~ Daytime television is really bad. Even with umpteen movie channels. I found myself watching movies I would never, EVER, admit to.
~ Being sick and doing stuff sucks. I just wanted to lay in bed all day, but kids don't take care of themselves.
~ I went to my "12 week" appointment today. Doc ran out for a delivery right before me. I swear, I love my OB but I haven't seen him since he delivered my daughter.
~ I found out "stop PIO after 12 weeks" means until the END of the 12th week. So that's 13 weeks. And that sucks.
~ I don't have HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis or chlamydia. Must've all cleared up. ~wink~
~ I find the E! channel, "The Soup" fucking hilarious.
~ Why would anyone want to watch anything about tori and dean? It got flipped in under 3 seconds. I tried, really I did. Okay, I didn't.
~ I'm dreading going to work tomorrow because I still feel shitty (sinus infection) but I can't take off another day. Bummer.
... 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

- 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.

Glad that nasty touch of the Hiv cleared up.
Hope you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm sorry to hear that you are sick Nancy! Hope you feel better quickly!
Go ahead and take the day off--I'll cover for you (unless one of those convoluted "corp_id" things comes up, then I'm sick too).
Sorry you're sick, hope you are better today.
Glad all that other stuff 'cleared up' ;o) I think I watched that show for all of 3.6 seconds. Couldn't take it- even the commercials for it annoy me... But I think I am home on friday- so we'll see what daytime tv has in store for me!
I :::heart::: Joel McHale.
Been out of the loop a little - sorry for whatever flack the ignorant ones are giving you. Also, sorry you are feeling puny. Hope it gets better.
Sorry you are feeling yucky but you always make me giggle! Hope you feel better tomorrow!
being in IT...are you able to work from home at all? I love that I can work from home occasionally...especially when I was a pukey puke face a few weeks ago....
P.S going to share my secret on 7/25....hoping I can hold out that long!
I have to admit, I actually tape Tori & Dean. It's totally one of my guilty pleasure reality TV shows. Yes, I am ashamed.

That sucks that you have to stay on PIO until 13 weeks, but the end is in sight! I love the Soup-although I miss the days when it was still Talk Soup. Hope you feel better soon!
My babysitter claims to be addicted to Tori and Dean. She is an otherwise sensible person.
Sorry you're not feeling well. I wondered where you were yesterday.
Want me to bring you some hot chili to clear your sinuses?
I hope you feel better soon! The Soup cracks me up too. :)
hehehe that's funny "must've all cleared up". i love reading your blogs. as for t.v. yeah nothings on during daytime. i find myself watch that lifetime movie channel and of course i torture myself with watching a baby story and bringing home baby, bad shows to watch when ttc lol afterwards i'm always like where's my baby?lol hope you feel better before work tomorrow!
Hope you are feeling better soon and I'm thrilled to hear your naughty bits are no longer dirty...
And you are almost there! I wonder why my clinic is weaning me off my supps and yours keeps you on through the 12th week. Hmm... But the end is near!
Hugs!
After over 3 months of bedrest, I'd bet you'd find Tori & Dean as entertaining as I do...well, just Tori. Dean isn't really all that entertaining.
I am sorry you are under the weather. I hope you feel better soon.
I love the soup and will admit that I do watch Tori and Dean. I tape it though and watch it when there is nothing on t.v.
Amy
I hope you feel better soon Nancy! I'm thinkin' about ya!!
Gee, you must be relieved to find out that your STD's have all cleared up! ;)
Sorry you feel shitty - get some sleep and hopefully you will get to feeling better. Nothing worse than having to go to work when sick.
