My Merry Christmas, etc Post

It's been a bit!! I'm trying to focus my energies over here, and as is typical of Kristen Shanna...we got a lot going on. Our new puppy, for example (big, long, drawn-out, exhausted sigh). I've been helping out a lot, as I expected, but yesterday, when I just about keeled over with depressed exhaustion, I had to officially turn the reigns over to XO. Today, she is having culture shock. Eight a.m. is a hello lot earlier than her typical 2-4pm wake up. I could tell she'd just about had it with the pup this morning, and I have to admit I felt a little bit sorry for little Jesse. Yep...we finally named him. We picked him up on December 22, after about a 7 week wait, which was good timing, since I was on official Winter Break vacation time. I knew I would be essential in helping set the initial routine for potty training, feeding and simple commands. Jesse is a shelter mix who was rescued from Memphis, Tennessee. He was apparently on a euthanasia list, along with h

Oh the joys of being human!

Oh the joys of being human. Please don't try to cut me off in the McDonald's dual drive-thru lanes (a secret pet peeve of mine), or do anything else even mildly suspicious of potentially trying to cheat me; because, if you do, you will see a less desirable me than I would typically choose to present. ...especially if I am at the end of my limits. So, this week's fun story...I TOTALLY lost it crazy-paranoid style on a total stranger. No, seriously, I became entirely convinced that my car salesman was unethically withholding my car title from me...because he didn't properly answer my text in a "reasonable" amount of time. And so, naturally, I LET HIM HAVE it...in a series of communications ranging from snarky to slightly berating. So, that was awesome. I have to admit, I was pretty humiliated when I realized that my anger and panic were, for the most part, ungrounded. Fortunately for me, while my number one was absent and (nearly) unreachable, my second

Feel like...well, me.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I have been riding on the struggle bus for long enough now. If I didn't find my stop, I think I might have lost my mind...or something a heck of a lot worse, because 90% of my problems might actually be eliminated if I had. Just sayin'. I checked out two books this week at the library. One is a self-help about being resilient to shaming. (Let me tell you something...I may sound rude at times. It took a good and trusted friend to help me see that. However, you will NEVER question where you stand with me, if you spend a little time in my presence. I may be brutal, but I am honest and clear. Because I have been the recipient of this non-verbal high and mighty, bologna some people like to dish out, and in my haughty opinion, THAT IS THE WORST. Just, fyi, people...if you feel it in your heart, it shows in your face and actions. You are not hiding it...especially from the hyper-senstive. So...yeah...just...go ahead and take a
