Hepburn and Houndstooth

WARNING: This post contains information that may be too graphic and just too much information for your taste.

1. My whole life, I had very mild PMS and periods.  Then I had kids.  Now, I have crippling cramps and with each child, the bleeding has gotten heavier.  I get weak and nearly pass out at times.  I woke up in the familiar pool of blood this morning.  Oh joy.

2. When I was a kid, any time my mom left the room I wanted to know where she was going and what she was going to do once she got there.  So often, her answer was, “I just need to pee, Rhonda!”  I couldn’t understand why she was annoyed.  Now, Nick is the same way and it drives me batty!  Sorry, Mom!

3. I really wish every cable network would get on the Full-Episodes-Online Bandwagon.  I don’t have cable while staying at my dad’s and I’m dying without my pals Tori, Dean, Giuliana, and Bill.

4. When Jason Mesnick dumped Melissa on national television and I found out by reading Reality Steve that it was probably all staged, I was done.  I vowed to not watch the next season of the Bachelor.  So I didn’t watch Jillian’s Bachelorette or Jake’s Bachelor.  Now, stuck here with no cable, what else can I watch?  I tuned in last night to Ali’s Bachelorette, only to turn it off before the rose ceremony even occurred.  So boring and she is so phony.  If you’re like me and know that these shows aren’t at all reality, but you like to watch the trainwreck anyway, I suggest reading Reality Steve‘s spoilers, then tuning in to watch it all happen.  It adds a new dimension to it.

5. I did a shopping trip Saturday for two weeks of meals.  It was so much fun!  I scouted out the weekly ads online, paired that with the few coupons I had, made an organized list, and headed to Target and WinnDixie.  I saved so much money and will definitely be doing it again!

6. I have been trying some new products lately and think I’ll do a post to share my experience and opinions.  I think it’s fun to try new things and I love when I find something I’ll use or eat for life!

7. I am too excited that tonight begins the American Idol finale.  I hate for it to end, but am so ready to see my boy Lee sing and then tomorrow, win!  As Nick would say, WHOMP WHOMP!

8. Next month, my good friend Amber and I are having a Girls Night Out.  I have never needed one so badly in my life!  It’s going to be a good one, I can tell already!  A special thanks to my wonderful husband who lets me have these little indulgences.  Sadly, not all husbands are as understanding.

9. I have decided to part with some childhood collectibles, because they are gathering dust in my closet and I need money!  It was a difficult decision, but once it was made, it felt sooo right!  I will probably make a minimum of $200.  Now, I just have to get myself motivated to do the work of listing them on eBay!

10. I am having a hard time believing that Harper will be a year old Friday.  It seems like I was just pregnant.  Also, we may be done having kids, so it’s pretty emotional for me!
