Dear Monday v.25

Linking up with Megan for another round of
Dear Monday, Here's hoping you start off a better week than last. I have faith!

Dear Brian (Office/Lab Mate), Thank you for your kind words, support, and endless supply of Nerds. This definitely beats having an office by myself.


Dear Dissertation gods, Please help my prospectus magically contain a section on an experimental manipulation. Thanks.

Dear Twitter friends, real life friends, and blog friends (especially Bethany, Bri, Alyssa, Kelsie, and Jena), I cannot express how much love I felt over the weekend from your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and hugs. My blog got a ridiculous number of hits from the post yesterday, which means that you all care so much for me. Thank you. After a brief mourning period (slash pity party where I consumed an absurd amount of mulsum wine), I'm under the realization that circumstances prevented him from loving, not me being unlovable. I'm oddly at peace with his decision (I'm sure I'll go through sine waves of acceptance vs. hurt), and I think he knows that I will be here if he ever needs my support. Let's just all pretend like nobody's heart got hurt, okay? ;)

Dear Life, As per usual, I'm forever grateful to be alive.

Happy Monday friends! Got anything fun planned for the week?

Hey Sar! I'm sorry about everything. I read your post yesterday but didn't know what to say/didn't know if you wanted people to say anything because of the last bit. But I did want you to know that I'm thinking about you and am glad that you're doing okay. I think a few extra Starbucks splurges are in order for this week.

Han said...

Sweetie! I just saw your post about the weekend. I am sending you huge hugs! I know I can't pop round with sweeties and tissues but you can drop me an email or a tweet if you want someone to yell at or just rant.

My brother loves Nerds - I blame it on him when I go through this epic retro stage lol. Have a good week HUGS!!!!!!!

Han said...

So I just read the last paragraph of your post (because I had missed that bit oops!)

So if my comments were wrongly placed I am sorry for putting my foot in it - I tend to do that!

megan said...

How have I never consumed a box of rainbow Nerds? Or better yet, know that such a box existed? Here's to the promise of a fresh start and a better week!

Lin said...

I want an office mate like yours. The only think mine ever brings is her annoying laugh :(

Sorry to hear about your breakup but glad you've come to the realization that it's not you that's not lovable. Honestly, you're cute a button so that could NEVER be true! Keep up positive attitude hon & things will get easier day by day.

Amber in June said...

Hugs being sent your way from me and my mama. We love you, Sarah, and you're one strong, amazing lady. <3

Dee said...

What frustrates me most about break ups is when people say "I know where you are coming from" because how could anyone else possibly know where you are coming from! That being said, I'm thinking of you and hope and know you have the strength to come through this shining. (I am not usually this cheesy).
Have an awesome day, it sounds like you have a great support network, you are loved!

Go kick the world in the butt!

Mama Bear said...

Can't believe no one made the "Nerds for a nerd" connection! Leave it to your parents to recognize the truth. As always, love you tons!

Meghan said...

*HUGE HUGS* Praying for you Sar!!

Alyssa said...

xo. From PA to TX.

Megan said...

I just stumbled on your blog from Meredith's, and saw you're in Waco! My hubby and I just moved from Waco last year and miss it so very much!

Recently Roached said...

We love you!

Renata said...

oh, sweet girl - i'm so glad you've been feelinng the love!

I hope your prospectus works in your favor! haha I'm desperately hoping that my entire lesson plan for this week will just magically...happen.

Molly @ Blonde Out Loud said...

My heart hurt for you yesterday, Sar! I'm glad to hear that today is a new and better day but I'm sure that you will triumph. Hugs and happy thoughts to carry you!

Ashley said...

Hurting for you sweet girl! I know everything will work out! Youre amazing and you are going places! Just keep doing what you're doing! Here's to happy days :)

Charlotte said...

Hey Sara. I read your post yesterday,but didn't know what to say so I decided it was best to say nothing at all. You just keep being you,girl! Don't worry about anything else. *Hugs*

The life of Clare said...

I'm thinking of you and wishing you the best. The circle of blogging contacts and friends remains a constant reminder of the support that is out there. Take advantage of it...

Sometimes we forget that there are others out there to help!

If you ever need to chat to an unknown face, just send emails...

anna.montana said...

Read your post this morning about your weekend, definitely made my heart hurt! But reading your Dear Monday post today made me smile, you're such a strong and healthy-minded lady! It sounds like you are surrounded by people who care about you and what's better than that?!
And I agree with some of the above comments - an extra Starbuck's stop is a must this week!

Meredith said...

Did you ever have a Nerds blizzard back when DQ used to make them? They were my FAVORITE, and you've reminded me that making one just may have topped my after-Lent-is-over list.

I'm still thinking about you friend. Even if you are feeling relatively at peace about it, I'd imagine it's still just kind of sucky!

Breanna Hohenstein said...

Such a neat post idea :)

Kristin said...

So glad you can be positive. A grateful heart usually ends up being a happy heart :)
I love Nerds. I used to eat one of those giant boxes every week.
Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Lisa said...

You are amazing!

Casey Pederson said...

Mmmm nerds, the tiniest of all the candies. Conquer the week, Sar! love!

glad you're doing better! :) Happy Monday!

Betty said...

Hey there. Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Break ups are never easy but know that better things and loves are in your future!!

Katie said...

I'm so sorry to hear your news!! You're absolutely right that you are NOT unlovable. I'm glad that you have a good perspective about it, but so sorry you're having to deal with it. Prayers for you. :(

Holly said...

You are most definitely NOT unlovable! Break ups suck and I know that there's not a lot we, or anyone, can say to help you through them but just know I'm here if ya need to vent or whatever :)
