Okay, it has been about two weeks since I had my IUI (intrauterine insemination) and I think I’m ready to talk about it, or more specifically blog about it.  Here’s how I will start–I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS.  Thus the purpose for waiting 14 days before blogging.  Now, let me warn you.  This one  [ Read More ]

Today was a Sunday, and i woke up at around 9:30am, finding that Melody had already gone downstairs. It couldn’t have been better if i planned it. I didnt really have anything on the to-do list for today specifically, although there is still a lot of stuff to do around the house. I ended up  [ Read More ]

Today i played in my first real, official poker tournament. It was in the “Chips for Charity” tournament. Here’s the run-down. I registered for this tournament a couple of months ago when Melody’s coworker mentioned that her husband played in this tournament every year. I figured…why not…my bank account can stomach the $75 buy-in (that  [ Read More ]

Tonight we watched District 9. Well actually we only watched the last 45 minutes of it, because we managed to only watch the first half a few days ago. Turns out Melody isn’t a big fan of people blowing up into bits n’ pieces that fly all over the screen….who knew? I quite liked the  [ Read More ]

Remember yesterday when the number of Google requests was sitting around 730 or so? Well, 24 hours later, and it’s at 1477..and it keeps going up. Turns out its pretty popular, and people want to get on the service…..i can’t think of another email service that is offered by NC State that has garnered the  [ Read More ]

Today marked the beginning of the public phase of what has been a very  long and rewarding project at work. Today we announced that NC State will officially be partnering with Google to provide Google Apps for Education for all students of the university. We have been working on this project since, well, forever. I  [ Read More ]

For those that have been following me for a while now, I am an avid loaner on Kiva.org. It’s a microfinance organization, that allows anyone to make small loans to people in developing nations (mostly…although they did open up a USA branch recently). They are zero-interest loans, so they are easier for these people to  [ Read More ]

My doc decided that he would put me on hormones to “launch” me into ovulation, and hopefully help Nick and I with our spawnlessness.  Horray–wait a tick, perhaps I shouldn’t be thrilled with being placed on hormones.  For those of you who do not know me very well, I am a pretty emotional person; one  [ Read More ]

The last day of a vacation is always depressing in some senses, but invigorating in others. Today if i had to put values on each, i would say 75% depressing, and 25% invigorating. I am totally looking forward to getting back to work this week so i can be a part of a big announcement  [ Read More ]

sometimes it’s good to do absolutely nothing for a day. Today was one of those days. Still in Myrtle Beach, we rose around 11:ooam, sat around and chatted until 1, when we went to get some breakfast at a local place. After that, we came back to the condo, and sat around until 7:00pm.
