time keeps on slipping...
It's been TWO years since I met Adam in South Beach. I was 23, he was 31. Sounds like a much bigger age difference then than it does now...25 to 33. Maybe because all my friends here are older and everyone thinks I'm older (seriously, yesterday one of my coworkers could believe that I was younger than her and she's 28!) so I feel like I'm older. I think I'm rambling...
Anyway, two year anniversary. It was a monumental meeting, I must say. Shortly after we officially began referring to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend (around August of 2004) people kept telling me I was glowing. I had clients ask what I was doing differently because I was looking so good. The glow has died down, but it's still a crazy fun ride. All things considered, I'm very lucky.
And now, for a complete topic switch: TMI warning!!!
IUD. I went to the doctor last Tuesday because I HATE my birth control (oh, and there were a VERY scary few days last week that involved peeing on a stick)and want to be cool like Katie and Ella and get an IUD. The doctor all but refused to give me one, saying they're not for people who haven't had children. She prescribed a different pill that I'm supposed to try for a month and see if I like it better and go back to decide what I want. I was doing more research on the IUD today and have totally freaked myself out, but I still want it, now especially since she said I can't have it. The only reason they recommend it for women who've already had kids it that's it's easier to insert. And here I was hoping that it might make me infertile and I wouldn't have to worry about birth control any more! Actually, the IUD is more effective at prevent pregnancy than tubal litigation, which I know they won't do for someone my age.
I love babies. I just don't want to have any.
