Couch 175: You've Got Mail....

thanks i will take you up on that!

That accent overrides everything. Also .

We're here if you want to talk about it.

thank you ♥
the husband is just being a petulant child today grrrrrr

I found the IT Crowd a lot funnier than Moone Boy. I was disappointed in Moon Boy.

Exhankster is like the westward wind - born to wander.

"I was always an unusual girl
My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing me due north
No fixed personality (BPD!)
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean
And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying

Because I was born to be the other woman
Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything"

My reference was a Patsy Cline song

Oooo I just googled. I've heard her voice before but didn't know her name.

I've never heard of that show. Have you seen Black Books? I thought it was funny.

I'm so grouchy still!! Went to heat up my lunch in the break room and customer service is having this huge breakfast cooking pancakes and eggs today and they unplugged all the microwaves! The manager that was in there cooking told me to use the ones downstairs. I didn't want to waste part of my lunch break going down there, damn it. I know it's not a big deal but damn. My team wasn't invited to the stupid breakfast in the first place, and it's ok to inconvenience me besides?! Whatever. I'm telling my boss he really needs to push through my work at home somehow.

I need to get out of this stupid mood I'm in, or I'm going to end up fighting with t later today. Maybe I should take a 60 minute vow of silence one minute before my session starts... and just go in there and show her a sign advising of this then do 2 sand trays one in the wet sand, one in the dry, listen to her thoughts on them then wave buh-bye and leave. (I'm paid up through the end of the month.)

Crabby Art is no fun at all.

I would just replug the microwave and perhaps sigh and give death stares to anyone who dared to challenge me. xD

I would say be honest with L and don't hold anything back. It's okay to express negative emotions too not just the positive ones.

But not the chocolate on the forehead?

Okay, i didnt ever actually watch Girls, so i have no idea what youre talking about.

IT Crowd—goes on a date, gets chocolate on his forehead, the girl thinks it’s another dark substance that one would not want to have on one’s forehead.

Winnie the Poooooooooooh.

CE! Great minds think alike

They were hogging all the plugs for their griddles grrr!

We'll see what happens w L in about 4 hours...

Thanks!!

I love Pooh. When my son was little he loved Tigger, he had a stuffed animal one that had a spring inside his tail and he'd bouncey-bounce it all over the house lol

Eh, maybe I'm feeling so weird and off and meh partly because my son's all grown up and doesn't need me anymore... in conjunction with h calling me stupid the other night... feeling like nobody needs me... all wrapped up in the bow of struggling with the higher power stuff...

Somebody does need me, though. I need me. I need me to pull myself outta this. Pronto.

My mother would read us the Pooh books while voicing each character differently and I fell in love with Owl (she did him in a serious British Oxford accent).

Art—is it possible that you are depressed? I know it is not as bad as it was years ago but it doesn’t have to be that bad to still be depression.

Aww that sounds like a cute memory! Your son is younger than me, but I can still tell guarantee you that he does still need his mother (and he still will even after he gets married.) Annnnnnnnd to be honest we need you on our couch to balance out me and Una.

Your husbands opinion doesn't mean as much as your own and it's understandable that a comment like that would shake you. This is an uncomfortable place to be in right now but you will get out of this when you get out of it.

My mom did too. I still remember sitting curled up on the arm of the old corduroy rocking chair with my head on her shoulder, my sis on the other side.

I read all of the Pooh books, and the poetry, to my kids with voices.
I still read to them, actually. I just started reading aloud Oliver Sacks (Musicophilia, since they're music guys). I should go pack it in the camping box.

Art, I can relate to the feeling of being a little lost as the kids move out into the world. It's such a bittersweet thing, delight to see them grown and flying, and missing them at the same time.

This is war now! I would stage my own party and hog all the plugs just out of spite.

After a pretty emotionally challenging day and conversation on Tuesday, we are heading out on a long-planned family camping trip with friends.

I'm sure it will be fine. Camping is relaxing and fun...once everything is packed, anyway. We're all good at Family Time.

But I could sure use some good thoughts or something sent my way.
