I have nothing really blog worthy in my head, but I wanted to get that last post off the top. We're in the midst of October's ICLW and just didn't want that one there anymore.
Hrm.
My favorite color is orange. What's your favorite color?
... 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.

I am currenting favoring pale yellows..but is changes. I also like pink and blues. I am a kalediscope (uh, how do you spell that?!?!)
Wow. I bet orange is a less likely favorite color. A unique choice! I'm a green girl myself.
I love the new header on your blog (actually both blogs).
Blue! Or brown.
Fave colors are purple and green. BTW, I need your addy. I have some socks that are calling your name.
Orange is totally my favorite color. Clothing-wise I look best in green though.

GALAHAD: Sir Galahad of Camelot.
KEEPER: What is your quest?
GALAHAD: I seek the Holy Grail.
KEEPER: What is your favorite color?
GALAHAD: Blue. No yel-- Auuuuuuuugh!- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Sorry I could not help myself: i like earth tones with hints of orange and reds. the cool tones wash me out.
It tends to change. Green is a good favorite. I've been partial to orange lately. It seems to change with the seasons here.
My favorite color is blue. Right now I'm on a teal kick. I looked in my closet and realized I have about 5 different shirts in different shades of teal.
It varies, but I love pastels, especially lavander and soft pink. So girly.
I like green and purple. I wear a lot of green, but I don't think I won any purple. lol Oh, wait! I do have one purple-ish sweater...but I digress.
I wanted to make a comment about your post about going back to school. I think it's a great idea and if you think it would make you happy, go for it! I am a nurse as well, and I love it! (I don't love the drama and politics, but the actual hands-on patient care I dig the most!) Graduating from nursing school was one of the prouder moments of my life. It will be hard, no doubt, but SO worth it!
Happy ICLW!
"Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose"
I like a dark pink best I guess, mostly because I think it looks good on me.
