negative self talk and bunko fun.
bunko fun first. tonight was bunko! it was delightful as always. and i won in the roll off for MOST BUNKOS! sorry ladies. i just can't help having good luck. i picked the CUTEST pink feather boa easter wreath. and i LOVE IT!
i was eyeing it all night and was SO HAPPY TO WIN so i could pick it! YAY ME!
Then while i was gone alone this afternoon. i was putting my make-up on while driving (yeah i do that) and i realized the transformation from not cute to decent looking was all in the application of my Make-up. i know this now. i'm SO GOING TO MAKE A SIGN FOR MYSELF! that says:
YOU ARE NO LONGER pretty enough to get by without wearing make-up! and put it around so i remember to make the effort and take 5 minutes to put my make-up on.
THEN i realized that most of my weight gain (and believe me there has been recent weight gain) is due to my lack of taking my thyroid pills effectively and regularly. and SERIOUSLY? I'm too darn FAT these days to not take my stinking pills. (if i don't take them regularly there HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS! but the one that bugs me most is the weight gain) if i don't take my Thyroid hormone replacements i can gain 20 lbs in as little as 2 weeks and it doesn't just go away when i start taking my pills again. It SUCKS!
so i'm making myself a sign that reads: YOU ARE TOO FAT TO NOT TAKE YOUR PILLS!
and how about another sign that says: YOU ARE A MEAN BIOTCH IF YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR PROZAC! TAKE IT NOW AND SPARE YOUR FAMILY!
i think that these would be effective reminders.
the bunko girls thought that it was too much negative self talk. but what can i say, sometimes the truth is all you need to get off your butt and do what you are supposed to.
RIGHT? RIGHT!
and there we are. i'm PMSing pretty hard. and i hafta add blogging no longer has the fabulous therapeutic effects it used to for me.
now i find more and more i'm turning back to my old coping habit called RETAIL THERAPY! it's not good. maybe i should try to craft more to counteract the need for retail therapy. being creative does brighten my mood considerably.
QUESTIONS:
SO what makes you happy when you are blue/Cranky/PMS-ING?
do you have a coping habit of choice?
do you have negative self talk?
Thoughts? feelings?
alrighty have a rad Wednesday!

How do you always win? I want to see a pic of the wreath.
Good luck with Pierce today.
If I need to cope reading without kid interruption for several hours does me well. But that is a rare occurrence.
PEDICURES!!! Going without the cell phone even! It's the BEST! I wish I could afford to go every month but alas I can't even remember the last time I went :(
I like the reminder signs. I don't like negative talk but I think I need somethin like that. Just a little reminder :)
...so i was thinking maybe just a pic of me without makeup posted on my bathroom mirror... it's not a negative note but just reality...
Baking, it's how I cope. I love to bake- problem is I love to eat all of whatever I baked, mostly cookies, and it shows! Oh well, life goes on I try not to worry about it too much unless I can't fit in my jeans!
I had such fun hanging with you last night! And I'm sorry that blogging isn't doing it for you these days. Please don't stop. We love to hear from you.
How about:
Be PRETTY! Wear your makeup.
Be SKINNY! Take your pills.
Be NICE! Take your Prozac.
lol. i love the alternate signs posted in the comment above... :)
what makes me happy when i am blue? i read a book to escape. or i look at food blogs or i bake something (i can't believe i'm saying this)
i used to have bad retail therapy until i read Dave Ramsey's Mondy Make Over. Go get that book.
I do have negative self talk... trying to be better..
love you!!

Again you crack me up! Yep I have some negative talk but being negative sometimes gets me on the ball with things~
When Im pmsing or feeling like crap usually watching a funny movie or taking a nap(which rarely happens maybe thats why im so cranky)..retail therapy used to be a huge bad mood breaker but kinda broke right now and its no fun to shop with a 4, 3 and 1 year old!!!
I want to see the wreath too. And I have one word for you: food. That is my therapy. My self medication. And why my weight is going up. I have thought about making it a rule that I can only eat in front of a mirror. Yikes!
SO what makes you happy when you are blue/Cranky/PMS-ING? Dr pepper & a big bag of funions
do you have a coping habit of choice? eating and if i have funds, shopping
do you have negative self talk? Yeah, who doesn't
You are so not any of the things that you mentioned above. I started to belly dance this week. And when I looked at the dancers I thought wow, look how big their bellies are...and then I saw them dance and how beautiful they looked and it changed my perception of my body and others. Something for you to think about.
Girl, get yourself one of those handy pill containers. Put your meds in it and pop them once a day and be done. Am I going to have to get crafty and make you one and send it out?
Hang in there, kiddo! (((hugs)))
go read my private blog...
I like the postive signs better!! Remind yourself of how you could be - pretty, skinny & nice! :)
You are a total bunko winner! Dang how does that always happen!! You are so lucky - dice just LOVE you I guess!! I want to see your pink boa wreath! Sounds delightful!
Hope Pierce's appointment went well!
PMS therapy? Chiles take-out and a new book from Barnes and Noble. Everyone does negative self talk and that's okay, just don't do it too much, you will make yourself feel bad. Take your pills! Then you won't need retail therapy. Maybe? :)
sometimes negative does help..i say do what works for you!
i love your prize...you have done so awesome at bunko!! first pick!! woo hoo!!
