My Trip of a Lifetime

I grew up with them. I loved them. They were the BEST fairy tales ever!!! I watched the movies all the time growing up. I couldn't get enough of them.  Let's fast forward to the present. People are now saying the stories are sexist. That they wish that they weren't here. All because they tell girls that they aren't as smart as boys and tells girls that they deserve massive pieces of  jewelry if the man really loves them. That their man needs to be rich. That girls can't do what boys can do...climb trees, play in the dirt, go hunting, financially take care of the family, etc. (I saw a story that pretty much stated this on AOL ).  What I don't get is how parent's are always so serious with their kids now a days. I get that everything kinda sucks, but let your kids be kids and have imaginations. Didn't they believe in Santa, Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy??! I did. Tell your kids that these princess stories are fairy tales...that they AREN'T re

Depression eating...Is it possible??! For me it is. Do you do it??! I get what I call depression when I am alone. Granted I'm not a big fan of groups, but it's a hell of a lot better than being alone. When I'm alone, I get sad.....really sad. Not suicidal. I don't believe in suicide at all. Just sad.

I can't believe I did that, but when it comes to depression eating, all you do is eat, eat, and eat some more!!! A lot of women self medicate with food...sometimes I wonder if men self medicate with food as well. I would think that they did, too. It's an insaciable (sp?) hunger that NOTHING fills. Nothing, I mean food wise. When I get to where I am right now, I don't want to do anything, I text my fiance a million times, and I just sit on my ass a

It's Valentine's Day. I hope everyone is having a LOVELY day (and yes that was full of sarcasm). No, Patrick and I haven't broken up. He just had to work a double and I happen to be off of work today. :-/ I wanted flowers....but didn't get those. I wanted a card....but didn't get that. However, I DID get a big, ol' fluffy teddy bear!!!!! He's keeping me company at the moment. Keeping me from completely being sad about today. I'm very lonely...all of my friends are doing stuff with their families and significant others today. Me you ask? I'm sitting on the couch in the apartment that I share with Patrick, in my PJ's, watching THE FIRST 48, and waiting for dinner to get done cooking. I took a shower, hoping that I could forget about today.....but it didn't help that much. Just made me a bit sadder. But my bear, whom I affectionately call Patrick Jr., is keeping me company and helping me through the day. I shouldn't be that sad abo
