last week i responded in a post about quick dinner meals. i said i regularly make a frittata and talked about always keeping a pie crust in the freezer, etc. i woke up in the middle of the night sunday night and realized i used the wrong word. i meant QUICHE! i always make a quiche. i thought i could just let it go but it has been bothering me since then so i had to clear it up. i know a quiche has pie crust and a frittata doesn't, i just occasionally mix up words lately.

I totally biffed it on the way home from the grocery store today. I am sure it was a funny site to see, with my grannie cart, pregnant belly and totally lack of balance these days.
It's my dad's birthday today. Birthdays/anniversaries don't affect me too much where grief is concerned (just feels the same as any other day), but I am sure my mom wants to talk about it. She sent me an email to let me know a family friend had called and said she was thinking about us. I don't really want to talk about it with my mom, now or ever. My sister responded "I am thinking about it too. Love you." I just said "that was nice of her." I don't know why I am so emotionally closed off.
i think this is kind of normal, so don't feel bad. i am an avoider by nature and once i was about 4-5 months out from my dad's death and more removed i was finally able to avoid thinking about it. i would rather just not think about it as much as possible now. i think it's just a survival mechanism. but i know my mom can't avoid it; she doesn't have the distractions i do. she's in the same house, same bed, there are reminders of his absence at all times. it is hard to balance my own sanity (powering through days not thinking about it) with her constant need to cry/talk about it.
Yep, I agree. I think it's fairly normal.
My parents' anniversary is this Saturday and my mom's already mentioned it to me. I get sad, but I know it affects her even more since, like dcannie said, she has the reminders of him all around her all day, every day. But I talk to her about it because I know it helps her and B likes to talk about Pepa so I really can't avoid it all the time.

Can I see your cute pregnant butt like anytime soon please?

My birthday is today. DH bought us tickets to the Orioles game tonight with my in laws and another couple we are friends with. It's supposed to be 61 degrees at game time *-) I don't have any O's gear that is long sleeved, so I guess I'm dressing for warmth and not team spirit! Oh and bonus....our tickets include all you can eat hotdogs, popcorn, peanuts, nachos, icecream and soda!

I have really not been feeling like myself lately. I've been emotional/rage-filled/closed off/panicky and I finally realized it might be the new generic birth control I'm on. It's been 4 months and I think that is just about how long I've been feeling this way. Thank god I made that connection before going directly to my psychiatrist. New BC will hopefully set me straight. This is no way to survive.
I would be your roommate if you lived here. Come to exotic Cleveland, Ohio!
I have found some potential places there are just alot of crazies in my price range.
I thought all of us singles were going in together and getting a superfab house with pool boys and everything.
Can I get in on this please?!?!!?? I'm having an incredibly difficult time finding and affordable place that will accept my dog and three cats. I'm a little messy, but I can fix that. And I love to cook!!!

I saw these boys harassing a girl, I think they were five of them. I wasn't sure at first, but then one was dragging her by her arms. I went over and shouted at them. Their mothers were totally oblivious. I don't think they even noticed that I shouted at them. It's not a big playground at all. The boys were surprised and quickly dispersed. Before I went over though I saw them crowd around her and taunt her and one pushed her to the ground and got on her. Like I said, I wasn't sure what I was seeing. I thought maybe at first that it was a part of a game. These were five or six year olds.

Good on you for saying something.
I woke up at 2:00 PM today, FML. My sleep patterns have been fucked since school ended and moving. I'm pretty excited for the next week though, I'm seeing my bff who just got engaged last weekend (she's also my MOH). And thank god I'm going clothes shopping at a huge outlet mall on Thursday, because I haven't gone clothes shopping in like a year.
