First off, THANK YOU so very much for all of those kind comments of support and cheer. (I’ve missed you all. And you guys made me miss you that much more!) As for migraine stuff — I’ve gone through several specialists over the years, cat scans, MRI’s, and have tried a multitude of preventative drugs — from meds that control epilepsy and anti-anxiety to beta blockers. You name it and I’ve probably been on it.

I come from a long line of migraine sufferers on my dad’s side. One such ancestor (grandpa) met an insomniac (grandma) and decided to have 10 children with her. The result? Alot of my aunts, uncles and cousins have either one problem or another. And a few of us lucky ducks got BOTH! But my dad has sworn that his migraines decreased once he hit 40. I cannot WAIT to turn 40! I also can’t wait for menopause as I’ve heard that will help with the insomnia. (I’ll be the only chick you know that’s happy about “night sweats” and “hot flashes.”)

In the meantime, I’m thinking I need to change my strategies and fix the sleeping issue first. And thanks for all of the great suggestions. I’ve made some notes and started researching avenues based on your feedback.

I promised in the last post that I’d quit wit da whinin’. And I’m going to deliver…

Check out the dude in this ad. Um yeah, he makes me want to buy that costume! Oh baby. You’re a heavenly buffet of manliness. (Um. No. Not really.)

I just have one question: does the roll of quarters he’s shoved down his pants come with the costume? Or is an aspiring CHiPs officer on his own when attempting to flaunt a “Hi. I’m sorta happy to see you” semi-perky penis? And if the coinage is included, does it come with some really strong tape to keep it in its place? (Preferably, tape that doesn’t rip out a bunch of the leg hair/skin?)

I think tape would be needed. What if the coins got loose and tumbled down to the floor? The poor dude would lose $10, his bulge, AND his self respect all in one sweep. Or what if the bulge came lose and the guy met someone he really WAS happy to see? There would be two bulge!

Some horney, drunk girl would be mighty disappointed once those pants would come off… Especially if she saw quarters taped to the guy’s thigh. But on the upside — at least she’d have enough change for any parking meters/candy machines…
