I left my lunch box in the fridge at work on Friday. It contained salad and pizza. When I get there tomorrow I hope to god that Food Vacuum¹ didn’t gobble it up. It had my name on it after all. If the name wasn’t enough to detour her, hopefully the pineapple on the pizza will. <.<

Mean? Possibly. True? Completely. My lunch has gone missing before. DO NOT LIKE.

“Tag! You’re it!” says Fee of Kinky-Cherries.com. Down below this sentence you’ll find the rules for this meme followed up by my answers!

What you cannot choose.  The Rules are Simple
We all know that blogging/facebook/twitter is in our arena of what we like to do, so I am going to rule them out as one of the 5 that you can post about. They really are not very girly. Likewise, phones, computers, ipads are all out of the running. I am challenging myself to this, as I am really not a girly girly type of person, and I want to find that within myself. It’s not all about power suits, filofaxes, ipads and designer phones.

If you want to pass this along, pick bloggers that you want to find out more about, and challenge them to write up their 5 secret passions that make them feel good. The idea is to lift our spirits this week. The fact that there is a linky added, just makes it all the more worthwhile in doing.

So let’s see. What are five things/passions that make me feel good. . .

1. The obvious first choice is my Husband, Jeremy. Aside from being totally awesomesauce himself, he makes me feel awesome when he’s around. When he’s gone I spend a good amount of time in my corner of woe. I become unbalanced and fret. Sadness creeps in and I’m just not awesomesauce anymore. Yet when he’s around or he calls I’m uber perky. I’m sure that emotional dependence is unhealthy, but I don’t care.
2. Cooking. I love to cook. I love to bake. I do however not love the dishes that come with this passion. In fact our single basin sink makes me loathe them. However, despite those two horrors, I love to cook. More so I love it when people enjoy my cooking. Despite making a dish a zillion times before I always ask how it is and worry that it’s not tasty. Cooking fills me with a satisfying sensation. Perhaps that’s why I’m overweight.
3. Working out. I never thought that I’d say this… EVER, but working out makes me feel good. I love it. Sure sometimes I can’t be bothered to get up off my ass, but for the most part I love it. Working out makes me feel in control and renewed. The more weight I lose the better I feel about myself.
4. Cleaning. Like number three I never thought that I would see this on my list, but the truth is I like to clean…most of the time. It’s not so much the cleaning, but the after part of what I’ve done. I love a clean house. Sure there may be some fur on the floor or dishes in the sink, but for the most part my house is pretty clean feeling. It helps me feel balanced and connected.
5. Gaming. Despite the fact that I’m somewhat of a button masher gaming fills me with joy, even if I do swear up a storm and growl at the TV. You see, growing up my Brother was a game hog even though the system was both of ours. He never let me play so I never got to really enjoy it. So when Jeremy and I got married and we started acquiring gaming systems I was very pleased that he let me play without trying to take over or make me feel stupid because I can’t get past a boss.

So that’s my list. What is YOUR list? If you decide to do this on your blog leave me a link, otherwise let me know in the comments what your passions are :).

Anna wrote a very well spoken blog post titled, “It takes a village. And a facebook group. And a twitter feed.” which I feel is so awesomesauce that I’m going to pass it on. This post pertains to the support judgment on other parenting styles in the online world.

I’m not even a parent yet and some of the things I read and see pertaining to other online acquaintances makes my stomach turn for the worst. Some of the time it makes me feel like I’d be a horrible parent because I won’t be co-sleeping, or fail at breast feeding and have to formula feed, getting my child vaccinated or circumcised . Then I have to remember that I am fucking awesome and will know what is best for US. What works and fits into OUR life and OUR beliefs. Not someone elses.

So take a moment and read Anna’s entry and realize that no one is a cookie mold or knows what is 100% best for you and yours. Educate yourself then decide and offer support not judgment because someone differs from your beliefs.

In case you missed my tweet, facebook update, or other insane random message, Ares found a forever home!

His adoption is currently pending but holy crap how awesome is that?! He was only being fostered for a week. <3 I’m so happy.

I’m getting sick. Throat is scratchy. Nose is runny. Do not want.
