You Know That Episode of Seinfield...

How many conversations have I begun with a Seinfeld reference? Too many to count.
But anyway: you know that one where Jerry starts showing his emotions and he starts crying and confessing love and all that? He just can't help himself.
That's me now. I've definitely gone through times in my life when I was a cryer, but in the past few years, I've been a non-cryer. I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess finally falling in love has done weird things to my emotions. I think I've cried more in the last month than I have in 3 or 4 years. Seriously: I'm very sensitive.
I don't like to cry, which makes it even worse, because then I get frustrated with myself for crying and it makes me cry more.
Example:
Sunday, as I was sitting in church, Sophie came and snuggled up next to me and yada, yada, yada...I started crying because I was thinking about moving to California and not being around my nieces & nephews any more. Of course moving to California is both happy and sad for me, because starting this new chapter in my life means leaving a lot of wonderful things behind. The trade off is clearly worth it, but that doesn't mean I'm not sad about living so far away from my dear friends and family.
Okay, so then today: I had a pretty stressful day at work today (which is not entirely unusual), and I had to excuse myself for a few minutes because I just couldn't hold myself together. I hate that! I don't cry at work!! I've got some upheaval happening at work right now and it's adding to my stress. More on that later.
My boss asked me today if I was okay - she said she could tell something was bothering me - so I told her about a few things and then said that "The Wedding Dress Diet" wasn't helping things. She replied: "What's the Wedding Dress Diet? Starving and exercising?"
Exactly. The only diet plan known to work.

Until this last month, I don't think I had shed a tear since this time last year (my, my: how times have changed for the better!). I've been thinking a good cry would be cathartic, but this is getting out of hand.
