I think something is seriously wrong with me. I mean, I am a crier in life. I am. If you, a total stranger, write about your mother or dog or hedgehog passing away, I will sit here at my desk and cry. Those humane society commercials with the dogs and cats....I'm a puddle. And I've seen the same commercial a zillion times- still makes me cry. I cry at every wedding, even if I am only there as an "and guest" and don't actually know the couple. If you call me to tell me that you are pregnant, I will cry every single time. Without exception. A birth story? Tears. Good things, bad things, stressful things....tears are my relief I guess. And I'm fine with that. Sometimes if I get in a funk, I will purposefully watch something teary to make myself cry. For me, it's cathartic. Oh and minus the wedding setting, it's usually private. Five minutes in my car or bedroom. It's not like I walk about town sobbing in front of strangers. I am actually a fairly jovial person. I think it's because I know that sometimes I need to let the sadness or stress out via tears so that I have room for all the joyful emotions in life. Or that's how I reason it to myself anyway.

So with that being said, I think I have taken a wrong turn into the land of Tearville. I am not near my period, so it's not that. Last week brought a big dump truck of new and unexpected stress to my life. So it could be that. But golly, I am just a bubbling idiot lately. Good things and bad things alike.

Did anyone else watch Oprah today? I only saw the second half but when Cherise came on to sing "Note To God" ..... OMG I was a puddle. A puddle!! Sobbing. The dog was just staring at me. Who could blame her? Her moma has officially lost it. I really need to get this recent surge in eye moisture under control. It's obnoxious and makes me stuffy and I have enough issues with allergies to add a stuffy nose to the mix. Ugh! The song was seriously beautiful though. That mixed with her personal story. Don't listen/watch if you are not prepared to full on sob.
