altarflameOne of my New Years resolutions was to drink (a lot) more water. I'm doing it, but the thing is I wonder every day whether or not the health benefits are worth it when compared to the loss in quality of life because of how much I fucking loathe having to go pee all the time. I realize this is ridiculous but, like, seriously, it is extremely annoying to me to have to stop what I'm doing and go to the bathroom. Ever, not just when it's frequent. I just don't understand why my body is so inefficient and irritating. It seems like a total waste of time and effort to me, to a degree I understand is both unusual and irrational.
For what it's worth, I have the same reaction to needing to stop and get gas. I frequently get to the bathroom feeling ready to burst, and frequently pull into the gas station when my little indicator countdown warning says I only have *** miles left til we break down on the side of the road.
I wonder if this is because some subconscious part of my brain feels like my bladder and my van should be advancing the same way other technology is. I think my iPhone has totally died once since I got it 6 months ago, and I can plug it in while using it anywhere I am :p Sort of similar to how I got an IUD 6 months ago and haven't thought about birth control since.
Urination is archaic bullshit, this is 2012 and I won't stand for it!
So, this classy establishment is where I purchase my car insurance:
As you can see, they spare no expense where decorating is concerned:
Priorities = straight:
And this is Miami for "shirt".
I do love where I live.
Do they have coffee so strong it's served in thimbles other places?
This is not vegan, but as cheating goes I felt ok about it ;)
Also not vegan. Who the hell finds a picture like this appetizing?!

A Jake story copied and pasted from facebook:
My Jakey is so sweet ♥ He just brought me his beloved teddy bear, Beary, in panic, because he had a hole. I told him to bring me the sewing kit and he was all worried it was going to hurt Beary. So we put him to sleep first, and then Jake ran to make him a pretend cake while I did the surgery so he could have a treat when he woke up. When I called him to tell him Beary was all done and good as new he threw his arms around my neck with all this emotion, telling me "THANK YOU MAMA!" *sigh* This kid is awesome.
Immediately upon recovery, Beary had a birthday party that I was invited to.
He is about 115 in Favorite Stuffed Animal years (they have a birthday approximately once a week).
Here he is dressed, in some of Jake's old clothes :)
View through my bedroom doors one day:
One night, we were at Kristin's, and she had Hennessy and Hennessy Hammocks:
The next morning, I took a shower:
Packed up my vegan food for a long day out:
And talked to Kristin on the highway as we serendipitously rolled along side by side:
Aaron and Isaac at Dr Geraldi's last week...they could not be more different.
My oil and water children.
My surprise when I came out from the bedroom on Valentine's Day morning:
Das right, baby <3
I'm not really a Starbucks person anymore, I guess, since 1. I can't afford that! and 2. I can't get non-dairy stuff from them that isn't soy.
I am eating seafood. Pesce-vegan?
P.F. Chang's Asian Pear Mojito trumps all other Mojitos.
Ananda has improvisational style for days. Here she is in a brother's shirt, my tank top, shorts she just cut...
Here she is taller than Nancy. It's clear who's happier about this development.
That park was great.
Isaac turned 8! Here he is with his card from Nana and Pa.
He's really getting something of a birthday week...he's gotten cards in the mail a couple of days, and got a new bike and to choose the whole day's menu on the day. This weekend just him and Dad are going camping and we're doing cake and pinata with some people (which will be extra special since Oma is coming down from Lake City).
A random shot of a Magic game. They play a lot lately.

I'm so, so, so looking forward to when our children are old enough to play games with us. I mean, they play some little games now, but when we can all sit around and play Talisman or Risk... can't wait. Actually, just getting them all out of nappies is kind of my first goal XD
I agree with the whole urination thing. Actually I think that we also should have developed a better way of having babies. The two alternatives aren't that appealing, as both seem to involve a lot of pain :/

Date: 2012-02-28 05:04 am (UTC)Basically the gist of it was just drink enough so that your urine is lemonade color - not clear, not dark. 64 oz a day may or may not be enough or too much, and liquid intake from liquid-based foods counts too - soups, yogurts, juicy veggies/fruits like tomatoes, melons, etc and all that count as well. It's all about nice light yellow pee :)
