Welcome ICLW kickoff!

Since it's day one, I'll do a little quickie about me. Then hopefully I will fill this week with funny stories. I haven't told "Scary Guy Pills" lately - it's a must read.


10 things about me:

1. I'm 36 years old and fucking HATE it. HATE it. Age used to never bug me because, well, it never interfered with anything. Now that I'm getting older, shit is changing on me and it's the first time I'm noticing my age. Grrrr. I hate it.

2. I curse. A lot.

3. I'm really sarcastic. This ends up with me accidentally "offending" people all the time. So here is the rule of thumb: If you are offended by something I say to you, ask yourself if I'm mad/angry/in a fight with you. If I am, I probably meant it. Since this only happens maybe 1% of the time, it'll probably end up I was simply being sarcastic. I don't like mean people and that includes me. I just come off that way at time.

4. I'm in roller derby and I fucking love it. My derby name is M.urder.R.ita and I play on the Ca.ndySn.ipers for the Pik.es P.eak Der.by D.ame.s. Want to be a derby girl and live in colorado springs? The next recruit night is at the end of summer and I can tell you all about it. Let me know.

5. I'm opinionated. My favorite topics to discuss are usually the touchy subjects. I am pretty unafraid to tell you my viewpoint and tell you my opinions, regardless of how unpopular they may be. BUT, I try ~very hard~ to keep an open mind about the other side of the topic. Just because I think one thing, I don't thing everyone should think it too. I welcome a debate or discussion. But I don't go for personal attacks. Be "pro" your side all you want, don't stoop down to dissing the other side. We all have the right to believe what we want.

6. I'm ~not~ religious. And due to that, I may offend the religious types by taking the Lord's name in vain, which, I've heard, is kinda a biggie in the rule department of some churches. I don't mean it and I promise I try to not do this. But I do occasionally. And although I'm not religious, I am spiritual. I do believe, I just don't think anyone has the ability to define it. This is why I don't comment besides even rarely reading other blog posts which are heavy in scripture or God talk. I don't mind other people are religious, it doesn't offend me, it's simply not my thing.

7. I "used to be" infertile. I am still infertile in my heart and really, my whole being, but I have been able to conceive 3 little ones. My history for each was (I will talk about the pregnancy on my other blog):
~ #1 - Conceived on C18. I had a lap done, HSG, took clomid and was about to do my first IUI when I got my bfp.
~ #2 - Conceived on C1, much to utter shock and disbelief. No way. No. Fucking. Way. I was suddenly "one of those".
~ #3 - Conceive on C19 after 3 unterine surgeries to remove scar tissue, many medicated cycles, 3 IUIs, 1 mock IUI (everything for IUI was done except we had timed intercourse instead), 1 IVF and got a late BFP on 11dp3dt with an initial beta of 15.

8. I've had a lot of surgeries. The 19th will be next thursday when the Dr removes my right ovary and fallopian tube. (It's being twisted from scar tissue.)

9. I am a total tomboy yet I have a passion for Coach handbags and expensive shoes. I have not really collected too much of the latter, maybe a few $100 pair, but I am coveting a pair for $695 right now. And it's ~so stupid~ that I am even considering it. (Also, when I discuss the amount of money I may pay for something, it is NOT to gloat about the money I spend. I shouldn't spend it - I am in debt big time. It's really to show how fucking stupid I am.)

10. When I want to watch a movie, I try to watch the last 10 minutes first to see if the ending is any good. If I think it sucks, I won't watch the movie at all.
