PMS my a**

So this site is officially ridiculous. I have a few issues with it, just a few.
First, I love how men always want to blame our bitchiness on PMS...sometimes we just need to be bitches (probably in part because of men).
Second, why on earth do you need to be able to keep track of 5 women's cycles at once...can you say cheater.
Third, it says your mom is someone you could track...come on do you really want to know your mom that intimately boys?
Fourth, there is a freaking chat room where they can post who has the bitchier girlfriend... I am sure when your girlfriend reads it you will win that contest hands down.
Fifth, here is the advice they gave to guys if your girlfriend is PMSing....During PMS women can feel bloated and unattractive. Show her how you really feel with some sexy lingerie...Exactly what we want when we are feeling fat, something that doesn't cover us. We would rather have a comfy pair of PJ pants and some chocolate. (all the more proof that this was written by a man)
Sixth, it claims to save relationships.... if you have to go to this site you don't deserve to be saved.
And of course, don't forget to stop by the store and buy something.... becuase then those 5 women would never know what you were up to!!!!!

Addiction

Alright, I am ready to admit it. I think that is the first step in recovery anyway. Well I have a new addiction. I don't know if it is because I have had a few weeks off and have been looking for something to do or if it just because I enjoy browsing on the Internet or I love shopping. Quite possibly it could be any combination of those.

Well here is my confession: I am addicted to craigslist. I love to look at everything on there. I search for things I need, things I want, and things that I don't even desire. It is like a garage sell at your fingertips. You go and look for stuff people don't want and purchase it. It is amazing. I currently have my eye on a little nightstand that would go perfect with my new bedroom decor.

It is so addictive. I have recently found myself browsing daily. You know I don't want to miss anything or let someone else get to it first. So, if you are a bargain gal (or guy) like me stop by and see what you can find. It is magical!!

Reading

http://www.goodreads.com/

Well as many of you may already know, I am a complete book nerd. I will choose reading over almost any other activity there is. I am the person who will spend the entire day reading a book and finish the entire book in that day. I love becoming involved with the characters and be a part of someone else life. It is a great escape and something that calms me.

One of my favorite ways to get books (beside just browsing at the book store) is recommendations from my friends. Most of them know what I like and give me good choices. I have found a website that make this even easier. It is called good reads and basically people post books they have read online with a review. You can go through and find out what others are reading and their opinions on the book. It is basically a social networking site for books. Except you can view peoples opinions on books even if they are not your friend.

I am in love with this site. It is absolutely wonderful and I have already added several new books to my list of planning to read. It also gives you the opportunity to keep a running tally of the books you have read and your opinion on them. If you love to read go and check out this site. If you don't, then check it out anyway. Who knows maybe something will catch your eye.

Happy Reading!!!

43 things

So today, while my student teacher was teaching I visited the website 43 things (http://www.43things.com/) . The goal of this is to chose 43 goals that you would like to achieve in your lifetime and list them. Then you choose one to really work on and share you progress as you are doing it.

I have been in a really reflective stage of my life so I thought this would be a great oppurtunity for me. I actaully thought that it would be something very easy for me to do, but instead I came up with a few quick ones and then came to a wall in my thinking.

Wow!! What a big question--what are 43 goals for my life? I think this is hard for me to answer because my life has taken a turn I was not anticipating. Which I am viewing as a good thing, as I have a whole new set of oppurtunities presented to me, and I get to decide what I want to do with them. But is also something that is very powerful to me. I am deciding what I want to do with myself and the person I want to be. I totally believe in the power of positive thinking, so I know that if i think I can and I put my mind to it.... I will do it. So I have a lot to think about and if you would like to check out the start of my 43 things you can go to

Who knows maybe it will inspire you to look at your life and think of your 43 goals!!
