Surprise!

Surprise! I felt like it was time for a new blog design! Since this has become less like a PCOS/food blog and more like a personal one, I wanted to change it up! The trick was finding something I liked that really fit me. That's always been difficult - making sure the the design really reflected who I am, not who I want to be. To decide, I had to figure out who I am and what I'm about before I could find something. So who am I?

This has been a very thought-provoking question. I'm happily married 20-something redhead, with a zoo full of pets at home to keep me company. I love my dog, and can't wait to get another one. I love my birds, and will always have them - my home is never quiet and I love it. We are infertile, but fighting to roll with the punches and learn that if it happens, it happens. I'm a software programmer, so I'm a geek. I enjoy playing video games with Hubs and reading books. I love being an Aunt to all my nieces (and some new nephews!). I enjoy getting my hands dirty in my garden when I'm feeling up to it. I love food and cooking. I get excited when I find something in polka dots, argyle, plaid, damask or bubbles. I am attempting to make major life changes without stressing over them too much. I can't wait to have a home in the country, with goats and chickens! I could spend hours watching marine life at an aquarium. I LOVE FROGS AND FAERIES. Probably way tooo much. I have tons of them at home. My favorite colors are hot pink, teal and black. I like to be creative and unusual, even if it doesn't always work out right. I'm so happy to have been able to study different religions, because it allowed me to find myself spiritually. I'm a little crazy, and a little broken, but that's alright with me. It's a forever part of me. I repeat random movie quotes with friends and family - silly ones from movies like Evolution and Despicable Me. I enjoy yoga but don't do it often enough. We were married on our favorite holiday, Halloween! I love lilies, tulips, Gerbera daisies and daffodils. I could spend hours on word and math puzzles. I could spend all night watching the stars with Hubs. We can't wait to get out in the country so we can stargaze without light distortion.

I think changing your blog design is like changing your myspace page. Except it's slightly more stressful. After plenty of research and thought, and a little input from Hubs, My blog has been redesigned. I love it - it's a little girly, but maybe I have plans to become a little more girly in the future :) What do you think of the new look?

My First Giveaway!

My last post was about my decision to start a bakery. I'm very excited about it, and have been getting some fantastic reviews from my taste testers! My menu is small right now, but I am continually working on new recipes to expand it. I'm currently attempting to make a really good gluten free sandwich bread that doesn't have corn, potato, white rice, or soy in it. I hope to have it done by opening day, Nov 1. I know it's weird to open on a Tuesday, but I plan to be very busy celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary on Halloween by scaring little kids :) I figured one of the best ways to advertise the bakery was to have a blog giveaway. So that's exactly what I'm doing! One lucky reader will receive a $20 gift certificate to I Can't Believe It's Good For Me. The giveaway is open until midnight, Oct. 31. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Nov 1. Here are the rules: 1 - You must complete the mandatory entry. 2 - Post each entr...

Cortisol and Leptin...

Photo credit I feel so run down. I felt like this most of last week, and ended up taking 3 days off work due to it. This weekend was better - We went to Houston. We spent several hours enjoying the Downtown Aquarium on Saturday, and I enjoyed my PCOS symposium on Sunday. But as soon as I got in the car to head home, this feeling came back. It was so bad that I tossed my cookies less than an hour after we got on the road. This was definitely not from being car sick. I don't get car sick. I was tired all evening, had stupid issues with my homework, and finally went to be at 2-2:30. I realize that was late, and it could explain why I'm tired, but it doesn't explain the run-down, crappy feeling. I got plenty of sleep last week and still felt this way. I think it could be a cortisol issue. I have high cortisol levels. I know I haven't checked with a doctor, but from the information I received at the PCOS symposium, as well as years of research, it fits. I did some more re...
