I was going to be on the rag while I was moving this week, so I decided to take my b/c pills (ortho-tri-cyclen) straight through instead. I'll see how it goes I guess.

Also, lately on my green (sugar) pill week, I've been having this strange aversion to dairy products. Only that week tho, otherwise I'm an ice cream fiend. Weird, huh?

Irritated Uterus...

[lunahalo.livejournal.com]

About 2 weeks ago, I started feeling really shitty. Sick, tired, you name it.. We thought I was pregnant. Ok, fine. Well, yesterday morning, I started spotting real bad, then it stopped. Really scary. This morning, the same thing. So I went to the ER, they did some stuph to me, and come to find out, I have an irritated uterus. My hormones are off keel. The doctor (Dr. Forehand...I'm not joking, that's his name!!) said if this continues, it's just a matter of going on a hormone pill for a little while and getting my body back on track. I am so relieved. Here all this time, Eric and I thought we'd lost another baby, and it turns out my uterus was just bitchin cuz my hormones are out of whack. I mean, sure, for once a hormonal imbalance is a good thing, but what could have caused this to happen??? Is there any kind of birth control that won't mess me up worse but make it better in a matter of a couple months, so I don't have to be putting that crap in my system??? I don't believe in birth control (has nothing to do with religious beliefs), it's just I don't like having to put a lot of chemicals in my system. I took Demulen about 6 years ago when my son was born, came down with PCOS, and the Demulen cleared it up. Ok, fine. I went off the Demulen for a long time, then after my daughter was born, I tried going on Micronor, because I didn't want to have any children for a long time after her, and got paranoid she'd be sterile (I want her to be able to have children someday!!), so I took myself off the Micronor, tried Depo once, hated it, so I haven't tried anything since. I just don't like having to do all this. Any suggestions???

ways to drive away a date

[bayprincess2003.livejournal.com]

When you're on a date and can't stand the guy you're with and want to get as far away as you possibly can, what do you do? Most people grit their teeth and smile sweetly through the entire date, but here are some options that will have him running away from you, not the other way around.

* Compare your ex-boyfriend to him, always favouring your ex in the looks, personality, general goodness departments. Tell him you?re being objective.
* Cut up all your food into tiny little pieces and expect him to spoon feed it to you.
* Compliment him incessantly - on everything from his hair to his outfit, even his mum!
* Cry. Just cry.
* Order the most expensive thing on the menu. Twice.
* Ask for a doggie bag. Try and put his head in it.
* If you're at a restaurant, pull out the food you brought along, and spread it on the table like a picnic. Tell him he'd better eat it because you spent all afternoon making it.
* Be stunned into silence.
* Tell everyone around you he just proposed.
* Laugh hysterically at everything he says.
* Repeat every third third word you say say.
* Read a newspaper or book during the meal. Ignore your date.
* Sacrifice french fries to the great diety, Pomme.
* Lick your plate. Offer to lick theirs.
* Save the bones from your meal and explain that you're taking them home to your
invalid, senile old mother, because its a lot cheaper than actually feeding her.
* Feed imaginary friends.
* Arrange your food by colours and textures. Sculpt the head of your date on your plate.

oops, forgot...

I started my period on Monday this week but was travelling so I couldn't check in, and now I'm pretty much over. So I'm just waving at the Hut this month, as I pass by...

Doesn't your period always start at the most inconvenient time ever? Sheesh. And I use pads (tampons seem to give me yeast infections, even when I keep taking them out religiously every 3 hours), which means being discreet is RATHER a challenge. Especially when staying at someone else's house!! I've given up on keeping it a secret and figure it's like other facts of life--no need to wave it in everyone else's face, but heck, no need to be paranoidly secretive about it either. (Yay adulthood! When I remember how I used to blush as a teenager at the hint of such things... ;)
