The Cheesecake is Rich

So, it appears that All, Downy and Purex are serious when they say “UNSCENTED FORMULA.” I know this because I just did laundry (yes, in Columbus) using Purex’s 3 in 1 laundry sheets and whooo, this “Oasis Fresh Scent” crap is totally cloying. I never realized how much the smell of detergent and fabric softener [...]

Soooo… blood draw was on Wednesday at 8:30 AM. I still haven’t heard anything. I’m not nervous, just excited to hear something. If this is the month to start Lupron and other injectables, I’d like a little time to weigh my pharmacy options and find the lowest cost provider. In the meantime, here are some [...]

seems to officially be on the road. Went to LabCorp today for my first IVF related bloodwork. Hopefully I’ll hear about the results early next week and Dr. K will give me an official game plan. I did not know this until recently, but it appears that IVF is generally a two month endeavor. Here [...]

wants me to post more. Can I convince her that this is a bad plan? Let’s find out. (I can’t wait to go to Indiana again – this time next month I’ll be there!! Yay!) So I was driving to Blockbuster and talking to Mom about the no cable television thing and I point out [...]

So, I am sitting here reading emails and the word “Antithesis” is in one of them. Why do we pronounce thesis “theeeesus” but antithesis is this jumble of syllables “antithusus”? Seriously. Say “antithesis”. Doesn’t it feel like it’s the word that never ends (yes it goes on and on my friends, some people started saying [...]

100% batshit crazy and there are no two ways about it. Cuh-ray-zee, people. I just spent a ridiculous amount of the day obsessing about saving money. A good thing, right? Not if it’s on stuff I don’t need! (Well, OK, “don’t need” is debatable in this case but just wait) So, I hate cleaning. I [...]

So, seven years ago today Gene and I got married. Just about everyone who reads this blog was there and like I said on Facebook, I am so thankful that everyone I love in the world was there. I have the pictures to prove it This time 7 years ago, Gene and I sat at [...]

So, yesterday I had to lower everybody’s pay rates. Mine, the Almighty D’s, Gwen’s, Stefania *and* her Toady’s. Everyone. Managers I like, managers I hate. It hurt so bad to do that. I thought I might take a little glee when I lowered our Bonus Controller’s, but no.  I folded the report so I could [...]

So far today, I have… Slept until 20 until 9 (I know this is not getting me any sympathy from any of you!) Eaten brunch! (Yum!) Gone to the grocery store! (So close to keeping it under $100! Damn you, 2 for $6 queso!) Swept and mopped kitchen floor! (The Boy’s mom did this every [...]

So, back in the day I had a Speak and Spell and a Speak and Math (or whatever the math version of the Speak and Spell was called*). I credit the Speak and Math with my ability to do simple math in my head. (I also credit my mother’s handy memory tricks such as “Refrigerator [...]
