• I am SO READY for this long weekend. In 7 short hours, I shall head to the beach house where I will park myself in a recliner and hopefully finish Twilight.
• Tomorrow, I will be introducing my father to my boyfriend. The boy is nervous but I’ve assured him that there won’t be any need for him to say anything because around my dad I’m usually all, “Look what I can do!” (bonus points to you if you can tell me where that is from)
• I’ve been lax in mentioning a couple things. Please excuse me. I don’t know if you heard but I HAD SURGERY (how long can I play the surgery card? Is it getting old? Because I plan on playing a lot this weekend for my dad).
• Mamikaze gave me a kick ass blogger award. I love Mamikaze not only because she’s from the Pacific Northwest, but also because she’s hilarious and also because she loves Trader Joe’s wine just as much as I do (and maybe a little more).
• Amber gave me a Brillante Weblog Award. Amber is adorable and has the cutest little owl on her banner that I want to kidnap and call my very own.
• And, the 3 Giraffes who I dined with at BlogHer and and are ALSO from the Pacific NW gave me the Arte Y Pico Award.
• I am so thankful and want to give each one of you a big wet kiss. You’re welcome.
• Also, I’m far too lazy to follow the rules and give these awards out myself. So, consider yourselves awarded. All of you! For all 3 awards! You’re welcome again!
• Please don’t forget to watch my beloved Oregon Ducks play kick the canine behinds of the Washington Huskies tomorrow night at 7 p.m. PST. I’ll be wearing my brand new Oregon Underpants.
• Our grand prize winner of the Book Giveaway has still not claimed her prize. Ashley? ARE YOU OUT THERE?
• I just this very second began to crave Fried Chicken. Why?

That is all, friends! Enjoy your LONG weekend! See you Tuesday (or maybe Monday, if I get lonely)

In two short weeks, I’ll be injected with an insane amount of hormones which will put me into medical menopause.

DUDE.

I had my post-op appointment with my gynecologist yesterday (she is the doctor that performed my surgery) we talked about treatment options, my fertility, and my TIMELINE. We looked at pictures of healthy ovaries and uteruses (uteri?) and then pictures of my diseased uterus and ovaries (but, my tubes? they look “pretty good!”). We decided that medical menopause was our best course of action to stomp this endometriosis down for the next few years so that I can one day have a baby.

So, for the next six months or so, I will experience hot flashes, mood swings, and no period (but, I’m actually excited about that part!). Please bear with me, especially if you work with me, know me in real life, or happen to be dating me.

On a side note: If you wear a dress to go see your lady doctor, you don’t have to get all the way naked for your pelvic. Consider that a gift from me to you.

Does anybody have a fan?

I’m back at work today and very, very busy! But, if you’re missing me, you can go check out what I wrote over at Secret Agent Josephine’s today.
