I’m not sure if this is a stressfully serious list…or filled with humor!!
But as far as I’m concerned that pizza will bring on comfort…it’s the cheese for me! roflmao
My T T is up.

gotta love the m&m’s. I’m so bummed that they didn’t make the mint ones this year….
Say, in relation to your top reads – I read “She’s All That” because Geekwif read it because of you! I loved it! Of course, I’m a chick-lit, romance novel fan anyway, whereas it was a first for Geekwif.
Loved it! I went back to the library to get some more Billerbeck. I got “What a Girl Wants”. It’s pretty good, too, though not quite as good as “She’s All That”. The problem is, I read fast – really fast – and I’m done with the first Ashley Stockingdale book and I want to read number 2- but it’s on hold at the library! Waahh. So is the 2nd the in the Spa Girl’s series. Now I have to wait. Oh, I hate waiting for a book I want to read!
Have a lovely day.

Retail therapy is the best kind of therapy! I’m glad something worked.

I KNOW! I can so identify with your list. Going to talk with my doc about anxiety levels next week, grrr….
My T13 is up, too!

I’m sorry all that chocolate didn’t help the stress! Maybe you neede just a little bit more?
All of those thing used to make me feel better, but now it makes me feel worse! Isn’t it terrible how when you’re young not much is expected from you, but when you get older that even your body demands that you be responsible? I hate growing up! Pizza used to be the best! Now it makes me sick! BUT I still like skipping church! Ha! 
Oh! By the way, when I get obsessed over my Mommyhood skills, I go play with my kids and quit trying soo hard and it all comes natural! Okay, It’s not always that way, but when I DO look up from what I’m stressing out on and remember to be human, that’s what I do! No such thing as perfect. I repeat that a lot to myself, especially when scarfing the chocolate while I skip church…..J.K.

Just so’s you know, no one really handles stress all that well, so don’t beat yourself up about THAT one!
9:34 am
So I’m not the only one who obsesses about how I’m screwing up? Phew! Eat more chocolate, I’m sure it will help eventually…..
10:10 am
Sorry chocolate didn’t do the trick. It really should have. I’m like Heth – eat more. It will help sooner or later — and at least it tastes goooood! Hope things are better soon.
10:12 am
Oh, S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G makes me feel sooooo much better. I love shopping.
But, then, I stress about the money I just spent.
Never mind.
10:33 am
It’s always good to know what does work!
You need a little Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” in your life, too.
I’ll pray that God will alleviate some of that stress immediately!
My TT is up too.
10:36 am
You mean chocolate and pizza don’t help with stress? Hmm. that explains a lot!

Now, are these things that didn’t help with stress LATER? It seems to me that while you were actually eating wonderful things like pizza and chocolate you would actually feel great. It would be later, when you realized what you had done, that you might panic.
But what do I know? I’m a guy. We’re clueless about a lot of this stuff.
11:48 am
Kelsey, since the prayer is something that always helps, I’ll give you more of that. I’ll be praying for comfort and guidance for you at this time.
Big hugs to you.
12:52 pm
Comfort food while stressed.
I do it too.
My chocolate of choice is See’s though.
Hope you get over the stress soon!
Happy Thursday!
Mine are up.

The chocolate didn’t help? That is definitely sad! But I’m glad you found something that did.

The words “Be anxious for nothing” are so easy when you read them in the Bible. Living them is another story. I’m trying to learn that lesson myself! Hope you destress soon!
3:03 pm
answer your well intended calls…this can help alot….
4:08 pm
Are you sure a pound of M&M’s doesn’t help stress? Darn I was all set to try!! My TT is up.
7:49 pm
She can be taught! Pray without ceasing. And lots of vitamin C.

Chocolate always does it for me…that and a good book!
