In love with Craig

I think Craigslist.com is just so incredible. Then again, I am the girl who was addicted to ebay up until...right now. And Im probably still in love with Ebay becuase I dont have a vehicle to pick things up around portland (I think the delivery service is sweet). I got these two precious gerbils off craigslist from some girl who just didnt want them anymore. And I gave her $10 for their tank and food. I think I should have talked her down to $5 because the tank was cracked and the food was rat/mouse food, but I felt bad since she was just giving the animals away and they were so sweet I would have paid for them as well. At any rate, Im now working to fix up the tank and give these gerbils all the spoilings of my long gone but not forgotten Comodus and Princess Powderfoot. Although my new gerbils are lesbians so they wont be eating their young anytime soon. Im going to keep the pets at work and let the kids name them so I will keep everyone posted on the name situation. Skylar (the guy in the science room) said that if the gerbils dont work out in my room then we can just feed them to his snakes. super gross.

DIVA ME

It has finally happened. The moment I have been waiting for since Erin Haley first brought the damn thing up to me. I got a menstrual cup. I really bought into it hook, line & sinker, too. Unbelieveable really how I just sing the praises of the DIVA cup although I have yet to even use it. Although last cycle I did try the disposable version (though slightly different) Instead. It was so fun. Honestly, my period was fun. And there was so much gore and blood it was really rewarding to finally see what I produce instead of just a giant dirty cotton ball. I liked seeing the blood just by itself, I think that made it seem less dirty to me and more like water or something else clean. At any rate, I got this cup thing online and am just on pins and needles waiting for the next menstration. I was so excited that I carried the damn thing around in my purse (inside it's special little pouch) and pulled it out in the middle of Hooters today so I could show it off to my boyfriend's friend. I AM THAT IN LOVE WITH IT. I dont even care if its socially gross, or actually gross, to pull the thing out during lunch, I want to shout the praises of the menstrual cup from the mountain tops. And now I am writing about it in this blog. Which is also nerdy. Go see Sin City. Its a great movie and looks just like the novels.
