Cravings

So I had my first real craving today. All I wanted--all I thought about--was a nice, ice cold slice of watermelon. I wanted it so badly that I risked my day by going to the commissary today to get one. (never go to the commissary on or around payday...) Anyway, it wasn't so bad at the store and it was SO worth it. I almost ate half of the watermelon in one sitting. :)

Up until now, I really haven't had any cravings where I NEED IT NOW. Sometimes I want something salty to eat, so I take out a bag of chips...but I only eat a few pieces and I'm good. I don't have food aversions either--unlike my friend, who is due 2 weeks after me, cannot eat poultry or chocolate. However, I've been known to start eating my meal, only to not want to finish it. I get sick of it right in the middle of eating it. Today, I cooked some pasta for dinner and when I finished making it, I just didn't want to eat it. I didn't even want to taste it for seasoning! Good thing Jerome wanted to go out for dinner--so hopefully I'll want to eat it for lunch tomorrow. :)

I changed my insurance plan to the civilians' version of a PPO. I had an HMO previously, (Tricare Prime) but my doctor keeps changing and I was getting worried that I'd never see the same doc twice. (They were getting transferred all the time!) Also, I've heard good and bad (mostly bad, unfortunately) about the military hospital I was supposed to deliver at, so we made the decision to go to a private practice. I just have to pay a copay for my visits and prescription now, whereas it was all free before. Oh, well. It's all a price to pay for piece of mind, you know?

I'm on a bloggy blog roll!!! (motivates me to know that other people, besides Crystal who I always talk to, are reading this!) :) Leave me a message, yo!
