Happy Valentine's Day!

My hubby was very good to me this year...he gave me some diamond earrings. We are going to dinner later, and I'm pretty sure there will be some flowers waiting for me when I get back from lunch. I gave him a leather coat...he was very excited.

However, all of that pales in comparison with the gift that we got yesterday. We found out that I am pregnant! The last two weeks of waiting were sooooo difficult. I had so many symptoms, but I wasn't convinced that it wasn't all in my head. Now I have to resist the urge to go buy a 20 pack of pregnancy tests...you know, just to make sure the doctor is right.

We decided not to tell our families yet...we want to get past the first trimester first. But I think people will start to figure it out before then. I mean, my boobs are HUGE. And my boo-tay seems to be spreading by the second. I just hope and pray for a healthy, happy pregnancy, and a healthy happy baby (or two). :-)

Missing in Action

I've been MIA or a few weeks....just busy, preoccupied, and I general, I haven't felt motivated to write. So here's my first attempt to try and get back in the swing of things.

Baby Update
We just did an IVF cycle and now we are waiting to do a pregnancy test. I feel very emotional, weepy and tired. Not to mention the nausea. And the constipation. Ugh. My husband made me mad over the weekend, so I'm not really talking to him right now. (It's better if I don't talk, because I might say something I'll regret later.) I forgot how crazy you can feel during the period between the transfer and the pregnancy test. Anyhow, I should be able to take a test next Tuesday.

TV, the Love of My Life
Lots of notable television lately...Grey's Anatomy is one of the best shows on television right now. Sunday after the Super Bowl, my dad was complaining that he did not want to watch that "chick" show. By the end of the episode he added it to his TiVo so he won't miss any future episodes.

I thought the Grammy's were going to be the regular, run-of-the-mill awards show, and for the most part, it was. I enjoyed U2 and Mary J. Mariah was okay, but she really needs to work on her live performances, maybe learn to dance or something. Kanye's fashion (and I use the word loosely) irks me. What was with the leather driving gloves? 1975 wants his clothes back. But, the highlight of the evening was Sly Stone. In summary: He looked like a hot, steaming bowl of deep fried MESS! How did he get his hair to do that? My favorite accessory is definitely the giant Sly belt. A woman on the radio said he looked like a pterodactyl from Jurassic Park. My buddy K said he looked like Stripe from the movie Gremlins.

What's the lesson here? Just say no, people. Just say no.




Speaking of mess...my guilty pleasure lately has been the Flavor of Love. I guess this is VH1's answer to the Bachelor. Flavor Flav is looking for love and entertaining me all at the same time. I hate being this snarky, but this has to be said. Flav looks like a raisin. Do you remember those claymation raisins from back in the day? The California Raisins! Flavor Flav! One and the same! Anyhow, these women are really serious about winning his heart. I guess times are harder than I thought for single women. Or, some girls will do anything to be on tv. The best part is the eliminations at the end of each show. Each girl's picture is laminated on a giant clock necklace, like the clock Flav made famous. If you don't get a clock, you are eliminated. As he hands each girl a clock, Flav says "Girl, you know what time it is." I'm not sure why this cracks me up, but it does.

Chuck D is somewhere hanging his head in shame.
