Thanks for the encouragement, ladies. Just another 12 dang long days before my next cycle starts. It is creeping by.

Chicago has 6 inches of snow coming tonight. It is like the middle finger to Spring if ya ask me.

We are going to see A Trip to Bountiful at the Goodman Theatre tomorrow night for a change of pace. Goodman - Goodman

Have any of you heard of this blog that is making the news rounds? It is called Stuff White People Like. It seems to be making fun of white people or more specifically pointing out humorous cliches like St. Patrick's day and vintage t-shirts. I've heard of it several times lately and it showed up on the drudge report today.

Susan update!!!

Susan has the flu AND pneumonia. Everyone MUST stop kissing her!
She is being admitted for fluids and antibiotics (won't work on the flu Susan!). She'll be on later-her DH is bringing her laptop (yay!!!).

Susau-I so hope you feel better.

Okay, so DH made some really yummy Mac-n-cheese earlier this week (not from the box kind). I saw him put flour in it and it grossed me out. But it tasted really good. Anyway, I can't get the thought or doughy pasty taste out of my head. I feel like barfing. I am hoping that this is a good sign. It is just really strange. Yuck. I want to yak!

Oh no Susan! Rest up in hospital land! We're thinking of you. Make sure you get lots of good soup to get those fluids up.

Kelly - Glad you are back home recovery! What a rough hospital week. Liquid diet yuck! We missed you!

Josee - I never did Clomid so no help there but Jen's got lots of advice for clomid crazies. Snow S ucks!!

April - Thinking of you and Mel today!

Brenna - Have a safe trip and we'll miss you!

One of my good friends had her second child early this morning so I'm headed to the hospital to visit her later today. She's one of these fertile myrtles that gets pregnant on the first try both attempts! She has an absolutely nuts first son and a daughter with this one so I'm hoping for easier times for her on the second go around. Aiden woke up again in the middle of the night last night. Hmmm. A week of sleeping through the night and then back to a wakeup for two nights now. Always changing!

Rachael, Aiden wants you to notice him and only him. To keep your focus, he likes to mix it up. If he sees relief in your face that you've gotten his new pattern down, he'll change it on you.

Susan, I hope you are comfy over there and that they don't have to keep you long.

Hey I'm popping in for my lunch break and I wanted to see if anyone has heard from April? Can someone please text me with the results, I'm not going to be on until later, if at all.

April I'm thinking about you and Mel today, we are all here for you always. Hugs!

Okay ladies I hope all is well and you all have a great day. I think of you often, I promise. Loves ...
