AI… Say what??

I just watched the American Idol episodes from this week last night (we’re avid dvr users, especially with shows like AI or Deal or No Deal where the whole show is filled with nonsense time wasters). I was in utter shock to see that Melinda was voted off. She is without a doubt the finalist…

Scrapping Mania

I’m almost up to 2007!!!!!!!! What joy fills my heart! ;) Scrapping Mania ensued after receipt of my oh-so-wondrous birthday gifts… you can tell the pages I’ve done with and without my Cricut. This one is out of order, but it’s one of my favs… September 2006 Haylee’s 3rd Birthday Party May ’06 More Bday…

RIP Gilmores…

Sniff, sniff… I watched Gilmore Girl’s final episode this afternoon. I recorded it, since my other half is not the avid fan that I am. I waited until Haylee went down for her nap in order to give my undivided attention to this momentous occasion. To relish the moment, I didn’t even fast forward the…

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mommies out there. We have such a blessed job that we too often begrudge and don’t appreciate. I’m so thankful to be a mommy. I don’t know how others experience infertility with the plaguing thought haunting them that they may never hold their own child in their arms. As…

A Mother’s Day Grand Event

This morning I’m off to another round of acupuncture… I’m not as nervous this time, but still a bit uneasy to be sure. It really doesn’t hurt, so I know I’ll be fine. Chris asked why we are doing both sets of treatments… ie, the Fertility Clinic and Acupuncture. I guess I feel like the…

Pause for Mourning, please…

Tonight is bittersweet for me, as sadly, my most favorite show, Gilmore Girls, is nearing its fateful end. There are only two more episodes remaining, tonight and next Tuesday. What? You think I’m sad and pathetic for actually blogging about this horrendous, just recently discovered news? Well, phooey on you. The really, really sad part?…

Church, Needles & Valium… what a crazy life

Sunday brought a visit to a rather large church not far from us. We did enjoy the service, but it was quite different than what we have been used to. Surprisingly, we were not attacked upon entry into the foyer. :) We were a few moments late (shock) which I’m sure was a factor. The…

We’re on the hunt…

Church hunting that is. There is something about church hunting that is both exciting and discouraging at the same time. A part of me is excited at the possibilities for friendship, fellowship and encouragement, but yet I do “hate” the putting yourself out there in a new and strange place part of it.I know that…

LOST anyone??

I am a fresh addict of LOST. I’ve watched an episode here and there, but have recently begun watching Season 1. If you’ve never watched it, it is a crazy show that seems to be constantly twisting and turning in the plot. Our friends Sam and Heather just recently moved two doors down from us,…

We’ve come to this…

Wednesday was my first visit to REACH, a fertility clinic in Charlotte. We first began trying for another baby in August 2004– which at times feels like forever. I had to fill out a huge packet of paperwork and mail it in prior to my appointment, and I got the impression that this was the…
