Warning! TMI

For those of you who don't know TMI is Too Much Information. And in this case it is too much information about myself and my body... so if you want to stop reading now please do. But if your brave/female feel free to take a gander.

So I'm a procrastinator. I'm pretty sure I was born with it. You'd think that since my mom is type A and my dad is a list maker I'd combine that to make a lethal force of getting things done. Nope. It backfired and I procrastinate. So I got married a year ago... you know what that means.. my female doctors appointment (by this I mean an exam with a gynecologist. I'm going to stick with calling it a female doctor's appointment.) was over a year ago... you know what that means?? for the last month I've been putting of finding a new female doctor here in utah and going. And do you know what the final straw was? What finally forced me just do it?? Well last Friday my birth control pack ended so last Wednesday I went to refill it... my presription had expired three days previous. UH-OH. So they tried calling the doctor I had gone to last year but Friday came and I still couldn't get my prescription. I had made my doctor's appointment but it wasn't in time. Gasp. What is Margaret going to do... have a kid.... gah NO!

So I take Yaz which is the new and improved version of Yasmine. Well it just so happens that I had some old expired packs of Yasmine on hand. So I decided to just take them. Now I've heard stories about girls getting pregnant because they had switched pills and failed to take other precautions. So I was sure to take other precautions. Now as those of you who are of the female variety know a great joy comes at the end of every pill pack.. Aunt flow, the painters, your flower.. call it was your will... your period. So as I am every 28 days or so I was exstatic when the monthly miracle of womanhood visited me. And then quickly became anxious when that miracle was a little different that it normaly is. (I'll spare the details just this once so thank me.) I just wrote it off as being due to the pill change but a very small part of me was still worried I was preggo. (A small part of me worries everyday I'm not on my period!) Since I had a doctors appointment today the perfect opportunity to ease my worries was presented.

So I went to my doctor's appointment today already really nervous. I knew I was going to meet Ms. Pap Smear and I was terrified. And of course my female doctor was a man (I chose my doctor by proximity to my home so I could walk... beggars can't be choosers of gender). I filled out their paper work and tried my best to be brutally honest. Let me tell you I do not enjoy sharing the details of that aspect of my life with a man. Yeah sure sometimes I tell brett about it to torture him but a perfect stranger... But I put on my brave socks and told him. I was oh so taken for surprise when he said 'Oh yeah that can be a sign of pregnancy' GASP! GAH! Heart acceleration.. Small part of me thinking well can I drop out of school now??? So he had me pee in a cup to make sure. Although I really needed to pee I was so nervous I almost had to turn the sink on. As I went back to the room to change into the oh so fashionable gown my heart was racing and my palms got a little sweaty. Once I had changed I sat there looking at the poster on the wall of the stages of pregnancy. Thinking.... could that be growing in me! Once the doctor and the nurse walked in I was told my test was negative. Phew! No baby in me. For about 3 minutes though I could have been preggo! But no, my anxiety was relieved... that is until I saw the tool for the pap smear.... my legs are a bit sore from clamping them together. But it was actually quite painless. Although when he asked if I'd like to do it again I told him I'd wait a year.

So the doctor gave me some samples of prenatal vitamins. I don't know, maybe he thought I was planning on pregnancy soon (no) but he said they were still good as just a multi vitamin. And I'm all up for that. But when I called the pharmacy to make sure my new birth control prescription was in they had also filled a prescription for the vitamins. I wouldn't have gotten then but they were only $4! and I happened to have a coupon for $20 in grocercies for every new prescription. So I made $16 off those pills. And since I switched to the generic brand of birth control which was $5 instead of $25 I made another $15 off of that. Gosh I love making money! ( And that isn't even counting the $15 I made off of transfering Brett's prescription last week.)

SOOOOOOO!!! Just so you all know... No I'm not pregnant and I've now taken my first preg test ever... I'm so glad I'm not a cow cuz I'd be pretty sore right now... I'm also 31 bucks richer thanks to smiths.

two disappointing performances on a final down three more to go.

wish me luck I need it!

SHHH!

Don't tell anyone I'm blogging right now. I'm suppose to be writing a report for fluid dynamics that I managed to procrastinate away all day already. Now it's crunch time and I gotta finish it but I just had to tell you. I was so excited to gas my car up today! (Well actually Brett gased it up but I was sitting in the car.) I don't drive much so I don't have to gas up often but I was so excited that I finally needed to because prices have come down so much! I gassed my car up from completely empty, fuel light on and everything, to full for $16.01!!! And that was chevron gas even. I don't think I've ever been so excited to pump hydrocarbons into my car!

It can't really be over!

I can't believe thanksgiving is over. I'm so very sad.

So over break I fell in love with a vampire, was nearly killed many times and lived happily ever after. Oh wait I'm confusing my life with the books I read over break. (And no I'm not in love with Edward!)

During every break from school that is longer than just a day I usually choose a book or books I want to read since I don't get much fun reading in during the semester. So this year I read the twilight books. all of them. I also saw the movie. I enjoyed the first book quite a bit. Found the movie passable (but only because I had read the book, I would have disliked it had I not). I especially liked some of the music they used and have already added a few songs to my playlist. I enjoyed the rest of the books as well but got a little tired of then, especially by the end of the last one. Now, much to Brett's chagrin, I'm rereading all the part that I liked. (Thank you for loaning me the first book Kim and thank you for the last three books Caroline)

Thanksgiving itself was wonderful. Just sitting around relaxing and enjoying family was wonderful. My only regret was not getting to go shooting Thanksgiving morning. Last year I went with my dad, brothers, and Brett and absolutely loved it and decided it was to be a tradition. Well both my brothers were out of the state and Brett ditched me to go hunting.(evidently shooting pop cans isn't as fun as shooting flying birds.)

As I said the break was fabulous but I don't have much to blog about since I really spend most of it in the world of Bella Swan in Washington. Now I'm having trouble getting back to work... I think I'll put that off another day and go veg!

Being on the bandwagon isn't so bad.

Well there you have it I just finished Twilight. My brother and sister-in-law stayed with us before flying out of the Salt Lake Airport and she brought the first book down for me to borrow. I was sure to not be too judgmental and let myself enjoy the book. And I actually did enjoy it quite a bit. I got a little sick of how overly clumsy the main character was made out to be and wanted to yell 'just pick your feet up a little higher when you walk woman!' I made sure my sister-in-law only brought down the first book because I knew if I had all four books all my responsibilities would go unfinished. So now I'll have to wait till thanksgiving break, luckily that starts on Wednesday. But of course we are staying with my in-laws so I'll have to restrain myself from reading 22 out of the 24 hours everyday I'm up day. Something about needed to be social...

So sister-in-laws are we still going to see the Twilight movie over break. I just read the book just so I could see the movie. so are we still going?

Something for me to whine about.

I am so angry depressed. Wanna know why? I lost my chap stick. Brand new I bought it last Friday and I've lost it. I swear I put it in my pocket before leaving this morning and now it is gone. gone like a freight train gone like yesterday! Why is it that cheap chap stick will stick around for ever? I still have a grape flavored Winnie the Pooh chap stick from freshman year! But I buy yummy delicious 5 dollar chap stick (that was on sale too!) and it's gone within a week! Mind you I could be over reacting. Last month I thought I had lost my U-Card. Same situation I was almost positive I had put it in my pocket but then it was still at home on my dresser. So maybe the same thing with my lip chap. But until I can get home and look for it I'm mourning for my lonely, barely used chap stick shivering on the sidewalk some where between here and my home.

I miss you my yummy, beautiful lip gloss.

Update:
The chap stick has been found. Well I guess I should say A chapstick. Brett found it walking home, on the side walk, about a block from our apartment. Same color, same brand, same flavor, same amount of lip gloss left, same newness looking. I'm still a little untrustworthy of it. Brett said he ran a DNA test on the application part and it matches mine.... I still haven't used it yet. But really what are the chances that someone else dropped the exact same chapstick within a block of our house the exact same day mine disappears....


On another note I'm going to finally add a new recipe to my recipe blog. It a nearly perfected dish so don't miss it.
