Seriously, thanks for asking! I love that you and I have the kind of relationship where I can talk about having anemia and taking lots of iron, and then my blog comments, facebook status update comments and twitter replies all have friends asking how I’m pooping.
Who knew constipation and iron liked each other so much?
For [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been feeling very well lately.
It’s no secret that I’ve been battling ladyparts problems for years now, or that I have IBS.
I used to post about those things once in a while because it involved a funny story, like when I had to pee real bad that time at [...]

I am awesome at quitting. Sometimes, like right now, I quit things before I even start them.
Remember this post back at the end of January about how I was joining the Slow Readers Book Club? And how happy I was that I had something like 6 weeks to read the book because I’m so lazy?
So, [...]

The best thing about this recipe is that it’s almost impossible to screw up. I found it at allrecipes two years ago and it’s one of those I make every once in a while. It was the first recipe that came up just now when I did a google search to get the link, so [...]

I’ve been hiding under a rock for the last week or so.
I tend to do this when Aunt Flo is in town. I curl up on the couch with my heating pad, abuse ibuprofen, pass clots the size of nickels, and wish I was dead. Jerrad only gets close enough to hand me food, chocolate [...]

I hate waiting. With the passion of a thousand fiery suns.
Awhile ago one of my friends described herself as an “offensive player” in a post and it stuck with me because that totally describes me, too. I’d much rather figure out what I want, go for it, and let the chips fall where they may [...]

Look at me, not posting for a week again.
It’s just that I’m sort of in limbo until I hear back from my doctor’s office. Limbo such that I’m not sure how to think about it, let alone write about it. My appointment was this past Monday (Feb. 1) and it was all talk and bloodwork. [...]

UPDATE (Jan. 30, 2010): This is hands down, the laziest blogging move I have ever pulled. I published this post on the 26th, but got distracted and forgot to pimp it on twitter.
But. I do have a reason (yes, other than laziness) for wanting to update and edit it. The original post was about things [...]

One of the changes I’ve been wanting to make is to spend more time reading. I’ve always been a big reader, but lately the only reading I’ve been doing has consisted almost exclusively of tweets, facebook status updates, blogs and smutty fanfiction.
To keep this goal from being like all the other things I intend to [...]

Holy crap you guys.
I’m a finalist in a recipe contest. I almost didn’t even enter, but it’s an Aiming Low thing and they are all about being lazy things being easy so I figured I could probably handle it.
One of our favorite recipes is also one of the easiest recipes to make ever. So, it [...]
