Chocolate, onions, and hormones
162 days till Australia. 22 days till my 26th birthday. 120 days till Christmas.
What I'm about to write about is the changing times of life... I'm somewhat hesitant, because it is fairly personal and feels "hush hush" although it is such a natural thing. I suppose my above countdown is an attempt at blog procrastination.
I've fessed up to some important women in my life that I'm starting to feel more maternal, but now I feel it's time to share this fact with anyone else who gets intrigued by the title of this blog. YES it's true, the girl who was unsure if she wanted kids and completely FREAKED OUT about the actual process of giving birth is feeling the urge to have babies. It all started a couple months ago or so, when I started feeling a bit more warm and fuzzy around little people, but in the last couple weeks more instances of being around kids have created a longing for a family. Now, BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, I must say this... I will not be having a baby for a long while yet. I will be in a committed relationship and financially stable when I have a baby (that's the plan anyways), but I still feel the urge to share my new found maternal longing. This is so interesting to me because life and the changing times are so fascinating. I have my traveling coming up soon which I am SO excited about - that will come first! Perhaps I'll meet a nice lad overseas :)
So yeah... babiesbabiesbabies. Friends are having them, they are constantly coming through my till at Extra Foods, they have the cutest clothing in the world, and there is a movie called Babies playing this Tuesday. I've already decided on my girls name (Eleanor), who the Godparents will be, how all my dear family will be addressed (perhaps my kids will have an Auntie Granny too!), and how I will fit in with my friends families once they have kids (God Aunt Nicola to Jess and Brendans future children). This all sounds a bit freaky to me but I can't help it. Mother Nature has turned up the nurture and turned down the "just me". Yikes! :)
Well onto chocolate and onions briefly... Within the last 2 weeks, I have decided I like onions! I know my Mother will be shocked at this because I have always hated onions!! Things done changed... Also, with sugar, I think it is a factor in my allergies! I've been bad and eating more sugar the last day or so and have had sniffles this morning and last! Yay - more incentive to cut out the shit! I will continue experimenting while I wait for my allergy testing appointment in Kelowna.
Nothing much going on this weekend... working away as per usual. Can't believe it's almost September!!
