Update

I've been a MIA blogger more than usual lately. Just a lot going on...

*Taking progesterone right now because AF lasted 30+days. It makes me overly emotional & mean... so you trade one set of problems for another, I guess.

*The house is coming along fast. The walls are up and the roof is going on. I'll post a pic soon. We wrote our first two checks today for appliances. There are so many decisions to make! We have two unique (for lack of a better word) features in our basement... a urinal & a dog wash. PC is also looking for a wood stove. So the man & fur babies in my life are happy. My "wish list" feature... Just take a guess at how much one of these "spa systems" costs... way more than our budget I can assure you. Doesn't it look heavenly though? I mean, it's something I would use & enjoy every single day. I've been scouting C.raigslist & E.bay but no such luck. Still, no harm in wishing!

*Speaking of fur babies, Apple is in heat. I've been reading about it, but guess what... here's one time that all of the infertility research comes in handy. I actually understand what's going on with her and hope she has better luck than me in another year or so if we decide to let her have one litter of little Golden puppies. If we do, it's not for any money. It would be to find a happy, healthy stud & keep the breed going. Anyway, poor girl. Maybe I should share my progesterone!

*New OB/GYN visit next week... there are some issues that I would like to discuss and have checked out before we start the IVF process. Namely, the never ending cycles, high estrogen levels, adeno.myosis... for starters.

*Helped a friend with a wedding a couple of weeks ago and have spent some time editing several of the pictures. I've discovered that you don't have to be that great of a photographer if you can make up for it with editing. So, I've been experimenting with p.hotoshop and it's something that I enjoy. Here's a few that I thought turned out cute... yes, their dog was in the wedding but not a problem for a fellow dog lover:]


*I want to catch up with everyone & comment very soon!

S-mall T-own U.S.A.

You know you live in the country when... this police report is posted in the local paper & it's what people are getting a chuckle out of as the topic for the late night "front porch" chat. (Only after the much more serious chat about the passing of MJ... we're not that far behind times).

Moral of the story below... If you wouldn't do it at W.almart, don't do it!!!

What's bad about...

some time off from work? Channel surfing & ... skip T.LC, skip T.LC... darn it--- why am I so drawn to A Bab.y Stor.y? How about An In.fertile Story? And they pay for all of the procedures to help the couple achieve a pregnancy... I finally might qualify for a reality show! Mac and PC... Let's Make it 3 :]

BTW... AF from h*ll is still here. 21 days & it is cramping (literally) my summer fun. I have an appt. with a new OB/GYN in 3 weeks if I can make it!

Same Blog, No Baby...

I recently revisited the infamous blogroll from SQ&SPJ and had mixed feelings to be surrounded by so many fellow female factor bloggers who are pregnant or parenting. My feelings were all over the place but consisted of (in no particular order)... "Yeah for these women! I wonder how many were IVF/adoption...etc. How long have they been trying? This should give me hope. What if it's just not in our future? I want all of these blogs to get the (P) status." And it's one of those moments where all I could feel was that our status is just a big fat (?)

In Mac and PC World

Garden is growing... something swiped the cucumbers but, other than that, it's surviving:] And...

Charlie is almost 100 lbs. at 7 months old! We adore this Gentle Giant!!! And...


Broke ground on our future house this week! And...


Apple left a big pile of poop in our future basement... hope it's not a sign! And...

aside from the world of IF... that's a few things going on in the lives of Mac and PC.
