Bye Bye Baby

So, I just deleted a blog post.

I've never done that before, but after re-reading it, I realized whoa, that was pretty harsh.

And I didn't intend it to be. It was a bit of verbal vomiting that just came up. Yes, right now I am very frustrated with how things are. There were a couple of conversations (not with family or close friends either might I add)I had earlier in the week regarding

1. my Facebook and Twitter status posts. Apparently, I "annoy" several people by having perky posts that show I am accomplishing something. And I am truly sorry that you feel that way. Yes, I run on the treadmill most days and I am still fat. They are mutually exclusive. I like to eat. A lot, obviously. And I do like to take care of my family and look forward to the weekend when I am the chef. And I do scrapbook at lunch time, and can knock out about 2-3 pages at a clip. My feeling is that I share this with the world (much like my blog) because my friends and family want to know what I'm doing,

2. I read, a lot. And someone came up to me at lunchtime the other day and made a comment about what I was reading. Now mind you, I have my ipod on and I had to take out the ear buds. I didn't plan on having this conversation and really did not want to continue it, but they continued to chatter away, criticizing my taste in reading material. Somehow, someway what I was reading was bothering THEM. Whatever. they did rattle off about 20 titles of things I should read, according to this great literary critic. Whatever, I am not interested. This person did not seem to understand that I like to read what I chose, and not be beholden to them. In the past, despite the fact they really annoyed me, I would have read what they suggested to make them happy. Life's too short to read a bad book.

3. I am in the midst of a huge purge of stuff in my life, and its a very emotional time for me. Especially when I realize how much money I wasted on things over the years, it makes me angry at myself. And the amount of space these things have taken in my life makes me angry as well. Add to it the emotionality of stuff that belonged to my family, well its enough to send anyone over the edge.

So...if you were offended by the last post (now gone, hence the title bye bye)sorry. The comments were me wanting to give some peripheral people in my life a verbal beatdown. Since I am such a wuss, I'd never do it their faces, but I have to admit, dang it did feel good.

Back to our regularly scheduled blog posts. Carry on
