Isn't it, You Know, Ironic?

Things that well-meaning people say when you are suffering from anxiety that somehow only make your anxiety that much worse:

"What you need is a nice long walk."

"Maybe you should just get out and socialize a little"

"Have you tried yoga?"

"Are you meditating?" 

"You probably shouldn't be drinking." 

"What about Passion Flower extract?"

"Maybe you should just focus on all the positive things in your life."

"Deep breathing"

"Deeeeeeeep breaths"

"Kava Kava?"

"I don't see why you can't just get off the couch, find a doctor, make an appointment and be done with it."

Things that probably help when you are suffering from anxiety:

         A nice long walk

         Socializing a little

         Yoga

         Meditation

         Probably not drinking

         Passion Flower extract

         Focusing on all the positive things in your life

         Deep breathing

         Kava Kava?

         Just getting off the couch, finding a doctor, making an appointment and being done with it.
         (ha, ha, ha.)


But we all know that what will really help is this:

She makes the right decisions about her man

Everything about this:

Text reads: Their heads are together. He cares for the good things of life. He’s an achiever. He’s confident. He likes his clothes smooth, sexy, comfortable– masculine.

The ‘Do Anything’ jump suit goes to party, bistro, patio or pad. 

She makes the right decisions about her man, about her looks, about her clothes.

There's more here, if you dare.

Someone had to make it.

Seven Emoticons of Downton Abbey

Have you noticed how the characters of Downton Abbey all seem to have just one representative facial expression?

It must be hard, living in that giant house, in those changing times, having to make the same face day in and day out, come war or scandal or evil bars of soap.

I thought we might all like to see what it's like to live that way, so I created some Times New Roman emoticons for your chatting and emailing pleasure.

Feel free to make your own and join in on the repetitive fun!

PS for copy/paste purposes here they are in text format. Happy emoting!

People in LA

Finally.

Nobility Dogs

Tristan, my awesome soon-to-be brother in law, just sent me this little piece of amazing. I think it's my christmas present. I'll take it, sir!

(I think the watermark is supposed to be a deterrent, but really it just adds to the majesty)

Creepy things that happen when you sleep

Um.

So this is supposed to be very dreamy-swoony but A) if I woke up and there were strings all around me and over me I would have a serious panic attack, and B) the blood-colored spider web of words at the end looks more like a death threat than some romantic marriage proposal.

But maybe that's just me?

Also? The concept is called Love injections? Really?
