T-minus 11 days and counting!

In 11 days, we make one of the biggest changes of the year. We are moving into a bigger apartment and gaining a roommate. I'm still really looking forward to it.

I'm excited about the kitchen. I'm going to start working on my cookbook again - PCOS friendly recipes that are also allergen free. I've got my entire support group coming up with dishes they want to see. My goal is to have it out and purchasable before Thanksgiving. We'll see if I can pull that off. I have taste testers and photographers set up, so I really just need to create the recipes!

I'm also happy that I will have a dedicated space for my laptop, so I can start working from home. This'll allow me to do more for my PCOS support group, work on side projects for extra cash, and blog more. But... I'm also going to have trouble getting around to working because I'll be living in a house with two guys that love playing video games. Ones that are really excited when I play as well. I'll make it work.

I had an appt with my psychiatrist last week. I told him that I was concerned that the fun I've been having lately was related to a manic episode. I haven't felt normal in such a long time that I don't know what the difference between normal and manic is anymore. I'm not having any of the classic manic issues, like hyperactivity, racing thoughts, etc. But I do feel that I've been impulsive. It's really hard to learn to "live in the moment" and be bipolar. I never know if it's the start of mania or just being spontaneous. This move idea has all gone down in the last month, so that's pretty impulsive. But doc says that as long as I don't get to the point where I'm so focused on a video game that I skip sleep or work, or I'm not impulse spending away my paycheck, or getting violent, I should be ok. And I can always call him if I think something is wrong. And I've got Hubs to help watch. The new roomie is learning about my crazy side lately, because I was out of meds for a few days and I started acting a little different. One of the things I really like about the roomie is that if Hubs is being a pain, the roomie backs me up without my need to ask. I'm hoping that the meds I'm on will work for a long while and I can really enjoy myself this year. Here's to hoping.

I've been eating pretty well, and so have the guys. I just have to watch and make sure that their scrawny asses don't lose any weight! So far they are ok. Roomie is glad that I'll have lots of room to bake, so I'll fatten them up with sweets :)

I've got so much more to talk about but not enough time to type. I'll definitely have a new apartment update as soon as we move!

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

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...
