Blah...

Is how I feel about everything right now. School is killing me, and I'm swamped at work. I feel like I am barely treading water. It's so frustrating to me because I'm a total perfectionist and I don't have enough time to do anything with the level of detail that I like to.

On the TTC front, I have to admit at this point I feel indifferent. Do any of you ever feel this way? I have totally forgotten why I was even so excited to start on this journey and I really just feel numb about it all. Is that wrong? I worry that maybe it means deep down inside I'm not ready, or that I don't want it enough? Or maybe its just an ego-defense mechanism kicking in? Meh.. who knows?

White Noise

WHITE NOISE is a cautionary musical inspired by real life white separatists that re-imagines the adage “when good men do nothing, evil happens.”

Eva and Kady Siller have established a small following as folk singers promoting messages of white power. They are discovered by a successful New York manager who convinces them that they can penetrate the world of mainstream rock/pop, dramatically increasing their power, by simply coding the lyrics to their hate songs. Indeed, powerful packaging and a passive public are a dangerous combination.

Frighteningly entertaining, WHITE NOISE is a parable for our times, exposing a hateful reality to which we are immune. Designed to educate audiences about the inadvertent dangers of extremism and its mainstream penetration, WHITE NOISE asks riveting questions of each of us and offers a glimmer of hope into our future.


This weekend some friends are and I are going to see this play. I'm super excited, as we don't get much good theater here in Post-Katrina New Orleans. They are hoping if this show does well, more wills start to come to the city. Should be interesting. Other than that, I have a full weekend of school work. Hope you all have a great one.

Phantom AF and Weigh-in

So stupid AF is planning mind games with me. I've been spotting since monday, but its still not full blown AF. Starting yesterday, I've had bright red spotting, which ruled out any change in my mind that I am KU so now I am just waiting. Its very odd for me because I usually have a very heavy AF, so I really have no idea what's going on. Annoying. I'm just keeping my mind focused on July 27th which is when I go in for my annual, and am hoping I can get a game plan together. For those of you who have undergone testing and/or treatment, did you stay with your OB if they offered IF treatments, or did you head straight to a RE?

Weigh In Week 6
Previous Weight: 160.2
Current Weight: 158.8
Lost this Week: 1.4
Total Lost: 6.2

Confession: I usually weigh in on Tuesdays, but I refused to report my weight yesterday because I ate chinese Monday night and was all bloated from the MSG (160.6). I weighed this morning again, and I was back to my non-bloated self. So yay for a loss!!

Fishing & All that Jazz

This weekend my younger sister who lives in NYC came in town to celebrate her 25th birthday. We had a super fun yet exhausting weekend!!! She got in late Friday night, and Saturday morning at 3:30am we all woke up to go deep sea fishing with my mom's BF. DH and I had to be at my mom's house by 4:00am so we could all meet up and drive down to SE Louisiana. We had to arrive at the boat by 5:00am. The boat pulled out of the dock at 5:15am and we didn't get back in until about 7:30PM!! Then of course you have to clean the boat and the fish, so we didn't get back home until 10:30pm!! Needless to say it was a VERY long day. But we all had a blast and managed to not get too sunburned!


Some of the Loot!!

I woke up Sunday bright and early to bring papa to church, and then we met up with my mom, her BF, my sister who was in town, DH, my older sister and her FI for a birthday brunch!! We went to my absolute favorite brunch place, Ralph's on the Park, which was having a Jazz Brunch! It was soooo yummy and we had a blast telling all of our stories from the previous day's adventure!! It was a great weekend.

In TTC news, I am 10 DPO and of course just started spotting, so I'm betting AF will show later today or tomorrow. I'm disappointed and discouraged, but hopefully when I go to my annual at the end of this month I will be able to get a game plan together with my doctor.

Weekend Recap/Weigh in

Well this weekend was a total blast! I got to spend a ton of time with my sister who is in PT school in Atlanta and stayed with my best friend from college. It was a total blast!! Add to that, I got to eat at one of my favorite restaurants of all time, Rosa Mexicano, and I'd have to say we couldn't have had a better weekend. It was a really fun weekend, and I had an extra hard time dragging myself into work on Monday!


Weigh In Week 5
Previous Weight: 160.4
Current Weight: 160.2
Lost this Week: .2
Total Lost: 4.8

Slow and steady wins the race, right? Hehehe. I was a train wreck this weekend, so I was very happy it wasn't a gain. Maybe this week will be the one where I finally get across that mythical 160 barrier.

Happy 4th Of July

DH and I are off to Atlanta this afternoon. I hope you all have a safe and fun 4th of July!
