I am a MAN...therefore I have NO CLASS...**

HEYO BLOG!


And now a weather report for NEVER NEVER LAND:  Incredible!  Clear Blue, Sunshine, and 80 degrees....


UHHHH....So I made an honest mistake.  


I'm a little anxious the IN LAWS are coming to town, so I won't get to see my friends as much as I would like.  So..on Thursday I hosted a STITCH and BITCH from 1030am-130pm.  I scheduled it at the last minute mostly so that I could see my girlfriends before I go MIA for a few weeks.  Because it was so last minute only a few people showed up, and they could only stay for a short period of time.


So....here is where the mistake comes in....I scheduled it during another person's event.  The honest truth is I really didn't think.  I sadly declined the invite because I was having my hair done that morning (which I had no idea how long it was going to take) AND my reasons for not attending otherwise has nothing to do with the individual host and more to do with my lack of interest in the product being sold at the event.


My character was attacked via facebook later on that evening.....this specific post touched on my lack of CLASS for my actions of hosting a event at the same time inviting the same people, and also indicated that I may suffer from immaturity....


My response to the post was as followed: YIKES...I realize this is directed at me....I actually did have a hair appointment today- and I was reckless in not respecting your event....my sincerest apologies...and to be a little defensive I have reached out to you on numerous occasions and have obtained absolutely no feedback....as far as my age- NICE....


Of course my response was not answered...so perhaps this individuals agenda was achieved and no further action was necessary.  However, this did not eliminate my particular frustration with this particular situation....


The Definition of CLASS via WEBSTER concedes that CLASS is defined at Social Rank; especially HIGH social rank, it pertains to High Quality; Elegance, in reference to a group, set, or kind sharing common attributes.


You can imagine my relief when I realized that many of the people that I seem to be surrounded by consider themselves of HIGH RANK, I am not this SPECIAL.  I don't pretend to obtain HIGH QUALITY or ELEGANCE, and what's even more is that these folks and in specific one that made reference to my "CLASS" think they are in this category.  


I guess it all depends on what your version of class is....but I rather like the definition of CLASS according to Webster.  Luckily I have no specific RANK social, economic or otherwise, I am not a ELEGANT girl, I wear blue jeans and box for crying out loud....I am more simple.  Just a simple girl...with a uncomplicated MARRIAGE, a uncomplicated LIFE, and a HAPPY DISPOSITION...


So there you have it....(sigh of relief) I DON'T HAVE ANY CLASS....(GASP!)


And since I NEVER want to grow up and that is WHY I moved to NEVER NEVER LAND.....luckily for me I operate on a 'grade school' mentality....


And just one more thing regarding this "event" thing.  I host events at my house called STITCH and BITCH.  We even have a book, its called STITCH and BITCH.  (This basically defines STITCH and BITCH as a religion) ,*D


Because I am not exclusionary, I INVITE everybody and I tell people to invite whomever they want.  So far I have hosted one a month since June, and a few afternoon sessions during the week.  So...roughly 5/6.  


Some people come every time without fail.  Some people haven't come but say they will next time.  Some people have come and never came back.  Some people say they are coming and never have made it.  I never take people's attendance or lack there of personally, EVER.  


I am high enough in grade school to realize that what I am putting out there may not be what some people enjoy. And that is okay with me.  I hosted one at FORT RUCKER and one girl came.....needless to say I stopped hosting after that, mostly because I know how to take a hint.  


Its the same with my blog.  Some people like it, some people don't.  They don't have to read it.  I would have stopped writing it a long time ago if I don't get countless messages/feedback on how much it means to people or how much they like it.....and...it gives me great pleasure to create this imaginary world with cartoons about the funny things in life- and to poke fun at myself and share my thoughts....


It is absolutely amusing to me when people knock what I do.  I will admit sometimes it hurts my feelings (hey they say the strongest are actually the most sensitive), but after a small period of reflection I come to the same conclusion every single time....


The more you put yourself out there, the more you share, trust, and open up about, the more things will be available for people to attack and hate on...I share so much of myself because I am just looking for that human connection, it is my sincerest hope that we will find something in common, I trust so many people by putting "EVERYTHING" in my blog, because I want to forge meaningful relationships with "EVERYBODY",  and I OPEN up because its so much easier living a HONEST life.......


I always think, you never know how somebody is going to change your life, or teach you something, I would hate to miss out on such an opportunity.....


Next subject:




I got my labs back the other day.....


Let me just say that the information I am about to divulge has had a profound affect on my psyche, so I'm feeling a little sensitive about it, however that doesn't mean I can't poke fun at MYSELF....


It turns out that I really may in fact have knocked up Princess Peach and the countless other women that are getting pregnant around me.  


According the the gestation period Princess Peach conceived while the BOYZ were in the field and since her and I spent so much time together, I suspect she may be carrying my child.....


It turns out I have EXTREMELY LOW ESTROGEN.


So low that they ran some other tests to rule out early onset of menopause and various cancers of my lady parts.


Obviously this is upsetting news and has had me thinking and talking with my doctor about the WHY possibilities......


The reasons that she gave were that due to the fact that I was on the pill so long, my pituitary gland probably stopped producing estrogen because my body was receiving it from my daily dose of the birth control pill.


Another contributing factor is how messed up my pituitary gland is from all my thyroid trouble.


And....I suspect that my athletic background may have also contributed to this issue.  They say woman who are participate in extreme exercise or training tend to have lower levels of estrogen.  After spending years in the boxing gyms, surrounded by men, and training and exercising at a Olympic Level this is not a surprising effect....


Because of ADVOCARE I have really slowed down on my exercise, but I am going to slow down even more, no more super long bike rides and only moderate exercise from now on for me.


The Game Plan:  Get my blood drawn again on Tuesday to double check my thyroid, and start a progesterone challenge (this will hopefully be a GRAND INVITATION to MISS DOT.)  and as said above slow my roll on exercise.....


I am not going to lie, I am scared.  I don't want to be a lab rat in order to get pregnant, I have been down that road with my thyroid and it was horrible!  At the same time its disappointing that we have finally made the decision to have a baby and it turns out I'm broken.....


I am kinda excited about pumping my body with progesterone right when the IN LAWS come to visit.... 


STAY TUNED for some more interesting blogs....'MY JOURNEY on HORMONES while SIMULTANEOUSLY ENTERTAINING the IN LAWS'


Okay....I gotta go...sorry they aren't any cartoons...


Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife...**
