Staph
Holy crap. Staph for the second time this year! Got it from the hospital both times. I googled pictures to post with this blog, they were so gross and disturbing I could not bring myself to hurt your eyes like that. Mine is not that bad. Just annoying.

Addiction(s)
I have many addictions...the first and foremost being food (as I polish off a sleeve of Ritz crackers), then there is spending money (almost as good as food - but does not make your jeans tight), and TV etc...
My newest addiction is 'WORDS WITH FRIENDS'...It is basically scrabble for the ipad/iphone and I cannot stop playing. I constantly check to see if someone has made a move - and at 11PM ponder as to whether they have gone to bed or are just planning their next move. Keith has threatened to take away my ipad. BUT I NEED IT! Please people get the app...add me as a friend and let make some beautiful words together. My user name is $Dorothysb (the dollar sign is because I am MONEY baby!).
DOIT!
P.S. This is one of my games against Melissa (the person who introduced me to this new drug)...notice her 87 point word. Sometimes I hate her.

VASONA
Spent last Saturday with D&L...
The D'amico family met us at Oak Meadow Park a.k.a Vasona. We had a very traditional pizza picnic, rode the train, the merry go round, and had some ice cream...(well, D&L had popcorn and lemonade).
Fun times!

The Golden Arches
Had McDonalds for lunch today. Ya ya, I know, not conducive to loosing weight.
The smell of Mc Donalds is so gross and makes me sick.
But, as soon as those salty fries hit my tongue,
I am in heaven.

Another One Bites the Dust
Yet another IUI (insemination) gone bad. Last month was our fifth IUI. We started IUI's at the beginning of 2009 with my regular OB. We did three of them using Clomid (oral medication), but because it was not effective we graduated to the Fertility Clinic... WHAT FUN!
The fertility clinic has better (stronger) drugs that supposedly work better. The teach you give yourself injections and you shoot yourself up in the stomach for a week or so. For the bargain price of appox. $3000.00 you too can give your self shots take lots of yummy meds and loose a couple of pounds due to diarrhea. Raise your hand...who wants in?!
Due to cost of this fun, I said we would only try it twice, and if it did not work we would wait, save and continue with IVF. However, I really just want to try ONE more time. I feel like they really did not understand how my body was reacting to the dosages until this last time. I also know, that I cannot become one of those desperate people that just goes crazy and will do ANYTHING to try and get pregnant. I am really trying to be level headed and smart about it - It is hard when it is something so attached to my heart. So, one more time - that is it!
Although my pregnancy test on Friday was negativo (throw in Spanish to lighten it up). I was not as CRAZY this time around. I did not buy 6 pregnancy tests to take at home everyday for the blood test at the doctor's office. I did not lay really still to see if I could feel something in there. I did not talk to my stomach in hopes of coaxing it to become pregnant. Yes, people I do crazy shit! All in all it was a pretty sane run.
So, my very loving and patient husband has had to endure some rough months, and he is on board to continue this roller coaster. My family and friends are great, supportive listeners and the best cheering section a girl could have. Fasten your seat belts, we will be preparing for crazy in one month!
Random thought of the day:
If you have been inseminated and do not yet know if you are actually pregnant, can you still park in the expectant mothers parking spaces at Vally Faire? Well, I mean if there are like a few of them empty?

Inspired By ALYSSA...yet again
As most of you know, (because I know you check my blog everyday!) I have been a little bored with the blogging...but, I think I am getting my second wind. Inspired by Alyssa, I am also going to have a "randoms" blog entry. I do not think I can do it everyday, but I hope to add a little deep thought to your day.
Random thought for the day:
Do you think Starbucks puts crack in their coffee? Somehow my morning is not complete without my Starbucks - and now, I am going broke.
