I'm really controlling too... but like others have said, recognizing it is half the battle. Now you just need to learn to control your controlling nature ;-)

2012-02-22T01:19:15.045+11:00

I've seen those mugs before and they are so pretty. ALSO, I don't think there is anyway to escape the phallic aspect of popsicles. It's oblong and goes in your mouth, y'know?

I think we all get a big controlling sometimes. I ...

2012-02-21T20:45:40.036+11:00

I think we all get a big controlling sometimes. I think it's human nature. Especially if you like things a certain way. Sometimes I rather just do something myself instead of delegating it to others.

At least you know you are doing it and apologising...

2012-02-21T18:44:16.194+11:00

At least you know you are doing it and apologising to your partner. I think thats a good start, chin up lovely.

2012-02-21T18:36:06.354+11:00

Awwwwwwww, poor Deidre. And poor IC. Maybe work on that puppy/lion cub thing so that when you inadvertently snap, he can go "LOOK, PUPPY AND/OR LION CUB!!" and all will be right with the world! ;)

And in the meantime, order takeaway and save you both the trouble?

I hope you are able to be as gracious with yourself as Inspector Climate, and keep in mind you aren't going to be able to act completely rationally all the time as your body heals.

2012-02-21T13:54:07.994+11:00

My own resolution this year was Let It Be and so I feel ya sister, it's so much easier said than done. Try and give yourself a break if you can...even if that break is just not beating yourself up for when you haven't been able to let it be!

Thinking of you lots during this recovery period for you...

2012-02-21T11:00:56.557+11:00

i'm sure he completely understands what's going on and sounds like he's being super patient about it.
you'll be back to your old self soon, meanwhile don't beat yourself up too much!

I hope you feel better soon! I am sure that IC kno...

2012-02-21T08:58:26.595+11:00

I hope you feel better soon! I am sure that IC knows that you are in pain and doesn't hold it against you. I am a bit of a control freak too so I know it can be hard to let go, but know he would be lost without you and I am sure he appreciates your know how in the kitchen.
*Hugs!!*

2012-02-21T07:00:05.668+11:00

I definitely have control issues I need to relinquish. One bad out of the many great qualities I inherited from my mother. Poor Boyfriend :-( (mine, not yours!)

Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. You...

2012-02-21T04:39:34.200+11:00

Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. You're doing the best you can with the circumstance you're in. You won't be in recovery for ever. The important thing is that you catch yourself after and soon you'll be in tune enough that you'll catch yourself before. The inspector loves you and forgives you so love yourself and forgive you too. You're doing great!

2012-02-21T03:31:10.356+11:00

I know I'm a week late, but I'm so glad things went smoothly and IC was there to take care of you <3 I've only been under twice, and the first time I was only 7 -- freaky! Glad you're back to regular size undies now O:-)

Jorge is a bitch. You are not. Wishing a speedy emotional and physical recovery!

Aww, I know exactly what you´re talking about! I need to work on my control issues as well!

2012-02-21T00:48:03.905+11:00

There will always be anger in the kitchen. I believe. I see how my parents spat about it. I see how someone was about Valentines dinner because it was 'special'. And he wanted it a certain way.

He swears I've tried to kill him with cornbread.

Its a territory that takes a long while of give and take, even if its over Miracle Whip or mayo in the tuna to who's turn to clean up the mess.

But I'm sure Jorge is making it quite intense on you these days.

This was a fun post! I hope you are getting better.

2012-02-20T22:44:07.479+11:00

Hi! I agree with Prixie about the important thing .. You have recognized and apologized. I used to be the same regarding the kitchen but now I just let him do what he does in there because he cooks really tasty things! Yes, they are different than what I do and often I am 'invited' in to do the seasoning, but all in all, it has worked out .. And I have much less guilt to contend with. Now, a lion cub would be a really nice addition too!

2012-02-20T21:34:39.610+11:00

Aww. Inspector Climate is understanding, isn't he. He's definitely a keeper! All he needs is that puppy/lion cub at his feet and he will be near perfect.

Perhaps your separation from Jorge has resulted in some kind of stirring up of your emotions?

I'm a bit of a control freak too. I like things done my way - well I am getting out of that habit now (kind of, trying to). But I am lucky in one regard - D is a much better cook than me. And he loves cooking.

There is someone who realises that all of these things are connected - a naturopath! I love them.

My weekend was good - it was Sustainable Living Festival weekend! I don't suppose you got a chance to go down there (feeling a bit gross to make the trip, perhaps)?

Aw... I know this feeling all too well. The impo...

2012-02-20T18:40:25.281+11:00

Aw... I know this feeling all too well.

The important thing is you do know what you are doing, and that is half the battle won. :)

Stay strong and positive. All will be well.

2012-02-19T11:26:55.955+11:00

Ruby - They're so much fun :)

Poptartyogini - Yes, that is definitely an issue, Inner Waves has great shorts too! Good to know about the crock pot :)

E - It's SOOO yummy. I think smoothies make even more excellent popsicles than they do smoothies :)

Lisa - Thank you for following, I intend to become a frequent visitor of your blog too :)

Preppy Pink Crocodile - They're just delicious :) and so much fun!

Teacher girl - they're awesome! And pretty reasonably priced considering they're organic cotton!

Twenty Four at Heart - HAH! I know it kind of surprised me too.

Ellie - I can't recommend making your own popsicles enough :)

Jane - YES!

The Zadge - HAHAHA, yes being mature is always a challenge. Yes! They're an american brand but fairly small.

Ivana - YAY! Thanks for following! I'll be visiting you shortly :)

Gracie - hmmm, I thought ice cubes were ice blocks and popscicles were icy poles!

Nina - They're so yum!

Crystal - I'm a big lover of Anthro too! They have all kinds of fun designs I'm sure that Some variety exists in the alps!

Amanda - Please check out inner waves! They're an awesome little company with good morals.

Erika - Yes! Kids adore them. They come in stars and other fun shapes too.

Rose - Yes! leggings are a dangerous thing for yogis/pilates people.

Happy Jen - Thank you! I'm getting stronger all the time. It's impossible to NOT love home made pops.

The alternative wife - Thanks! They're sooo much fun and so yummy. Win-win

Krysten - They're so delicious! And become such a cheap healthy snack. An excellent investment.

Kimbirdy - You can't get them non-monogrammed? My aunt got us our first name initials on ours.

Vanisha - I could spend all my money in there too - it's a danger!

Titleless Blog - I like lululemon too - but find they're yoga stuff realllly expensive. Inner waves is great - and organic cotton!

2012-02-19T06:09:08.170+11:00

We got wedding presents which I wasn't expecting because we kept the date secret until the end! It was nice.

I'm, personally, a fan of Lululemon. But now there is that controversy with them, so I need to find a new brand :/

2012-02-18T20:23:46.468+11:00

Those yoga pants sound super comfortable and they do look great. And yay for Anthro mugs, I would spend all my money at that store!

2012-02-18T07:15:21.864+11:00

oh i love those anthro mugs!! i really wanted one for christmas, but i got so overwhelmed by the letters on them {what letter should i choose? what should it stand for? but wait, i hate all the colors of the mugs with letters i like! but if i get a color i like, what in the world will i do about the LETTER?!}, that i eventually gave up on them. moral of the story: monograms are useless components of life created to induce panic attacks.

Oh my gosh, I want one of those popsicles!
