Give Thanks

Just a few of the things I am thankful for...


1. Love. Adam is my soul-mate who supports me in every way possible.
2. My family. We have our ups and downs, but they really are my foundation. 
3. Laughter. There is little better in the world than the laugh-so-hard-you-cry feeling. 
4. Fun. Who doesn't love a little bit (or a lot!) of fun in their lives? 
5. Friendship. There is no way I could survive without my friends. Love you guys! 
6. Home. This is something I usually take for granted, but I heart my home!
7. My health. Other than my hostile uterus,  I'm a pretty healthy girl and I'm so, so, SO happy about that. 
8. Kisses. There are all sorts of kisses, but all of them are so awesome. 
9. Books (and the library, where they let you take a stack of books for FREE)
10. Weekends. Ahh, to be work-free for a few days. Love it! 
11. Change. It scares the crap out of me sometimes, but it can be a wonderful thing if you embrace it.
12. Now. It's awesome to live in the moment. The only time we have is NOW! 
13. The changing seasons. I heart you Fall.
14. Positivity. Look for the good in everything and you will find it...especially true these past few months.
15. Bubble Baths. There really is nothing better on a cold winter evening!
16. New Places. They can be scary sometimes, but the excitement is part of the fun! 
17.  Expressing gratitude. Taking the time to appreciate just how lucky in life I really am. 
18. Netflix and Graboid. Thanks for the laughs, tears and scares...just no clowns please!
19. Hope. Sometimes it's hard to find, but it's always there, waiting to lift me up. 
20. A great glass of wine. I'm talking about you Gigondas & Mosel.
21. Crockpot dinner on a Sunday evening.
22. Health of my family – now and continuing on.
23. Challenges in life that has made me who I am. They may suck at the time, but they always make me a better person.  
24. Emotions. Sometimes it's scary to feel things deeply, but it's also very wonderful. 
25.  Coziness. It feels so good to cuddle up and be cozy with a great book (or person...Adam!).

Keeping Secrets

Image
I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first...

Dilemma

Image
I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit...

Start Spreading The News...

My trip to New York City was completely amazing but I'm not going to lie....the re-entry to life has been difficult this past two days. After 5 days away I thought I'd return refreshed and ready to jump back onto the work/life wagon...I was wrong. Is it Friday yet? The highlights of my trip were many. But first...I had a moment. When we made it to the hotel, the emotions that had been building the entire day and week came bursting out and I cried and cried. Oh, how I cried! Uncontrollable, sloppy, snotty bawling that pretty much claimed an entire box of tissues. You see, the morning that we left my period started...a full 5 days early. I was crushed. I was sure that this was THE cycle. My emotions got the better of me but I quickly re-grouped and a little voice chimed up saying, “Go splash water on your face and get out! Go and tackle your NYC bucket list head on” And tackle we did! In short, we took in two shows on Broadway, made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, saw the Statue of...
