Independence Weekend part 1

Saturday was intoxicating laying on a floatie with a beer linked to my bro, his wife and my husband in a dirty lake was just what we all needed. So much fun.

Weekly Confessional

Less than two weeks after that damn progesterone shot I was about to check myself into a mental clinic. I was going bonkers and to make things worse I had gained about 8 pounds ALL IN MY GUT. Not cool to say the least. I stepped on the scale (such a mistake) and began a dark downward spiral that resulted in me calling my MOMMY and bawling my eyes out. If there ever were a time that every razor blade in the house needed to be locked up this was it. I felt like a grapefruit had made a home in my stomach. I am not the healthiest or skinniest person out there and I have been up front about my weight gain on this blog for awhile now but this was insane to have go up in weight that quickly. I have been steady for quite a while now and my eating habits and all that had not changed drastically so I was freaking out at what it could have been. It finally hit me that it was probably that damn shot so I did a little research and found that it was common. Still not very comforting but at least I had stopped writing that suicide note that I had started. (that was a joke mom)

 

Since it's been about another week I am feeling less crazy, which is nice. This holiday weekend was exactly what I needed. I have a new progesterone pill to start taking so I'm hoping it helps. If anything I would just like my hormones to be balanced. I have to be clear that I am not just doing all of this to get pregnant. Yes, that is something that I want but I am willing to wait until my body is ready. I don't want to just have a baby NO MATTER WHAT. As much as I want one, I don't want one that way. I want one when my body is ready and when it is meant to happen. I love my doctor he is really good and specializes in this sort of thing so I trust him which is weird for me to feel that way about a doctor. I've had some interesting experiences with girlie docs of which I'll have to write about some day.

 

This week I plan on posting about the weekend - IT WAS A BLAST!! And I was able to wrangle Tyrone into helping me take new masthead pics for das blog and I have a fun week of posts planned for next week. I hope you stay with me.

 

I want to end this by thanking my mom (she is a fucking rock) and Tyrone for not leaving me in my crazy state.

Eats - Poor Man's Bruschetta & Goat Cheese

Don't have fancy bruschetta bread or expensive goat cheese & organic blackberries laying around your house? Me either. I decided that a slice of whole grain bread, generic cream cheese and blackberry jam couldn't be much different. It tastes fantastic thank you very much and won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Fridays with Frederick

The stuffed animal that Tyrone one at Lagoon on our anniversary date lasted about 30 second with Frederick around. This fish was pretty big so we thought he would go to town on it. He tore into really fast but as soon as the white stuffing came out he stopped. Since the fish was so big the stuffing was more than he could handle and we wouldn't finish the job. It was weird because he usually takes a ton of pleasure in ripping that shit apart but he just kept backing off from it every time the stuffing would come flying out. These pictures don't do any justice to the mess it left. I think he thought he was going to get in trouble or something because of the mess it was leaving. I even tried coaxing him to play with it but he wouldn't. Such a weird dog.

It took me about an hour just vacuum it up.
