Do you have those days? You know, the really hard ones where nothing seems to be going right and everything is a mess and you’re one, big, spectacular failure? I have them in spades.
I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness in it.
I’ve been trying not to eat my feelings, so I decided to watch a movie about pie instead of actually make–and then devour–pie. It helped, I guess. I didn’t polish off a Failure Cream Pie and a Quasi-Unemployed Rhubarb Pie…but now I am dying to try something with an oatmeal-brown sugar crust.
And I still need a hug.

I’ll come eat a brown-sugar oatmeal ANYTHING with you. It sounds delicious.
Comment by Janssen 2009 July 7 @ 11:11 amI could use some pie too. And hugs. Moving is stressful.
Comment by Sra 2009 July 7 @ 11:50 ampie makes everything better well figurative pie makes everything better literal pie makes my clothes not fit. I haven’t seen the movie but pie is my favorite food.
Comment by Sarakastic 2009 July 7 @ 12:45 pmDo it. Eat the pie for me. (I currently can’t eat anything.) You’ll feel better…
Yes, I’m naughty.
Comment by Megs 2009 July 7 @ 2:17 pmI have been crying into the idea of a cherry pie…. the cherries could cover up the taste of my tears. Come by… let’s see what we can do about that.
Comment by pinksuedeshoe 2009 July 7 @ 2:42 pmHere’s a virtual hug. Go ahead and make the pie, then just go for a long run to balance it out – both are cathartic.
Comment by Melanie 2009 July 7 @ 2:45 pmSending you tons of virtual hugs!!!
Comment by Inna 2009 July 7 @ 6:04 pmI made lemon poppy seed this weekend and ate the ENTIRE thing, so I think you should definitely make the pie. Oatmeal brown-sugar crust sounds delicious!
If you would like you could make the pie and I will eat it?
Comment by Allie 2009 July 7 @ 8:56 pmI hope from now on stuff just gets better!
Hugs! (And I still owe you an email
)
Comment by janet 2009 July 7 @ 9:09 pmI love that quote, Heidi, and I hope that someone does that for you. Since I can’t actually hug you in person I’ll send hugs your way in my thoughts and over the internet. It’s the best I can do.
As for the movie, sometimes I want to make a pie, too, just because they’re so delicious, and Waitress only increased that craving!
Comment by Caryn Caldwell 2009 July 8 @ 8:49 amHere’s a hug over the long distance……
Comment by Jen 2009 July 8 @ 2:45 pmI say make the pie and buy a new pair of shoes.
Wish I could give you a hug!
