Here's the deal. "Normal" me could give a rat's butt-cheeks about two young gals making fun of me. "Normal" me could give a knat's anus about my age. That post below....THAT came outa nowhere.
On Monday, I was chipper and happy as a clam. Tuesday, I discovered a spider in my bathtub and and took insanely perverse pleasure from squishing it. Why? Because he dared to be in my space. Later I brought my full weight down on Jake's toe because he was wrestling with me over the shotgun seat in the car.
Wednesday and Thursday I cried so hard my eyes swelled shut after reviewing my life's accomplishments.
I can't get the temperature in here regulated. One minute it's cold. And the next I'm throwing off my clothes and opening all the windows. I'm making everyone around me (all men) miserable and on my pissy days....(hate to say it) I enjoy it.
This morning I woke up sweating like a WWF wrestler. Off came the clothes. Standing in the open door way at 6:50 am, in 40 something degree weather....realization fell on me like a friggin baby grand outa the sky.
oh HELL no! I'M IN FULL BLOWN MENOPAUSE!
This can't be good. I want STRONG fuggin hormones. And I want them NOW! Or things are gonna get ugly. Ok....uglier.
PS. before and after pics of the foyer that took me 2 months to finish are posted at

I had to remake the blog because the old one wouldn't upgrade. You can tell I did it by how crappy it looks. LOL!
Ya know what it is don't cha'? They're scairt of my menopause.
Actually, that's pretty smart of them because what I've figured out is...Menopause is akin to the Incredible Hulk. One minute you're all sweet and nice...next thing ya know, you puff up like a blow fish, start sweatin' and get nasty as hell.

Crabby,
These next couple of years will indeed test Bob's love and patience!
But you are so crazy anyway, that he may not notice a thing...
Your 55?
Pam, let me say this...
There are 25 year olds that can't hold a candle to you!
You are very beautiful, and you have an ass-kickin bod..
Bob is one lucky bastard!
You know where I am headed right now don't you?...Hahahaha...TH's
Milky, you should be extra sweet to her. HEY! What are you doing with that boot? Don't you dare throw......OW!
Cazzie, a potato in it's jacket? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha! Between you and Gareth I'm pickin up all kinds of good phrases.
Gab, 9 years? How long does this last? EEK! I'm gonna end up in the slammer for sure.
jyflol, denial is good. It worked for me on the big butt thing for a long time. I was happy as a clam with my Horton's and my DQ cones. LOL!
Miss, that SUCKS! Hot flashes are the worst! I get them now all through the day. It's hysterical when I'm in public somewhere because I pull my blouse open and blow down between my chesticles to try and cool off before I realize what I've done.
G-man, you are on SIZZLIN HOT operater, my man. You'll go far in the world of women-kind. (probably already have) LOL!
Barman, YES! Cuz I have a plan! No really this one is good. Not like the last two fiascos. THIS time, I'm totally on my game. (I hope)

Oh man...my mom was a beast when she did the whole menopause disaster! the hormones were a godsend...now, whenever she starts getting a little bitchy, it is a joke in the family to just say "mom, are you off your meds again?" She hates it...but, we think its funny...and thats what really ocunts right? hahahh

` I've never gone through menopause, but I have had tremendous hormone problems in my life.
` Let's just say, the hormone 'treatments' have been much worse than menopause (and generally involved psychoses and much vomiting), though my former problems were much more unpleasant than giving birth to a baby so I can't complain.
` Now I don't need any 'treatments', so I'm back to being sane again. (Don't worry, you'd barely know it by talking to me!)
` I do have some advice, though. Join the Y or something - be sure to work out every other day or every day that you can.
` I've found that it really makes me feel like life's good almost all the time, improved my ability to stay calm and think more clearly, plus it has helped with my coordination and gotten rid of certain chunks of my body that needed to be gone.
` Sounds like exactly what you need! ;)
` That's also how my mom deals with menopause - she's an aerobics instructor now!
Wmy, I live with two men. Husband and son and they both think it's hysterical to piss me off. They taunt and taunt till I blow a cork and then they laugh and get all pleased with each other. I fear one of them may get accidentally on purpose broken before this is over.
Manny, Do you remember when our Mother would get REALLY ticked? Multiply that by 10. That's what's become of your oldest sister. I'm a monster!
Sign, I love you. Truly.
Suze, I'm sorry. I was gonna just take a break for awhile because I was slammed with work. And I don't think I ever remembered to visit everybody and tell them I couldn't hold to it. LOL!
Josh, you don't have to say anything, kiddo. You're a guy and this subject is sooo far outa your comfort zone. LOL!
Seequin, my gosh! I'm sorry to hear you had those kind of problems so young. You give good advice for a such a young pup.
ebezp, you and G-man may darn well be my favorite people in the whole world today. LOL! I desperately needed a thumbs up. Thanks for that!
FIRST....heh heh heh.
