listening to... 'Clockwork Princess' by Cassandra Clare just came out today!! This is my most anticipated book of the year!! I've got it on audiobook and I can not wait to get into it this afternoon. I'm also listening to 'Reckless' by SC Stephens which is good. Don't make fun of me, but I've been listening to the Tinkerbell: Secret of the Wings soundtrack. Those songs are catchy.
watching... LD and I started watching The Americans this week. To be honest, we're not really impressed. We are going to watch Duck Dynasty next. Look hilarious. I'm watching You've Got Mail right this minute while Sebastian takes a nap.
eating... I just had a grilled cheese {the Scots call it a toasty!} and a bowl of minestrone soup. The snow is coming down and I'm absolutely freezing. I'm trying to warm up.
reading... This past week I've been going through my favorite books and reading my favorite parts. Lame? I don't think so. It is totally fun! I just finished 'Can You Keep a Secret' by Sophie Kinsella. This is not my first time. I just laughed through the whole thing.
wearing... Layers and layers. I'm freezing!!!
feeling... Hurt. Someone hurt my feelings yesterday and I spent the whole day in tears. Some hurtful things were said to me and I cleaned the whole flat trying to forget about them. Then I spent the whole evening in bed trying to feel better.
wanting... spring to come. I'm so over winter already. Why can't the sun just come out?!
thinking... about fun activities for teenagers. I was just called to work in the youth group with my church and tonight we have a planning meeting. I'm so excited to get some fun activities planned!
needing... a break. Do you just need a break from motherhood? Not a big one...but just a few days to sleep and get my mojo back.
enjoying... Last night when I was feeling so down and hurt I mentioned to LD that I just wanted a big sprite, a girly magazine and a movie. I got into the shower to help me relax and when I got out LD had gone out to buy me a sprite and a magazine. He got me all set up in bed to just relax and try to feel better. I enjoyed relaxing last night and being taken care of.
Hiya Mary!
ReplyDeleteI found you through the GFC blog hop. I'd so glad to stumble on a fellow expat! (I'm an American living in the UK with my English partner) xx

Oh no!! Mares, what happened? I'm sorry you had such a rough day. What is up with stupid people??? I hope you feel better today.
ReplyDeleteThe Americans is a horrid, boring show. I was so disappointed with it! Duck Dynasty... wow. I watched an episode while in Idaho this last week and it was fascinatingly, hilariously, wretched. I couldn't stop watching it. Good golly. If you need a pick-me-up, that's it!
Love you girlie!
Stupid people. Ugh. Ruined my day!
DeleteWe're so totally bored with The American's. It should have been good, but it isn't. We only made it about 5 episodes before we just stopped.
So sorry your feeling got hurt. Some people just don't think before speaking. The tongue is a powerful weapon to praise or hurt.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I'm trying to remind myself that some people don't think before they say something.
DeleteDon't let insignificant people get to you so much. Even those who we tend to believe are more significant, are simply human. Also remember that opinion is not truth. Truth is absolute, but opinion varies by person. When people say such hurtful things, I generally start to wonder, 'Okay... what is really going on here? What is REALLY the problem that they are not dealing with and are instead projecting onto me?" At any rate, you can't have 100% approval from 100% of people because people are moody. :o) Shake it off. Don't let insignificant words interrupt your life. You know who you are.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. I'm sure there were much more behind the scene's that I'm not aware of. Also, I know not everyone will like me. But, it still hurts when I know they don't or they say something just to hurt me. Time to move on.
DeleteYou have an awesome husband! Lucky girl indeed! I'm wanting Spring to come too. It's starting to be ridiculous.
