(Late) Weekend Recap in Pictures

Saturday morning wine bottling. We may or may not have consumed more than a bottle of this  by the end of the weekend.
Food tour to St. Lawrence Market, Evergreen Brick Works, Kensington Market & The Distillery  District

A four course cheese dinner at Cheesewerks. Tina is just entering her cheese coma in this picture, mine soon followed
I made friends with a mime in Kensington Market...the conversation was very one sided

I met Rob & Michelle's perfectly beautiful 5 week old daughter Athena. She has the cutest little nose and mouth...perfection in a 10 pound package!
I acted a fool...as usual
My sister and I

 The weekend was just what I needed...I came home feeling calm and relaxed. Come on life...bring it!

    A CHEESE DINNER!?!?! OMG. Stop. Also- love the name Athena!! Despite living in Athens, I've never heard of anyone naming their daughter that! Maybe it'd be a little too obvious living here? Still. Very cute.

    You have such an amazing spirit and presence about yourself Janet. I just love following you and I love that you have fun regardless. LIke that saying " dance like no one is watching". That reminds me of you in so many ways.

    Love your pictures! You look so pretty on your red top. And if I may say, that baby suits you so well. I want to see a picture like that with a baby that's yours VERY soon. xo

    You DID need that. Wine and cheese and foolishness? How wonderful. I think traveling is the best cure for most things.

    Lovely photos! When I was a poor student my friends and I used to go to St Lawrence Market for 'brunch' (i.e. touring our way around the building and grabbing freebie samples at each stall) on a regular basis. Ah, the memories...

    Glad you had such a blast! You and your sister look so much alike!

Keeping Secrets

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
