I’ve been thinking and guess what? There are some thinks I think you should know. Because.
1. Unicorns are real. This I know.
This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Tells me so 9 times, in 5 different books, by at least 5 different authors. (Google it.)
So there.
Take that however you want, but now you know. Just in time for the world to end tomorrow.
It’s still not to late to repent and accept Jesus into your heart and believe in unicorns.
2. Wine Glass Sippy Cups. I think you should know I do not approve.
I won’t go into it again.
3. Stainless steel appliances may not be the best way to go if you have even slight OCD or neat-freak tendencies. I think more people should know this.
Why? This.
You can’t even clean it with “normal” cleanser because that makes a fog.
ANYWAYS….I think there should be a washable “sticky” type of decal (in black) you can place on handles and “high frequency” areas. You’d be able to peel on and off to wash whenever you want.
Why is there not something like this on the market?
Closest I can find is this:
which is pretty clever and I thought you should see it.
I also think you should know that yes, these are the things I think about.
2. Because this…..
4. I don’t understand these. I think they are wrong…or I’m getting it wrong (but I’m not.)
5. I think you should know that I am fully aware of how ridiculous my blog is.
So what? I have fun. And sometimes, maybe I have some good stuff to share like…
6. I think you should know:
I think you should do this ….many times… on Christmas day.
Love, Jesus, is always available to us. Always here.
Be present and experience His Presence. If only for a moment.
Give praise.
*And for those of you who don’t jive with Jesus, or unicorns… please let the message stand. Absorb the love this Christmas. It’s all around.
Peace, Blessings and All my love (mean it!),
Missy
Ps- Sorry for my busted-ness in this pic. (not to be confused with bustiness) Rough week.
Missy,this is a lovely post! Yes, I jive with Jesus and he is good!
The unicorn thing, hmmmmm, can you explain pleeeease?
(Those shoes are egregious!!!!!!)!
Egregious indeed. And that shoe is a also a yoni.
I love words.
And here you go: Only in KJV though.
Numbers 23:22 “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.”
Numbers 24:8 “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.”
Job 39:9 “Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”
Job 39:10 “Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?”
Psalms 29:6 “He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.”
Psalms 92:10 “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.”
Deuteronomy 33:17 “His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Psalms 22:21 “Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.”
Isaiah 34:7 “And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.”
So many thoughts/comments…
Delusionalness.
Why would someone want to look like a camel? And have camel toe? *shudder*
Woot for 7lbs above goal weight. I wouldn’t have believed it cuz grrl you are skinnyz. Bet my doggies bigger than you (meant in a good way? cuz he’s awesome and big and super huggable/non-squishable).
He also sometimes reminds me of a unicorn and I sometimes call him my unicorn.
I like how you have x-mas tree next to palm-like tree. Jealous!
Your hilarious and gosh yes those shoes, just …WAT.
And just to clarify I’m not 7 lbs over an “ultimate” goal weight…like as in healthy and menstruating and buxom …(though it feels like it) just the goal weight that Doc wanted me to maintain until Feb.
Slow and steady because I freak out when I gain so fast (nerve endings) and I do usually. Fast like 10 lbs since Thanksgiving so…ow. Rough week. Totally fine – whatever.
Bootie, though. Bootie.
I want to meet the dog.
I had to look up buxom..vocab fail… I did, however, know what yoni means. From reading Yoga Bitch. Recommended.
And saying “‘ultimate’ goal weight” had different connotations for me at first. ED fail. I slipped and have checked PT this week…
You have every right to freak out. 10lbs in ~1month is substantial. But..on the possibly bright side…Now you just have to maintain till Feb? And it will help you keep warm in the blistery Florida winter? (bitter…it just started snowing here). And booty. Sexy weight. *R Kelly voice* b..b..b..b..booootttyyyyy
If it makes you feel any better I’m having adjustment body issues. To my muscle? That I gained forever ago…B/c I havent gained weight…if anything I lost when I was sick last month. But it feels bigger/fatter b/c of the muscle bulk under there? But sometimes I feel like my abs actually do look better? And arms less fat? The point was, mind fucks regardless of how the body is…(nvm maybe that’s not …good…). But its a mental thing and not a physical thing? Is there some mental/emotional issue that you’re dealing with that’s making gaining weight feel like its feeling?
I’m trying to cope with my underlying fear (of failure? not pleasing? not being good enough? or doing things right?). Terrifying. So afraid I avoid it. Coping skillz.
My dog’s cool.
I always aim for the bright side….and it DOES help when my friends share their experience… I tend to let the nerve-ending visceral discomfort scare me into …well..nowhere good. It helps to know that change happens and it may be normal and totally possible to get “used” to.
With me…always visceral. Always. Yes, there is a CRAPTON going on emo-wise…but what kills me is the feeling from the inside out.
I hate even writing this (why I never “blog” about it) because I feel it just indulges the insanity.
Again — bright side only. Mental maneuvers oh so key in battling distorted insane thoughts.
I indulge or maybe enable my insanity more than I should…I need to work on acknowledging and coping. Arg. Its just one of those days where I try to take a deep breath and do something else…
And actually I think its kind of cool you can get new nerve endings. Neato what the body can do.
And just in case looking at the bright side doesn’t work, there’s always the looking at the “at least its not worse” side. Like you may feel some new fat and muscles, but at least you don’t hallucinate that things are rubbing you and touching you at night. Or get creepy crawlies.
Work helps me gain some perspective…Our cerebellums will help the real world and our perception be in sync!
Sneaking that 7 pound thing into the comments, are we? CONGRATS!!!!
Also, I have to respectfully disagree about the sippy cup thing. I have unfortunate photographic evidence (though no memories) of an evening at a relative’s wedding where the sippy cup would have been very useful and practical. You see, my dress was black and white and I loved it and I wore it for the first time at said wedding. At the end of the evening and forever thereafter, the dress was black and white and red. Had I those sippy cups? I’d still be able to wear that dress.
Yes, I’m a grown-up.
If I got to party with you (in a dress no doubt?) we both would need sippys. I’d make an exception.
OK, wait. The shoes are redic. The smudginess is enough to drive me bonkers. That’s why I almost didn’t get my black appliances, but why I for sure didn’t go stainless. The black is bad enough and I wash them almost daily. The stainless would have driven me batty.
I admit I wonder why no comment regarding the DIY crafted door handle cover…looks …well…not to good but you could make it cute, but it’s really only good when you have a stainless steel handle I suppose. I mean, sponges work on all the rest.
I wish I had more OCD in me. I think I have a lot of O but not a lot of C.
Hmm…I kind of do too! LOL. I stare at my baseboards and yet …do nothing. However I have an abundance of C when it comes to food. And buying it.
This is food for thought.
Don’t want to trigger you here, don’t want to downplay how tired you feel, but you look so very beautiful in that picture, I just had to tell you.
Golly gee *blush* thank you. Your comments are always so great.
High five?
Massive high five
Unicorns
Him
Love
All good things
Those shoes…not so much.
Hugs to you!
You are one Audacious, Bodacious, Awesome women ever.
I don’t meet many people who work as hard as you – on just plain living, and trying for positivity.
You are so smart, so clever, so glitter to me.
We look forward……we do……
All of us Unicorns.
AGREED!
LOL…you both have to meet me so my “other” sides shine through and you recognize I am not all awesomeness FO SHO.
But…that’s okay..my weeds just help me notice my flowers.
I should definitely hop on a plane to Florida. It’s far too cold here!
<3
I hope I don’t upset you but you concern me. I understand you are making attempts to recover and I know how hard it is as someone who was in and out of treatment for severe anorexia for many years. I finally did recover fully with weight restoration,behaviors,and mentally but it was one of the hardest things ever. There was so much anxiety and fears. Many times I thought I lost my mind but over time it did get easier.
My concern for you is you seem to have some denial of how severe your anorexia is. Regardless of what weight you have been before or how bad your behaviors were right now you are in such a dangerous medical state. I don’t feel your doctor is helping you at all. I had docs do similar and actually right before I had heart problems and ended up in the hospital I had seen my gp and because I had made progress though slow nothing was done. Your body get to a point where better is not enough and you need full nutrition and weight restoration asap. You have had anorexia for a long time and you state you fear if pushed too much with weight but when do you think you will be ready since it has been so many years? The longer you wait the more the ed will take away and you never know when health wise a complication will happen you can’t reverse.
I really enjoy the times I have read your blog and you seem like such a kind person. I hope you can start being kind to yourself and allow yourself a chance at a full life which can’t be had with anorexia.
Wow..,.thank you.
THoughts like these run through my head pretty much 24/7.
However the denial tip — I would say “NO WAY!” but I often think I am in such denial that I have no clue?
Basically regarding the severity. You have to understand (it feels funny to even write this) BUT, to me? I look normal right now. Healthy.
My weight number? My scale? They speak differently.
It is so hard to grasp and ….I have a tendency to get easily distracted in the now by glitter and sunshine.
Recently I have made what feels like great strides…but like you mentioned it is not enough. My biggest problem is thinking I can do it my own way, alone.
That I am “powerless.”
Anyways I DO so much appreciate this comment especially at a time like this…I
You have to remind yourself the facts like your bmi. You can’t do it your way because if your way worked you would not be as sick as you are. The key is within you to recover but you have to do it. Saying your powerless or that you don’t see yourself in accurate way is an excuse to hold onto the ed.
Of course the biggest issue is the severe health complications that the ed can have or even worse death. On another note though it is a huge barrier to everything else. I think you stated you work for your family? If not I can imagine it would be very hard for you to get a job because of the liability and because your appearance is ill looking. Same with even making friends or a boyfriend. People are less likely to approach you. I could go on. I hope I was not mean but I think sometimes you need to hear harsh reality to help you.
Have you thought of going inpatient? I know you said in past posts you don’t count calories but you need a specific meal plan that is high enough in calories. Any weight you say you have gained is water. Like I said I have followed your blog on and off and you look the same and as they say the proof is in the pudding and if you were making the changes you needed you would be healthier.
Again I know how hard this is because I was ill for so long and went in and out of inpatient and outpatient programs. My bmi was deadly for many years and they were surprised I was still alive. I did finally recovery outpatient and got to a healthy weight but like I said it was so hard. There were so many days of crying,no sleep,moods up and down. For me things mentally and physically felt worse before they got better but I would never go back to the ed.
I think in your heart you know you are not doing what you need to so you can recover. I hope you change that and allow yourself to have a chance at a “normal” life. You have a great spirit and a lot going for you but the ed is taking so much away.
I love your blog..all of the silliness!! I love PB&J’s..they are the essence of life. You look lovely in that photograph! YAY Christmas!
PB&Js are the essence of life.
LOVELOVELOVE
Those shoes…. hahah WHAT?! I couldn’t stop staring at them. Like really… where do you find these hilarious things?!
Pinterest. I had just finished pinning a very realistic pair of ballet flats and decided to check the site out….
I mean…those shoes are like hundreds of dollars and look well made…etcetcetc…but the split toe? Cannot be down.
An artist girlfriend of mine had a pair she got in China and I cringed whenever she wore them. But no judge, it’s just me. I cringed for me. They were like Toms…she said they were traditional work shoes. ?
Any – maybe they are comfort. I know running shoes come like that now.
They just…no. Not for me.
Neither are these
