Sometimes I think about things. Things like wombats, tricycles, and wombats riding tricycles. Check out my photo collection. It’s more interesting than my other collections…like USB drives and hair ties. A good facepalm is the greatest form of flattery. My dogs will beat up your honor student.

When all else fails, there’s always tequila

Sometimes the craziest decisions turn out to be the right ones. Especially when those decisions include tequila. Last summer,  when we decided we were ready to get on the track to start a family,  we knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Actually, it was part of the reason we began ...

How The Media Celebrates National Infertility Awareness Week

Did you know this was National Infertility Week? Yeah, I didn’t either. And I’m one of them. I said that in a creepy voice though I’m not sure why. In retrospect, it sounded like a much better idea than it really was. Like eating a packet of Taco Bell Fire Sauce ...

How We Met Our Neighbors (Part 2: How To Lose At Neighbors)

This is part II of my "How We Met Our Neighbors" blog/novel and, personally, a reminder why I shouldn't be allowed to speak. Ever.  Sunday... I was in the back yard trying to use my 112 pounds of blonde, sweat and tears to pummel a shovel through the weeds and grass that ...

How We Met Our Neighbors (Part 1: How To Win At Neighbors)

Note: I'm posting this in two parts since this is a blog post and not a memoir.  First off, apologies for going MIA for the past few months. I’ve been about as good at keeping up my blog as I am belting out the Christina Aguilera parts of “Lady Marmalade” – although ...

I'm not pretty. But I'm easy.

Recipe: Grandma’s zOMG Chocolate Cake

Let me start out with one word: Mouthgasm. Okay, so maybe not the most appropriate word to use in describing something that my dear, late grandmother concocted and that I, as a fat kid, dove into head first.

List: 12 Remarks That Can Make Infertiles Wanna Go All Chuck Norris

The Oregon Trail. (Well, sort of. I'm pretty sure this road was made by four-wheelers, but it was WHERE the trail used to be. It counts).

Road Trips: Yay! Murder Parks!

I know I said I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but one of my goals has been to get out and explore more of our area. I wanted to break out of my normal routine and go beyond the usual “hang outs" -- Wal*Mart and Fred Meyer (but sometimes we ...

Victory Dance Central

As I said in my last post, I decided to get a Kinect for our X-Box for my birthday present. Hubby and I had been looking at them a few days before, but decided we shouldn’t spend the money  -- plus, we were getting ready for our New Year’s Eve ...

Happy New Year! Now, Tell Me Why I Suck!

I didn’t finish the reverb/resound challenge for 2011 and I’m OK with that. It wasn’t that I just forgot about it or “gave up” (well, maybe gave up a little), but I felt that it was becoming more of a pain in the @$$ trying to think up things to ...

Forgiveness (Reverb – Dec. 28)

December 28 Forgiveness - What one thing do you need to forgive yourself for this year? I would like to forgive myself for not always saying, thinking, or feeling the “right” things. I would like to forgive myself for misplacing my keys…in the front door…overnight (it could happen to anyone, I just seem to ...
