Hey y'all! Sorry for my absence, I've been very busy. Too busy. I keep having to remind myself to be honest on this blog. Not to leave things out. To tell the whole truth. And the whole truth is that this past week or so has totally and completely sucked. It started with my birthday. Never a fun event for me. As a child I was always put under INTENSE scrutiny about how much cake I had or how much frosting was on my piece. The anxiety of knowing that was coming kind of ruined the whole experience. And, spoiled as this sounds, knowing that the prettily wrapped gifts were more for the people giving them than for me (ie the infomercial exercise machine I got for my 15th birthday...umm...thanks...). So I've always been a bit antsy and anxious on my birthday. This year was no different. Then the next day I ran out of my meds (for anxiety) so I had a day full of panic attacks and bouts of depression and anger until I could get to the pharmacy. Not fun. For anyone.
I've been keeping up with my runs, well ellipticals is more like it. It's very icy out here and I am terrified of slipping and hurting myself. Hubbys parents have been very thoughtfull and kind and are getting me a new pair of running shoes! I am very very excited to get them. I also recieved a very generous (too generous) gift from my Grandmother JoAnn, which we will be using tomorrow to visit my 'new' sister Josie. ('New' meaning that I didn't know she existed until about a year ago, and I am overjoyed to have her and my 'old' little sister Adrianna in my life!)
On a different note, I found a book called 'The splendid table' in the inlaws cookbook cupboard. It's a James Beard award winner (BIG DEAL in the food world) I've started reading it and its really interesting, it's like a blend between history and food (two of my three favorite things, the third being running) I wonder if there are more history/food books...I'd like to read them. Maybe one day when I'm a grown up (haha) I'll have a food book library with a fainting couch... :)
Until tomorrow lovelies...
Oh no, I'm never too generous. Just like I'm never not generous enough. I'm always just the right amount of generous.
ReplyDeleteThe other day at work I had my "evaluation". My boss asked me what my "goals" are.
Keep in mind that I'm 65 years old now. Goals huh.
So I thought before I answered, and I said the truth, "my goal is to teach the young-uns everything I've learned before I check out".
So here ya go, words of wisdom from someone who thinks she's learned enough to dispense it.
It's a collosal waste of time disagreeing with what's happenening. It's never worth a second of your time deciding about whether something should or shouldn't be happening. If it is then it should.
I'm always just the right amount of everything I am. And so are you. And so is everybody else. Every single time.
Think about it.
