ZAPPED! A Well Needed Zap!

Let me preface this post by saying today was a stinker. As some of you know, I'm in the midst of writing my thesis (food-as-temptation in Alice in Wonderland, Narnia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Coraline--a big undertaking), and I have a deadline coming up Friday. Aside from that, everyone I encountered was harsh today, including my students and fellow classmates. It was awful. The day ended in a rant to Merlin about no one caring about me (just in general. It was very dramatic and uncalled for, I'm sure). It was just one of those days.

When I checked my mail and found a package waiting for me, I thought it must be a random pin or so that I ordered. Not so!

I had been zapped!







I LOVE Ursula, so the card and Ursula pin made me literally giddy. I also love the flamingo dancer--what an odd, beautiful pin! When I opened the card, my stress immediately melted away.

This really made my not so great day fantastic!

Patti, you made me feel so special and included today, and I thank you! Your card fit me just right, and I love the pins. This was just what I needed!

Congratulations on your first zap!

P.S. Your thesis sounds really interesting.

I'm so happy for you! You did indeed deserve and need this! <3

So wonderful and so happy for you that it came just at the right time!! Congrats and way to go Patti! :hsd:

Congrats on the zap!

Congrats on your zap and good luck on your thesis.

Congrats!!!!

Congrats!!

Congratulations! I can imagine that was a big help. I'm at uni and have a big project deadline this Friday that I need to do well in, couple that with family drama and I'm one stressed out bunny myself.
Good luck writing your thesis, and with your deadlines. If you ever get too stressed just look at the pins and the card again, or come on here and I'll happily listen to you rant

Congrats to you!

Nice zap, congrats!

Awesome! Congrats

Thank you! I definitely have the card hanging up on my pin board and will look at it and remember how happy I was when I'm feeling stressed with school. It's funny how such a little thing as pin collecting--a nice hobby--can be so comforting at times. Good luck on your deadline, also!

I like to think so! Hahaha! Hopefully it will be something worthy of the great texts I'm writing on.

And thanks to everyone for the congratulations. It made me feel extraspecial and brightened up my day!

What a truly fascinating thesis paper, I'd be very interested in reading it.
