Hey there, HAAAY!!! I’m glad everyone liked the dating tips yesterday. Make good use of them ladies! So guess who has two thumbs and is at work today? This girl! Yup. It seems that this place can’t function if I’m gone for more than one day in a row. It’s nice to be needed I guess, but it would also be nice to be able to have a life. Oh well. I have no life so it really doesn’t matter right now. I’m going to try to leave at noon so it’s not a total loss 
Yesterday was a great day off. I spent the entire day at my aunt’s house. She’s a massage therapist and is training for her certification in EFT so she gave me the most glorious massage I’ve ever had, did reflexology on my feet (so relaxing!), and then worked with me on EFT. EFT is an alternative psychotherapy technique that involves tapping on acupuncture points and repeating self affirmations. It sounds kooky, but I’ve read a lot about it and my ex-boyfriends mother told me about it a long time ago and uses it to help with her migraines. My aunt and I both share a belief in mind-body connections and natural healing so when she asked me if I was game, I jumped on it right away. She warned me that it could bring up a lot of emotions, but I didn’t expect the session to turn out the way it did. I ended up in tears and a lot of issues and memories came to the surface. I know it sounds weird, but it was actually very therapeutic. I don’t want to go into the things that came up or what we discussed, but I’m going to keep working with her and we’re meeting again next week. If you want to know more about, shoot me an email.
Today’s Thursday and we know what that means….Three Things Thursday! If you’re new to the blog, this is a post where I list three things that are annoying me this week. Basically, I whine about my white people problems. You get your chance in the comments.
1. Progressive Commercials. I hate those commercials with that perky, annoying woman “Flo”. She just irritates the crap out of me. I want to punch her right in her red lipsticked mouth. No one is that excited over car insurance. Shut your face.
2. Depressing Weather. I never comment on the weather, but it’s been gray and rainy for about a week now. It’s depressing me. No lie, I seriously want to throw myself in front of a bus. I need to stare at pictures of sunsets or something because if it rains one more day, I’m going to slit my wrists. Well, maybe I’ll just drown my sorrows in vodka. No need end it all just yet. I’d like to at least have sex again in 2011.
3. Self Acceptance. I won’t go into too much detail, but one of the issues that came up during my EFT session with my aunt was my difficulty accepting myself the way I am and feeling worthy of other people’s love. There are different reasons for this and I struggle with it off and on. I’m just trying to figure out how to let go of these things, stop pushing people away and have faith that I’m fine the way I am. I think all women struggle with this. We have a lot of outside pressures from the media, work, etc… that when you add other experiences on top of it all, it’s very difficult to not try to live up to expectations and just be yourself. When I find out how to do this, I’ll let you know. Please do the same.
What’s driving you crazy this week?
