Melt Down

After watching Food Inc (which if you haven't seen it, I highly suggest you do), I swore never to eat fast food again. To only buy Organic foods and never buy those packaged processed foods...I never even knew what people were talking about when they said processed. This documentary gave me a whole new meaning to that term exposing everything behind the veil the food industry puts up. It's true. I became the epitome of a food snob.

But as the "joys" of womanhood roll around once a month, I find myself in a vulnerable position. Yesterday was an especially interesting day filled with those joys. I went from being distraught because I had nothing to wear, to wanting to throw away all the clothes I had in less than an hour. (PMS + Being away from the love of my life for an entire summer can really throw off a girls emotions) And NOTHING sounded good to eat.


As I was talking to my fiance (over the phone of course because he is 5,000 ridiculous miles away) a beautiful image floated into my head.

A glorious, wonderful, fattening, buttery cinnamon melt from the one and only Mickey D's.

Do I dare go back on my promise I made to myself? ohhhhhhh yeah. After deciding to blatantly deny my new found hatred for McDonalds, I hopped on my rusty bicycle, peddled my little feet as fast as I could in the pouring rain. (no worries... I had on my big blue plastic poncho... of course it was flattering!!!!!)  But once I put the genetically altered chicken nuggets into my mouth and the fattening bread with butter all over it into my mouth, I felt the biggest smile form across my face. I knew I would regret it later but for these few precious moments I was experiencing bliss (something rare to come across this bleak summer). Later I know I will feel a little bit like this...

But for now i am enjoying the incredible taste of processed foods and looking forward to next month when I can once again have the excuse to eat there.

Dog (commonly reffered to as Angel)

At my house lives a Dog.  (named "angel") The thing about Dog is... its hair gets EVERYWHERE. On your clothes, furniture, carpet, floor.... everywhere. It's impossible to completely clean the floor because you turn around and there's always more hair there. Talk about annoying/frustrating/messy. Reasons to not have a dog... they smell, you have to pick up their poop, they shed, you have to bathe them, you have to take them on walks, they bark... loud, you have to feed them, they shed , they lick you after they lick heaven knows what else, and a bunch more reasons. Reasons to have a dog.....                                .   .   . Basically a dog is kind of like a baby that never learns how to talk, or grows spiritually and emotionally, and learns how to feed themselves and use a toilet and become inde...

The day I had a baby

Brace yourselves... This is going to be a long one. About 4 weeks before my due date, a friend from church gave me a book about hypnobirthing. If you are planning to give birth naturally, I suggest not trying to cram what would take 9 months to learn into 4 weeks. The book was wonderful. It talks about how birth is a natural, sacred, and beautiful thing. If you are ready to give birth and aren't afraid, there should be no pain. After reading it, I was 100% sure my birth would be a pain free, natural birth. Yeah, my sister and mother said labor was awful but they just don't have as high of a pain tolerance like I did.... Ha. What a silly thought. We had taken a tour of the hospital and my birth plan was all done. We were ready for this baby to come. I had watched dozens of birth videos and cried during every single one. I made Dan watch at least 3 with me so he would be prepared and not pass out for the birth of our daughter. A week before my due date, February 3rd, I wa...

Levitation

Sooooo yeah. I know. It's been what... 5 months? I guess being married is kind of a time sucker. But only in the best of ways. Oh yeah... Did I mention? I got married! And I am LOVING it! It's exactly like a roller coaster. There are highs and lows and all sorts of fun twists and turns. There are parts that make you want to puke and others that make you scream with excitement. It looks a little scary at first, but once you get on, you never want it to stop! I'll post some pictures of our wedding later. We had an AMAZING photographer and the pictures turned out great! Yesterday my husband told me about this new type of photography where people look like they are Levitating/flying. Wait... flying ? Seriously? Count me IN ! So now we are a little bit obsessed with it. Yeah no big deal... levitating when I study music history
