My Favorite Things

"Raindrops on Roses, and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things. Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels, door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, these are a few of my favorite things. Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, silver white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel s bad...." Julie Andrews "My Favorite Things"

I think I am coming down with something, I have been sick for a week. Chad thinks it's just the stress I have been experiencing recently. Who would have thought stress could make you feel this bad. How do you relax? I don't really, work, sleep, clean house, work, sleep, work, day off, ok time to relax. But, I can't relax, looking at these Calculus problems is making me cringe. I keep telling myself, I am going to make it through this. I read a description of a person with my horoscope and I don't always believe those things but this description was me in a nutshell, "The perfectionist, worries, very smart, dislikes noise and chaos, eager, hardworking, loyal, easy to talk to, practical and often shy." Me in a nutshell, pretty scary. How do they know that? Most of those things I agree with, perfectionist, I have been told that all my life. In fact, my sister and her friend made homemade egg roles last night, 100 of them, and they wanted me to help, they said my first one was perfect, and so was every one after that. They said it took them 10 to get it right, what are the chances? But the one that sticks out the most in the description is "worries."
I would have to say, worry is an understatement.

Oh well, so how do I get past this? I have decided that on payday next week, I am going straight out to get a pedicure, that's always fun. Maybe I will go to a yoga class? When I took yoga I was a changed woman. Ok so yoga, pedicure, maybe buy that David Cook CD, and maybe a new purse. Material things, lovely, it's going to take material things to calm me down. Maybe I just need to skip the pedicure, the CD, and the purse and go straight to the hard stuff, THE SPA! I will let you know how this fight with myself ends up. I think maybe I'll call the doctor.
