Honest Crap and More

Thank you to both Megan and Angry Infertile for my very first award. Yipeeee!!! I must be a total dork, because I was so excited to receive one. And it totally helped me last night to keep my mind off of the fact that I STILL DON'T HAVE MY FREAKING PERIOD. However, my mind is all over that shit now. Cycle day 34. I'm POAS before I go to bed with the hopes that the taunting Not Pregnant will cause my subconscious to relax. Voodoo Hero (V.H) says that a relaxed uterus will help AF to arrive. If the pee stick doesn't help, maybe the glass of wine I'm having will.

On another note, my 3rd acupuncture session was tonight. He inserted a few more needles again this time, including 2 close to my rib cage. My body relaxed almost immediately and I'm not kidding when I tell you I started to nod off. My head did one of those droop to the side kinda things, and then I jumped up a little. Drooped head = pushed in ear needle. Not good. But, V.H. was impressed that someone as anxious as me was able to get to that point of relaxation. I'm feeling pretty proud of that and the fact that I can lie perfectly still while 20 something needles are inserted one at a time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!

AWARD RULES

1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap." Well, there's no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.

Okay, so here are 10 Honest Things About Me.
1. I am super jealous of everyone in my life that has children or is pregnant. Jealous almost to the point of insanity. Duh.
2. I'm really good at hiding my true emotions. Unless I'm pissed.
3. I have sex dreams often about men other than my DH. ;) Although DH does show up sometimes too.
4. I HATE the name of my blog. It sounds so generic and blah.
5. One day I'd like to try writing a children's book. Ideas don't flow through me though.
6. When I get nervous, I have a serious sweating problem. Most of the time, it comes from my right armpit.
7. My DH is not the only man I slept with, but he is the only man who I've wanted to be around all the time. Most of our fights are because he doesn't spend enough time with me.
8. My mother and sister are my truest friends. We've been through so much together. A few years ago, my sister had an abortion, and shortly after that I wasn't able to conceive. Two total opposite heartbreaks, and my mother has been the rock for both of us. I love them and don't know how I'd survive without them.
9. Over the last few years, I've begun to question the existence of God. It makes me sad and I haven't had much peace since. Praying does make me feel better though, and I turn to it whenever I feel totally lost. But, I envy those with an unwavering faith, 'cause deep down, I'm just not sure.
10. I can't stand people who are fake.

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

  2. Hmmm...maybe I should try acupuncture. Plain old massage just isn't cutting it. Honestly the cost frightens me more than the needles. :)

  9. I loved acupuncture. I used to nod off all the time, too. It was like the best 15 minutes of sleep ever. ICLW

  10. You know, I've been working on #1. I don't like feeling that way, but I also don't like that people don't understand that I might feel that way...

    And yes, acupuncture is the BEST!

  11. Erica- it is funny, like you i always want my DH around....which is so different from the men I dated before. My girlfriends would make fun of me, because I always had rules "like, we could go out fri/sat, but Mon-thursday was mine to focus on me, my girlfriends and my career." but pretty much from the day I met J. we were always together. thanks again for the award :)
