not great shots above and below
but oops i don't really care.
just was in work out clothes that were form fitting.

over and over again, this theme rolls onward  in my life right now. i feel aligned, mostly positive, gracious and overall pretty happy.  there's been multiple times i wanted to sit and write this piece, but then there's this part of me that says "but what if things didn't work out as you said?" "what if you go broke?" "people will think you are tooting your own horn..."  but, honestly why do i care? this is me and if people get something from it, great. if not, also, great. same reason for me not going to use capital letters here... because i don't feel like it. like it or don't. negative self talk is so self deprecating. we wouldn't let someone talk to us like that, but we let ourselves talk us out of EVERYTHING! this is a little tale and peek into our life.  over a year ago john left his comfortable job with good benefits (no, really the best benefits there are, kind of benefits). he could do this job with his eyes closed,

i used to have an HSA account. post December 2010 the rules were changing  and zero OTC drugs were to be purchased on my lovely card. so, i decided to take matters into my own hands. i binged. i went to target and stocked up on: prenatals, ibuprofen and multi vitamins etc. now pregnant i can't take advantage of all the ibuprofen. i'm sure john will do his fair share. i had a few headaches and they passed. but a few weeks ago i had a spliiiiiiiiiiiiiting one. not a migraine  (well i don't think it was as i haven't had one before and thought i would know if i have one) but a really bad headache. the kind you go to bed with and wake up with. i was talking to friend, amanda about this issue and she recommended  the one the only Tiger Balm. amanda instructed me to rub a lil dab on my temples and sit in cool air. i felt instant relief. instant. this has seriously been my saving grace for any inkling of a headache. careful the amount you use though. my skin peeled a lit
