From the organized mind of me

One of the awesome things about PCOS is that I hardly ever get a period. The "unawesomeness" of PCOS is facial hair. I think of all the things about being infertile I hate the most it is that. I am seriously self conscious! I feel horrific every single time I have to shave. Yep, I shave. It's cheaper than getting waxed and I hate messing with that funky cream. It is the cherry on top of the infertile sundae. The good news I didn't other obsess thinking about babies today...YEA!

And now for something completely different:

Since I was a little girl autumn has been my favorite season. There is something about the air still being a little chilly and the leaves turning beautiful colors. Then there is Halloween (I LOVE PUMPKINS!), Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It's part of the reason I LOVE to come back to the states in September.

So here is my Autumn Bucket List (inspired by Pinterest):

Go on a hay-ride Picture in a leaf pile Eat a caramel apple Corn maze

Go to a pumpkin patch Make cookies Go on a nature walk

Decorate a pumpkin Eat LOTS of pumpkin pie Drink lots of Starbucks

Well, I figured I would get a start on my list by decorating a pumpkin. Painting a plastic pumpkin from Michael's to be exact. I wanted to paint my white pumpkin with an argyle design. I have selected the just right colors for my scheme. I spend WAY too much time meticulously measuring out a diamond pattern. Then masking the pumpkin off to prevent any mishaps. I proceed to paint 3 coats on it leaving it to dry the appropriate amount of time in between. As I finish the last coat I start to peel the tape off and ALL THE PAINT BEGINS TO PEEL OFF! My pumpkin is ruined. My time is completely wasted and I have no pretty pumpkin to show for it. I also wasted the money because I had to throw the pumpkin out.
