Wine and Oreos? Hmmm.... I know how you feel. I did a little party here too.

I had a friend at work give me some salted caramel milk chocolates from Godiva!! They are very very addictive! She could get them at the base cheap and I couldn't find them anywhere! So we worked out a deal that she brought me the chocolates and I brought her eggs. Needless to say, I kept her in eggs last yr!! lol

Have you tried the New MM's? They have crushed pretzels inside instead of peanuts. Delicious! The mixture of sweet and salty is perfect!

Good for you! Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to be strong all the time that we don't allow ourselves to grieve when it hits us. I'm more of a wine and crackers girl but whatever works for you is fine! just trying to add a little humor to your day. I know how tough it is. You work and put on a strong face all day but when you get home the real work begins. Thank goodness for your dog Betty. I have my 2 dogs Max and Moe that have seriously been life savers to me. I lost my husband and my son and my dad last year so believe me....I understand your sadness. I'm always here if you need an ear or a shoulder to lean on.

Of course you can and must have some pity parties - just try to keep the snacks a tad healthier, you need your good health to cope with this very tough journey! I am now going to have breakfast, doughnut, cake or cereal?? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have had those little parties as well. I still have pictures all over the house of my husband Martin who I lost April 23rd this year. Did not think about the oreos. I had some shots of whiskey that night my husband was a whiskey man. Sorry about the auditor coming in. I also miss my husband. So I am here if you want to vent or I have a good strong shoulder for you to cry on.

Thanks you guys are great!
Feeling better today, I didn't over do the wine or oreos.

Thanks for being there.

Sometimes a pity party is in order--and it's ok. Enjoy your wine and oreos and probably a few tears--they are cathartic--I always like to say they wash away the dust from the memories.

Pity party - absolutely!
I was into rewarding myself for surviving days upon days of grief ~

Chocolate (pure dark chocolate) affects the neurotransmitter serotonin; known as an anti-depressant ~

While sitting on the roof wearing my tin foil hat waiting for signs I'd eat a pan of brownies or a chocolate cake (oink,oink!) ~ *wink*

Enjoy!

All pity parties should include alcohol.

Just a consideation, while alcohol does relax the body & mind, it is a depressant ~
It counters the affects of serotonin; so you may want to eat chocolate w/out drinking alcohol to get the full effect ~
Also,be aware that some chocolate candies contain liquer ~
Anyhooooo ~
Have a good pity party!

I agree with both Maggie and Dot (although I haven't tried the tin foil cap...hmmm).

We all need a good pity party now and then. I wait until my kids, mom, sister etc have called and then let it go after I have talked to everyone. Being strong is exhausting. Wine does indeed help...

Pity party?!!!!
Can I come?

I hear ya, girl!

I have had plenty of pity parties myself. I allow myself that party, and then I pick myself up by the boot strapes and get going again. There is something refreshing about having a pity party and as far as I am concerned we have earned it.
