I’m not doing so hot when it comes to this NaBloPoMo thing, am I? Last year I was all up in NaBloPoMo’s face and posted every. single. day. This year? Not so much.
I haven’t been blogging because I’ve been busy with the rest of my life. I have a wedding (in two weeks zomygod!) and a family to care for. I’ve also had doctor’s appointments out the wazoo. I’m stressed and starting to feel it with the physical manifestation of the rash that has broken out on my face. Lovely.
If you hadn’t noticed, there’s also a holiday right smack in the middle between now and the wedding…
… and I’m avoidingall three of us are avoiding Thanksgiving (maybe not The Kidlet - it’s his dad’s year to spend the holiday with him.) It’s hard enough trying to not think of Elaine while doing all the wedding stuff, but harder still - this will be the first Thanksgiving in 7 years we haven’t celebrated at her home, with her cooking, and her OMG amazing mashed potatoes. I miss her so much right now.
In spite of everything else, the wedding plans are, for the most part, falling into place. Many of details are going to be decided at the very last minute (AHEM, the entire catering menu?!) I head to San Diego next Sunday to start decorating - the one awesome thing about getting married at home is that the decorations can be put up days (or weeks) in advance and no one bitches. LOL.
We’re expecting about 40 people (pretty darn close to what I’d counted on) and only the closest of our family and friends. It will be elegant and beautiful, and just enough of everything to be perfect.
In the meantime…
This weekend I’m going to be all alone with me, myself, and I - K1 is in San Diego (of all places!!) working at a big conference, The Kidlet is at his dad’s and I’m…. home by myself. Such a strange feeling.
In my alone and strange feeling I start to realize - Life seems really heavy. Really, REALLY heavy, right now. When I feel like this I find myself blogging less and avoiding my computer (i.e. the internetz) as if it was covered with smallpox.
It’s strange, isn’t it? Most people write more when they’re stressed or need to ‘get things out’… me, I just avoid. Avoid is the word of the day.
Today I was reminded by a total stranger to “find the joy” in my life - especially in my hectic, pre-wedding life. Here’s what I had to say:
Re: I’M GETTTING MARRIED!!!
P.S. The title “Re: I’M GETTTING MARRIED!!!” is taken from the original thread where someone else told the world SHE was getting married (i.e. I wasn’t the one announcing my upcoming wedding). I replied with a Congrats and it went from there :) I’ve met such amazing people on Seesmic.
M&M Preminums are seriously THE best little mini candies ever. Don’t take my word for it, buy some for yourself (because I’m not sharing mine!)
I accidentally discovered them at Target one day and purchased the Triple Chocolate ones that come in the purple bag. OMG OMG OMG! Orgasm for my taste buds!
I’ve also tried the Mint Chocolate and Mocha flavors and both are just as yummy. The trick is to let each one melt completely in your mouth (no crunching these little babies) and enjoy every satisfying second.
Beware chocolate lovers - these things are uber addictive!
I haven’t officially blogged (anywhere!) in a week. I’ve needed a little time for ‘detoxificating’ myself - online and in my personal life.
The Dictionary of Krississippi.com: “Detoxificating”
de·tox·i·fi·ca·ting [dee-tok-suh-fi-kay-tng] (v)
1. The act or an instance of ridding of the effect of poison.
2. The treatment of [a person or blog] affected by toxic exposure to poison.
3. To undergo the process of detoxification.
4. To change unnecessary drama in one’s life or blog into a safer form.
Take it however you want it, but I wanna do bad things... right now.
