Two Nuns Walk Out of A Ross...

No, that's not the first line of a naughty joke! Two actual nuns walked out of a Ross store this morning as I was walking in. Excuse my fascination with this sighting. I don't know about you, maybe you do see tiny nuns (at least mine today were tiny, and yes I did just call them "my" nuns) all the time but I don't. I was so surprised. They were so cute; random though. It's funny I just don't think of nuns going out for a quick shopping trip. I can picture them at a grocery store, a church or abby of course, maybe the habit shop but not a Ross. It really made me wonder what they bought.

Ok enough of your "knowing" expression. Yes, even after my confession last night I went shopping again today. BUT it was a totally different Ross store (which I realize doesn't really make any difference at all). I was on that side of town picking up some jeans I had hemmed (because I'm a shorty) and it just begged to be perused. I gave in and I actually had much better luck at this store. I found some really cute shirts and yes, if you are wondering if I bought husband anything, I did. So there you have it: honesty is the best policy.

On an unrelated note I ate a cheeseburger last night from Chili's (it was so tasty) and totally paid for it this morning. Like I said, I don't have many side effects from the Metformin but I do get nauseous sometimes. Usually once a day but it doesn't last long. Anyway, I was pretty nauseous this morning- more so than usual. Boo! ☹ But I rebounded and am feeling much better now.

So my Question is: What's the most unusual thing you have seen or experienced this week?
and
Bonus Questions: What makes you feel gross on Metformin? Any remedies worth passing along? Any other tough side effects you are dealing with? I'm hear to listen if you need someone to grumble to!

See You Later Alligator! (My Mom would say that to me all the time when I was little. Guess I'm feeling nostalgic)

Ok, I love Ross, too. Also love me some TJ Maxx. What great retail inventions, right? I bought a Via Spiga purse for $39 (retails for $159) just last week!!

The most unusual thing this week, hmmm.... it's been a pretty dull week but it would have to be this girl I saw at Dillard's in the shoe section last night. She had 3 boxes of shoes in her hands (she was probably about 12) and she was informing her father that he was buying all 3 for her. He raised his head to protest, then stopped, sulked his head down and slowly walked over to the checker and bought them all. I couldn't imagine talking to my father like that when I was a kid and I was lucky to get one pair of shoes every year. Seriously.

The Met makes me nauseous, too. I also notice a major decrease in appetitie, which is probably good. I can't ever finish a meal anymore and I don't find myself CRAVING desserts like I used to.

*hugs*

Shopping therapy is the best! I can always find an alment in myself that needs some shopping therapy.

Most unusal thing? How many people ate alone last night, in a resturant! Crazyness.

Not on Met, but am on Clomid and it makes me a BEAR! Emotional reck, like crying like a baby on a subway b.c some army guy came on. Stuff like that, is oh so fun. I am now used to the Clomid so symptoms have setteled down!

Ok, the thing that was most unusual, or maybe irritating, this week was a lady with her two children at El Porton last night- the irritating part was that she let her children make a total mess of the entire area around their table, and then just got up and left it like that when they were done eating. I promise here and now to never leave a restaurant a mess when I have children! That's just so rude to me.

The Met...the first couple weeks I was on it I would get pretty dizzy feeling about 20 minutes after taking it. I don't really feel any side effects now, though. My appetite is definitely lower, and I can tell I've lost a few lbs, too. A perk maybe? :) I hope you start feeling better on it.
