and
Nella at Skinny B---H!

Thank you so much ladies, I love your thoughts and comments on my blog. You all rock!

Seven things you don't know about me:

1. I just recently put my bellybutton ring back in. I got it done while a senior in college (so that'd be about 7 yrs ago) when I had lost a bunch of weight on WW. I took it out when I started to work on getting pregnant and while I had babies and such. I was wanting to get it pierced again, but figured I'd try the old hole just to see. Low and behold, it wasn't closed! Took a little wriggling, but I got a ring back in. I'm so happy, it's just one of those things that makes you feel a little sexier, you know?

2. I am scheduled for my 3rd (count 'em - 3!!) brazillian wax this week. My first was in early June. It was painful, but tolerable. The second one was a piece of cake compared to the first. I imagine the 3rd won't be too bad, either. I pay $55 each time, and that includes a healthy tip. I've said before that we live on a tight budget, but I think that's one thing that'll stay. Hubby likes it too much! Got questions about it? Ask. I'm not shy, I'll tell you.


3. Speaking of not being shy . . .WARNING - Don't read this paragraph if you don't want to read extremely personal info . . .I really, really want to go get a piercing down yonder. I've never done anything like that - heck, I don't even have tattoos. But I want a nether regions piercing. I've done LOTS of research, and know exactly what I want. I've never talked to Hubby about it. I know he'd like it, but I'd want to surprise him with it. I'm not sure how to figure out the logistics. I don't know, some day I'll make it happen. Got questions about it? Ask. I'm not shy, I'll tell you.

Phew, that was a lot of personal information, huh? Dang.

4. I DESPISE country music. Sure, I'm from Nebraska, and everyone listens to it, but I can't stand it. I don't mind the oldies, Johnny Cash and Chris Ledoux and even Garth Brooks, but any of the new stuff makes me want to vomit. Literally.

5. I'm about 1/3 of the way through my Master's degree. I started it when I was working a few years back because my employer paid for it. When I quit working to stay home with my kids, I didn't have the means to pay for it myself, so it's been on hold for a few years. If I end up working for that company again, I'll probably try to finish it. I only have 24 credit hours left, not much at all. I just need to have someone pay for it, because I can't.

6. My hometown is Western, Nebraska. You know when you're in college and people ask where you're from? I always said, "Western, Ne." They would go, "Oh, what town?" assuming that I was referring to the western portion of the state. I would have to say, "It IS a town, in the south eastern corner of the state." It got old really quickly.

7. Actually, I grew up on a farm 3 miles outside of Western. When it's just you and your younger brother dorkin' around on a farm for an entire childhood, you learn some crazy sh*t. Did you know you can hypnotize a chicken? I haven't done it for years, but it always worked when we did it as kids. Anyways, grab a chicken (a feat in and of itself) and hold the wings down so it can't flop all over and get all crazy. Lay it on the ground on its side, continuing to put pressure on the wings/head so it can't move too much. With your other hand, SLOWLY draw a line in the dirt in front of its face, starting a few inches above the head, continuing past the face, and then a few inches below the head. Let go, and it'll just lay there on it's side, which is completely unnatural for a chicken. I'm not sure how long it'll stay down, we always gave it a kick to get it up and moving again. I'm also not sure if it works for all breeds, we just did it to the pulletts we raised for butchering.

8. (I'm adding this one because I thought of it after the fact, and didn't want to delete any of my first 7!)

I have an IUD for birth control. I hear you ladies complain about your TOM and cramping and PMS'ing and all that crap, and I am SOOO thankful I don't have to deal with it. I got my IUD about a year and a half ago, and have totally stopped having periods and all things associated with them. Nothing, nada. I had to get this little plastic device inserted, and don't have to do anything with it for 10 years. Did you hear me?!? 10 YEARS!!! I honestly do not understand why everyone in this world does not use an IUD. You can have them taken out when you want to get pregnant, and your fertility returns in a day or two - a whole lot faster than if you just stopped taking the pill. Seriously. I don't get why you don't have one. Unless you're trying to get preggo, that is. Got questions about it? Ask. I'm not shy, I'll tell you.
