Reclaiming Myself...The Demise of the Little Pink Pill.
I have have recently made a huge decision in my life. I have decided to reclaim who I am and stop taking the little pink pill that I have been taking daily for about 10+ years of my life. That's about 2850 pills I have swallowed (give or take a few) to dictate when my body is going to go through what is supposed to be a natural cycle.
Now let's not get all excited. I am NOT trying to get myself in the "bun in the oven" situation so neither of you are going to be aunts in the near future. Yes indeed I will become a slave to a neatly and sometime colorful foiled packed containg a lubricated, spermacide coated, latex condom.....Ugh. The Shoppers Drugmart people will still be getting money out of me in that department.
You may ask why I am making such a drastic life altering move. Well I will tell you because I think that just maybe you should know.
About 2 years ago I was watching a show about Cancer Causing agents. It was a Dateline thing... On that, along with Tide sticks and Mr. Clean counter wipes, the birth control pill used long term is a cancer causer. I know I know. Everything in the world causes cancer these days and if you drink too much ornage juice it will rot your teeth just as fast as Coke (true fact).
Anywas, I saw that show, thought about it a little bit and then never really thought about it again. Lately however, I have noticed some really big changes in my mood and my sex drive and in the back of my head I kept coming back to the pill as the deep underlying of these issues. So the other night ( a sleepless one), I got online and decided to research the side effects of long term use birth control.....(What the doctor doesn't tell you). There are all the ones that we do know about.....Blood Clots, Weight Gain, Acne and so on. Then way down there were these side effects. Severe depression and mood swings and loss of sexual drive and all sexual thoughts. And the loss of sexual drive is PERMANENT. Yep that's what it said. You don't regain it. Ever. (And it actually said EVER).
So there you go. I'm getting the hell out of Birth Control Dodge. And do you know what? I feel really good about it. So along with the condoms and the inevetable cramps what will take over my body every month I say, "Let me be free"!
Hahaha.
This has been a service announcement from you Kind Friend Sharon. Shoud there be a real emergency this message will be followed by detailed instructions on.....( I can't think of anything else whitty to say here).
Later!!

Rich Girl - Hall and Oates
So, I now love this song and while it is sung by Hall and Oats, it's much more enjoyable watching this guy lip-syncing it. (And he's a little more hot than those old other folks). Now if only Michael buble would sing it...or Harry Conick... Mmmmmm Harry.
