Another juicy itchy collection of Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 3:37AM 
It's that time again! I know half of you are still walking off the hotdogs and beer you drank, and half of you are wondering why the internet went out to lunch without telling you, and the other half of you are thinking "this girl really sucks at math", but what better way to get back at 'er than with some random thoughts? I'll even be happy if they're about hotdogs and beer.
No, really.
So you know what to do - grab that button, blurt out whatever's on your mind, and link up with Mr. Linky! Let's begin!
I know I said I'd never post about my uterus again, but this isn't a WHOLE post about it so it doesn't count. Anyway, my bloodwork came back and it "indicates that I am heading into early menopause". Oh. My doctor wants to do an ultrasound to rule out any other causes like (fun!) a cyst, because, as she told me repeatedly, "you're very young for this".
I think that's where the "early" part comes in, doc.
I'm trying not to let it get me down, I could still get pregnant. FoN told me that there's apparently a test they can do to see how many eggs I have left. At least...according to Grey's Anatomy, there is. I'm pretty sure that's sound medical advice, right there.
On a totally unrelated note, I bet this organic veggie-fruit juice that hubby bought for the detox/cleanse would taste REALLY good with vodka.
Why, why do people insist on sending me multiple faxes encouraging me to 'go green' with refillable toners & inks? Am I allowed to spam-fax them back telling them how many trees they just murdered in their 'green' ambition?
I didn't notice that we were out of formula until it was time to put my son to bed, and therefore too late to drag him to the store to buy more. So he got a bottle of (watered down) juice instead. Parenting FAIL. But hey, it was an organic veggie-fruit blend.
(There may or may not have been vodka in it).
Today the 'call-in' topic on the radio on my way home from work was "Do you have a problem with the man in a relationship making more than the woman?".
Um - seriously? I almost slammed on the brakes because clearly the DeLorean was approaching 88 miles an hour. This is still 2009, right?
Then I put my own head through the windshield and gouged my eyes out in anguish because some squeaky-voiced prepubescent girl phoned in to offer her sage opinion: "Um, I guess I'm old-fashioned but, um, I think it's like, okay if the girl makes some money but she shouldn't make as much as the man".
Fuck me. REALLY? Have fun slinging burgers for the rest of YOUR life, sweetie. Jeebus.
Although yesterday, the call-in topic was "Who do you think Archie will ask to marry him, Betty or Veronica?". Obviously I need a different radio station.
Or a strategically placed bomb.
You know how sometimes it's too soon to shave your pits again but they feel kind of furry so you want to, but you know if you do you'll get razor burn and they'll be itchy?
Yes, I have angst about shaving my armpits. Shut up.
Anyway, I chose the wrong path. Itchy.
Saw the new Star Trek on a date (!) with hubby last week. It was awesome. Why do all the best ones seem to involve time travel somehow?Oh, no, wait. There was the one with the whales. Never mind.
And that's a wrap, people! Good job, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning!
Okay, I won't. I'd make a terrible Dread Pirate Roberts. But I'm an excellent host...so let's get this party started!
EDIT - Frikkin Frakkin grumble grumble RAAAWWWWWRRRRRRR FUCKING MR. LINKEEEEEEEE! So sorry, folks. Hopefully he comes back, but til then do what you resourceful others have been doing and leave your link in the comments.
Bah.

I think you would make an awesome Dread Pirate Roberts, but just watch out for the ROUS.
Oh and I think Mr. Linky is missing. Here is my RTT for the week
http://3bedroombungalow.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts-my-heathen-kids.html
Happy RTT.
Goodmorning, nope not first, I see Kat is up and writing away. It's only 650 in the Am here in my world.
Now yes there is a test to see how many eggs you have left, but it's not like the number of eggs it's more like the measure of the hormones that you have. It's the same test they used to tellyou you were in early menopause. FSH or FHS I think.
From pit shaving to Star Trek, that is pretty random! I still have not seen Star Trek yet, I need to go!
*snicker* I made my 14-year-old watch The Princess Bride, and sheesh, he bitched and moaned about watching a movie with the words "princess" and "bride" in the title. When it was over, he was like, "Gee, that's one of the best movies I've ever seen."
If it happens that you are perimenopausal, yes, you can still get pregnant. But you can also come hang out over at my blog - I have a more or less on-going pity party about it. Miserly loves company - and serves wine and snacks, too.
Mr. Linky is in absentia, so here's my post for the week:

Oops - that last one should be me; it goes to a long defunct blog.
Nice random thoughts today! I have the same problem with the arm pits, especially in the summer when people will actually see them. I don't know which one is worse, the bright red, itchy rash or fuzzy.
So Tuesday and so random I just don't know where to comment.
And Greys Anatomy, eh, I'd trust House though.
Easily one of the best Princess Bride references ever on a blog...NICE!
Definitely time for a radio station change.
And Archie would totally ask Veronica to marry him, she would say (Archie is too broke) and then he would ask Betty a few years later.
And the whale trek movie - best ever.
Good to know that radio is taking on those difficult social issues.
. . . there is a test - FSH - it will check your ovarian reserve . . . BUT that is only the beginning . . . there are so many others tests after that!
No linky yet??

Mr. Linky!! Where fore art thou, Mr. Linky?
I'm old old fashioned, I think a man should make all the money and I should sit home cleaning up puke and fending off angry children with a broom stick. Well...at least that's the way it worked out. Do people still actually read Archie comics?
I'm playing along. Linky needs to check his priorities, where the hell is he?

I call bullshit on the early menopause. They told me that last year as well. I think it's the new diagnosis of choice.
They all get together and go to this bullshit convention, and are given a glossary of diagnosis for the year, for symptoms they can't solve, so they can all be on the same page and seem like they know what they're doing.
Itchy armpits, DeLoreans, Dread Pirate, watered down juice, detox cleanse tonic w/vodka. And slinging burgers?! Love it all!
I'm not going to say it, I'm not going to say it, I'm not going to say it.....ummmmm, No Linky? Oh well, maybe it's in some kind of cyberspace timewarp. Damn Mr Linky!
You knocked us dead with another great RTT!
Yay for date night. Sorry about your uterus but I think the Grey's Anatomy story is right and you can count how many scrambled eggs you have left so hopefully you're good.
I've done the out of formula thing close to bedtime and I gave my kid milk. Then she didn't puke and loved it so we switched her over to organic milk at 10 months vs the required one year. She's the second kid anyway so she's fine..

I hate Mr Linky, he's a jerk and we're not currently talking.
i think linky is missing..since its been two weeks since i have written in my blog..i will bite today since i have some random thoughts.
as for your uterus, email me and give me some background, i may have some natural advice for you or direct you to a specific type of massage therapist in your area that works with these kinds of things.
Whaaa....poor Mr L...he's been so sick lately.
I'm with ya on the premenopausal stuff.

I know exactly what you mean about the pit-shaving. There is nothing more satisfying than shaving an armpit full of appropriately long hair and avoiding ingrown hairs. Or razor burn. Magical.
Could you kill me before 11? I have a meeting I'm not looking forward to. Thanks!
I got the same diagnoses when I was 38; it took 10 years before I was finally done.
Change the radio station fast. Those topics are bullshit.
Are they recommending formula after a year now? So the pediatricians have been kissing the formula makers asses.
Mr. Linky needs to get his poop in a group. Heh heh.

I went through menopause once at 18 and once at 24 and it's a BITCH. Good luck with that one, and keep us posted.
I can't get Mr. Linky to work right. He breaks my heart.
I, too, have armpit angst. Leg angst, too.
