Poll Results and Other News

I have a few things to say. One: I'm working on a post about American Idol. It's going to be good and long. Expect it soon. Two: Poll results:
The majority of you either like your job or like it depending on the day. Three of you said “Meh. It could be worse.” Two people hate their job with the passion of a burning sun. Two people like their job only because it pays them. Two people like their job and look forward to each day. One of you likes your job as much as any job could be liked. One of you sometimes likes your job. And not one person said flat-out that they didn’t like their job.
Okay, on to my third thing. Three: My best friend had her baby! Since she has her own blog, I’ll let her post about it. I was very happy to hear the news. I am going through the strangest feelings. I’m so happy and touched, I almost want to cry. I can’t believe her baby is finally here! I’m so happy for her. Though I’ve had siblings have babies and I have a few friends who have babies, it seems different this time. Probably because my best friend and I have been friends since we were like 12. We’ve gone through so much together. It’s so strange (and wonderful) she has a baby now. Anyway, Congrats!

Your best friend's baby is almost better than your own. You can play with it, snuggle it, and then when it starts to cry give it back, go home, and get a good nights sleep!

Tracie, just wanted to say congrats on being the first in line for backup. There is nothing better than a good friend who is always there, even when you are covered in spit-up, haven't showered, and it looks like you put your eye shadow under your eyes due to no sleep. :O) J/k it is not always like that. It is really great to have a good friend though to enjoy such a wonder with.

I enjoyed watching the first part of American Idol, with all the auditions, but after that I can't seem to stay involved...although I think I'm in the minority when it comes to being obsessed with that show! Glad you enjoy it though. We all need shows to look forward to and enjoy. :o) Lost and House, Hell's Kitchen and The Bachelor do it for me right now. lol

Apple Taste Test 2013

Image
Several years ago Austin and I bought several kinds of gummy bears in an attempt to discover which gummy bears were the best. We rated them in different categories, and it was a lot of fun. I’ve been wanting to do something like that again. And then this weekend, the perfect opportunity presented itself. We were at Sprouts shopping, and they had a wide assortment of apples on sale for $0.88/lb. This was too good to pass up. So I went crazy and bought 14 varieties of apples. Most we only bought 1 or 2 apples, but some we bought more. (We bought 10 Ambrosia apples because they’re awesome and they’re not widely available.) I wanted this to be the ultimate apple taste test. So, today we cut up and prepared the apples. We put them on paper plates and divided them up and labeled them. In retrospect, I wish we had taken pictures of the whole process. (Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.) We then decided on categories; we rated the apples on Overall Taste, Juiciness, Sweetness, Tartness, and Har...

Anxiety

I meant to post an update after Sunday's very depressing post. I'm actually doing okay. I wasn't at that moment, obvs. I was in the midst of an anxiety attack that day. Anxiety attacks suck. I have a lot on my plate right now, which leads to stress. Stress plus my genetically-prone-to anxiety-self = breakdown and anxiety attacks. I don't want people to think that I'm feeling like that all the time. I'm not. In general, I'm doing very well. I am happy and content a lot of the time. I have an awesome husband and wonderfully supportive friends. I just happen to be dealing with a lot of stress right now. Stress that will hopefully decrease come April when Austin finally, finally graduates. I just snapped on Sunday because I became overwhelmed with everything. My house was extremely messy, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I screamed at Austin. I threw things. I hide in my room like an ashamed child. I cried, I vented by writing the depressive post, and ...

I am tired. So very tired. I cannot handle the tedium of life. The inescapableness of it all. Every day. The same thing, the same drudgery, the same trying to keep to get it together. It's just too much. Too MUCH. Cannot handle it. The weight, the pressure. I have snapped. Lost it. Yelling for a cathartic release. Fear. Pressure. Too much. Too much. TOO MUCH! Cannot take it anymore. I cry because I can't do it anymore. Cannot do it. Make it stop! Give my life order. Give my life sustainability. I fail at life. I am a failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. Empty tears. Empty life. Blinking cursor. Broken. I am broken. Empty and broken. Responsible for everything and nothing. The end no periods nothing. gone. broken. help?
