So, both my donor and I received our meds in the mail yesterday. Inspired by the unboxing video meme, I wanted to create a little unboxing slideshow of my own. I won't lie - I felt a bit like a kid on Hanukkah opening up this box last night. Am I a bit too gleeful? Perhaps. … Read More »

Cradled
It's 2:34am. The cats sleep, tucked away in their hidden night places. My husband lightly snores upstairs, the window air conditioner hums its coolish tune as the condenser kicks over. It is quiet downstairs: no cicadas whining or cars rushing by - just stillness and the soft … Read More »
I’ve Become Keiko Ka-boom.
I grew up watching The Animaniacs as a kid; Yakko, Wakko and Dot were staples of my childhood. After this week, I've been having all sorts of flashbacks to one of my favorite segments on The Animaniacs, Katie Ka-boom: There's a good reason for that. Ladies, I've been on … Read More »
On Inevitability: Contemplating BFPs, Blogging in the Limelight and Necessary Naïveté

Wading/Waiting
To be a boulder in the river: worn smooth by the current flowing around it - steady, unmoving, solid footing over the hurried stream. Someday - many, many years from now - the waters will etch away this boulder into a memory, the river rushing onward, carving its path across the … Read More »
Sorry, Disney: Wishing a Child Into Existence Doesn’t Cure Infertility
I stumbled onto this little news tidbit today, buried in a post of various entertainment news dubbed "Morning Spoilers" at io9.com: Here's a TV spot for the upcoming Disney movie in which Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Garner can't have children, so they bury a box with their … Read More »
Mission TZ3 Cycle Update
It's been crickets around here lately, I know. I've been doing a bunch of writing on the side, battling depression and having all sorts of weird feelings about this blog space that I'm still parsing out. Also, since only one person registered for my eClass that was supposed to … Read More »
