Hello old friends...

Once upon a time there was a fat girl who had an extremely popular blog called The Fat Chick Diaries.  And by "very popular" I mean she had at least 10 regular readers.  This blog carried on for close to 4 years. The fat girl, using her superpowers of excellent spelling sprinkled with a healthy dose of terrible grammar, blogged about anything that caught her attention.  Although mostly she blogged about her pets, her husband, her fatness, and her desire to live frugally and simply.

Then one day, the fat girl tried to log into her blog and discovered a big, bad virus had invaded it.  Weeks turned into months as the fat girl tried desperately to solve her blogging woes.  Finally, the website providers restored her site, promising it would destroy the virus and bring back nearly all of her content.  And it did!  For exactly 2 whole days.  Then the fat girl woke up on the 3rd day and discovered that her entire blog had just disappeared.  Poof!  Into the wind...

At that point, frustrated and tired and heartsick at the loss of all her wonderful (if not grammatically incorrect) memories, the fat girl threw an entirely unladylike fit and closed down the entire FatChickDiaries website.  Incidentally, this site has now apparently become some kind of ill-advised sex site, I would suggest you not be tempted to check it out.  No. Seriously.  Don't.

But the good news is (to her 10 faithful readers that is), the fat girl is back and better than ever.  Honestly - I've even been working on my grammar skills. 

Hi gentle readers!!  The blog name has changed but the content's still the same (now with 28% improved grammar!) Although still fat, I have decided to concentrate less on my fatness (but the subject is going to come up, I can guarantee it) and focus more on my desire to live a simple, frugal life.  Oh, and pet posts of course.  Because what's a blog without stories of annoying dogs and asshole cats?  Nothing, that's what!!

It's good to be back.
