I read somewhere that most new year’s resolutions are broken by the 3rd week in January. I am probably a contributor to that statistic, but not this year. My blogging has gone well, and has actually been quite enjoyable. There’s something cathartic to writing on a regular basis, especially when i do it on the  [ Read More ]

Today I made a concerted effort to watch the State of the Union. I ended up getting 4/5 of the way through it. I watched it in between soccer (Liverpool versus Bolton…Chelsea versus Burnley). Then, i guess i forgot i didnt finish it, because i ended up watching the full 90 minutes of Obama’s address  [ Read More ]

Over the past few days, the weather pundits have been telling us that there is a winter storm coming our way. Pretty normal for this time of year, but for some reason people started freaking out. Today at work, i went upstairs to chat to one of the systems guys, and he was the only  [ Read More ]

I know i said that tonight would be the time to post thoughts about the State of the Union…but that’s not gonna happen. I just got back from Indoor Soccer, and it’s 11:30pm….we had a 10pm kickoff. We won 10 or 11-4, and this time the boots actually worked…well….they worked in the sense that I  [ Read More ]

So, this will be pretty quick. I think my lack of sleep is finally catching up with me, because i’ve been coughing, sneezing, sniffling for the ast 2 hours non-stop. Today was another good day at work…these seem to be piling up. I got a lot of valuable work done, and i learned something new  [ Read More ]

you know how your tastes change over time? I’m not talking about theoretical or personality-based taste-changes…i’m talking about actual changes in your tastes.  When I was younger there were several foods i could not even stomach. It wasn’t a case of me not liking them a little or even a lot. I simply could not  [ Read More ]

Although we received some great news this evening, which I will not be sharing because it is not my news, Nick and I also received some discouraging news tonight as well.  As luck would have it, I started a new cycle tonight, I won’t give all of you readers the exact time, though I know  [ Read More ]

It’s been a few weeks, or months…i don’t know…it’s felt like years…..and i realized that i haven’t given an update about costs incurred. As it turns out, conceiving spawn can be either quick and cheap…you know, the litre of Boone’s Farm and the cost of a bad back from the pickup truck’s back seat. OR….it  [ Read More ]

My slight cold that began 2 days before my IUI, became a full-on, cough your lung out, stuffy nose nightmare on the Saturday following the IUI.  I was miserable for several days.  My favorite thing about the weekend was that I had no idea what I could take that wouldn’t harm any potential growing spawns  [ Read More ]
