A summation of 2008, with thoughts on 2009

2009-01-01T05:00:00-07:00

I'm not a meme person. You tag me? I'm really unlikely to get around to it. It feels like homework, and I always put that off to the last minute. Actually, if possible, to after the last minute by asking for an extension. Such is my life. However, if I stumble upon something and feel a need to unload a few thoughts I might just do it. This is a long one, and I apologize. You'll see my sentiments about our President-Elect, and you may find a few tidbits about what has been going on in my life. If you have questions feel free to ask them. If you feel like sharing or have done this already, would you post it here, or link to it? I'm feeling empathetic and curious, as well as a bit pulled-back from life, and would love to be drawn out a bit.

Are you kidding me?

So. What would you think if you discovered after flipping another year on the odometer of life and, despite your best intentions feel older than ever, have just heard that there is a chance that you might have infertility coverage...

Happy Birthday to Me?

As you might imagine aging isn't the thing that an infertile person most likes to do. I mean it doesn't rank up there in my favorite pastimes. Travel? Sure. Lazing by a pool? Absolutely. Spending time with my husband? You bet. Turning another year over in the book of life? Not so much.

Five years

It still hurts. There is a hole in my life, and I don't think it will ever be filled. I don't know which hurts more.

Oh, please.

If I was the lucky one, don't you think you'd have heard it from ME? However, I'm beyond thrilled for the actual person who has a brand spanking new baby! I'm going to play along with Tertia, though, and keep...

The things you learn along the way

2008-03-25T01:18:25-07:00

Here I've been sinking my money and time firstly in education, secondly in travel, thirdly in medical interventions, fourthly in gonal-f (oh the gonal-f, in which I've partaken), and most recently in my latest favorite beverage a Reyka tonic with...

Her Very Own Shower

Hello Everyone who loves Akeeyu. Boulder here. I think it is time for another shower hosted on my site. This time, however, we'll focus on what will really help Akeeyu, Sam, Fitz-Hume and Millbarge via a paypal button instead of...

A Little Levity

2007-03-17T02:27:32-07:00

Is is just me, or do most of these look better than some of your own embryo photos just before transfer? Also, I wondered via email to Julie about this study. I mean do I just order a small pine...

"Sweet vermouth on the rocks with a twist."

2007-02-02T06:16:10-07:00

A friend alluded to Punxsutawney Phil in an IM conversation very recently, and in an homage to her, and in honor one of another friend's (and my) favorites movies, Groundhog Day, I feel compelled to stick my head out and...

Limbo

My assignment, courtesy of Julie, is to let you all know how things are going lately. I have typed out snippets, only to erase them moments later. I’ve considered IM’ing Julie and asking her to delay posting anything so that...
