fantasy land

I have been deeply embedded in tww fantasy land for the last few days.  Fantasy is great but it really does make you feel really stupid when reality sets in.  Humour me, nonetheless, while I report the following imaginary symptoms…

twinges – in my uterus. Lots of them.
pains – in my thighs. And in my boobs. [...]

Making the tough decisions

Ducks and I have a dilemma.  Technically speaking, we’ve had this dilemma for about 6 years now. Our dilemmas has a name.  It’s Millicent. She’s our very naughty tortoiseshell kitty.   Our dilemma came into our lives  when I was in a pretty low spot and insanely thought that a cute little kitten would be the [...]

family ties

My Mum is so excited about becoming a grandparent that it’s actually comical.  Though she vaguely knows we are TTC, we certainly haven’t shared the gritty details with her.  She’s bossy and way too demanding to be entrusted with that kind of information.  Very early on, after I gave her an icy response re our [...]

3 dpo? maybe?

A lovely online friend offered me some very wise words about Fertility Friend a few months ago. “Fertility Friend is wack!” Never a truer word spoken. Who knows when I ovulated? I think it was yesterday. FF doesn’t. Perhaps I should take bets?
So, what do you think? I reckon my timing was probably quite good, [...]

Play with me, part two. Clues!

Would it help if I threw somes artists out there?
Be Good Tanya’s, CocoRosie, Peaches, Northern State, Tegan and Sara…told you it read like the music list of a very compliant lesbian!
There’s a few more too but I’m at work and have to look like I’m actually working, so flicking back to my blog every 2 [...]

Play with me!

It’s an egg-y kind of day and I need distractions because we did our first of 2 insems this morning and I’m already feeling impatient…
Stolen shamelessly from Grace at What if No Ones Watching?

The job for you, dear readers, is to correctly identify the songs from which these first line lyrics come. [...]

I’ve seen the future and it’s not pretty!

I had a glimpse into the future last night. My mother is going to be a NIGHTMARE grandparent.
She hosted a bbq last night and my step brother and his wife brought their 5(!) boys (!!!). We don’t have a lot to do with this side of the family because the rest of my step siblings [...]

My time

The eggs are preparing to drop, the moon is almost full, there’s a fertility festival going on (Easter) and the sun is just entering Aries (I’m an Aries). This is my time! How often do these 4 things happen in unison?
If fertility is really determined by the moon, then I’m truly blessed this [...]

out in the cold

For the first time in almost 7 years of our relationship, I slept on the couch last night.  I’ll probably sleep there again tonight.
Though not quite the drama you relate to sleeping on the couch, there is a small drama attached. Poor Ducks is sick. Really sick. Fever, snot, vomit. She’s got it all. On [...]

extraordinary stuff

Do you ever find yourself favouring a word that you generally wouldn’t use often? For me, this tends to happen with larger than life adjectives. Tremendous is one, exceptional another.
The word of the last few days seems to be extraordinary. The universe just keeps on throwing out things which I am finding extraordinary.
1. The [...]
