dunlap disease

Some days, I'm at a loss for what to blog about.

I want to blog about the Cesar's Way book that I'm reading about the Dog Whisperer...but I'm only halfway through, and I'd really rather wait until I'm done. I'm learning some interesting concepts, and will certainly share when I'm done with the book.

I could always blog about house hunting or fixing up our house to sell, but those topics are going to get old pretty fast for you readers. So I'll spare you, unless there are big developments!

I do still need to post all of the new Ellery scrapbook pages I've done, but that would involve taking pictures of the pages, uploading them, color correcting/resizing them, yada yada...and I don't believe I have the energy for that.

So today, I believe I will discuss a very troubling disease...

I didn't learn about this disease until I moved to Texas. I'm not sure if only Texans know about this disease, or maybe you've heard of it too?

It's called Dunlap Disease...it's a very serious disease.

Definition: when someone's belly has "dun-lapped" over his belt. (Jackie, I'm thinking you may be the only one who's heard of this, since you're from the South too!)

It's a little upsetting when you realize that perhaps YOU, in fact, have Dunlap Disease...that your once-flat stomach is now spilling out over that waistband...

Oh, it's just water weight...oh, I'm just bloated today...oh, I just need to lose a few pounds, but that won't be too hard...I can hide this little problem with my clothes until it goes away...

That's all great and dandy...until someone ELSE jokingly asks you if you have Dunlap Disease. Whoa, boy...that's a slap in the face big time! That will open your eyes if nothing else will. That will get your ass out there on a high school track somewhere, huffin and puffin.

It's a little disconcerting though, when your efforts aren't really showing any results. When the Dunlap Disease has such a hold on you, it refuses to budge. It's a stubborn disease. STUBBORN.

And embarrassing...back to the track I go...

oh no that person didn't!!!!! Someone asked YOU if you had dunlap disease? You've got to be joking me??? I say punch them right in DAFACE!

You should be very proud of yourself with the running you have been doing. Your doing great with it! Don't let someone (jokingly or not) make you feel bad about yourself!

Kelley, I can NOT believe ANYONE would as you if you had Dunlap Disease. And yes, I am familiar with the disease. A little too familiar, as I have suffered from it for years. Pregnancy does give a nice reprieve, however. (Because there's no waist band to lap over!)

And I'm with Kim, slap the crap out of whoEVER said that to you! Was it anyone I've met? IF so, tell them the slap is from me ; )

I can't believe someone would ask you that. It has a much tighter grip on me, has for years, and no one has EVER had the balls to say something like that to me. I think we should all go kick their butt. And they say we have manners here in the South....
