IT’S HERE!

I just checked the UPS tracking site and my new yogurt maker is en route to my very doorstep!  I’m just hours away from trying my hand at duplicating the oh-so-delicious, oh-so-expensive Greek yogurt we buy at the fancy pants grocery store in Fort Worth. If you can find it, you owe it to [...]

I still live in Texas, right?

I mean, I wasn’t suddenly transported to, say, the Amazon rainforest without my knowledge, was I?
Look, I appreciate the precipitation.  We needed it.  This is the first July I’ve ever seen here with soft, green grass as opposed to crunchy, beige grass. But to overcome three years of drought in about two weeks? A tad much. Can’t we share some of this with, say, [...]

Happy Blogiversary!

1.  Cost of three unmonitored clomid cycles, four monitored clomid cycles, one lap/hysteroscopy, two IUI cycles with injects, one IVF, countless sonograms and blood draws…..Way more $$$ than I want to think about.
2.  Cost of trip to Whole Foods on a Monday to get a piece of cake…$4.50

3. Getting to eat that cake on an otherwise dull Monday afternoon at work with all of my fellow Stirrup Queens [...]

Quilty goodness

I finished another quilt this weekend and was playing around with all of my photos in Picasa and thought I’d post a slide show of all the ones I’ve made so far. I’m actually missing one, but I’ll add it in when I find it’s photo. The newest one is the last slide.

What to do

What do you do when your support group has moved on to a new phase while you’re just standing still? Do you continue to lurk, hoping that eventually you’ll catch up to everyone else? Do you squeeze the congratulations out past the lump in your throat when the inevitable pregnancy #2 announcements get [...]

Yep, I know my husband

This is the email exchange S and I had last Thursday (cd34) when I had my pre-provera beta.
Me:  in case you were waiting on the edge of your seat….
I’m not pregnant
S:  Well, I was curious. I was thinking about that possibility this morning.
Me: When did you become such an optimist?
S: Actually, it was probably a mix of anticipated [...]

The state of the uterus address

It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d give a brief update because I know everyone is holding their breath, just waiting to know what’s going on with my girly bits.
Today is cd38 and my fifth day taking provera.  Whee.  Aren’t you excited?  Two more days of that, then probably another four days and it will be cycle day 1. At that point, I’m going to start the birth control pills again [...]

We aim to please

Stacie requested garden photos.  We can do that.  It’s in a state of flux right now.  We’re finally starting to really work on the backyard.  When we moved in, we focused our limited yard improvement funds on the publically visible parts of the yard so the neighbors wouldn’t revolt.  Now we can address the private [...]
