Goodbye 2011 - Hello 2012


A new year is approaching. You know what that means. Besides remembering to write 2012, that is hard enough...there is more. Yes, more. Those famous New Year resolutions. Everyone has them. Or, maybe not. Even so, I always make them. That does not mean that I will keep them. I make them and wish. Wish that I did not have to. Still, I do. Here are just a few of my 2012 resolutions...


I hereby resolve to

  • Not stress about baby making...this one is going to be tough but I will do my best. 
  • I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer my e-mail.
  • I promise to throw out all of the left over candy canes. I can only crush up so many for cookies.
  • Keep my opinions to myself (yeah, right).
  • Wear something other than Lululemon pants to the grocery store.
  • Stop repeating myself again, and again, and again.
  • Wear something other than Lululemon pants to the grocery store...oops...there I go again!
  • Stop procrastinating ... (I think I just might start next month).
  • Enjoy the sweeter side of life - M&Ms, Hershey kisses, skittles, and cucpcakes &...
  • Be more decisive ... I'll absolutely try to attempt to think about resolving to be more decisive, if I possibly can.
  • Quit making those same excuses...I make the same excuses each year, why I'll do better next year, and it's getting pretty old - this year I resolve to come up with some new excuses instead.
  • If I did wrong and realize it, I will apologize. You do the same. Let us all resolve to do this. If we both think that we are right, well, cheers and let’s resolve to forget all about it. Then, who cares? Right? Right.
  • I will drive more carefully, people are starting to notice the dozens of dents in my car. 
  • I refuse to commit myself to an after the holidays diet. Not fair. I have a refrigerator full of cakes, pies and holiday food leftovers. Am I supposed to let it all go to waste? Never! I will resolve to eat it all and not feel guilty. 
  • I promise to stick to these resolutions for more than a week (even though I never do).

Admittedly, my resolutions are not the most exciting but I'm sure that 2012 will be a little rowdy and exciting nonetheless! So keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times and be sure to tighten your seat belt until it feels a little too tight. And then just a little more. For fun.



Happy New Year!

    I often wonder if the grocery store employees think I spend my life at the gym due to my clothing choices. Not that I care too much, but I'll resolve to at least once make it to the store in something other than yoga pants.... Maybe. I'm sure I'll find an excuse :)

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

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
