i'd rather have a penis

In honor of the horrible week that every woman goes through each month I am dedicating this post to all of the women going through the hormonal disaster called their period.  There are all kinds of names and phrases for it but whatever you wanna name it, just know we all understand.



Here is a brief list of names.
TOM (time of the month) The curse, Shark Week,  Aunt Flo came to town and she is ragging on my ass, The rag, Riding the cotton pony, Crimson tide, Flag of Japan, The red sea, Busted Lip, Mother Nature, Mr. Rose, Crime Scene in my pants, Dexter (named after the show about a serial killer obsessed with blood) Cherry pie festival, Communists in the fun house, Reboot as in reboot of the reproductive system, Ovum independence day, Miss Scarlett, The red badge of Courage, Menstro Monster, Punched with the red fist club, closed for Maintenance, Out of Commission, The British are coming, Saving Private Ryan because its a scene of carnage and suffering and The great leaky week.


Period humor

One day a man wanted his wife to run to the store to pick up some cigarettes. Gritting her teeth his wife drove to the store. Their finances had been lacking lately and she wanted to save a little money, so when she got there she asked the clerk to help her find the cheapest cigarettes possible. When she returned home she had loose tobacco and rolling papers. Her husband asked her why she hadn't picked up prerolled cigs. She told him that it would be far cheaper if he just made his own. The next week his wife asked her husband to run to the store to pick up some tampons. Grinning her husband jumped in the car and drove to the store. When he returned home he handed his wife a bag of cotton balls and some string. "Well honey," he said. "its gonna be a lot cheaper if you just make your own."




When I was in 5th grade and my sister in fourth, my Mother thought it would be a good idea to kill two birds with one stone and speak to both of us about the the curse that we should come to expect.
She didn't want to scare us as her mother did her and her sisters, so, she tried to spin it by adding that our breasts would blossom at the same time. My little sister was silent and listened while I asked all the questions I could think of.
After my Mother answered every question I had, my sister examined my mother and me for a moment and said... "I'd rather have a penis."



How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb? One.
ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT.
And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.
But if they did, by some miracle, find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN. WHY??? BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! THE HOUSE!!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS...



The 10 Definitive Signs of PMS are:
  1. Everyone around you has an attitude problem.
  2. You're adding chocolate chips to your cheese omelet.
  3. The dryer has shrunk every last pair of your jeans.
  4. Your husband is suddenly agreeing to everything you say.
  5. You're using your cellular phone to dial up every bumper sticker that says, 'How's my driving? Call 1 800 ****"**.'
  6. Everyone's head looks like an invitation to batting practice.
  7. You're convinced there's a God and he's male.
  8. You're counting down the days until menopause.
  9. You're sure that everyone is scheming to drive you crazy.
  10. The ibuprofen bottle is empty and you bought it yesterday.



Quick question? How many of you have a little brother that you caught dissecting a pad or a tampon when they were younger? I know a guy that used the tampon tubes as telescopes!



Here is a link to a funny article that a woman wrote about her period. I laughed my ass off when I read it. ENJOY!!!

Heres some videos!





But all fun and jokes aside, your period is an important thing and I'm sure we all thank goodness it arrives on time every month! Whether you are sexually active or not that period is a happy thing! Well unless you want children, in that case your SOL. Cramps suck, so if your a guy give your sweetie a cuddle session and buy her some chocolate, or midol. Really they are like the same thing. Periods suck but with the proper treatment your period may not be as bad. Good luck with your very own Shark week ladies!!!

pickles, a purple gorilla & an orange headless cat

I suppose its time for a random post about my life rather than all of these blog posts as a part of the photo challenge and such shenanigans. So to get you caught up and just in case you don't want to read all of this I am a taboo champion, I got a new job and I have a puppy. Two of those are important things and one is just a fantasy. A lame and pathetic fantasy but come on, if your reading this then you obviously know me well enough to know that, that is my description. Lame, pathetic and really, really cool. Did I mention pretty? I'm kinda-ish sure I'm pretty too. Hmm people tell me to be confident so lets go with gorgeous not just pretty. I am gorgeous, see a definitive statement. I can be confident. But I digress. 

My new job that I started is a riot. So entertaining, full of fun and exciting things. Okay, that was a lie. I get to sit in a classroom for the next 7 weeks learning about how to take a phone call. Instead of paying attention I just sketch in my notebook. I have close to 10 pages of amazing doodles and sketches that look like an 8 year old drew them. I am skilled, its true. Good news though, I received a nickname at work "Professor." Don't ask me where that came from because I don't know...At least the people I work with are fun! I learned today that mixing Jager and pickle juice is supposed to be some delicious drink. Sounds disgusting to me but I guess I will have to try it before I judge. 


My other big news was that I got a new puppy. She is a mini Dachshund, red in color and about 13 weeks old right now. She has razor sharp teeth, kind of like needles and she has a fondness for biting my nose. Its sweet really in a painful and rude sort of way. She has latched onto my nose ring several times hitting a nerve and sending me into a little bit of a faint a couple of times in the early morning hours. Its endearing in a sarcastic way. But really I love her! She is so cute and probably one of the best cuddlers I have ever met. Her other incredibly annoying biting habit is when she latches on to my shoelaces or pant legs and goes to town. She has untied and mangled many a pair of my pants and shoes. Her name is Daisy May. I named her Daisy, Megan added the May. It has caught on and now her full name is Daisy May. She joins the ranks of our other two Dachshunds, Doxi and Dora( full name Adorabelle,) cliche and probably nauseating as those names are we always stick with D names. Anyway, Daisy is still young and learning not to eat everything so we got her a couple of toys, her favorites so far: a purple gorilla and an orange headless cat. When she isn't eating shoes, books, barbies, my feet, my pants, my socks, my nintendo controllers, cords, walls, doors, pencils, belts, carpet, or pillows then she is chewing on her toys.  



I take her everywhere with me but work! she rides on my shoulders in the car! 

 I suppose thats all you need to know to be caught up on me, well except for the taboo skills and champion title I have acquired, but thats a story for another time...

DAY 12


Today I am posting on the word "hands." About a year ago I was sitting in the car holding hands with my two cousins, this was before the new baby was born. I whipped out my cell phone and took a picture of our hands together and it has been a picture that I have always cherished!

DAY 10

Nature is the word of gratitude for today. I decided to not go with the obvious photo on this one so the nature that I am thankful for is a Human's Nature. Our natural environment is that of the office or work space. All we do it seems is go to work and come home in an endless cycle. The deer have the forest, the bees have the flowers and we have cubicles. 


So here is the wild cubicle jungle


and here is me goofing off at work with my android name tag!

DAY 9

My gratitude today goes to an inspiring person. Actually it goes to 2 very inspiring people. Megan Greenwood and Ned Greenwood. 2 people that inspire me to be a good person, to be caring, generous, kind, silly, patient, empathetic and hard-working. There are many people in my life that have inspired me but these two have had a large impact on who I am today. They have taught me many of the great lessons I have learned on growing up. I love them both and feel grateful for them every day.

DAY 8

I'm so many days behind on actually posting these photos, I decided it really doesnt matter if I post them a couple a day or once a week. At least Im gonna finish the challenge! My gratitude today is for my Favorite Color! My favorite color is Aqua Seafoam Green, when I was a little kid I fell in love with the crayon that was named that. It is also known as mint or mermaid but I prefer the longer name. I collect things of this color, purses, shoes, clothes, jewelry, decorations. You name it I have it! I am grateful to Crayola for opening my eyes to the beauty of this color!

DAY 7

The word for today's picture of gratitude is actually two! Something Funny. So I thought I would post up a picture that is a pretty recent one. It was a good night and we were having banana splits at my house. Rhiannan and I filled our mouths with whipped cream and made faces and took pictures all night. It was a blast and we laughed the whole time. Nan is a little girl that I love a ton and so I am grateful to her and all the laughter she brings to my life!

letter to santa

Dear Santa,
Good tidings and wishes to you sweet old jolly fat man! May your rolls jiggle in red velvet swathed happiness! Thank you for the amazing gifts last year and of course for the return of the candy cane, only the best candy invented EVER! I hope your cottage in the pole has withstood global warming and that you stay warm and dry next to your elf fed fireplace. Hmm that sounds like your burning elves, keep the little buggers safe and only burn sweet smelling wood. They need to work in the factory and it would be a waste to just throw them in the fire. Toy making must have been tough in this economy but I think that with some budget cuts you must have been able to create all of the gifts that children asked for this year. Last year I wrote to sweet Mrs. Claus and asked her for a gift, I also talked to you in person wondering about the same gift. You both assured me that when the time was right my gift would come. IM DONE WAITING!!! The time is right! I believe in you Santa! Please don't make me regret putting my faith in you! Please oh please bring me my perfect man! I have been dating dozens of men and none of them have been perfect for me! Please don't make me wait any longer!!! If you bring me the perfect man I swear I will leave out carrots for the reindeer and tons of cookies/Milk for you. Think of it as a little reward for making someone's dreams come true. Thank you sooo much for being awesome. Enjoy the season and your flight, if you need an extra scarf due to weather problems don't hesitate to wake me when you get here with my man, I know it can get chilly out there.

Love, Jamie Rae

P.S. Rudolph! I heard Mrs. Claus put you on a diet, if you make sure I get a man I will sneak you some cookies too!

Camel Drool Kisses
by Jamie!

Your sweet and your kind,
your attentive and and most definitely hot
but, being with you,
 I realized there's something your not.
When man was first made
you were given a tool
now you think with no brain 
and you act like a fool
up the shirt, down the pants
its all rub and all grab
Im sorry Mr. Playboy
but your lovings kinda drab
I got bored and I got slobbered
rolling my eyes at your "skills"
you pump up the ante
that shudder? its not chills.
im disgusted by your lips
they turn me off, my face getting eaten
like being kissed by a camel
your drool cant sweeten
the grossed out look that has crossed
my unguarded face.
oh shit. can I run? 
Where the fuck is my mace?
Im done with this date
whats my excuse?
gotta run, thanks for dinner
Im tired gotta cruise!
Now Im home safe in my bed
my face freshly washed
happy to be home
new budding romance firmly squashed!
No more dates, I need less fun
give me a romance book any day
its way better than real life
theres no camel kiss drool and its not too risque.
I sink into the covers 
turning page after page
a sigh, and loving warmth
true love is taking center stage.

DAY 6

The theme word for this picture of gratitude is that of books. The picture I have selected is just me reading a book because I love books and I'm thankful for the time to read and money to buy books. I have a nook so I do have the virtual books but I will always love the sweet smell of books old and new. There is something magical about having a book in your hands.
