Food 4 Thought

So I sit on my computer at 12:30 am, and wonder, yet again, what to blog about...I feel like my blog is lame and needs some sort of "theme." Why do I feel like I can't just write what I want?? so ~same bat time, same bat channel~

This past weekend has been ROUGH!! Brian is not working and his schedule just isnt vibing with me! I mean, there is no time to chill and think or veg out. It's go go go all the time. I did hear him say a few times this weekend that this is the busiest he's been in forever. So thank the Lord for that b/c today when I got home from volunteering at the church I was all "I'm napping."----- like end of story, not a question. And NAP I DID! I slept for over 4 hours!! GOOD LORD! I can't remember the last time I did that! Anywho, it was fabulous.

But I'm pretty sure that I love *food* more than sleep. This has been a smorgasbord of food since our...um...tax return and I'm LOVING IT!! Friday was Doc Pierce's Saloon steak for date night. Saturday was Pizza Hut for Mom's 55th. Sunday was Cici's lunch with friends after church that was long overdue. Tonight was Wing's with my awesome sister for some bonding time. Food makes me happy. Food is SOOOOOOOOOOOO something I look forward to. I think about food all the time. I wonder what food will be served at events. I think about where to go out to eat next A LOT. I plan meals and make menus constantly. I like to go to the grocery store when we have money. I love to cook stuff when I can afford the ingredients. I get in on food schedules at church when someone has had a surgery or a baby. I really want to actually LEARN how to cook though...watching Julie&Julia 100 times isn't working :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch the Food Network and Bizarre Foods w/ Andrew Zimmern.

-------side note--------
Brian just told me that he could only "legally" sell like 5 cars a year on Craigslist without getting his dealer license. WHATEVER!------------------

Anywho, back to food, now that I'm all wound up....food makes me feel good. It makes me happy. I remember Granny's cooking the most as MY COMFORT FOOD! OMG it was awesome!! And her pies are *to *die *for!! HELLO!! And I remember certain meals that mean a lot to me...like Mom's pepper steak, granny's holiday spreads and her Wacky Cake.

Mostly though, nowadays, I like to go out b/c that means I don't have to cook. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doc's Saloon steak. I love Hana Yori's shrimp with lobster sauce. I love breakfast at Hilltop in Lakeville. I miss Bruno's pizza since they burned that bridge at my 30th in October. I am wanting to check out Ruth's Chris and that new chicago style deep-dish pizza place up in Granger. But I still L*O*V*E McDonald's Big Macs, Friday's, OCB, Steak 'n Shake, Mancino's, Chili's (which I just won a gift card to on the radio...I just had to guess the cheating celebrity spouse...which was David Letterman...but anywho) Charlie's, Olive Garden...I could go on and on! So anyone, if you want to get together with me for a meal somtime and PAY...I'm am SoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO IN!!!! :)

Day 2: Sitting with Myself. Length: 2 hours. Attention: Sexual Assault.

Today I decided to do the 2 hours together. I'm not sure that was super helpful. I feel like I just slept the last half hour/45 minutes anyway... even snoring/snorting myself awake a couple times.  I did take Xanax and hemp oil after the first hour so maybe that had something to do with it. So the first hour was more productive for sure. What kept drawing my attention was the sexual assault I endured at 12 or 13 years old... I know for sure that by 8th grade it had already happened because the bullying about it started during that school year. I was at the house party of an older male friend with my childhood best friend and I believe (I will just state the facts as I remember, from my point of view) we were the only 2 girls there. We were with Brian S, Brian H, Steve S, Cole G and I think that was it. We were playing some sort of game in the living room that turned into a drinking game possibly even a strip poker type of situation. There are flashes of memory after that: the hall ...

Day 11 Sitting with Myself 1 of 2. Length: 1 hour

 I own a small, predominantly online handcrafted jewelry business. I have been in business 3 years, 5 months & 2 days - exactly the same amount of time that I've been sober because I am an alcoholic. I'd like to think my success in both of those areas are directly linked. I stay sober by making jewelry. Successfully selling jewelry keeps me from drinking. But what if sales decrease or straight up end? Would I drink again? I drop new jewelry on my website every Friday at 9am est. It is 11:30 and I have zero sales. In all the years in business, that has NEVER happened on a drop day. It's depressing. I've watched sales steadily decline over the past few months, often daydreaming about the what if's and the why's. Is it our declining economy? Is it crappy designs? It is me? Recently it was brought to my attention that I offended and upset one of my long-time, consistently supportive customers. I noticed that she hadn't placed an order in several weeks. I was...
