Part of moving forward, for me, is coming to terms with the emotional manipulation and abuse I was subjected to.
I found a website that talked about the damaging effects of psychological invalidation, and I wanted to share some of it because I could relate to it on so many levels.
“invalidation is to reject, ignore, mock, tease, judge, or diminish someone’s feelings […]...
My New Years Resolutions
Lose weight. Seriously. I’ve never weighed this much, and I’m not eating healthy. 2012 is the year to get healthy.
Get over my last relationship. I need to move on, for my own sake. That doesn’t mean I’ll ever forgive or forget, but I need want to move on. I want to be able to open my heart to someone else, because I deserve to be loved and treated like a person of worth,...
2011 in Review
I burnt my hand making a recipe I found on Tumblr.
I went up a bra size. On a related note, I got fat.
I indulged my love for cupcakes. I got an EASY-BAKE OVEN. I had my own drunk baking experience.
I didn’t get into grad school. (And you were all really supportive!)
And then, I did get into grad school. And I received an NIH Fellowship. Which allowed me to buy a MacBook!
My mother...
I’d like to know why the lab smells like dog fart.
Rough morning indeed. Just got bitten hardcore by a rat. Not my rats, of course. My boys know better. They love me and are used to being handled. Since I’m the only one in the lab today, I have to feed Brendan’s rats too. I opened the fucker’s cage to give him food, and the ungrateful bastard immediately jumped out and latched onto my finger. Like, still attached to my finger as...
By the way, I’m still wearing the pants.
Fly open and all.
Thank god I’m alone in the lab with only me to judge myself.

Sarah’s advice when I called her pouting this morning about the pants:
“it’s ok, we’re fat. We’ll just roll everywhere. Wear leggings, you won’t notice how fat you are.”
I’m having a rough morning, you guys.
I broke the zipper on my pants AGAIN.
The same pair the I broke last week and just got fixed.
It’s time to face the truth: I have never weighed this much.
As much as I want to lay on the floor and pout and cry, I think it’s time to go on Weight Watchers after the new year.
Saw a wonderful production of the Nutcracker with the kids yesterday, something I haven’t seen since elementary school.
It’s amazing how indoctrinated by Disney I am.
It slightly shocked me when there were no dancing mushrooms in the production.
GO AHEAD AND JUDGE ME.
Got my first eBates check.
$4.80.
Rollin’ in the dough.
Well, since Sarah decided it’s a “thing,” I might as well follow.

Important notice
Naked 2 is now available at Sephora.
I promised myself I wouldn’t buy it.
But I did anyway.
I blame you all.
whiskeybentandhellbound asked: Tag, you’re it! Here are the rules: Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves. You have to choose and tag ten people. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them.
I fed a rat some pop rocks the other day. This is what happens when I’m left in the lab unsupervised. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a video until it was too late.
If I take a rat home as a pet, I want to make him watch Ratatouille to see if he likes it.
A very Merry Christmas to you all!
My first Christmas has been wonderful, to say the least.
I am very blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.
The store was staffed for a much busier day than we actually had, so guess who got to leave three hours early?
Best thing that could have happened, especially after my 6:30 am wake up by the twins over a gift wrapping emergency.
Thank god I am not clocked in yet at work because you don’t even want to know what I just found in one of the stalls in the ladies room.
People are so gross.
Why talking to my mom is like talking to a wall
Mom: this isn't a good time, can I call you back in a few minutes?
Me: ok
Mom: yea I'm going to have to call you back in a minute.
Me: ok...
Mom: do you want to hang on or do you want me to call you back?
Me: OH MY GOD
(She could hear me just fine on the phone)
The best part about being in the lab when the rest of the university is closed?
Best parking spots every day!
And I can nap without fear of someone walking in!
Guess who’s frying up some latkes and stewing some apples for applesauce?!
I know it’s really warm out, but running in short shorts with no shirt? Is that entirely necessary in the middle of December?
I’m running at the speed of negative thirty today (so slow I may as well be going backwards), and so I brought breakfast in the car.
I got butter on the steering wheel. Instead of wiping it off, I scraped it back onto the toast so as not to waste any. Paula Deen would be proud.
What has my life become?
Hey girl happy chanukkah →
This is brilliant. If you are a Jew or love Ryan Gosling, that is. And I have a feeling most of you fall into one of those two categories…
Screw you, Washington post!
A quote in an article about Jewish music around the holidays really ruffled my feathers. “At every service there is some singing, but it’s never very convincing.”
Come to my Synogogue and try saying that. The music and the melody of the prayers is one of my strongest connections with my religion and heritage. Most of my memories growing up in my...
I am moving at the speed of zero this morning. I drove all day yesterday and then worked until ten, so I’m wiped.
I can’t wait to go home and shower and nap, but I really really need to go shopping for my secret Santa and Tumblr. Don’t judge, finals ate my soul- Plus there are twelve days of Christmas, right?
