YouTube

I usually upload my videos and make them public so I can add them onto here and people can watch them with ease. I uploaded one yesterday and I was going to post it today. The freakin' thing already has been viewed 86 times!! DANG! I think maybe I just uploaded it at a busy and boring time. I bet most of those views were like 3 seconds and then they left. I don't know how I feel about that yet, but here's Noah and I making cookies :) It's really nothing special! He was being really cute and counting and I wanted to capture it on video, but then he saw the camera and lost his concentration. Little ham.



In a semi-related story. I checked my Flickr today and noticed someone I didn't know had marked the picture of me pregnant in the green striped shirt as a favorite. I was curious so I clicked on this person and discovered he/she had several collections of pregnancy photos, one of which was titled "Pregnancy Porn" (which of course I did NOT click). So I quickly deleted that harmless photo and reposted it as friends and family only. I've heard of these kinds of weird people, but never imagined I'd be one of the collectibles. I am feeling a little grossed out by the web right now. I am going to remain positive and keep things public. A majority of people out there are just decent people and I like meeting new people.

The new blogger has a lot more privacy settings. You can do invite only and password protect it. It's great!

Yeah we don't make cookies very often because I'm just not a big fan of sweets. Oatmeal cookies are gooood though, not too sweet :)

Allie Update

Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him. My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected

Enough Planning, More Doing

I've been researching, reading about, diving into, writing about, and thinking about building confidence and self-trust for about 8 years now. It's time to get more intentional and active about it. I think I'm ready to move into that phase finally. I have a tendency to take in information and keep mulling it over, writing and expounding upon this that and the other, but now it's time for an actual plan. An action plan. I understand the problem as much as I can from the outside looking in. Now it's time to create learning opportunities: to make mistakes and deal with the consequences or to achieve something and deal with the praise. That's the next phase of learning... doing . So today I am creating a specific list of tasks that I have to do in the months ahead that specifically target insecurities and seek to force me to deal with the reality of those insecurities. The goal is to be able to build resilience  by proving my old voices wrong with a stack of accompl
