I’m Officially Late
Well, my cycles are irregular but they’re never THIRTY ONE DAYS LONG. But…no sore, tingly boobs and I don’t seem to be tired like I was last week. But also…no zits, which is like saying there’s no sky. I ALWAYS break out before my period.
OTOH, by my calculations, we had unprotected sexual intercourse (hahahaha…I was just amusing myself there. Nobody really says “sexual intercourse” do they?) 10 days after my last period so it’s unlikely I was ovulating.
Right?
PLEASE SAY YES.
I keeping willing my “friend” to come but, as evidenced by a brand new box of tampons that sits here on my desk…mocking me, she’s a no show. By the way, why the hell do women call it their “friend”? Zits, cramps, bloating, homicidal tendencies? What the hell kind of friend would bring you those things?
So, enough about my “friend” or lack thereof. I have no concrete answer because I’m in denial and refuse to take a test to find out once and for all. But rest assured, when I do know something, you’ll be the third to know.
In other news… I cut my hair last night. I just couldn’t stand it anymore so I took a pair of scissors to it and chopped it off.
Okay, not really. I just trimmed my way-too-long bangs. A lot. They’re like regular bangs now but still to the side. And the fact that I’m reasonably pleased is HUGE. I hate almost every haircut I get. Am picky and pain-in-the-assy when it comes to my hair.
So here’s the unveiling. But first? Try to ignore the toothpaste splattered mirror, courtesy of my daughter’s electric toothbrush. I’ve given up cleaning the it every day. I just let the maid deal with it when she comes. Which is never. Because? I don’t have a maid and I’m really just lazy.
Oh, and another thing, I took this about an hour after I woke up and my hair is completely unbrushed or fussed with in any way. And no makeup, either (shut up!) But you get the general idea of the new ‘do (because I know you SO care)
So today we had my daughter’s non-family birthday party at Build-a-Bear. The best thing about it, IMO, is that it went pretty quickly. Am I the only one that finds long children’s parties downright painful?
Then we had ice cream and then it was over shortly thereafter. $110 for the actual party and get this — $25 for seven little kid-sized cups of ice cream from Häagen Dazs. Clearly, I’m in the WRONG business…
There was something else I wanted to tell you but um…I forgot what it was. I’m sure it will come to me while I’m in bed, psychically willing my period to also come.

Oooh, I LIKE it. Your hair, not your bitch uterus.
Oh…I’ve got my fingers crossed that your (not really a) friend shows up soon.
I love the hair. Love the bangs. You’ve got some talent there. The last time I took scissors to my hair, I mangled my bangs so badly that I made my husband swear he would tackle me and remove the scissors if he ever saw me trying to cut my own hair again. See my little icon under my blog log over there (or in the header of my homeschool site)? Yeah. Those effed up bangs were my doing.
And I have a bathroom mirror that looks just like that…two, actually.
Hair? Adorable.
No period? Not so much.
Loving the hair and trying to help by bending spoons with my mind while trying to make your period come through my psychic ability.
cute hair!
In my experience it’s the willing of the thing that makes it stay away. She’s all attitude, that one.
You look gorgeous! Don’t worry that glow is just the glare of the flash on the mirror.
Oh my. I’ll try willing your period to arrive, too…maybe that will help?
And your hair looks great! I can never cut my own. I’ve tried and it looks like I did it with pinking shears or something.
I was late this month too, but I finally got my period last night.
Now I’m sending my period vibes your way.
These cramps are no friend of mine.
I think the more you want it, the less the period fairy seems to grant wishes. Bitch.
Love the hair.
And what toothpaste marks? I don’t see um.
If it offers any hope at all… As I got older (early 30s) my cycle started getting pretty wacky. Every other month I would have a longer cycle. At first it was just a few days longer. Eventually I would go as long as 40 days. Then, like some hormonal rubber band had snapped back into place, it would go back to a 30ish day cycle for a few months. j
So cheer up, you might not be pregnant, you might just be getting old. (KIDDING!)
Can I hate you for looking that good first thing in the morning? Good.
You look fabulous, dahling.
And good luck with the whole period thing. I’m sending you flowy vibes.
um, i don’t need to tell you that i ovulated LATER than normal and, well, you know what happened to me. (3 more months to go, btw)
sometimes, though, just the worrying about it makes you late (cuz that happened to me more than once, too).
here’s hoping you get what you want - whichever that is. :)
You can’t get your period, and mine never seems to stop. Gee, what’s wrong with these pictures? Wish I could share…
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Hair looks cute, though.
Good luck with the period thing. Hate to tell you, but mine was last last February, and I’m due in October. Although, I was wishing for mine to stay away. Hope it works out the way you want it to, though. I must admist, this pregnancy has been harder (guess it’s b/c I’m 40?), and I’m very anxious for it to be done!
you are so lucky that you look good with bangs. i look a little too, erm, inuit…
Um I don’t call it my “friend”….I refer it it as “the bitch from hell”! And as far as ovulating? You never know? I’d be hitting the store for a stick to pee on!!!
Usually when I freak like this I take the damn test and start my period the next morning.
Build-A-Bear … UGH. Sorry you had to suffer through that.
You know, in my house we call it Martha Stewart, because my period is SUCH a bitch.
You’re so cute! ;-)
And, about the 10 days after and probably not ovulating thing? Me too, and I’m now 21 weeks pregnant. Oops. That probably doesn’t help, right?
Your hair is awesome and you are totally droolworthy.
I hope by the time you read this comment you’re on your way to buy tampons.
ooooh, I like the hair! You rock those bangs.
I have lots of mirrors that look like that, thanks to my general non-housekeeping skills and too many kids.
And, um, Sunny resulted from my one 28 day cycle ever in my life, after being used to long, irregular cycles, like 34 days one cycle and 47 the next (can’t call them months since they last longer than that). I began to suspect I was pregnant when I smelled a pop tart someone was making in the work toaster and it was super super strong. I was all “What kind of pop tart is THAT? Mine never smell like that” and she was all “um, brown sugar and cinnamon?” looking at me like I’d gone completely daft.
I hope Aunt Flo is just taking the scenic route this cycle….
Got a name picked out yet? ha!
That pic looks like it is from ‘74 (not saying anything about your hair style - seriously). The way the light is hitting the glass casts this vintage mid-70’s California look to it. Very cool.
I got the feeling maybe you don’t want to be pregnant. I know, I’m a superstar. I got through third grade in only a few tries.
I’ll be back for an update :)
ACK re: your non-bleeding and HAWT re: your hair.
Apparently you did not get any condoms from me.
That’s what they are for, you know. :)
Oh girl, I have been where you are. Willing a period to come that ended up not coming for over a year. Once you pee on that stick and know for sure you will feel so much better even if it’s not the answer you want.
I like the cut. That’s a good length for your bangs. You’re a beautiful girl. You really can’t go wrong.
Go put on your most expensive fancy underwear and a pair of white pants. Then visit your most unfriendly, uptight neighbor or family member. Then sit on their very expensive cream colored custom-made couch.
That’s all I got, but I hope it helps!
Build-A-Bear has parties? That is so cool!
You look great. Your period will arrive before midnight. You’re welcome.
Throw out all of your feminine hygiene products - that should bring on your period. If that doesn’t work, add in the white pants.
And the hair is looking good! Wish I looked that good without any prep or makeup!
Your hair looks great, especially first thing in the morning! I should be so lucky. I too think kids’ parties, even the short ones, are downright painful! As far as being late, I like these suggestions that you got: wear white pants, throw out the tampons, or just do the damn test. Taunt fate…that’ll bring your period on. Good luck!
Your hair looks to good for you to be…uh, you know…
May you get your period very soon!
And your hair looks great as usual. Best hair in the blogosphere! I would hate you for having such great hair if you weren’t so goshdarn nice.
Hmmmm. I don’t want to hear that. I’ve been operating on Day 10 is OK. Keeping my fingers crossed that you open that tampon box soon.
You cut your hair? You’re SO pregnant!
It looks great though!
Your hair is entirely cute.
Is that my bathroom you’re standing in?
And don’t worry, the last time I had a late period after sexual intercourse ten days after my last period, it turned out to be nothing.
Oh wait. I’m wrong. I had a baby.
But hey! It’s 22 months later and I STILL haven’t had my period! Bonus?
;-)
LOL!
Usually the urge to chop off my hair is the first pregnancy symptom. But crossing my fingers for you!
willing for whatever is right for your future to be the thing that comes out of all this.
xooxxo
also? dude. you’re so foxy sans makeup and hairbrush. why bother with that crap anyway? you’re a total hottie. cereal.
SO………………………………….??????????
One line or two?
Yer hot.
You’ll be even hotter if you’re knocked up…
By the way…I may have a purple top I need to give you…(see my blog…)
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve convinced myself I’m pregnant (or have lyme disease, ah hem, which I don’t - dammit), so I would merely suggest you Face the Stick. Then pee on it.
New hairdo in…. old friend out?
sperm typically lives 3 days but can last up to 5. If you ovulate at day 14.. uhh yeah. The bangs are cute though
Your hair looks great as usual. Ah, the late period dilemna-happens to me all the time and I always think I’m pregnant.
Well damn. I have to admit after 5 months of trying, and a chemical pregnancy this past month (in which I had 3 positive tests and then my “friend came 2 days later)…I am jealous. I hope for your sake the “friend” visits you…and keeps the hell away from me this month. I’ll pray for you to not be, if you pray for me to be? Capiche?
OH, you’re always cute, what are you talking about?
And me, I am always a week late exactly if I am really stressed. Perhaps it’s something like that? ironically, it seems that the stress of being late just makes the whole matter worse…
10 days is a bit early, but if you got a strong swimmer in there you actually could be preggers :) Sending friend thoughts your way, I’m sure yours will show up!!!
