1. Sara sent me this from today's paper. It could have been written by me. I get freaked out when people touch me! I blame it on living alone for the past 6 years!!
DEAR ABBY: I am a young woman in my 20s who, while very friendly, is funny about being touched. I am extremely uncomfortable when people outside my immediate family hug me, rub my shoulders or place a hand on my back or arm. Yet somehow, people tend to do this with me.
How can I express my discomfort without sounding antisocial or mean? I'd appreciate your advice. -- TOUCHY SUBJECT
DEAR TOUCHY SUBJECT: Do it with humor. Say, "If you do that again, you'll have to marry me!" It should work with members of both sexes, depending upon the state you live in.
2. I had two candles going last night at my apt. It was sooo soothing, it was raining outside, thundering and dark, good smelling cinnamon candles, sigh.. I love fall!!
3. I am wearing my new work sweater today and am very upset that its alot shorter than i thought it was. I HATE short shirts! I like more of a tunic type of shirt. this is definately NOT!
4. I am getting homemade salsa from my Mom tonight. I can't wait to eat it! Better yet I can't wait to eat salsa ALONE at my apt without my BROTHER getting in the way and stealing it and not giving me any!
5. Tonight is my first night watching the kids in Small Group. I hope it goes well. tonight its just one girl and one boy. Surely I can handle this? Tomorrow night I'm excited to spend time with My Men as Mom calls them, Joey and Sammy. I am most looking forward to rocking Sammy to sleep. Best part EVER!!
6. I really should clean off the clothes on the glider rocker in my bedroom so I could sit there and read. Yeah I'll do that later!!
7. I think I am getting a cold and I am not happy about this:(
