Waiting to Exhale...Just like Betty Draper

I'm so sorry Jenny...but I don't have a vlog today.  The stress of not knowing what is going to happen to Calvin's job has paralyzed me.  That and lack of sleep and I can't form a thought much less try to write a blog post.  AND today is the 25th and I like to do a Christmas post but I can't even begin to think about the holidays right now.  So...here I sit, holding my breath and cutting out coupons.

However...my brother in law Rob will be here this weekend.  So I could end up vlogging something later.  :)

The other day I told you about one of my favorite shows.  Mad Men.  If you haven't caught this yet..you MUST.  Over the summer I watched the first two seasons on DVD (available from Netflix and iTunes) and I was addicted.  I love Betty Draper and I've always thought she and I were very much alike...expect for the the drinking and smoking while pregnant and humping a stranger in a bar.  So I was delighted when this quiz said I was Betty.  And I completely agree with the explanation, people are constantly taking advantage of my kindness and I'm sick of it.


You Are Betty



You are a perfectly polished and put together woman. You mind your manners and always act appropriately.  You are the type of woman who makes an ideal wife and mother. You are able to be completely selfless.

The downside to your kindness is that people sometimes take advantage of you. You don't stand up for yourself enough. You are as sweet as you seem, but there's only so much one woman can take before she snaps.

  2. Hey Connie,

    I am kind too. I sometimes gets me in trouble, but I love that about myself and feel that it a gift from God so I would not trade it for anything! You just have to manage it so people don't railroad you. What is going on with your husband's job? I hope all is well. I will keep you and you family in my prayers. Stay Sweet girl! :o)

  7. I have no clue what mad men is but I am a Joan and I heart this description :

    You are sexy, sassy, and smarter than people realize. You know how to work a situation to your benefit.
    You are constantly getting underestimated, especially at work. That's okay, because you always get the last laugh.

    You are one tough cookie. You will do what it takes to survive, and you have the men of the world wrapped around your little finger.
    You put on a brave face, and no one really knows the true you. You're a lot more complicated than you seem.

  8. Hang in there Connie & try not to let the stress get to you! Matt LOVES Mad Men. I don't share his fondness b/c I find it a bit dark & I like shows that make me laugh - I need that at the end of the day! Good luck with the coupons, they'll come in handy either way :)
