pregnancy = hormonal = crying and hot flashes / boring post, sorry.
i very rarely cry in my non-pregnant life. crying embarrasses me (even in situations where crying is appropriate, like funerals or really sad movies...) anyway, i have pretty tight control over my emotions. being pregnant loosens that control just a little bit... i'm no blubbering idiot but i have started crying over some really, really stupid stuff things that i would absolutely not cry over during normal circumstances:
1. i cried during charlie and the chocolate factor when he found the golden ticket. i didn't remember that he found the ticket when he bought his grampa joe a chocolate bar, not when he bought one for himself. apparently i just found that to be so sweet and thoughtful i couldn't take it.
2. i cried before the holidays when petsmart was playing a radio commercial about buying your pets a gift. it was something like "get your pets great gifts for the holidays, they deserve it" and i'm sitting there all teared up thinking "yea! cica and squirrel are so nice... they DO deserve really great christmas presents! i love them so much!" ridiculous.
3. greg and i ate at the baker's crust (one of my favorite restaurants) while we were in richmond. we had a really nice waiter who did a great job serving us. apparently he impressed greg (it's rare for a waiter to impress greg) so he tipped him $10 on a $30 bill. i totally start crying thinking about how i have the best, most generous, most loving husband ever and about how i am so lucky. greg was embarrassed.
4. yesterday at work i started reading "new moon". i was going to wait until today (my day off) so i wouldn't make a fool of myself (girls at work told me it is kind of intense and made them cry). but i had a cancellation and someone had it sitting in the back so i HAD to at least take a peek... i'm only in chapter two and i lose it because i learn that edward had green eyes when he was still a human... wtf? i have no idea why that affected me at all. anyway my face got all hot and i had to close the book. i gathered myself after about 15 minutes and started reading again. then i start crying again even worse, like i almost completely lose it, because edward made bella a cd of the song he wrote for her on piano. maybe something else too, i don't know because i had to slam the book shut and get it away from me before i completely ruined my makeup, and i had to stick my head in the freezer so i could settle down. what the hell?! seriously! luckily i work with mostly women, a lot of whom are way more emotional than i am, and they understand. still embarrassing though.
i have noticed a trend: i cry at things that make me really happy? but.. i guess a few tears are better than turning into a raging bitch for no reason.
the end <3
