Today? In the course of our talking, it comes up that I am a bit PMS-y right now. (not to be confused with Manstruating, like Meeko.) What does my therapist say? (keep in mind, I like her, just like I like putting things in parenthesis.)
Oh, PMS. How does that make you feel?
Well, um, here was my response in my head
You kidding me? How does that make me feel!?
Like I have bad cramps.
Like half the world needs to quit being idiots.
Like I need a hot bath and nap, but know I am going to spend the evening doing dishes and laundry.
Like there is not enough Midol in the world to ease my temperament when I get 58% return rates on homework before a test.
Like I need SALT. Right now? I'd salt my salt. That's right. and then salt it some more. Throw me a salt lick here.
There it is, how I feel right now. However, being the lovely person I am, I just responded, "Oh, I handle it quite well. I am not the moody type...*"
(*you know I am kidding right?!) I am off to go get something. Salty.

Now, I am too!
Salt and Chocolate!
And how about some butter to go with that salt? And maybe some chocolate.
Manstruating, heh!
I don't know if I understood a word you just said and I think that is okay with me.
You crack me up, Sara. And just for the record, I love putting things in parentheses, too.
I'll take the salt, if it's on pretzels and covered with chocolate. :) I NEED me some chocolate. :)
That's pretty funny- the number one most stereotypical utterance that could come out of a therapist's mouth, and over the topic of PMS no less. You handled it very impressively! I would have given her a big fat hairy-eyeballed side eye and said nothing :D
I pretty much always think half the world needs to get a clue. No PMS required.
And what's my excuse? My Mirena IUD takes care of all that womanly stuff so I don't have to deal with it but I still feel that way pretty much A.L.L. the time. :)
and ICE CREAM!!!!!
"Like I need SALT. Right now? I'd salt my salt. That's right. and then salt it some more."
LAUGHING OUT LOUD!
But I hate when I have a salt marathon and then I can't squeeze my bloated/swollen toes into my Birks t he next morning.
Love ya! So proud of you too!
LOL!! too funny! except i like sweets. i am happy to be able to blame the baby though!!
LOL, I love your parenthesis! Cramps are no fun, and you definetly deserve that hot bath! when I crave salty I usually go for salted nuts. I crave sweet more, like chais and hot chocolates, yum.
I know how you feel, friend. I might actually be able to kill stupid people during PMS. I snap at people and yell more and it's just horrible. Not much for salt though, I could eat my weight in chocolate. Daily.
This post had me laughing - it is chocolate and ice cream for me!
You crack me up! Thanks for being so courageous in sharing about your E.D. You encourage me! Know that although we all have different struggles that you have people who care about you that you haven't even met! Have a wonderful weekend. Count down to the end of school has started here, hoping you get out soon too!
I second the chocolate covered pretzels!! Although sometimes I go with M&Ms mixed in with popcorn. Chocolate, salt AND butter. For dinner. (See, someday you'll be as recovered as me. No, wait, I'm a bad example. But I also like parenthesis.) (And half the world IS idiots. PMS is not a factor in your feeling that way.)
You are not salty, you're sweet!
*smiles*

I had to laugh at CheeseBoy's comment.
You know how sometimes when women live together or work together everyday, their cycles tend to be very close together? I'm noticing the same thing in blogland. Isn't that weird?!
And having been in therapy for over a decade myself... that sounds like something a counselor would ask you. Did she?
That hot bath thing! I was tired/irrational enough last week at 2:30 am that I nearly woke up to take one hoping it would help! And the snacking?! Does the need ever stop? Maybe we should all have to answer how it makes us feel:)
Buah ha ha! Nice to know I'm not alone while I'm manstruating! ;) Now I want something with peanut butter in it . . .
PMS-How does that make you feel? Really? That's a question? C'mon, it's blinkin' PMS!
Fortunately I wasn't asked that question, 'cause I'd probably throw something at the poor therapist. Of course, I'd blame PMS...and tell the therapist he/she should have expected it. :-)
"I'd salt my salt, lol." You are so funny! Posts like this remind me why I skip my period every month! :)
That was a real question? Goodness! I salt my salt too :)
The power of suggestion is strong. Some potato chips are calling my name...
salt + chocolate = heaven
I hopped on the PMS train yesterday. And yest to all of the above. Poor hubs.
let me know how the salt "makes you feel" hehe
You totally crack me up! I hate the "how does that make you feel question" even though as a pastoral counselor I am trained to use it :)
um, did you read my mind this week!
You handled that well, up until the salt part. LOL
Oh me too...Id take salt over anything sweet most times...but I would never admit to my PMS issues..and beware any body who would try to suggest such a thing..!!!you handled it very well..Bwhahahah..!
dude...i salt my cookies when i'm pms-ing.
wtc?
btw, ur adorable...totally HOT!
Dark chocolate...preferably Godiva...with a sprinkling of salt. Perfection.
Salt also tastes good sprinkled on sweet watermelon.
Clearly I'm having PMS problems myself. Every comment I wrote seemed trite. I thought about it all night. So... I'm off to have my chocolate covered bacon. Clearly you're handling it better than I am.
MMMMMMMMMMMM SAAAAALT *droool*
I feel very much like I imagine Homer Simpson to feel when ever he says DOOOOONUT or BBBEEEERRR when it comes to my salty PMS cravings. I am all about salt, then. I do not particularly care for sweets. Ever. I like to make them but not eat them. I have contemplated buying one of those little salt rocks just BECAUSE before.
haha, that is hilarious!!! I so know what you mean :)
I'm coming here from Jenn's blog (your giveaway winner). I just thought I'd pop over here and see what you're all about, and I like what I see :) Just became a follower!
Great, now i need popcorn, extra butter with a bag of M&M's on the side:)
Mmmmmm...Salt!!! I'm thinking a bag of chips sounds lovely right about now!
You're too cute! You always are a great blog to visit when I need a laugh. Thanks for that :) Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!
