what a terrible blogger am I?

i know i suck, oh well. my boy comes home and i never blog. i do on the other hand read blogs like a fiend. i enjoy doing so over morning coffee everyday. today i am selfishly posting for a contest. i know i am so terrible. this contest is from chocolate covered katie http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/faq/veganism/ccv-in-a-box/test/door-1/in-a-cave/ive-got-a-lovely-bunch-of-coconuts/.
oh looks delish. to gain more entries you have to blog about one of her recipes. well i just whipped up a batch of her chocolate fudge babies. i have made a similar coconut version and loved them. these are. totally. awesome. even better than the coconut ones i've made in the past. i did substitute almonds for walnuts but seriously this is like cake batter. here's the recipe: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2009/10/13/make-these-now/
i'll admit it i'm intrigued by the whole raw food movement. though i know i would never consider becoming a raw foodist, little snacks and meals like these I think are great. a much healthier alternative to a candy bar. and just one will kill your sugar cravings.

birth control decisions??

knew that would get your attention. so BC has been on the mind lately. mostly because i'm due for my next depo shot in the next 2 weeks and I'm not sure I'm going to get it. Actually right now i'm 98% sure I'm not. Fear not all, I will not be breeding yet. I'll just ask to go back to ortho tricyclene lo. It's been my old friend in the past. Here's my pro's and con's list so u know why i'm frustrated w/ the shot.

Pro's:
only have to get it every 3 months
NO periods!
The hormones make me less moody

Con's:
extreme weight gain (we're talking 15 lbs in 6 months people)
makes you feel hungry all the time (hence all the weight)
acne like i'm a 15 year old
depletes your body of calcium so I have to take a supplement everyday

ok so most of my cons are really sorta cosmetic but it's getting rediculous. I've never had a pill make me gain weight. but really i fit in nothing anymore and it's really getting to my self esteem. the only bonus to the lb's is that i went up a full cup size. yessssss i'm finally a B. sad I know :( but anyways i may have to bear being crazy and bleeding again as a tradeoff. gross much?? well i have no choice since we are not ready for a baby and family planning scares me too much and sounds like too much effort right now. any suggestions what everyone else is on? is there some fancy new pill I haven't tried?

is it bad or good things that happen in 3's?

ok so this week i've heard of 3 impending divorces of people i know. there is also 3 people close to me that are pregnant right now. sooo, boy and i are going against the grain i guess by staying married and childless. :)

happy hump day

this week is taking forever!! seriously. why is it only wed? anyways i have nothing particularly important to say so i will just update with random tidbits.

i am super cranky this week. i'm not sure why. i think it's because i have to work 2 12 hour shifts this weekend and it's really putting a cramp in my style to know i'm working 7 days straight. unfortunately i've been taking my crankyness out on boy.

i may or may not have been vomited on by a patient today. yes i know this is super gross but if u saw the pain they were in u would just feel bad like i did. and by may or may not, i mean i'm not really sure. there perhaps was a suspicious yellow droplet on my id badge and therefore i am assuming vomit got on my scrubs. i ran into the shower when i got home. ::shudder::

it has been 82 degrees and then snowing all in one week. no wonder everyone here is getting sick.

i am sad that flipping out is already over. i miss my jeff lewis.

i am obsessed with hulu

i am still not sleeping and it is still annoying

related note: boy is still snoring off and on

that is all

i miss sleep...

why is it so elusive? i do get bouts of insomnia. and if i'm anxious about anything at all forget it. it takes me an average of i'd say 30-60mins to fall asleep on a regular night. tylenol pm doesn't affect me, neither does advil pm anymore. it's getting annoying. and the kicker is that I looooove sleep. i'm not a morning person. i enjoy naps. i would sleep 9 hours a night if it was up to me. damn. last week Boy was sickly and his snoring drove me to sleep in the guest room two nights cuz i was staring at the ceiling listening to the bulldozer next to me. he hates it when i do that though. i didn't get any good sleep this weekend and here i am monday night exhausted and still unable to sleep. Boy has been taking ambien lately and loves them. he really does pass out like 10 mins after taking them, and then wakes up all cheerful and well rested. i'm so jealous. so tempted to take one but they scare me. but right now i'm so tired my head hurts and i just want a good nights rest. please oh please let tonight be the night.
