National Get the Stress Out Month!

November 11, 2012 By Barbara Leave a Comment

This month has been hectic so far. The holidays are not here yet and I’m already stressed.  First of all, I’m trying to finish the 3rd book of my Amish Bloodsuckers Trilogy while maintaining some semblance of order around my hearth and home. (Okay, I don’t really have a hearth, so it should be pretty easy with just a home, but still…)

With my self-imposed deadline looming, I find my mind wandering more than usual. Stress does that to me. The more I feel pressed and fearful that I won’t get something done in time, the more I procrastinate and daydream. Seems normal, right?

So, here I am this evening thinking about important stuff like what is happening on Revenge, cause I skipped watching it so I could write.

I also wonder why Chipotle Chedder cheese is for a limited time only but Jalapeno Jack cheese is available every day of the week. That right there proves life is not fair!

Speaking of dairy products, why do different brands of milk taste different? After all, they all come from cows! Except for Goat milk which – obviously – doesn’t.

Have you ever wondered why dog treats smell just as bad as dog food, but dogs act like they’re getting something really special? That’s like my daughter getting excited about Sponge Bob shaped macaroni and cheese. It tastes exactly the same as regular macaroni but the noodles are square instead of round. I haven’t actually eaten them, so that is total supposition.

I also wonder how we as a society can accept the wasteful use of billions of dollars for political advertisements during this last campaign when our elected officials are supposedly working to fix the economy, create jobs, feed hungry children, and save wild horses from being turned into dog treats. (Okay, I made that last one up, but you get my drift.)

So, here I am writing down my thoughts for the day instead of writing my book. I guess everyone needs a break once in a while. Now I’ve had mine, so off I go to finish that Amish Bloodsucker Trilogy. I did leave you all hanging at the end of SHUNNED…
