[not for the feint of heart]
Last night, E and I were sitting on the couch in our living room. We had gone out to see Twilight with friends, then to Starbucks for a post-movie warm drink (so why the kids ended up with frappucinos is beyond me …) We got home after 10. I was so tahd. I had a a tough day at work.
Because I am not all that traditional in my beliefs about “appropriate conversations with your kids,” I said, “E, I got my period today, and I have cramps.” She said, “oh, poor mommy.” And I said, “do you know when that means I will NEXT get my period?” She did some quick math in her head, and said, “oh! the 25th!” And I said, “of what month?” and she said, “Decemb … oh, that sucks.”
Beloved and I have been enjoying an increased intake of green beans lately. Law school is over, the stress of a first year at a new job is over, life is a little steady (even though he is in school …)
But we don’t like messy grean beans.
And so, on this Thanksgiving, we will be having some green beans in the traditional cream of mushroom soup with dried onions on top. And that is it.
Sorry, Tranny-head, for the boring green beans post. But I think it still counts.
Balance of Power 
Ugh, bad timing. 😦 Poor lady.
I have been very fortunate in that none of my lovers have had an issue with messy green beans, even if I did. And I was on Depo for a long time (no mess) so that helped. But post-childbirth things got messier for me so I try to avoid it those first few days. However, my ex was the dive-right-in-no-matter-what kind of guy. Blech. Made for less painful cramps, though.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Concur — I do not like messy green beans either, though I made an exception one Valentine’s day with similar bad timing. Blech
It totally counted. And I, too, hate the messy green beans despite the fact taht I, too, have had plenty of dudes who could care less about it. *shudder*
I’m with ya on the messy green beans. I remember that you commented on my TMI post about the divacup, and my experiences w/ IUD. I have to say, I’m seriously thinking about giving up on the IUD b/c it makes the messy green beans last too long.
It’s the first time I comment here and I must say that you give genuine, and quality information for other bloggers! Great job.
p.s. You have an awesome template . Where have you got it from?
