And an even bigger thanks goes out to that cute husband of mine for reminding me that I wanted a favicon of my own and then helping me sift through countless pages of google image search results in order to find the perfect representation of me and my blog. I, for one, think we chose rather well. [...] [...] A very heartfelt thanks goes out to Isabel for writing a post awhile back that directed me to Liberal Banana’s easy-to-follow how-to guide.

I hid the fact that I had my period for a YEAR. A year. I have no idea why when both my Mum and Step-mum had been very open and informative about it. I would go to tell them and then just freeze in absolute terror. I finally got found out... because I had an "accident" and hid my knickers and my Dad found them... which was even more mortifying than telling anyone. I feel 12 just writing this. Man… reading this entry brought back some memories.

It was so embarrassing! I didn't get my period until I was 15, which was fine by me. When it finally arrived, I just thought I was sick and had a stomache ache and I wasn't terribly ashamed when I finally figured it out and got my mom to buy me some maxi pads. The shame came later when, at dinner, my brother asked why I was feeling sick and my mom explained to him that "Today, your sister's body became a woman". UGH!!

My mother made it a point to keep track of me and my sisters periods on the calendar so she would be the first to know if we had gotten ourselves knocked up. I never was embarrassed about it. I knew every girl was going to do it eventually. I do have a sister-in-law and her cousin that absolutely will not use a tampon because they don't want to touch "down there". I want to know how they get clean in the shower???? I started at 12, normal I guess.
