I’m sure all the ladies in the house know that we should be feeling ourselves up on a regular monthly basis, to check for any abnormalities. But do the boys know they should do the same? Here’s a little clip that will… stimulate… your memory, and encourage you to… touch yourself. Give it a Go. Continue reading Self Exam

Did you hug your mom yesterday? I did. But now, the allergies have gotten the better of me. I did not sleep. And now I am home. For now I’m going back to bed – but leave a kind comment! Actually, I’ll probably be really bored by the time 1:00pm rolls around, so everyone who … Continue reading Snnnrrrrrrrrrrrk

I think I need to give in to the fact that I may have spring allergies. I’ve been sneezing like a mofo for at least three weeks. For the past few days, my eyes have been dry and hurty (I haven’t even been wearing my contacts). I wake up in the morning groggy and snotty. … Continue reading Giving In

I’ve officially abandoned the patch. The nausea was getting worse and worse, meaning I was getting weaker and weaker, finally culminating with today, a Sunday where I haven’t showered, not because I’m lazy, but because I have no faith in my ability to stay vertical or conscious long enough to get the job done.

If you’ve lost 15-odd pounds, chances are you will need a new sports bra, … Continue reading Notes to self nearly 24h after the gym last night

I am so tricky, I’ve finally managed to fool myself. In an effort to look more like a presentable human being at work, I’ve started wearing my workout clothes to walk to work, and changing into work attire when I get here. It means I wear a lot more uncomfortable, but oh so pretty shoes … Continue reading Silly Rabbit

Due to growing concerns about the side effects of the long-term use of Depo Provera, I’ve decided to switch my hormonal contraception to the Evra Patch. I’ve taken oral contraceptives before, and the reason I switched to Depo Provera is because I just couldn’t remember to take the pill every day. When I decided to … Continue reading Patch Adams

A lot of people at work are sick lately. I did pilates last night. You wouldn’t normally think these two things have anything to do with eachother, but how wrong you’d be. I did the extreme abs pilates workout, and thanks to my co-workers I’m developing a bit of a cough. I think you know … Continue reading Relations
