Is it normal...

...to crave Starbucks on a daily basis, even though I can only have decaf, AND even though I don't always love the way it tastes?
...to have sinus pressure that is so strong, it hurts to blink?
...to be over Target?
...to not be attracted to six packs (of muscles, not beer)?
...that I wanted scotch instead of sangria at dinner the other night?
...that I think it's awkward to be chatty/friendly with friends' boyfriends?
...to be in a room full of people and feel invisible?
...that some days I count my calories?
...that sometimes I believe that it's all happening, and other times I'm convinced that this is it?
...to question whether I'm lovable in the romantic sense?

...or is it just me?

it is all normal... except that sinus pressure is something you don't have to put up with.. get nasaline. and visit the doctor. my sinuses are bad this month too xo

AKM said...

All of those things are normal. That being said, being TOO normal is boring. ;-) You, of course, are not that. (Boring, that is.)

I fight sinus trouble, too. Cutting back on dairy and Allegra-D work for me. I know some people swear by neti pots, but they creep me out so I've never tried one. Good luck!

I totally agree... very normal. I think so many people feel the same way, but some never really voice it out loud. Is it me or is Starbucks coffee really bitter tasting?

Meghan said...

Its more than normal...its being human! And trust me, scotch will warm you up much better in these dreary winter months than sangria!

You're over Target?!?

I count my calories, too.

And I also really enjoy your lists. :)

Absolutely normal to all of it...except for being invisible. You're too fabulous, and you always stand out! XOXO :)

Normal.

However I am one of those girls that's super chatty with friends' boyfriends, and even though I mean no harm... I always feel incredibly awkward.

Starbucks used to lure me in daily, but thankfully my office moved from being a storefront away from Starbucks to a 10 minutes walk away. It was such a habit and most of the time I can only finish part of my drink!

YES! YOU ARE completely normal. But go to the doc about the sinuses. {that's the mom in me, you know} :-) xoxo

First time commenter here! I have to say, I love this list and agree with so many of your thoughts. Especially a city girl needing something a little stronger than sangria sometimes and the being close to a girlfriends boyfriend. Especially that one-it's hard to feel close without feeling guilty that some day he might be out of the picture, or you might some how end up offending your pal.

I love your blog. From one young city girl to another-it's too tiring to try to be ordinary!

this post reminded me of PostSecret - how all of us have these weird habits or thoughts and think we're alone, but when we finally open up to other people, we share so much more than we ever expected! :)
