Is any couch better than none? Welcome to Couch 41

I was a huge encyclopedia reader myself. Huge.

I read the encyclopedia also, A to XYZ, but I was really a dictionary girl at heart. Thought I was the weirdest person ever until I met H. He read both as well.

Funny, I thought I was the only one who would read encyclopedias for fun.

We are the smart-crazies!

I would read them too... We had a set im sure the mother never paid for.. Haha

I'm doing well, Chopin. I hope you are.

I was addicted to Child Craft volumes, a kind of encyclopedia for kids. i think it was put out by World Book.

just because

H and I see marriage counselor for the first time tomorrow.. I am so nervous.

Good luck Healed, hope it goes well.

Thanks, Ike.

I know it's 7:30 here, but I am totally ready for bed. Going to take my phone and my book and go to bed.

Oh a friend posted something on facebook I decided to adopt -- I am no longer calling my phone a smart phone until I can say, "Hey, where's my phone?" and it answers me, "here in your hand! You're talking to someone on me, Dumbass."

Watched Argo last night and really thought it was a great movie.

I read dictionaries and encyclopedias too. I have three sets of Encyclopedias that are 15-20 years apart. I love to read and compare entries to see the differences.

Our encyclopedias must be so old now. I used to love getting them out and reading them as a kid.

I was also very fond of looking up the definition of every new word that I came across as well.

Oh great, here we go with the free form anxiety. Man, sometimes I just wish I were not me.

I haven't seen Granite today. Missing you Granite.

Healed.... I would be so nervous too....

My friend said that by the time they got done with forms and talked about the family..his, hers and theirs and how long married the first session was over...

Yeah, I kind of forgot this is our first appointment. However, MC works in the same office as my T. So, I know that my T has given MC a heads up and knows a lot of what is going on. I wonder if we will hop right in.

I am worried, that I will do too much talking. Or that we won't know what to say if he asks why we decided we needed marriage couseling. Just nervous. T says he thinks I am so nervous about it b/c it means we are going to talk about issues that I have been avioding talking about for a while. Intimacy issues, communication issues I think I am nervous b/c this is going to make or break us.

Healed...remember this isn't your first go around with therapy... is it your H's? I bet he is nervous too....

remember sometimes it feels like things get worse before they get better (like in individual T)...don't decide the make it or break it thing too soon...

Relax and let the process work.

I dreamt about everyone from the couch last night... we were sitting around a big island in a kitchen cutting up vegetables....lots and lots of vegetables...

that is all I could remember from the dream... but I laughed out loud when I woke up... thinking how appropriate that there were vegetables.

Lola...how was your dinner last night? and your softball game today?

RTS...there was no hidden meaning in that dream at all.

This is the first time that H has been in therapy.. I am sure he is nervous as well..
