about me
i’m a 30-something married woman with two dogs and a long commute. i love lipgloss and marc jacobs, office supplies and spelling. bad grammar drives me crazy. i’m not blonde anymore but the name blondedawn comes from the late 90s and my group of friends. i was the second dawn in our group – and was then blonde – so i became blondedawn. it stuck.
i have been using livejournal for over five years, but wanted something of my own. like most everyone else, i have a lot going on in my life right now and I think this will be a great way to get my thoughts out.
one of the biggest motivators for this blog is weight loss and infertility. i’ll get into it a little bit more later, but right now, i’m a statistic. i’m part of the 5-10% of women of reproductive age who have pcos (polycystic ovary syndrome). even that small percentage (well,i think it’s small!) means that pcos is the most common hormonal disorder for women in this age group. and while i’ve allowed myself to be and play the victim for the past few years, now i’m fighting back.
okay, so back to the point: this blog will probably be about me losing weight, infertility, pcos, and doctor’s visits. it may also be about others who have lost weight or have pcos or are dealing with infertility and want me to share their information. maybe i’ll throw in some boring stuff about graduate school or fun stuff about my addictions to designer handbags, reality television and lipgloss, my loving and wonderful and sexy husband, and our two funny dogs.
