For anyone who does not already know, I’m pregnant! Pat and I are expecting a baby girl in April and couldn’t be more thrilled. As someone who suffers from extreme anxiety and OCD, being pregnant has brought about a whole new world of neurosis! I was told that my anxiety may get better or worse…… Continue reading If “what ifs” could kill…
If I had to pick one thing that causes me the most anxiety on a daily basis, it would be the thought of using public restrooms. I say “thought,” because I rarely ever use them. The situation has to be dire in order for me to even consider this as an option. I get it,…… Continue reading Public Restrooms – Oh, the Horror.
In general, I have a hard time eating at buffet restaurants. I mean, who really wants to eat somewhere that has sneeze guards protecting the food? No thanks. Not to mention the unruly children that will lick the serving spoons and put them back…or pick out the fruit they want with their grubby, grubby little…… Continue reading General Tso Chicken, Peking Duck.. and oh yea, Roadkill Delight
…It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt… or in this case DIES!… Have you read CNN this week? Two people died at a Chicago hotel after using the pool/hot tub. Wonderful. Personally, hotel pools creep me out. Pools in general creep me out, but hotel pools are the worst. People try to reassure…… Continue reading Hotel Pools = Death, well sometimes
I talk too much. So I thought I’d compile a bunch of photos that explain the way I’ve been feeling! I totally agree. Shopping makes me happy. Don’t you want me to be happy? If only it were that simple. Trying to remember this when my OCD is flaring and trying…… Continue reading Words to live by…
The first week of August always puts me into a funk. This August 8th will mark eight years since my best friend was killed. I think about her almost every day, but for some reason this week is always the hardest. I find that when I am sad, everything bothers me and my anxiety level…… Continue reading “What’s eating you?”
…And I said NO. It’s official, I’m an idiot. What was I thinking!? This could have been my big break. I could have been the next big reality star… like Kim Kardashian… or maybe even casted in a new Real Housewives franchise… Real Housewives of Chittenden County. Don’t lie, you’d watch it, I know you…… Continue reading Hollywood came a knocking…
…Now I have to worry about finding needles in my food? While eating my lunch today, yea I know, sick coincidence right? I found an article on CNN titled ” Dutch, US authorities investigating needles in airline sandwiches.” No, I’m not kidding. A passenger on a Delta flight (need I say more?) from Amsterdam to…… Continue reading Like flying isn’t scary enough…
I recently read an article which detailed the dirtiest surfaces in hotel rooms. First of all, gross. I don’t know about you, but I like to pretend that every hotel room that I stay in is brand spanking new and I am the first guest to stay in it. I used to love hotels, especially…… Continue reading OCD Travel Checklist
That is the question. No, I don’t have an eating disorder, but I do ask myself this question more often than I’d like. I think everyone has standards about the food they eat, the restaurants they dine-in and perhaps who they will allow to prepare their food. When you have OCD, especially the form that…… Continue reading To eat or not to eat…
