Well, actually, it was my therapist who said I’d have to deal with this but it sounds better coming from mom.
So, yeah, I’m in a funk. 
It happens. It’s part of who I am. But, it SUCKS.
So, there you have it. Why I’ve been quiet.
Of course, I’m sensitive to every little comment people make. Yesterday a friend called to see if I wanted to go to the movies. It was great, loved it (although the movie made me cry). Before I left my dad called so we talked for a bit and he asked what I was doing. I said going to the movies with a friend. He asked if it was a guy friend or a girl friend. I replied a female friend. He disappointed “oh” left me in a funk for a while.
I mentioned the Taco Popcorn that I made before. Well, I am completely 100% OBSESSED with this popcorn (I had it for breakfast this morning). I could survive solely on Taco Popcorn right now (in fact, I’m making some more as soon as I hit publish on this post).
WARNING THE RECIPE BELOW IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE — DON’T SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED
Crack Taco Popcorn
Pop popcorn on the stove (don’t try this with micropopcorn — I can’t imagine it would be good) in a very small amount of oil
Melt Butter (I use a yogurt spread which is lighter) on the stove with taco seasoning and some seasoned salt (you’ll have to adjust the amount according to how salty/spicy you like
Pour the butter over the popcorn and toss well.
If you really want to kick it up a notch finely shred a little extra sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
I eyeball the measurements based on how many calories I need. 
But go easy on the butter (but don’t skip it).
Seriously, I had dreams about this popcorn and have found myself sitting at my desk dreaming about it.
Here’s my points totals for the GAG challenge. Of course, I’m comparing myself to other people and some of these other competitors are knocking it out of this galaxy. I honestly don’t know how they are drinking as much as they are every single day.
| T | W | Th | F | S | S | M | Total | |

I’ll have to try that Taco Popcorn. Sounds delicious! We’re all entitled to “funks” every now and again. I was in one for about the last month and recently got out of it. I’m sure I’ll be back in one soon.
You’re doing great! I know it’s hard to no compare yourself to others, but just realize you’re doing your best. Keep up the great work!

Oh, the “You’re hanging out with a girl” comment funk. I get that. I remember those days all too well.
Anyhow, I’ve enjoyed reading your blog, but we might have to break up. I mean, seriously, Taco Popcorn? HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE??? We are big time popcorn lovers here, and ONLY the popped on the stove kind. Now I have to tell my husband about taco popcorn, and it’s all I’m going to think about until I get him to make me some (he pops way better popcorn than me).
So thanks alot for the new obsession. Hmph.
