26 Things About Me

So in order to keep you all entertained while we wait for my period to finish (and hopefully moving past the "am I pregnant?" posts) I thought I'd write a post that shares 26 things about me.

1. I have short hair. I recently chopped my hair off to a point that I can proudly say I have short hair. I enjoy that my appearance is different than most females. I love that I have the confidence to do what most females wouldn't even consider.

2. I am debt free. We are debt free. My husband and I paid of $80000 of debt in three years. Yah, we pretty much rule!

3. I finally am at a job where I feel like I could be building a career. I'm working at a mortgage brokerage.

4. I am sewing again. For my birthday this year my husband got me a sewing machine. I have really loved making crib quilts.

5. I recently completed a chakra course. It was something I did entirely for me and it has been life changing.

6. I love Matt & Nat bags and Miz Mooz Shoes.

7. I absolutely love raspberry bubble tea and sushi. Oh, and red velvet cupcakes. And nonfat green tea lattes.

8. I have stopped weighing myself daily. I'd been doing it for years, and one day I just stopped.

9. I recently got a Library card and I am loving it!

10. I seem to have recently acquired a love for owl themed decor. Especially baby decor.

11. For my birthday this year I got a tarot card reading done - very cool, will do again.

13. Last weekend I treated myself to two new pairs glasses. Yeah for finally having prescription sunglasses!

14. Yesterday my husband and I found a REALTOR that we love and trust... hopefully house shopping soon!

15. I love finding random information on the internet - especially things to clarify my random thoughts.

16. I don't wash my face before going to bed - it's something I really need to work on changing.

17. I love my family. I have a Dad, a Mom, and a younger brother who is getting married about two months! 

18. I really love food, cooking, and new recipes - but really hate cleaning the kitchen.

19. I'm a spreadsheet nut - any information that I can organize into tables to calculate results thrills me... ya I know...

20. I love little details - little things mean so much to me - sometimes I loose grasp on the bigger picture.

21. I really, really love my husband. I am IN LOVE with him more and more each day.

22. I hope to travel more one day. 

23. I only own one vehicle - we've done without two for at least 5 years - we'll see what baby brings (and maybe new house).

24. In university I took a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Linguistics and a minor in Psychology.

25. My best friends don't live in the same province as me (yah... I'm Canadian... eh).

26. I really want to have a healthy child with my husband.

Hope you've learned a little more about me.

Today I kinda hate my life... but I love sushi...

So I wasn't sure if I was experiencing implantation bleeding or if my period was coming...


It was my period.


Today I kinda hate my life. I feel so defeated. I feel like a failure. I wonder when it's ever going to be my turn. 


How do women and couples do this for months or years on end? I'm exhausted. Every month we baby dance and baby dance. Every month I experience something in my body that I've never experienced before. Every month my cycles seem to be doing something different. Every month I hope and pray that this will be the month that we conceive. Every month I truly feel that I'm pregnant.


Just defeated...


So today I had a huge cup of coffee and a huge plate of sushi. If I drank, I'm pretty sure that I'd be drunk.


How do women and couples deal with this?
