... 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.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
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.

I'd go with something neutral like pink or neon green. Less likely to get you shot.
I think that's only if you tie it around your leg or let it hang out of your back pocket - but if it's carrying your belongings and is tied around a stick, slung over your shoulder, you should be good.
Hey, maybe you'll start a new trend. Who needs a purse??
... and you would be the hottest hobo the world has ever seen.
Sorry for the bad news on the job. It's been happening to a lot of good long-term employees this year. sucks.
I like navy, myself. However, I'm sure you could be able to find one that's black and white with skulls and maybe some hot pink trim (you know, just so you can show your femininity out there riding the rails?). Ugh. Sorry things suck.
I'm thinking Tie-Dye. That way it matches everything!
You'll be the cutest damn hobo I've ever seen! Are you going to ear your socks and roller skates?
Skull and crossbones?
And anytime you'd come into town we'd totally put you up!
I am thinking of you Nancy -- often!
XO
and another XO

Hobo is in right now, right? Oh and in all seriousness don't worry about my little walk. You've got bigger things to deal with right now, I know!
Hobos don't get the option to choose haha! Glad you are feeling better and less stressed about the whole thing!
How about a tie-dyed handkerchief?
oh poltzie, I'm not less stressed and feeling better AT ALL. The joking is what I do when I get even more nervous. I'm in hell.
I don't care when you comment or post, just that you're not going through this all inside your head and going insane. I like you angry and colorful and posting it all out for the world to see:-)
Re the color, I like red. Show them gang bitches what you're made of!
As long as you don't go in the wrong neighborhood you should be okay.
You will be an awesome hobo, but I hope it is short lived. This sucks.
Maybe I could get you a coach one? Heh just kidding! You wouldn't be a good hobo anyway. Don't worry, it will get better and remember the good stuff-You get to spend more time with me. Ahem, yes that is better than work, Right?
hrm. i say let your hair go crazy...
((BIG HUGS)) i'm sorry Nancy.
Oooh - your right. You would have to put much more thought into your hobo get-up these days than before.
I agree with the multi-color tie dye. But skulls and crossbones are always good . . .
I would choose an organic fabric and something with trees on it. Then the people in Boulder will love you and wanna take you in like a lost puppy :)
Gotta think with your head on that one.
~hugs~
