i found in my pursuit of God that He was much more hotly in pursuit of me.

estrogen free america

here's a little poem i wrote for you:


later and later are my moon phases
a black whisker grows from my chin
the periods aren't any lighter
major discomfort i am in

i used to sleep under blankets galore
now it's night sweats and naught but chonies
my cicilian greeeeez has made way for dry skin
and something that rhymes with chonies

i seem to be estrogen heavy
according to all that i read
at least if i'm right in what i assume
less years than most will i bleed

i asked the doctor to confirm my suspicion
while she froze off the mole on my neck
it's true it's true, young age aside
she said "you're in pre-menopause, beck!"


oh my word, that is the most beautiful poem of ever! i can't believe i just wrote that. dang. i need a kleenex. at least i'm going to be a hot old lady. and no, i don't mean from the hot flashes.



arrivederci, rebecca marie

What tha.... did you just write a poem with the word "Chonies" in it?

and on a more serious note, how are you feeling about this???

I'm feeling very left out. I don't think I've ever even heard the word "chonies" before. And I KNOW I don't have a clue what it means.

And also, I don't know if the early menopause thing sucks or rocks. No periods would be awesome. The hot flashes, not so much.

arwen - i'd rather have regular periods for more years and a functioning body. but, my body has always chosen the hard way. it is what it is. at least no one can take my sense of humour away, right?

gina - my underoos! also, i'll answer your ponderation. it sucks. hard.

hooray for no more periods for you (eventually)!

be sure to do lots of research about those silly fake hormone replacement thingies that they will try to give you! i'm only saying that because i love you.

have fun entering the crone stage of life. it means you get to be wise and all-knowing and respected and honored and:
you get to wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit you.

ok. done for now.

if you go red hat society on me, everything that we ever had will end and I will completely eliminate you from my version of the blogmunity. But I'll keep you on MySpace... not a threat, but just something to think about.....
