Cry baby

Oh man,

So for the last 2 weeks I have been an emotional wreck. (warning, this gets pretty long). I went off one of  my medicines and it kicked my butt, plus I was PMSing, so there, ya, I used that excuse.

For two weeks, plus some lasting residual, I have CRIED at everything.

Some of its been pretty funny because they can't be explained:

- Jeremy and I were driving home from the grocery store and Queen's song "You're My Best Friend" came on the radio. I turned to Jeremy and I was super excited and I said "This is my FAVORI---" and the tears started STREAMING down my face! I couldn't help it, I just LUVVVV that song so much. Plus, Jeremy's my best friend and I feel like IF I could sing I would sing this to him, but he's not that into music and I don't think he'd get the full meaning and understand the feeeeellllliiiinnnngsss I have for it and him....

- I was going to have lunch with Jeremy on campus for lunch and as I walked to the Crossroads cafeteria I watched a bunch of students break dancing to Kanye West and Daft Punk song "Stronger" and it made me REALLY home sick. WHAAA??? ya. As I walked into the building had to tell myself to not cry, I am 28 darn it! but I couldn't find Jeremy and it was all too much! So I leaned against the wall crying and texting my best friend Becky that Kanye made me cry.

- On our way back from Idaho Falls one day BYU-I radio jazz hour was on and it was Disney Bossa Nova from Brasil in Portuguese. I'm not a huge Disney fan ( I know, may I be cursed to hell, yadda yadda yadda) but these were so cool! The song that did me in was a version of "Bibbity Bobbity Boo" (listen to it, I dare you not to have your heart swell and spill out your eyes!). Maybe my body forgot what it felt like (for 2 weeks) to be extremely happy over small things so it just made me cry for the heck of it. Thanks body, see if I take care of you this week! Pass me the ice cream.

Some has been ridiculous: NPR has made me cry 2, thats two, times!!!

- The first time was on my way to have lunch with Jeremy and I had NPR on and it was a few days before the  Chilean miners were rescued. All the stories were touching but only one made me cry. Sigh. A beauty salon in the town near the mines were giving the daughters, mothers, sisters, and wives of the miners free haircuts, manicures, and makeovers to be beautiful for their men coming home. I don't know why, but this touched me and I cried and cried and had to change the channel.  They just wanted them to feel beautiful for their men. What if everyone just helped each other like that?

- Jeremy and I were coming home after school and work and NPR had a report (sense a pattern?) from Canada about a man who helped set up a banking system for families who had a child with disabilities. He asked the parents what do you want for your child's future, and they answered "financial security and friends". I LOST IT! Everyone should have friends. I can't imagine being a parent of a child with disabilities and knowing that you can't be there for their entire life.

There are A LOT more things I've cried over, but these were the most ridiculous.

HAHAHAHA, I feel silly now.

  1. You are so not alone! I remember crying over a toothpaste commercial because my teeth weren't as abnormaly white as the girl on TV :)
