So whatever, I dunno if normal people discuss this in a public forum but this has been bugging me and it’s my blog.
Anyways, I went to my doctor to get a new prescription for birth control and he really started pushing Mirena on me (hormonal IUD), so I agreed to see a gyno … except now that I’ve read all this super negative stuff online I’m totally freaked out. (Spotting for 6-8 months? No thank you.) Now obviously there’s much higher likelihood of people posting negative stuff online (because people love to complain) but still, it wasn’t a pleasant read.
Any of you ladies have tried it/have a preferred method of BC?
“On the one hand, we are aware of the cultural importance of physical beauty in our society. And on the other, we’ve been educated time and again that our worth is greater than the sum of our parts. So when our bodies change in ways that we haven’t signed off on, our guilt is two-fold. There is the visceral reaction to what’s happening to my body (I’m uncomfortable with my appearance). And then there is the logical reaction to the visceral response (I am ashamed of the discomfort I feel about my appearance, because it is frivolous and makes me seem like less like of a confident, intelligent woman). Great, now I’m not only disappointed in how I look, but I’m also disappointed with how I feel. AWESOME.”

Like I’ve said, if you just learn to love yourself you’ll be better for it.
Neither of these would be relevant.
But they still make an appearance here and there… (via dianetriesharder)

I feel like this is something @xpltvdeleted would be involved in ….

This Hot, Kitten-Toting Fireman Wants to Make You a Drink -
This actually sounds like a decent margarita.
This commercial is amazing. Everyone please watch this commercial. When it ended, I realized that my hand was over my heart like I was pledging allegiance and my mouth was slightly agape.
So friggin’ cheesy and yet I was giggling at the end. Loooove it. #imsuchagirlsometimes.
Finally a word to describe how i feel sometimes…

Let’s see where I weighed in on my habit-forming goals today:
Proof:
Breakfast: 1/3 cup oatmeal, 6 meatballs
Lunch: spinach salad with tuna and 1 egg
Snack: smoothie with spinach, banana, berries, soy milk and protein powder
Dinner: chicken breast with spinach salad with olives, tomatoes and avocado
Snack: cottage cheese and greek yogurt with strawberries
(I totally reserve the right to switch around the order of the meals however it suits me … as I learned today, my stomach craves strawberries at approximately every minute of the day, so …. I may have finished off the box. Whoops.)
Proof:
- Call the fucking doctors. Make those doctor’s appointments. I don’t care that you don’t like picking up the phone. And no it doesn’t matter that you don’t have a family doctor - just find a fucking directory and call someone. Do it.
No seriously, you have to do it. They might not even have spots until July. Better do it now. Also you have moles on your body. Any one of them could be skin cancer. (And yes, I did spend at least 30 minutes researching melanoma pictures and comparing them to my moles. My poor hypochondriac brain was not meant to interact with the Internet.)
- Research the crap that I’m going to be researching in September. So that it actually looks like I know something about it.
- Email potential advisors. Let them know that I actually know shit. Pick one of them to be my actual advisor.
- Email previous research supervisor. Keep in touch. I know you fucking like to leave shit behind and never think about it again, but you actually have to keep connections. It’s hard to network when you just ignore everyone that you interacted with in the past.
This looks SO fun!
I always get bored just sitting around on vacations - this would be perfect!
I want to say that I fully believe that excellence and success are the result of good habits. Talent and one-off feats of amazing strength (whether physical or mental) are important, but consistency is key. Now I won’t vouch that 30 days is enough to instill good new habits and forget everything else youusedto do, but I do know that getting those good habits is a product of consistent effort, day in and day out - effort to do the right thing.
So what I’m going to do for 30 days is be mindful. I am going to make a deliberate effort to improve my life and form good habits.
Here are some things that are detrimental to my well-being:
And here are some GOOD HABITS that I will work on forming:
And for this 30 day May/June period, I will also seriously attempt to reach the splits. Random goal? Yes. But I believe that accomplishing the little goals in life is what makes you feel satisfied with yourself.
So each day I will post a recap of my habit-forming exercise and we will see where I am in mid-June!
SO. TERRIBLE.
I honestly cannot understand the majority of the population that apparently loved it. The plot was … pretty much nonexistent. Loki and Thor were straight out of a reallyreallybad Shakespeare play put on by elementary school kids. (Seriously, was that acting?).
And as much as I understand that this is a superhero movie and they have superpowers, you CANNOT just make ALL of them impervious to any sort of damage. Like fine, Hulk is super strong, and so is Thor apparently, but if the others fall/are thrown through some sort of wall made of bricks/glass/steel, there should be some broken bones.
Anyways, I annoyed my poor friend to no end because the movie would get so ridiculously bad that I would just have to comment, snarkily, and obviously that was a bit disruptive. So sorry Annette!
