Too sensitive?

I have always wondered if there is such a thing as Too Sensitive? You know when you cry at the smallest things, or you are hurt by something someone might have said or done…etc (and no I am not talking PMS)

Nothing in particular has happened today or recently, but I managed to cry a total of 4 times yesterdday – not sobbing or anything, but just tears. 3 times when I was reading 3 different blogs and some sad posts and once just thinking about something. This is has I have always been, I guess I was just wired this way.

But the real issue I have is that is being Too Sensitive WRONG? Is it looked at as a weakness of some sort? Is it really that uncommon? Why is it that people who cannot cry or those who do not show any emotion treated as NORMAL?

And no, nothing in particular happened to make me post this, just something I have always wondered and crying 4 times in less then 6 hours got me thinking about it.

So, tell me… is there such thing as too sensetive?

Changes…

I have decided to make some changes to my 101 list. I have realized that there are a few items on my list that I can probably no longer complete (due to distance…etc) and one that I have no control over to be putting a time line on.

Old Goal# 25 – Have a healthy baby

New Goal# 25 – Organize all the greeting cards I have been holding on to

Old Goal# 82 – Go to Zilker Park every year on Christmas Day

New Goal# 82 – Visit 3 new places

There might be a few more changes coming in the near future, but for now these are the only alterations.

Ohhh Happy Day… Ohhh Happy Day…

Sugar LOVED the snow!

And here are my two favorite creatures!

What a Special Day Indeed

               Bye Bye Bush…                                               &                                   Happy Birthday Honey!

With this ring…

I Poontater, take you SRR to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.

This makes me giddy…

I am definitely one of the odd one’s out there – see I LOVE cold weather. The colder the better and if it snows, well that is just a HUGE bonus. This is what we are looking at in the next few days and tee hee… I am super excited.

Goal# 37 – Become a more positive person (In Progress)

This is a very important goal for me. I used to be a lot more positive and had a much more positive outlook on things. Somewhere between now and then I feel like I have become a bitter-negative person. But I have been trying very hard to be the positive person I used to be and even though at times I find it hard (especially when it comes to personal things) I have found it to be very rewarding. There are definitely those times where I just want to be mad/bitter/selfish/jealous, but for the most past it has been getting easier and easier. I don’t want to be that person anymore (not that I have ever wanted to be), but $hit happens right. Certain things in life changes who we are or who we used to be and it’s our job to push all that behind and try to be become who we want to be.

I know that it might be a while before I am able to check this goal off my list, but I know that I am working on it and it feels good every step of the day.

Goal# 31 – Become a Donor

Man… I am hitting the year running. I get to mark something off my list and its only the second of January.

Well, Rob and I finally got off our lazy arses and went to the DMV today. We presented the lovely lady (insert sarcasm here) with our paperwork and were handed a ticket number. The first hour of wait was OK. Second hour of wait was just painful in every shape of form (hey, you try standing on a broken foot for 2 + hours and get back to me). But I must say, we saw our share of CRAZY people during our wait and also got to watch the lovely lady mentioned above go from sort of bitchy to a MEGA BITCH in no time. Anywho, around 4:00PM EST my number got called and I was able to proceed to taking my written test (yes, NC is smart like that and they make everyone re-take their written exam to get a license). I managed to pass the test with flying colors and was handed a piece of paper to take to the lovely lady mentioned above to have my photo taken and I am now an official NC resident and I have a horrid license to prove it. But back to the reason for the post, I am now an Organ Donor. Not necessarily sure that they can ever use any of my organs due to an illness when I was a child, but I am an Organ Donor nonetheless. Being a Donor is something I have always wanted to do and not being a religious person I don’t think I need to go where ever we go after death with all my pieces only to have them rot, when they can save someone’s life. I feel great about being able to mark this goal off my list.
