"some folks think of me as a nervous mama-hen."

Oh WOW. Me, too! To be honest, I'm sick of hearing it. :\
Sometimes I'll say, "No, it's not over-thinking, it's simply thinking in the first place."

If it's not hurting them, or doesn't have anything to do with them personally, why must people turn something _simple_, into a negative, when it's a positive thing?

I feel pretty strongly about things..which you may have noticed by now, so don't be too alarmed. :D
