What to know what is hot?

Want to get something for your hubby or boyfriend or your lady for V-Day but not sure what to get? How about one of those digital picture frames, I love mine or a camera or a blue tooth headset but not sure which one? Check out this electronics blog and they might have the answer for you. If it is electric, new and awesome they are probably talking about it. Find the info you need about the latest gadgets.

Just take the music with you

I love MP3 players I think they are one of the best inventions. I still can not get over how you can put so much music on this little bitty device.  I figured out that I can load music on it and slip it in my pocket and walk all around the office and I don’t have to stop listening to my music.  I think our middle child is on her 5th player.  Now days you can get them for so cheap, I think that is why we get these kinds of things for our kids at younger and younger ages because they are easy to obtain and they do not break the back so we figure why not.  It would have been so awesome to have half of the things our kids have when we were young.

I love massages

My Matty is so sweet.  He called me at work yesterday and told me he got me surprise.  When I asked why he said it was “because I love you day”!  He got me a membership to massage envy.  I think you know what I am talking about because from what I understand they are all over the country.  I am so excited.  I am not a doctor, I only know what works for me.  I know getting massages help me manage my depression.  When we were in Asia over the summer and the difference in the time I sort of lost track of my medication while I was there.  Just about every other day we were getting a massage and I felt so much better.  I have read articles here and there that studies are starting to show getting massages help with the management of  depression.

I am so excited, I can get a massage a month and if I miss my massage for the month it rolls over to the next so I never lose a massage and that is very important.  If sometimes I feel I need more than one in a month I get them at a discount.  My first one is in the morning and I am so excited.  Now I have them programmed into my phone.  :)

Living with Mirena

It is now 1 week 2 days and I am still having a cycle.  My doctor called in a prescription to stop my cycle but at this point that has not even worked.  So I am on the 8th day and I am still having pain and I am still waiting for some type of relief.  They also gave me pain medication but am I just suppose to keep taking those?  One of them I can not take when Matt is not here because it really knocks me out and I am afraid I will not hear Lani at night if she needs me.  The other is fine, no negative affects but I can not take that every night.  You know those things can be addicitve and that is something I do not need to add to my list of things right now.  Matt leaves on Sunday so hopefully this will resolve very soon.  I will keep you posted.

If anyone else had or is having the same thing happening to them could you please let me know so I can figure out what to expect at this point.

Living with Mirena

No change since yesterday.  I can say this though, unlike the Nuva Ring I can not feel the Mirena at all, I am mean absolutely nothing.  I love that aspect of it.
