I wasn’t going to write tonight, but I got the urge. Maybe it’s my need to connect so I can purge the ONE-HORROR-SHOW-AFTER-ANOTHER…. Or, maybe it’s just that I’m missing my Gorgeouses. AWWWWW! Love! Or, maybe I’m just trying to escape DEXTER, which is WAY too violent for me. WAY! And, which is what Josh-O and the future bro-in-law are watching right now. I’m SORT OF watching it. I got one eye on this computer screen and one on the TV — cautious, very cautious.
These shows are NOT good for the anxiety level — says the girl who went INSANE over a hole in a NUT once upon a time and WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
Anyway, here we are. It’s definitely different than as it was in the summer. It’s grey, and the clouds are heavy. But, the Fall leaves are gorj as you’d expect. Hay bales emerge out of misty acres of sienna fields…. Loverly.
‘Cept for the dead frogs.
I’ve seen numerous dead frogs on the road I’ve been walking back and forth and back and forth on to get some good exercise. I always see them — flat as a pancake, a frog-shaped pancake — JUST as I’m about to step on them, and I FLY, like, 2 feet in the air. I have to jump so high so I can CATCH MY HEART, which I feel like I’ve vomited out of my mouth. Too. Many. HORROR. Shows. NOT good.

Okay. Now, I gotta go because Dexter has officially sucked my sorry anxious arse in. Oh well.
Have a great day! And, say a prayer for me that I do NOT overeat tonight and tomorrow night. It’s the Jewish New Year — in other words MAYJAH EATING FESTS. Besides, isolated as we are in the country, food (and horror shows — True Blood, anyone? LOVE IT…Buffy fan that I am, but OMIGOD it’s RAW) are a MAYJAH source of entertainment. Although, I did go on TWO hour-long walks up and down the DEAD FROG road today. HOLLAAAAAHHHH!

Happy New Year Haley .. enjoy your siesta away from the big city…
Years ago, when I drove to the stable everyday .. we would call this certain road ‘Suicide Alley’ and it was because of the frogs .. hundreds .. that were hopping across .. and many many .. got squashed. And I recall that it was this time of year .. not sure why .. but they were everywhere .. nightmarish really!@

I dunno Dexter is pretty good, and even better if you watch it right from Season 1. And after a while you start to love the man because seriously, every city needs a serial killer who only kicks other killers asses (since the Police seem to suck, here anyways).
Enjoy your time in the country!

Happy New Year!
And squished frogs are never good. I could never get into Dexter, too gory. I’m still undecided on 90210, but will probably watch (tape) because I have nothing else to watch.

Yuck to the dead frogs… I can’t believe people eat those things…
Happy New Year (I didn’t know about Jewish New Year!!) and have fun while not going crazy with the food (I know, easier said than done!)

Hey Haley, Last night I couldn’t stop thinking about your post about your pregnancy OCD/Anxiety. I started reading your blog after you had Rascal (pretty much the day after, so it is my 1 year bloggy visitor anniversary!) I wanted to tell you how happy I am that you came through such a terrible experience whole, and as you say, better for it. I have a neighbour who I am convinced went through similar issues (after reading your story the lights went on for me. It just connected the dots) and she struggles, a lot. It is hard to watch. But thanks to your story I will try and be more sympathetic to her (and less judgmental of her wacky behaviour)
