Adventures in Emmieland

As I lay here with a hand warmer doing double duty on my abdomen I can't help but think about how sometimes we progress so much we're basically right back where we started. I bought these period panties b/c things have slowed down to the point of discomfort inserting a menstrual cup. I was a bit skeptical about its leakproof claims but figured it wouldn't hurt to try. As I researched them a bit I found out they are bamboo fiber with a charcoal lining that does the absorbing. I started laughing when I read that because I recall hearing that in ancient Egypt (I think it was Egypt) women used woven reeds for their periods. Back in the day before mass marketed pads and tampons women used rags. So after all the so called progress in feminine hygiene products I'm basically wearing a rag with a plant base. Sometimes I wonder why we have to go far just to realize that they were on to something ages ago. Sometimes we do best to simply refine what already exists instead of furi...

Now I may be a bit cynical but what on earth makes people think banging on a strangers door to tell them about the importance of Easter is a good idea or even remotely helpful? I can not stand random people at my house and random people who insist that I am obviously ignorant of  the true way because I don't share their faith badgering me to attend their services well I am highly likely to never step foot in any of whatever type of church they are representing. It's so off putting.  Two women stopped by the other day trying to convince me to attend a Jehovah's Witness service. I told them I was catholic so thanks but no thanks and that did nothing to get them off my porch. Instead they tell me I simply have to come and hear the real truth. I swear whoever thought up this style of evangelism  should have suffered serious consequences. Whatever happened to show not tell?

Saturday was awesome! Mind you I was a nervous wreck which seemed odd since it's not like Das and I just got together but still it signified yet another era in our relationship. I had planned to wear the necklace his mother gave me but decided that there was no day more fitting to wear my collar than the day we got married, again. His parents showed up early because good grief I've only seen them late once in the last two years and it shocked us so much we thought something had happened to them. One of the students from my RCIA class showed up unexpectedly and it was good because she was our official photographer.  Due to the angle she shit the ceremony from I have now seen my booty way more than I ever had before. The first I thing I thought at seeing the pictures was I am quite cute, the second was I am also rather round, and the third was my butt is huge. Then I went back to being cute, lol. Das vetoed my green dress, he liked it but not as well as the cinnamon coloured ...

I'm excited about tomorrow, well later today. We have our rings, I have a sorta modest dress and Das got a haircut. Nothing says serious like a fresh haircut. Hell the man didn't get one for his job interviews, lol. Someone at his job told him he looks like a rock star. If he's a rock star then I guess I'm his groupie. Hmm wonder what the job of a group is anyway. I'm starting to fade, finally. I washed and curled my hair this afternoon. Actually fell asleep with the dryer bonnet on, all that delightful warmth is seductive. I think peanut butter and jelly sandwich on raisin bread with a side of applesauce is a perfectly reasonable dinner. I was going to post a picture of my awesome "never too old for Micky mouse" tee but I haven't figured out how to do it on my tablet. Oh well it's really cute.

I am the proud owner of a washer & dryer! Sounds like a little thing until you have to traipse across the city to find a decent laundromat and spend ridiculous amounts of money, not to mention getting sick from all the germy children running about. The weirdest thing at the laundromat though, the second time I went I had no less than 4 people asking me how to use the machines. I must look competent, not that I was but I looked it. I also ended up sweeping the floor because there was no one on duty and the dust and discarded dryer sheets were getting to me. Das says I have issues, lol. I just like my environment to be tidy is that so bad? I was listening to sixth harmony(maybe fifth harmony, I don't know) and there is one girl with the oddest voice. I can't quite decide what is so odd about it but something is just off. It's not unpleasant just strange. Of course the same could be said of me so whatever. I have nothing to wear is something I don't think I'm...
