PMS and no Chocolate?

I know I said a while back that I wasn't going to fight the monthly hormonal swing that causes undeniable cravings, and that I wasn't going to beat myself up if I gave into them here and there...

but I just realized that this may be the first month I've gone thru the PMS cycle and NOT eaten chocolate. None. Zero... and I really feel ok right now... which is pretty cool!

Now, bear in mind that I dreamed of creamy vanilla lattes and huge chocolate ice cream sundae's all last night and woke up wondering how I didn't have hot fudge and whipcream all over my face. But since it was just a dream... I bear no guilt for my cerebral indescressions!!! HOORAY!

I love the fact (sarcasm here) that at nearly 30 years old I still get two zits, in the same place, every freakin' month when I'm PMSing. One at my hair line and one on my chin. Sometimes they're small... more often they're huge hulking buhemoths of puss filled irritated folicle and they piss me off... and it seems that my chocolate consumption (or lack there of) has very little influence on their appearance... because right now the chocolate hasn't happend and yet, still the zits appear.

Oh... and a note to the makers of the "Playtex Beyond" tampon that I just heard a radio commercial for this morning: Its a TAMPON. We know its a TAMPON. We are not idiots, we've been using tampons for generations!!! Nothing you can do to a tampon is going to make it "Beyond" any other tampon on the market.... whoopdeedo you put it in a fancy new aplicator so our dainty fingers don't have to come in contact with our dirty little naughty bits while putting the glorified and insanely expensive BLOOD SPONGE into our vaginas!!! We're still gonna have to touch 'em to get the sucker out!!! "Beyond" what? "Beyond" the inevitable mess that happens when we menstruate (hmmm... nope!) "Beyond" the absorbancy so we don't have to make our ritual trek to the restroom every couple of hours to change the soaked one out? "Beyond" WHAT??? Cripes...

Fuck Tampons... if you've never heard of an "Instead Cup" find them... try them... you'll never go back to tampons. I swear... oh and YES... you have to touch your dirty little naughty bits to get them in and out... but if you aren't comfortable touching your OWN naughty bits... you have other issues dear.

oooh... hey... there it is... PMS BITCHYNESS is ON!!! Yippeee!!!

(someone warn my all male-coworkers...) :D
