1. I had the worst cramps yesterday.
Hollie of (And Baby Makes Three) tweeted me to tell me I should take B vitamins.
What are your cures for cramps?
My cramps were the 'grab the table and wait for the spasms to pass' type of cramps
that lasted until I taught my last ballet class of the night.
Not fun for me or my students.
2. Last night at Jack in the Box at 10 pm I ordered jalapeno poppers, a hamburger, curly fries, and churros.
I held back and did not order the cheese sticks although I should have.
3. After Jack in the Box I came home at 11:10 pm and the first thing Mr. Branflake said to me was
"Do you want to see a galaxy?!"
He was out in the backyard with his fancy telescope (he was an astronomy major in college)
and couldn't wait to show me the Andromeda Galaxy.
It was the perfect way to end the night.
4. I love Chuck Norris.

Are you Pinning?
Have a wonderful Friday.
Do you have anything real you want to talk about?
Let it loose!
(Unless you want to be mean to me, then you can hold your roll or else I might stick Chuck Norris on you.)

that jack in the box order sounds ahmazing. i havent had a burger all month. i think i need to change that this weekend.
For cramps-ibuprofen, a cup of chamomile tea, and icy-hot or bengay on your back and stomach-it works almost every time (or you could use a heating pad, but that's not portable).
lovely post
Haha! That Chuck Norris picture is fantastic! I used to watch Walker, Texas Ranger all the time with my mom when I was younger - I still know the entire theme song! :P
Thanks for commenting on my guest post on unique jewelry over at A Village Town! I deal with cramps by staying in bed all day and hating the world hahaha.

I have had Endometriosis for many years and the best thing I found for cramps is taking Primrose Oil everyday (one tablet in the morning and one in the evening). It really, really works. But it's not and immediate cure-all but you will notice it the first month after starting the capsules.
For immediate relief take Ibuprophen - at least 600mg - that should help within 30mins and if you are at home a very hot bath to relax your muscles and a heating pad and lay down. If you are at work and 600mg don't seem to be effective after 30mins take another 200mg.
Chamomile tea is also good -it's an anti-inflammatory like ibuprophen.
At the worst my doctor had me on 1500mg of Ibuprphen amongst other things. Once I had surgery and the worst was taken care of the above worked really well so that I could at least function.
If nothing else take the Primrose - it's also good for lowering cholesterol and is suppose to help you keep your weight down. I just love it because it keeps my cramps to a manageable level - and believe me I can tell when I don't take it!
I'm sorry you were feeling bad - And I hope you are better soon.

favorite post EVER! i'm so sorry about your cramps. yuck! i used to take ibuprophen for mine. i hope you're feeling better today. will we get to see some galaxies during thanksgiving!? that. would. be. AWESOME!! oh, and i've had chuck norris in my head for the last WEEK! it's been terrifying!
Oh my gosh, that Chuck Norris pin. So funny!
Sorry about the cramps... I like using a heating pad and eating chocolate ;-)
oh my! your jack in the box meal sounds SOOOO good right now!!
very cute post... i couldn't help but chuckle when i read about your norris crush... too funny!!!
Have a fun weekend and hope you're feeling better!
Try chewing some TUMS next time. A friend gave me the TUMS tip a few months ago and seriously it works wonders for me! I also take Ibuprofen, but it takes a while to start working, the TUMS seem to have a very quick result - and apparently it can help with any type of cramping (which may be helpful for a dancer). Good luck...at times it certainly isn't fun being a girl.
p.s. I love your blog! I'm a fellow dancer (lindy-hop/swing) who visited Scotland a few years back. I loved it...looking at all of your photos brought back some great memories. Thanks for sharing!
NOTHING stops my cramps like a heating pad does...that and waiting for the time to pass. Ughh...Eve.

That Chuck Norris joke is cracking me up-we love him! No lie-we have the COMPLETE Walker Texas Ranger!
ugh cramps. i have no cure...b vitamins never worked for me. finally i just went on birth control and that helped a ton.
Ugh cramps are just the worst! I hate the crippling kind. Hope you're all better by now and that you're enjoying the weekend! :) xoxo
Aah, poor you, Tiffany. Hot water bottle and loads of magnesium, methinks. Hope you are feeling better! X
I'm sorry! Cramps are the absolute worst! I always end up curled up in bed watching chick flicks.
I hope you're feeling better today!
My cure for cramps is a heating pad. I'm not sure if it helps, but it does feel good, plus my kitties like it so it usually ends up with all of us in bed, snuggled up watching amazing movies. Oh, and there is usually a pizza box on the bed with us. Cramps are the WORST! I totally feel your pain. Hope your feeling better now... and I was definitely talking about how bad I wanted jack n the box last night, but I was far too lazy and i'm a recently converted vegetarian. sucks for me!
Hope you have a great sunday!

Those jalapenos at Jack are the money!! SO GOOD. I'm hungry.
Have you tried evening primrose on the cramp front? Take it daily for hair, skin and nails at 1000mg. It is superb and aids in the crampage.
i have those cramps today. ANNOYING! oh the joys of womanhood. not to mention that i now get my period EVERY THREE WEEKS. seriously. COME ON! so annoying!
STUPID CHUCK NORRIS. lol. that pic is a scream!
Love the real talk! Glad to know that I am not the only one out there willing to eat fast food (Sonic's drive thru is my favorite) at 10:00 PM.
P.S. - I love Chuck Norris too!
