Late last night I managed to uncurled myself out of my pitiful PMS fetal position, crawl out of my pit of despair, dispose of all the tear crusted tissues that were littered around me, wipe the crumbs of chocolate and potatoes chips off my face (WHY is that such a delicious PMS pairing?!), and happily said “buhbye” to that damn monthly zit (I don’t get zits, like ever, except for PMS time – grrr). I believe I’m now on the road to recovery and am feeling more like myself today (Willie – it’s safe to come home now). WTF??? Why do some months come and go with nary a symptom, and other months give you a full out throat punch? Eff you Mother Nature!
So today I just have a bit of housekeeping for you.
First up – we have a new Office Tour today! Woot woot! *pumps both arms in the air*
Be sure to head over to see Shana at Fumbling Towards Normalcy. Not only does she work in NYC, she has a kick ass view of a terrace that has been known to play host to a certain celeb.
Who’s going to do the next one?!

Next up is a reminder of the awesome giveaway my girl Surferwife has going on. She’s twitter friends and besties with a crazy amount of celebs and one of them has offered up an autographed copy of their new book. AND she’ll ship it to Canada! Surferwife is SO international. Head over here and enter. Right now. I’ll wait . . .

And finally, the other day, during my PMS haze, I did a guest re-post here over at Jade’s blog Now That I’m No Longer 25. Jade lives in Scotland, and in addition to other great stuff, she does some awesome travel posts. I only hope I’ll get to visit some of those places one day (hey in laws – check out this one on Glasgow!).
Okay. Must run. There’s a box of Midol calling my name.
What’s your favourite PMS snack?

Nachos! All day, every day. But really, I eat everything in sight during that SPECIAL time of the month.
And I also get the one lone zit. Ugh.

OMG Cher. I woke up in a foul mood today. FOUL. And I could just feel it radiating to everyone in the house and I couldn’t stop myself. Like intentionally trying to be mean and piss my household off.
It’s rarely this bad so I ask the same question as you… Why are certan months so bad?
Thanks for the shout. Extra entries for you, my PMS queen.

Midol is my favorite PMS snack. I’m headed to the store to get some right after I read Shan’s office tour. I hope you are feeling better because I sure feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. YAY!

I am PMSing right now and it is so not cool. This month I am craving carrots. WHAT? I don’t even like carrots but I have been eating them nonstop for 2 days.

Carrots??? You win the “weirdest PMS craving” award. Hands down.

I can so relate to the PMS demon. I’m currently having the same issues and just want m&ms and cheeze its

Isn’t PMS the worst?? When I was on the pill, everything was wonderful and normal. But when i got off (oh about 1.5 years ago) it all went downhill. I have absolutely NO schedule – she totally comes and leaves when she wants with little or no notice… i have HORRIBLE back pain… and sometimes i have the worst stabby cramps (which never used to happen – wth?). And yes, i also become the biggest emotional wreck ever, but that’s every time. It freaking kills me.

I think Peanut Butter makes a great PMS snack. Straight out of the jar.
Is that an acceptable answer? I hope so. I want to know why I occassionally sit with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon.
Like.. every four weeks.
Damn working in an office full of women! We’ve all synced up!

ScoMan’s comment was awesome. Thanks for the shout out on the office tour! I’m sorry you were feeling so crappy! I hope today is better.

I’m glad the PMS is behind you, or in front of you depending on how you look at it. Lately, I’ve been PMS-ing badly. No fun.

You look lovely with your hair both ways, but a new haircut is always fun. I’ve traded in PMS for hot flashes. At least the mood is stable, which is some consolation for having to age.
