Amy, does your complex Haagen a dumpster? Slamming dishes in there would feel great.

We are on the road!!! Vacation here we come. CJ is driving and I'm playing with Waze. If we drive straight through, we will hit the hotel at 5:30 am but can't check in until 4pm. I think I miscalculated.

Bubbles are not unheard of in chickpeas. Did the can look normal?

I get angry. And I'm a yeller. But I'm pretty slow to anger for the most part.

At school, I never really raise my voice, but they all fear me nevertheless. I will be cutting and insulting for sure over yelling.

At home, I'll get angry and I will apologize for expressing how I am angry. Noah gets slow burning smoldery angry and Grace gets resistant angry.

But I have gotten much better at saying things hurt my feelings with my family which supplants being angry and explains why I am reacting that way.

Thanks, Ginger. The can looked fine, and M concurs that bubbles aren't uncommon in chickpeas, so I think it's OK.

I have a bad temper. For many years I was very good at keeping a lid on it, but for the last couple years I've become pretty tetchy for whatever reason. I guess take your pick: over tired, over stressed, maybe just less able to multitask with more demands requiring it of me. And I'm a yeller too, although I can hold it in when my reserves are higher. And I feel horribly guilty when I do yell, plus it models such terrible behavior for the kids, so when I can repress the yelling, I do.

I'm great at being angry on behalf of other people. I am happy to let forth my righteous fury and Get Shit Done Right. Not always for myself though.

I get pissy but rarely angry.

Every turkey I've prepared got named Fred and I made it dance.

I'm not a very angry person. When I do go there, it's very very cold. I can usually identify the sources of the emotion in me, and react accordingly. I guess I'm good at using my words? In any case, I'm generally conflict avoidant, and am either going to sift to the source of the issue (and defuse, if it is from someone else) or remove myself from the situation, if I give a shit. Sometimes, I don't give a shit. I don't like being around mean aimed to hurt. That, I can't abide and it will not be forgotten.

I should amend: mean TO. I'm good about being mean ABOUT...

I am completely earwormed with "Copacabana" now. Thanks, Erin.

(Although it's better than the McDonald's Filet O Fish commercial that's been stuck in my head for weeks now.)
