Ok, first and foremost, a short warning: I’ll be talking about my uterus and my monthly cycle in this post. If you can’t deal – the tiny little X in the top right corner is your friend. Also – this is going to be a list post – it’s going to cover everything from Pizza to Periods…
- After watching a good 15 minutes of The Food Network – the old man and I decided we wanted some good ‘ole Chicago Style Pizza. This was a favorite when we lived in Chicago – both of us really love it. So, after reading the reviews and researching, we decided to head to Old Chicago for lunch. Verdict: We should have just ordered a large deep dish pizza from Pizza Hut – we had a coupon, it would have been cheaper and tasted better. Next time, I’ll ignore my desire to want to stay close-ish to home and drive down to Uno’s in Phoenix – at least Uno’s in Chicago is pretty darn good…but then again, we’ve tried another “Chicago Favorite” that is here locally and it’s just not good either. *Sigh*
- I’m not at work right now. Not because I don’t want to be or because I’m to tired or anything like that – it’s because my period. Lame excuse? One might think so – but it’s not. I have to go to the rest room every 15 minutes…I’ve had two showers this morning and I’ve changed clothes four times. They say you can’t actually bleed to death from your period – but I’m really wondering if that’s true. This is just out of hand. I sent an email saying I’d be in around 11 – but here it is 9 and it’s not getting any better. For the record, I’ve been doing this since Saturday afternoon.
- I am struggling between visiting Texas this summer or saving the money and using it for the few things we want to get finished around the house. I am leaning towards the house stuff, honestly.
- The hardest part about Facebook is seeing things going on within your ‘family’ from a distance, but not being respected enough to be told about them one-on-one – I’ve been slammed again with yet another interesting piece of news…and by interesting I mean “what the hell are you thinking!?”
- I was going to blog on food portions over the weekend – but instead, I didn’t do much of anything, including blogging.
- I’ve done a really good job of checking out of all things ‘internet related’ on the weekends – it’s been a long time since I’ve done that, but now that I’ve taken the time to refocus on things that are more important to me – I realize how few of those things involve the internet.
- I quit smoking.
- I really do need to go get ready for work – how embarrassing will it be to take changes of clothes with me – I haven’t done that since…ever…
Anyway – off I go. Hopefully I make it

First off on the quitting smoking — you are awesome! Keep it up, woman! As to the torrential bleeding? I have nothing to say except that you have my sympathies. do you think we’ll ever talk about your next career?
Hi there, Happened upon your page after listening to the Creating a Family radio show. Thanks for your feedback! I just wanted to comment about your period only because I have been struggling with the same thing. I think it has to do with perimenopause and low progesterone levels. There is a progesterone cream I am using and it really helped my period to be less heavy last time. Kind of awkward to talk about but wanted you to know!
Thanks Gina,
I’ve got an appointment with my Dr. on Tuesday. Hopefully she can figure out what’s going on. Due to some other underlying medical issues, it’s a real concern…I worry they’ll want to take drastic measures…which is frustrating.
At any rate – thanks so much for the advice – I’ll bring it up to her
