, and in that case, step up girlfriend). If you do make that choice, you are embarking on something that requires strength, perseverance, and humility. If you do not, you are embarking on something different which will require another set of skills and strengths. Still your life's work; it is not anyone's to judge but your own.

Two months and two days to spare!

Hey y'all!

I totally posted in less than two years! Two months and two days from now is, believe it or not, my first wedding anniversary. That's right. So much has happened since I last posted. Got married, bought a house, finished my Masters degree and I'm not even on a hallucinogen - THIS ALL ACTUALLY HAPPENED!

In the process of getting married, I got a daughter! My stepdaughter Riley. Time+Love = A Blessed Life. She's going into second grade in two weeks.

 Now, if I can secure full time employment, life as I know will be totally settled. Wanna see a picture of my wedding? I knew you did! Here are picture(s).

Aside from it being just a perfect wedding... it was PUBLISHED on a wedding blog! All thanks to my beyond amazing photographers, Wanda Cavazos and Mell Bell from Richard Bell Photography. Check it out! http://alowcountrywed.com/island-house-wedding-megan-cisco/

And here is my graduation picture - a good day as well! 

So, in the last (almost) two years, life has just kept getting better. So very much to be thankful for, and to keep looking forward to! 

I think I'll start posting again. I need an outlet to put all my musings on body image. Perhaps I will start a new blog for that intent. I'll let you know.

Like a loyal dog, so is blogger.com.

My friend S started a blog, and it made me want a blog. Then I said, Hey! I already have a blog. So I dusted it off and as it turns out, it still works. Hopefully I'll update again it before 2 years.

OHAI.

Guess what? I'm getting married. Yep. On 10/11/12, which is a year from today. It will indeed be a grand event. My fiance is named Cisco (he is indeed not a rapper) and we're quite happily in love. We decided to ruin it by getting married. Ha ha, I joke. I do lurve him and I'm very much looking forward to married life. He's my lobster.

I also got a cat at the end of last year that brings me much entertainment. Her name is Mrs. Buttersworth, Butters for short, and she is a calico that wants to rule the world. I'm going to post a picture of her.



She's pretty and cute. She's also a complete pain in the arse. Kind of like my dog. It's like having a set of salt and pepper shakers! I found out this week that Butters loves her some cat nip. The complication here is the my dog also loves the catnip. Is that okay? I give it to her regardless.

This concludes tonight's session of free association! Do have a nice evening.

Heavens to Murgatroid.

Just when I thought the demands couldn't get larger, I had to look at what Yahoo had to say about my horoscope.

"Even if it puts a stress on your free time, you must accept any and all invitations."

What? I don't have enough? Now I need to add sickening co-dependence to my repertoire? I think not. Bite me, Yahoo!

Yay!

In a stunningly good move by the Academy, a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Award was presented to Heath Ledger. Well done, Heath. RIP.

Oh how I yearn.

Spring break = t-minus 2.5 weeks. Yay.

But you know what precedes Spring break? Midterms. DOH.

I just wanna sleep. Please?

Land of the Free, Home of the Dense.

What kind of nonsense leads a person to believe that forcing her body to produce 14 children in two pregnancies is a sound decision? She already had SIX (SIX! that's her replaced SIX FOLD - imagine if everyone on this planet replaced him or herself SIX FOLD) and then she needed 8 MORE? Unlike paper towels at Sam's, children don't get cheaper in bulk!

For the love of all things holy, I can only hope this lady never has the nerve to ask the government for assistance taking care of those children.
