At 17 I moved in with my older brother to attend university. Interestingly, the “issues” I faced living with him are eerily similar to living with my husband. Little explosion of messes left throughout the house, standards of cleanliness nowhere near as impeccable as my own…..hair shavings left in the sink….the list goes on. One afternoon, after an exhausting day of three classes and hanging with my friends enjoying coffee for hours on end, I came home to a complete disaster.

Yes, I am addicted. I indulge in my tall one-pump mocha, one-pump sugar free vanilla extra hot latte, well okay, once a day! Some days the great folks at the ‘bucks just don’t get it right.

This is a great example of the POWER OF PERCEPTION.

I am curious. Do you have blue periods? Personal I know. But please, if you in fact have blue periods email me (actually call your doctor first)! You alone could be the reason that TV and print commercials represent the womens’ period with blue liquid instead of well…..you know. See? There I go myself—censoring the reality of what it means to be a woman!
