It seems my video was too big. But this is the test one I used to check out my camera. So at least you can see me and hear what I sound like. I'm such a huge dork.
... 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.

OOOH! I love it already, have already watched it three times. I LOVE how it's 15 seconds long yet your sarcasm is instilled in there re. your camera isn't working! :)
I also love how Ella corrects you. And the fact that at the very beginning you look a bit like "what the fuck am I doing!" ... same here! It took me almost six freaking months to upload it ... I really hope you can upload yours soon! Awesome to hear your voice! My last question is .... why don't you twitter? I wanna read Nancy tweets.
xoxox
I mean six months to work out how to upload video, I shot my piece last week.
"Piece" ... who do I think I am?? Oprah?? LOL
Congrats on the new arrival. Thanks for stopping by. Yes, what a difference 15 months makes. :-)
Oh that's awesome I am sooo gonna do that, nice to meet you, gotta admit you sound a lot more girly and gentle than I expected :P
Sounding hot there lady ;o)
You are all so Amercianly adorable :) you want to hear my voice, you'll crack up with laughter then!!!
You yanks rock!

Hi there- you sound nothing like I expected you too. I don't really know what I expected but it was nice to hear your voice after all these years of stalking you. I think you sound a little bit like Helen Hunt. That's a compliment in my book.

Your voice sounds like Winona Ryder. And, actually, in that video you kinda look like a blond version of her, back in her Heathers day.
Your girls are the cutest. I hope they inherited your sarcastic gene.
Uh oh I think this seals my Nancy crush!
Very cute! I also love how Ella corrects you - she really is a mini-you isn't she?!
Nancy, you've got a great voice!
OMG, you totally don't sound how I thought you would! I have a lower voice than you--haha. You are so cute! It's fun to see you talk and put a voice to the face. You so have to call me sometime so you can hear me say "roundabout" with my Wisconsin accent. I talked to a couple of girls from my message board on Friday, and the one said I sound like I'm from North Dakota! Haha!!!
I was too slow to respond to your last post and object to your assumption that guys don't read your blog. We're just your usual lurkers, stalkers, and withholders, but we're here.
Looking forward to the "real" video for answers to questions--that should be fun.
You know what's weird?
I feel like I've already HEARD you talk and so you sound just how I supposed you would!
Your girls -- omg -- I love the skateboard on the head -- I so wanted a skateboard but my mother denied that particular request...
You both have me totally wanting to post one. Maybe when I let the lasagna and cake digest and my face doesn't look quite so ... ROUND.
XO
Pam
You are too cute! I'm hoping your gallbladder recovery is going much better!!
Love the video, esp with the kids. Gets a new side of you not seen via the e-world.
~~HUGS~~
You really do sound so much different from what I would expect. I remember that phone call when I got my BFP. Isn't it funny how we get an impression of somebody online and then they sound totally different?
Ella's "I'm not" is too funny. Seems that somebody inherited their mom's sarcasm!
Hope you're feeling better.
You're the first blogger voice I've heard and it was actually how I expected it to be.
I am a bigger dork, do not fear ;)

I completely agree with the Winona Ryder in Heathers comment! I can't wait for the real video!
~pounces~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Your girls are so cute, I need to bring over my little ones and they can all play!
You sound so much like I thought you would.. heck.. we kinda sound alike.
Thanks for the email last night, it made me smile...
Talk to ya soon!
~hugs~
