my personal therapy....

so i had a mental and emotional breakdown yesterday. i didn't leave my apartment for the ENTIRE day. not even for church. so sorry mom and dad. it was partially a self-imposed breakdown and also a had-no-choice-but-just-happened breakdown. but it was much needed and i feel much better today.

last week was pretty much the week from h-e-double toothpicks with some major highlights that were great - if that's even possible, but yes that's how my week was. the list of highlights included:
  • meeting hillary clinton
  • driving a brand new black cadillac and realizing it doesn't have as much pickup as alma the audi
  • going to an amazing french techno concert with fab friends
  • janelle crashing on my couch last night
  • having dinner with laurann and hearing about her fab trip to brazil
  • meeting a new cute boy and him taking me to lunch
  • catching up with friends at em's halloween party
but with all of these fab things, the week still sucked. mainly because i have too many projects going on including an article for a magazine that i turned in and the editor hated it so i have to rewrite it and make it twice as long in two days. and my day job has been really sucky lately due to people's egos, personalities and just plain politics. Also, i had a blind date from hell at the beginning of the week (new rule: no dating CEOs) and i'm still in withdrawals from dal leaving me until january.

so sunday, all of these things came to head and i slept in until 11 am and then fell back to sleep on my couch at 2 pm and missed church. so then i woke up feeling bad about missing church and i decided i just needed a good cry. so i put in the movie Family Stone, which i haven't seen in a few years and i bawled my eyes out. through the entire movie. especially the scene at the dinner table. and then i made a double batch of semi-sweet and white chocolate chip cookies.

seriously, the best therapy. i highly recommend it.

I feel chocolate chips cookies can solve any problem. Hope your feeling better.

we love aunty melissa's cookies. well i hope you are feeling better. when we were in cali, bray said your name in a blessing over the food and i'm sure they were thinking you were pretty special to be in that prayer. hope this week turns out better!

i remember you once healed my mental anguish by sticking Charly in my DVD player. it totally did the trick. sorry you had a sucky week! hope that people at work chillax and don't ever feel terrible about taking a "personal day" from church. we all need them every once in a while.

ah....I almost watched Charly! But then I saw the Family Stone beckoning to me....next therapy day it will for sure be Charly.

Thanks Bray for still praying for me. Seriously the prayers of a 5 year old work wonders.
