I had so much fun last night just meeting all the girls. I want in. Definitely. Going to start going to practice.
So much fun that I didn't even flinch at my 10dpiui BFN. (okay, so it's a teeny early, but still.)
I need to come up with a name. The key to the name is it can't be taken nor even like any other names. Here is the ~master roster~. Did you take a look? See. It's an nearly impossible job.
I want my name to be a play on words. Even including my own name. I thought of "sick 'em Nancy" like Sid n Nancy, but "Skid'n Nancy" was already taken. I have an awesome version of Nancy Sinatra though, that it the forerunner of my own ideas.
I need your help. Any ideas out there? Any at all?
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

hehehehe.

oooooooh, I like Shayna's suggestion! I have nothing original, as I'm TERRIBLE at that kind of stuff.
I do need some obsessing help tho, if you have time... take a peek at my chart. FF says I may have o'ed somewhere btwn cd14 & 29 (damn missing temps). I (and several of my chart obsessed stalkers), was pretty sure I o'ed btwn cd20 & 23. I have a bfn yesterday, but it was not fmu.... HELP!?!?!
ok, I dumped in a 98 for tomorrow, no CL's
the temps themselves are lower, but I have a new therm (threw the old one out in a fit of TTC rage, lol)... but look at the pattern, instead of the temps, there's a shift there from cd20 to 24, no?
ugh... I'm so obsessed!
oh yes, I see the shift totally. I was just throwing out some ideas.
Well along the Nancy Sinatra theme there is "These Skates are Made for Kicking Ass" but that's a bit long isn't it.
yep, I see it too
and now, talking to others with faint +, I'm not 100% sure that I had a bfn... it wasn't a glaring 2nd line, so I tossed it, and today was garbage day.
ugh... damn roller coaster!
fmu tomorrow AM it is!
Wait til tomorrow's post- hopefully you will be able to understand this post more. I appreicate your honesty and i honor it more than you know!It truly blessed it and freed me
Nancy, I love that you are getting into the roller derby! What a f-ing cool thing to do! I would like to help pick a name, too bad I am soooooo bad at that stuff. Shayna's is great. I just signed up for a duathlon - partly for the same reason as you, to have something to look forward to and something to focus on other than TTC. Look at us old ladies going out there and kicking a$$!
How about Nancy UnLeished?
My top ten (okay 16) name suggestions:
Nancinerator
Noggin Knockin Nancy
Nordic Nightmare
Full Plate of Hate
Sweetness & Lightsaber
White Trash Compactor
Pale-o-Pain
Rocky Mountain Road Rage
Pikes Peak of Pain
Fire and Icepick
Pale of Two Fisties
PaleoHitChick Period
White-Bread of Death
Red White & Bruise
Red Bite & Bruise
Circles of Equal Anger
(I have diagrams of the last one)
does it have to be a play on YOUR name? LOL : Ali Catraz
