Green Curry Cravings

Late last week, I got a craving for green curry. I found it rather weird---while I like the green curry taste, I usually find such dishes way too spicy for my palate. I don't recall ever having that craving.

Luckily for me, during my regular Sunday Trader Joe food shopping trip, I stumpled across one of those quick, 2-minutes nuke-them, Trader Ming, Thai prepackaged packages in green curry basmati rice flavor. A new flavor. It appeared in the store just in time for me. I bought it and ate it that evening. It was just what I needed, albeit a bit too spicy. Unfortunately, I bought just one. I should've bought more.

But then the green curry craving returned this week again. It's been an on and off craving. Unfortunately, due to logistical issues, I haven't managed to satiate it yet. In other words, we didn't have a chance to order Thai.

But the craving got me wondering---why now, is it really possible?

I also found it suspicious that since Wednesday onward, I've been very tired. Granted on Monday and Tuesday I slept poorly---going to bed too late because of work and my new addiction to Sookie Stackhouse novels, of which I've been devouring one per evening, and the fact that Ivan kept waking up all night. So on Wednesday when I felt like falling asleep at 9 but had to be awake to listen to the Champion window guy's spiel about siding and windows from 7 to 11 p.m., I chocked it up to lack of sleep. But the same thing happened on Thursday and Friday--by 8 p.m. I was dead tired. That also got me wondering.

On Friday morning, I got my answer. Barely awake and stumbling myself into the bathroom, I took one of those ept home kit pregnancy tests and yes, there was a plus sign. Since I couldn't see straight, I took the test to bed so Andy can read the windows. He agreed, it was a plus. During lunch, I went to CVS and bought a store brand test. Initially, the plan was for me to take the test when I got home. But why wait, I thought. So I went to the bathroom at work, peed on the stick and waited. And yes, the lines appeared again. So although it's super early in the game (because Friday would've been 31 days since my last period) and I'm not telling anyone, it looks like I'm pregnant. Finally! It's only taken us since last July to get to this point.

I recall this happened last time as well. For the first few weeks I was really addicted to those Starbucks green tea frappuchino, until the nausea kicked in.
