When I was seeing my therapist, Ken, for anxiety, I was forced to do a lot of introspection. I guess that’s what therapists make you do, look all inside yourself and shiz. During one of my sessions, I was explaining to him how frustrating it was that I had panic attacks due to my food…
Too many cookies can cause diarrhea. It’s all about moderation. Crying for what you want gets you nowhere. Okay sometimes it gets you what you want, but if you do it too much it’s just annoying. Cuddling makes everything better. You don’t have to be the best at everything or be the one in control.…
There is something wrong with our sweet new puppy, Henry. We discovered it last week when we took him to the vet, and it was both startling and confusing. All was going well until the doctor checked Henry’s reproductive organs. With a semi-concerned look he said, “I can’t find his testicles.” I can only imagine…
I keep telling my friends and family, it’s a good thing my dog child isn’t a real child, because I would totally be exploiting him in his young age. I just want everyone possible to see his sweet, baby face. I am one proud mama and can’t help but show him off. I emailed the…
On Friday, Isaac and I adopted (can you still call it adopting if you spent crap-loads of money at a breeder?) a puppy! We have been wanting a dog for a long time, but timing and my allergies just haven’t allowed it. After tying the knot, we figured it was time to add another member…
It’s only been a few months, but I’ve learned a few things about marriage here and there. Some are silly, some are sweet, some are downright ridiculous, but I’ve come to learn that all the little things are what make up a marriage. So what is it to me so far? Marriage Is: Not getting…
One of the benefits of having a mother-in-law who is a licensed counselor is having free, expert advice at my disposal anytime. I try to not abuse it, in fact maybe she wishes I’d go to her for advice more, but when I do get her input on something I really cherish her words and…
Hi Ya’ll! Due to some personal reasons (nothing bad, no worries), I’m going to have to make The Other Courtney private and unviewable to the general public here in the next few days. At this point, I’m not sure how long this stealth mode is going to last, could be 3 weeks could be 2…
Dear Mom, There was a photo taken at my wedding a few months ago (remember that big, insanely expensive party?) that I think sums up the kind of mom you are. It was a candid photo, I don’t think either of us knew the photographer was snapping away. I was getting my hair done and…
I bet the title of this post made you think WTF? It’s fitting, as my sleep walking and talking lately has also made me think WTF? Two nights ago, I passed out on the couch while Isaac and I were watching The Daily Show. Not sure how I could fall asleep while one of the…
