The Clinical Definition Of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
After experiencing a huge rush of excitement upon entrance into the storage department of Home Depot, I realized that I must be listed as "Patient A" in some psychiatric journal somewhere in the "Obsessive Compulsive" chapter. You think I'm kidding, how cute.
I recently moved and, in a moment of brilliance, I cleared out a chunk of my reserve o' ( Read more... ) -
Psychological Insight
Exactly how creepy is it that a mature, professional woman is lusting after the incredibly edible, uber luscious Justin Timberlake on a minute-by-minute basis while watching the rerun of SNL from his December appearance? Oh yes, and his singing is impressive as well...
In my defense, I am only one year and one month older than he is.
Oh, did I say me ( Read more... ) -
Our fearless leaders invoke more fear
I think pretty much everyone who reads this knows where I stand politically speaking. I'm not going to get up on my soapbox in the partisan sense. I'm not going to openly bash either Democrats or Republicans. Okay, well, at least, not yet ( Read more... ) -
At what age did the transition take place?
I've long believed that adult children, when able to do so, ought to take care of their aging parents. I watched my mother take care of my great-grandmother, grandfather and grandmother. I assured her that she would never have to "fend for herself". I'd do anything in my power to make sure she was comfortable and as worry-free as possible. And I am ( Read more... ) -
You knew this was coming
Practically every other blog, hell, every other website in general has some sort of Valentine's Day reference on it. Some have cute hints and tips, some have blatant love-day loathing, and still others have mindless jabber about "the huge diamond Bob got me this year!"
My opinion, this particular blogosphere discourse, is pretty vanilla. I don't ( Read more... ) -
That lasted for about twenty minutes
You know that idea I mentioned about taking it easy today? Yeah, that was cute. Barely twenty minutes after posting my pontification on the merits of relaxation I found myself tapping my toes underneath the beige fleece blanket covering my legs. Tapping my toes during "Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason". The height of blasphemy ( Read more... ) -
Frightful - adjective: unpleasant; disagreeable
Snow and I, we used to have a lovely relationship, one quite similar to the one it has with Lorelai Gilmore (if you have no clue what I am talking about, you must run, not walk, to the nearest Bloackbuster, rent every season of Gilmore Girls and enlighten yourself. Go. Now.). However, I am not too pleased with it at present.
I'm a pretty genial ( Read more... ) -
It's official, I'm pregnant.
There isn't a number large enough to encompass the number of people I have shocked today with that statement :-) It's fun being a smartass.
No, not really pregnant, but if it were possible for me to be, I'd swear I am.
Let me preface this by saying, I do not like barbecue potato chips. In fact, I hate them. Loathe. Detest. Despise. In addition, I ( Read more... ) -
Bragging and all that entails
This particular post is aimed at a dear friend who, although I completely adore him, will never post a comment. However, I guarantee this will get me an immediate high-pitched ring, alerting me of a text message ( Read more... ) -
Murphy? Is that you?
Today has been a day filled with proof Murphy's Law exists. Seriously, if I had done a better job of keeping a chronological account of the events of my day, it would be Johns Hopkins University caliber data.
The details? They are boring, but suffice it to say, I will never again underestimate the healing power of a hot cup of tea, my beloved ( Read more... )
