Catastrophize


Today's post is to give you a chance to get over the Overdose of Village Art Pics.

My newest leggings are madly Zebra and have nothing at all to do with this post.. except of course the prove how MAD I am....

Hello, my name is MadSnapper and I am a Catastrophizer.... I found this new to me word, catastrophize HERE on Hootin Annies blog, and now I know I have been a Catratrophizer all my life. Annies story is a real HOOT.   I will be using the below graphic to tell stories in the future.

Two nights this past week, I spent the hours after 1 am, catastrophizing...

Miriam Webster defines Catastrophize as.

think of me as Chicken Little on Steroids

You can really pull these zebra leggings off! (No pun intended) They're snazzy...and I like 'em. I couldn't wear 'em without looking like a string of black licorice that was blended with whipped cream I tell ya. Look up disaster in your dictionary ..

I think you should get together with Pam. You in your zebra stripes and her in her leopard print. I think the two of you would have a wild time.
I used to catastrophize all the time, now not so much.

Hello,

Wow, those leggings are cool. I have been known to catastrophize too, my hubby would say so too. Enjoy your day!

I catastrophize when I am a passenger in the car with hubby driving. Those leggings look like the zebra is on steroids.

Pam said...

Oh you know I will love those pants! I have some black and white ones somewhat like that but not actually a zebra pattern. Love.

Boy, is this ever me, too. But I tell myself I don't need to be...God is in control, no matter how much I try to be.

Hi, Sandra. I understand that zebras are patterned like that as a means of camouflage so you'll no doubt blend into the background wearing them! What's the opposite of a catastrophizer, because that's me. I always think everything will be fine (which can also lead to problems).

Hey MS...love the Zebra leggins...so the age old question are they white on black or black on white.
Your new word's shorter version is 'what if'!.

Love the new leggings. Are you buying them at Walmart?

I must be your twin because that's me 100%, I am a Catastrophizer. Every situation is going to be bad, I'm always burying the people in my life, etc, etc, etc!!!

You sure can pull those leggings off...me not so much...good for you.
Love your new word....I am a minimal Castatrophizer...haha, my auto correct was having a hissy fit with that word,,,
I sure try to be positive but sometimes I just can't be that way.

I come from a long line of worriers, but I have tried to adopt the Scarlett O'Hara philosophy, "...I'll think about that tomorrow." However, I'll add this new word to my vocabulary, just in case...

Ginny Hartzler said...

HAHAHAHA! I love your new word, Mad catastrwhatever. But there are some good things about being this way. For one thing, no matter what happens, you are usually never disappointed. And always prepared. I think in life it is not too good to get our hopes up. I ADORE the jeggings!! I found a new pair of jean jeggings at Goodwill. They are dusky teal and fake suede.

Hey, soul sista. Not 'Mad', but I'm proud to be a Catastrophizer, too. Can we have t-shirts made, and a club house, too? (*smile*)
Tom's all the time asking why I keep going to the 'worst-case scenario.' I just don't like being surprised. Ever.

Woo-hoo … you KNEW I'd love those black n' white leggings, didn't you?

Chatty Crone said...

Okay - not sure why - but this is one of my most favorite blogs I've read. Love it. I know some others like that tooooooooooooooo! lol

Never heard that word before, Sandra, so thanks for educating me. The zebra leggings are not something I could pull off as I would go a little crazy looking at all those lines...maybe crazier than now?
