Cooking With PMS

When my PMS is raging, I find it rewarding to cook my guy a really special meal and have it waiting for him when he gets home from work – there’s something about the warmth of the kitchen, the smell of fresh bread baking, and the satisfaction of knowing that I’m pleasing my man that makes it all bearable, even beautiful.

But here’s an even better secret: when my guy is enjoying his dinner in front of the TV while dessert is baking, I make it look like I’m just shuttling up and down the stairs with the laundry basket, but really what I’m doing is trying to stay in shape, so when my period finally does come-and-go (darn that thing!), I’ll look really good in lingerie for him the week after – and he always brings me chocolate when I do that! <Wink! Giggle!>

Hahahaha... if that were me that food would be salted with my tears. And it would end up in his face. Hahaha...

If that were me, the last thing I want to see is food or the kitchen - although the heat does help.

Rocks, baby, a corset does wonders for the bloating. I'm just sayin'.
