What I'm Reading This Week #35
Howdy do and happy last Friday of August! I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day! It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get. Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

I am definitely a cryer!! Luckily my parents are too so they didn't ever give me a hard time about it because they were usually crying at the same things I was. My brother did not get the crying gene so he always looked at us like we were crazy.
ReplyDeleteThe family that cries together bonds together, I always say! (Well, not always but I just did.)
DeleteI have never been a cryer until I started creeping up on menopause. Now I have feelings and can't wait for the menopause to be over and go back to being the soulless ginger I know I am.
ReplyDeleteDarn those hormones! ;-) Hoping you're back to soulless ginger status sooner than later...all those feelings. Bleh!
DeleteDefinitely a crier. My family always says I cry 'at supermarket openings'. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that it had a negative connotation and the implication that my feelings weren't real. To this day I get teased if I tear up - no matter the cause.
ReplyDeleteYou have found your brethren, so you cry away! There is NOTHING negative about crying, it's far worse to keep it all inside whether at a sad movie or a supermarket opening.
DeleteI used to be a crier at the drop of s hat when I was young. I didn't understand the strong emotions I had and it was not okay to express too much joy or anger in any way, so it came out in tears. In recent years I went the opposite route and pretty much shut down any and all tears (PTSD has a lot to do with that for me) and I could describe my feelings quite clearly but couldn't let myself cry because there was always the next thing that needed to be done. So the things that I should have been able to cry about were on a very long delay by months, if not years. I don't know if I have more balance today, or just a greater understanding of why my brain handled emotions the way it did in all phases of my life. I don't cry often now but when I do let go, it's a deep-well kind of cry.
