THINGS GUARANTEED TO MAKE ME SHED SOME TEARS
-Watching or thinking about the movie "Beaches", or listening to "Wind Beneath My Wings"
-Any situation in which I am unable to eat some type of food I was excited about (This happened once when I was still living at my parents' house. My Mom cooked the most delicious chicken, and I couldn't wait to eat leftovers the next day...Until I opened up the fridge to see that the last piece of chicken was gone. My sister had eaten it. I couldn't hold back the tears. Seriously, I cried!! I've never cried about chicken since, I don't even like it that much. Must have been some good chicken, GO MOM! I also once came close to tears when the local salad bar was out of my favorite candied walnuts. I'm telling you, that salad was NOTHING without the walnuts! NOTHING I tell ya! Oh, and if a restaurant is out of my favorite dish, I'm most likely going to cry! I'm sure I was dreaming about that dish all week, and I can't handle the disappointment)
-"Terms of Endearment"
-Pretty much every episode of Oprah
-Chopping an onion (love my BFF Lilly's approach: wear goggles!)
-Computer/iPhone trouble
-"Angel" by Sarah Mclachlan
-Boys
-Any trip to Kinko's (especially back in my college days during some high pressured design project..."Sorry, we bound your book upside down and inside out and spilled coffee all over it, oh and your font won't load and doesn't even exist (cue Twilight Zone music))..."

Don't forget you used to cry when you were little and you had a cold and had to use a tissue to blow your nose. And also you used to cry when mom would make salmon for dinner. Boy, you WERE a cry baby!! xx
ReplyDeleteoh my god, i can't believe i forgot the salmon one! that is the best!!! i also forgot that i used to cry when mom would ask me to go into the basement to get potatoes (or anything else) for her! I was so lazy! HAHAHA thanks for reminding me!!!! xo
ReplyDeleteI mirror you in all of the above and your last font comment literally made me honk laugh out loud.
ReplyDeletehahaha!! glad you could relate, Emi! I think what we need here is some Veselka Borscht to cheer us up about it all :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I didn't know Lilly does the goggles thing, I do that too! I knew there was a really good reason why we were all friends! HAHA!
ReplyDeletehaha!! i actually don't do the goggle thing, but i think we're all friends because we're all awesome :)
ReplyDeleteyou've put me off kinkos for life and getting potatoes? hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYAY! if i can spare even just ONE person from kinko's torment, my work here is done! and yes, i cried over potatoes! ridiculous!
