Winners Always Win... Eventually

This week, I started sprouting pimples and eating like a pig.

Y'know what that means!

Gimme a P. Gimme a M. Gimme an S. What does that spell?

BITCH!

I realized it had been a month since I'd posted last. What can I say? I'm sorry. Here's a quick update on what's been going on.

1. School started. I'm a teacher on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a student on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and a waitress on Saturdays. Hence, I have no life. And no time to post.

2. Two days before the start of school, I got a raging eye infection and a chapped cornea in my right eye. It's still not completely healed. I'm on seven different medications. Three different kinds of eye wash. Eye lotion. Eye lube. Even steroids.

3. I drank a beer at a dive bar. Got really sick. Learned my lesson. Sorta. There are some bars where you can't order a glass of wine. I'm going to have to make an exception. Swallow my pride. Be that girl.

4. I didn't eat meat.

5. Somebody won my contest!


I wrote the names of everyone who commented - both on FartyGirl and on Facebook.



I folded each one kinda sorta neatly.



I placed them in my Freddy Krueger hat.



I started to shuffle.


I dropped the hat.


I rummaged around in the hat.



I pulled out the winner! Meech!



I have to admit something. If I was a cheater, I totally would've picked Meech as the winner. She's been following & commenting on all of my blogs since I started posting them, six years ago on MySpace!

I'm not a cheater. But I am deliriously happy to have pulled her name out of the Freddy Krueger hat.

So Meechy-Lady! Facebook me what kinda tea you'd like!


Aaaaaand... since we're on the subject of PMS, let's talk PMS cures. What do you ladies do to cope? I'm still rocking the sesame seed bars.

Way to go old school on the random number generator!

Thanks for being my first blog comment - I am DEEPLY honored! I seriously don't know how you managed it with your busy schedule!

I take 3 packs of pills consecutively because I get terrible migraines with my period -so now I only have them 4 times a year. I wish I knew about that sooner.

Wow, that's a full life, or "no life" as you put it.
I'm PMSing too, and incidentally drank wine for the first time on Tuesday. Better than any other alcohol I've had yet. Would you know, it might be my imagination but my boobs were far less sore after a glass of wine was in my system. PMS antidote, anyone?

Good luck with the eye - that infection sounds really sucky.

Pamprin. It seriously rocks my world. Not only does it take care of the pain, it actually helps the mood. It's magical. I don't generally like to take otc meds, but Pamprin is my hero.

PMS: I'm on a set P schedule because I've been n the pill for over a decade (still doesn't stop me from having it for 7 days or more). But, I DO have mood swings (worse than normal).

I've been denying PMS for my whole life but there is just no other explanation. Often I forget that it's time for the P to kick in until I realize I'm crying over old salad in the fridge, or a few dishes in the sink.

I haven't ever had a coping mechanism, I usually just let it pass. Aleve for cramps when they happen (not what I'd like to do, but sometimes it's TERRIBLE and I just give in to the meds).

To My Favorite Be-yotch,

Magnesium supplements can really help with PMS symptoms...just be careful not to overdo it.

Hope you're feeling better and that the eye has healed by now.

Do you know how much you make me laugh?

Love,
Your Favorite Nut

Just found your site...have to say, you're pretty hilarious! And I know exactly what you mean about having no life. Being in work and school at the same time, I have zero life. The only thing I do outside of work and school is yoga...which definitely helps me with PMS. At least for the hour that I'm doing it.
