Couch 121: An Intimate Chat.

Hi everyone. I'm back for a minute. After 8 years with my therapist- we ended. She took me as far as she could. I don't want to talk about it. I just wanted to write it somewhere. I'm sorry I came in and jumped on the couch just to say this. It didn't just happen. It's been 3 weeks. I took the advice that was given here when I wrote about last time. So I went in to talk with my T and it turned out she was actually thinking it was time as well. I am thinking about it a lot today so I kind of just wanted to tell someone because I haven't spoke about it to anyone online or anyone who knows me off the forum in my life. Anyway, this is the first day it really started to sink in that I no longer have that "safety net" under me and now it's time for me to navigate this thing called life without being under someone's wing. I am sure it will be hard but I am a 36 year old woman and it's time to pull up the big girl panties and move on. Be back soon. Again, sorry I just barged in to say it but I had to tell someone-anyone willing to listen. I have to go to work for a bit-see you soon couch. Thanks.

Pumpkin pop tarts just don't stack up

I just found out everyone in my family knew about my uncles funeral and I wasn't invited.. .. it really makes me feel all that more rejected by my family.

I bought the pumpkin pop tarts thinking this will be just like those nasty orange crush and aw root beer limited edition pop tarts. They are just going to taste sweet and nothing more. I am a glutton for disappointment apparently

Pop tarts are addictive...and toaster strudel, too.

See i dont even eat chocolate chip cookies anymore - to me they are just a chocolate delivery system. I skip the middleman and go straight for the cocoa. What are you looking for in pop tarts? Have you tried babka? Chocolate or cinnamon babka. Yummmmmm. Flaky. Why i had to join weight watchers! They MUST have yiddish bakeries in texas - right? If sd makes babka, i will eat my hat!

what is babka? and why wouldn't sd make it?

It's a Polish pastry. I had a great-aunt who gave us scads of babka (Jewish babka, technically, it wasn't in cake shape and it was twisted) every Christmas. My mother was the only one who liked it.

SD wouldn't make it because it doesn't involve smoking products like cheese or meat?

I am not that much of a baker of desserts. I make bread (and crumpets and english muffins and bagels (a giant pain in the *** with the boiling and broiling and baking) and scones) but that is about it for baking. Every so often I make a pound cake or date cake (the pudding part of sticky toffee pudding).

Trader Joe has a chocolate babka that people either love or hate. I have not tried it as I am not a huge chocolate consumer.
