I have had a pretty bad day today. It's actually been a pretty sucky year, but I don't blog much about it because it would be really boring and depressing. So instead I mainly just show my "happy side" to my blog. Is this disingenuous? It would probably be considered so. And that bugs me, because part of being a successful blogger is being an honest blogger. People can tell when you're BSing them. Not that I'm lying necessarily, just maybe omitting some of the...darker parts of my life. If only one could do that with life itself! Just erase the not-so-fun parts!
Anyway, I'm not the only one having a bad day, or a bad week. Some of my blog buddies (I swear I'll get my blog roll back up as soon as I've figured out what the heck I'm doing!) are having bad weeks, too. Money, health, marriage.... You name it. I'm really starting to think 2008 is cursed, because I honestly have yet to encounter someone for whom this year has been totally awesome (if you're out there, please share!). I know the foreclosure crisis and gas prices and the economy in general have everybody down, but there's more to it than that. It just seems like there's a dark cloud hanging over everybody. Bizarre things that you'd never expect to happen to certain people...are happening.
That said, I took about 20 minutes tonight to bawl like a baby, while I was making a snack -- cinnamon toast and some of my precious hot cocoa. I know I'm asking for diabetes with a "meal" like that, but, eh. I decided to stop crying so I could eat it, telling myself I could continue again when I'd finished. But now that I've got all the sugar and carbohydrates pumping lots of serotonin through my brain, I don't feel like crying anymore!
Of course, I'm aware that the buzz is only short-term with refined sugars -- I may be in for a crash later -- but for now I'm enjoying it. Hooray for sugar!

Enjoy the buzz! :) Oh sugar, what wonderful things you've done for me....
:)
Have a good week!
In all my efforts to get healthy -- reducing fat, cutting out a lot of chemicals, gravitating towards whole grains -- the one thing I can't ever imagine eliminating is sugar! It's such a wonderful thing!
You have a great week, too!
I'm not sure if sugar will help me when I'm feeling bad. I normally speak out and talk to my hubby about my concerns in life. He's a good listener and always gave me good advice. Good that the sugar works for you. Whatever problems you have right now, always remember that God is alwas there for you. You will not hear his voice but He will find other ways to help you. Cheer up! ^_^
Thank you so much for the kind words, Michelle. It's so true -- I know God is there for me (if He wasn't, things would be a lot worse!) -- but sometimes life can be so scary and hard. Thank God for family and friends, and bloggers! (Oh, and chocolate!)
