YES! I want to wear my hair in a messy side bun, but when I try it (which is about once every 2 weeks) I take it down b/c it just looks like i’ve been doing housework all day or something. And my victoria’s secret shopping cart was emptied within like 3 hours last week! How am i supposed to keep up my resolve to eat right and be healthy if I can’t compare myself to swimsuit models???!!
Messy side buns work better when my hair is curly. The first time I wore it that way I felt like an idiot on the inside, but rocked it with confidence on the outside. Try that. ๐
I'm just Mandi, not Amanda. It's spelled with an "i" because my mom doesn't like to write the letter "y" - and no, I'm not kidding. I grew up in a funeral home. Like, we lived there. All the time. No, I wasn't scared of dead people (as my dad says, "it's the live ones that will get ya") and yes, it was exactly like that girl on My Girl (sans an adorable Macaulay Culkin best friend and weird hypochondriac behavior). I have one husband (he's my favorite person) and two beautiful step-daughters. I lead a sugar free life, because sugar makes my thighs the size of Hulk Hogan's. I am frequently late and I typically wear a lot of eyeliner. I love every kind of animal. I was raised in a small town, and when I say small, I mean it - unlike my other friends who call their town "small" and it has a Walmart in it. I love Diet Coke and peanut butter. I do not eat anything with an orange flavor or raw mushrooms because both of those things are, well, disgusting. I don't like getting my hair cut, and I attribute this to my mom cutting it all off when I was four. (I looked like a boy.) Charleston is my favorite city on Earth, but New York comes in second. I like politics and writing and fashion and reality television (I think this makes me well-rounded, thankyouverymuch).
"The Tightrope" began in 2008 (over on Blogger), and the name sprung from some good ole country music lyrics that fit my life.

YES=Michelle Obama’s frump walk!!! I was wondering if anyone else noticed that!
Bess, thank goodness! It drives me crazy. She’s a lovely dresser, but she needs a walking coach. I’m certain those exist…
Oh I miss you. You crack me up. I hope I get to see you very soon.
Michelle “lumbers” along like someone much heavier than she is…maybe a pageant coach could help? ๐
