More ambitious than I ought to be

22nd June 2009 | 9 Comments

With BlogHer only 30 days away (SQUEEEEEE!!!!), I’ve decided to set a goal of posting every day until then. I seem to have fallen out of love with my blog and I’m hoping that spending some quality time together will bring back the spark. That being said, I make no claims to publishing actual interesting [...]


Impotence

30th March 2009 | 9 Comments

I can’t stop thinking about Baby Emily and her parents, Brian and Katie.  I cried on and off all day yesterday. I thought about them a million times today. Wondering how they were. Wondering if my fervent prayers for a miracle had been answered. They weren’t. I don’t understand. I want to be angry with [...]

I don’t know what to say, except to beg you all to pray for Emily and her family.

So my kid came down with The Pinkeye last week. I took her to the pediatrician on Friday for confirmation and a prescription only to discover that she also had (ANOTHER!) ear infection and some kind of sinusy thing. After a couple of days of meds, both oral and ocular, she’s doing great. However. I [...]


Quick Stones Update

15th March 2009 | 12 Comments

Turns out the kidney stones were not, in fact, kidney stones at all. I had evidence of a ruptured ovarian cyst on my left ovary and a big mamajama of a cyst on the right side. So, if the pain happens again, I’ll know that bad boy ruptured and I won’t get suckered in to [...]


Genetics, Shmenetics

So my boobs are hideous, right? I’ve lost fat, but not skin. This equals SAGGING of EPIC PROPORTIONS. Think “tennis ball in a tube sock.” (You: I so did not want or need that visual, kthanx.) Before my surgery, I promised myself that my reward for reaching my goal weight would be plastic surgery. First [...]


Please tell me if I look like a jackass.

So I went shopping this morning while Maddie was at school. I had an Old Navy gift card from Christmas and it was burning a hole in my pocket. Why am I telling you? Because, once again, I need your opinions. I went shopping by myself, so there was no voice of reason to tell [...]


Lame?

22nd January 2009 | 3 Comments

Is it lame to write a post about posts that need to be written? Well, lame happens to be my middle name. Only I spell it with a K. 1. I need to write my 6 month post-op post and take pics. 2. I need to write about potty training. 3. I need to write [...]


Updates Galore

1. I still need to link those of you that participated in the Six-Word Memoir writing. I’ll do it this week. 2. Maddie’s home! Maddie’s home! I’m thrilled, of course, but her homecoming wasn’t quite the Hallmark commercial moment I had expected. She was in dire need of a nap and burst into sobs about [...]

The powers that be have decreed today Delurking Day. So, if you lurk ’round these parts, show a girl some love and leave a comment. I’ll be leaving comments on the many, many blogs on which I lurk. I’m a professional lurker. Seriously.
