The Cheesecake is Rich

Last Friday Gene and I went to the Cheesecake City General Hospital for some testing in re: Plan B (lack thereof). And… hmm, well. It doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look impossible (yet, points out the little dark part of my head, the part that Googles in its free time). More testing in August, we’ll [...]

Gene’s best friend and his wife had their second child, a daughter this morning. Yay! Also, my old college roommate T and her husband had their twin sons on Friday. Mothers, fathers and babies are doing well.

So, I took a mental health afternoon today. TMI alert, by the way. The cycle of Clomid didn’t have the desired effect and I don’t know why and frankly, it was just too depressing. So, when Gene said “Why don’t you take the afternoon off?” I decided that he had a good idea. We went [...]

Reason #171 I feel like playing in traffic sometimes ETA: the URL title includes the F bomb, surf at your own risk. ETAA: Okay, so the site above is somewhere between mean and deeply mean spirited. Did I ever claim to be the nicest girl on the block? (well, at work I claim to be [...]

Work is cuh-ray-zee right now. Just is. Big upgrade planned to the new payroll software. I am busier than I ever believed possible with no end in sight (at least until the end of the calendar year). I see Dr. P on Tuesday and he will A) Tell me I’m too fat (true, I’m back [...]

I wish that I could meet Stephen Colbert. I would like to get a picture taken with him where I’m pointing at him with a crazed look on my face – a version of this one. I could totally be his New Atheist Friend. I wish that I had remembered to watch the opening games [...]

Better luck next month! (cue the “You lose!” gameshow music)

(Okay, a really BIG nutshell – like I can ever be short winded about ANYTHING?) So I was in a panic about an hour ago because I am down to only 5 home pregnancy tests in my arsenal. Target didn’t close until 9, so :: phew :: up to 8 tests again. I really wish [...]
