Little Obsessions

[froggsie]

I go through so many obsessions in my life.  Luckily, they are normally just one or two at a time.  Like the time I discovered Fresh Market and discovered Raisin Brioche.  OMG - what a treat.  But once I found that I was getting to work late because they didn't open until 9:00 I was able to work through that fattening obsession!!!  I needed to get to work earlier and I didn't need the calories.  Obsession broken.

I've had worse obsessions - working out twice a day, cutting back on food.  I think pregnancy cured me of those obsessions.  Somehow getting pregnancy made me love a more womanly shape.  Although quite honestly, I want so much to lose 20 pounds.  I hate how I feel a lot of days.

But on to my newest obsession.  I was at a bike race for kids a few weeks ago.  In between races, we went to Sonic for lunch.  I just got a drink.  Root beer to be exact.  We went back to the race and I carried my cup with me.  My drink was gone but I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed the ice in my cup.  I started every few days running by Sonic and instead of getting an actual drink, I would just get a large cup of ice.  I would fill it with water to make the ice move better.  How awesomely delicious.  And I've never been an ice fan in my life before.  One day I was going through Sonic's drive through when I saw the car in front of me get an actual bag of sonic ice.  WHAT!!!  You should have seen my face!  I was thrilled with the thought of having my own ice at home, at work, where ever I may be!!!  I got my own bag of ice right then and there.  It wasn't easy finding a spot in my freezer for an 8 pound bag of ice but you can be sure I persevered!!!  Now I am up to maybe 24 pounds of ice a week.  I can't believe what I've been missing.  I can't stand to be without my ice!

I'm sure some of you are reading this and wondering if I'm anemic in some way.  It would actually fit with my RLS and my ice cravings.  It would also fit with the fact that I've had menorraghia since March.  Simply said, it is heavy bleeding during periods.  Plus my period was nonstop since about March.  I did finally make it to the doctor and it is a fibroid problem.  Agh - at least nothing was cancerous.  I'm on some medication that is supposed to help stop the bleeding - otherwise it is a hysterectomy.  I'm feeling good about the medication.  Somehow, I really want to avoid the hysterectomy if possible.  Doc didn't think I was a good candidate for ablation due to the size of the fibroids.  But I just had my blood checked at work and I will soon know if my delight for ice is based on anemia of gargantuon proportions!!!

Meanwhile - dip me out a little more ice - I am in the mood for more!!!

froggsie,

gee, it's nice to know that someone else out there is... a little crazy too!

I so get the same way about things. I just annoy the heck outta myself.

Good luck w/the test results!
