I had a week like that. Unfortunately, I was at a conference and couldn’t hide the tears very easily.

Its nice/re-refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who has to hit the mute button at a sappy Visa commercial. Thank You for sharing that "pumpkin in my throat" sensation. Seems women don't have a monopoly on the feeling here but you sure are better at describing it.

PS--You've really got a great friend there in whurlygurly (among others I see).

Poor Fishy! I hate to tell ya hon, but hormones are the typical tenderizer for many a chica. During tendertimes I have in the past been reduced to a puddle (always in private if at all possible) when I heard a sappy love song… or any other non-reason. Gets worse in the mid to late thirties… but improves some in the mid to late fourties! When I was in my twenties, I thought all that talk about “raging hormones” was something made up by people in the pharma biz…. but then it happened to me!!! ACK! Being the scientist, I studied my own pattern…and it was totally in sync with the cycle. Sigh. The truth really bothered me. I thought I was immune. But knowledge is power… once you can predict you can warn those you care about.

Here’s a big cyber grrrl hug for you.

here for you, even thoughthe blogosphere is kinda trivial. I've had those crying at CNN moments oh-to-often lately. It when I start bawling at toilet paper commercials that I hit the arapax.

Chin up Fishy (and buy take out, then someone else can chop the damn potatoes).
