Funny...

Today on perez.hilton I saw that Br@d Pitt was on 2*2* K Street. I thought hmm.... that's the building that I used to work out. I liked that job but that's where we had the satan IT Director. I decided to email me friend out of curiousity. Yep, he was there meeting w/ a Partner (not an asshole). Apparently Mr. wonderful might be a potential client. Good for them. I will not mention their name because they have this false reputation of treating their employees well when in fact it's all a bullshit lie. I just found it funny. I was going to post a comment on PH but I don't want to give them any undeserved publicity. All I know is that Mr. L*re is a real estate lawyer and who the hell knows what that means. I am not a big Mr. P(tt fan. I never saw the "hotness" that everyone else seems to see. Frankly I want to puke when I see those two together. Sure they do a lot of adopting wonderful children and really do give back with is great but they are just "movie stars" and no one in DC reallly cares about that shit. I guess I do otherwise I wouldn't be writing about it huh?

I met a friend for lunch today and I had some pretty bad Indian food. I did very well by not drinking any soda today and drank tons of water. I want to make some green tea tonight with raw honey and some of the ginger powder. I feel good.

Doesn't DC know that they need to shovel sidewalks?

I am sick and tired of almost falling and busting my ass on the sidewalks. Mayor Fenty can't you force people to shovel sidewalks? At the very least can you have the DC government shovel the sidewalk in Franklin Square where thousands walk each day? I pay very high DC taxes and would like to know where that money is going. Today I was lucky enough to get my neighbor to drive me up the street. The sidewalk was covered with ice and the street wasn't cleared yet. On my way home after stopping at the organic market (looking for turmeric pills and ginger powder) I had to walk in the street on a steep hill hoping not to get hit by a car. I love snow but sick of living in a city where they don't know how to deal with the little snow that we get. Obama had a good laugh about it and he should! DC shuts down for a little bit of snow and ice. Being a native Chicagoan we never got snow days unless there was 10 feet of snow.

Had a pretty good day today. I had some interesting conversations. I am tired. Mr. M has a bad cold and I am trying to avoid it at all costs.

Welcome to my new home

Welcome to my new home. I needed a change and love my new home. DC was hit with a lot of snow (6 inches) which is a lot for this area. A lot of people stayed home because several schools were closed today. I decided to go into work a little later since it was tough walking in the snow. What the hell is with people in DC not shoveling their sidewalks? The streets weren't even plowed at 10am.

I can't wait until Spring comes and the weather gets earm and comfortable. I have been really tired these last few weeks.

I am hot.

I had a very interesting conversation with my father tonight. He sent me some photos via email that he took when he visited my cousin's in Arizona. He had to give me the "story" behind each photo which was nice. I know that he just wanted to talk to me on the phone. He also asked me "So when am I going to be a grandfather". He knows the trouble and the miscarriages that we have had. He didn't say it in a non supportive way but rather a concerned way. I hope that I can make him a grandfather. In one photo he had a t-shirt on and when I asked him what it said it said "Cancer can kiss my ass" pretty funny. That's my father.

That stupid show the Bachel*r is on tonight. I never watched it really during this season but was oh so curious who this guy would pick. It's the most absurd thing that I heard of that someone would actually propose to someone who they never had any life altering scenarios with. I met my husband almost 15 years ago and I know him SO much more than I even knew him 5 years ago. I am embarassed to say that I even watch it. Anyhow, it's tivo'd so that I can just skip to the end and see who this guy picks. I think it's rigged. I can totally see myself with you blogedy blogedy blah. This guy grosses me out how his kisses each one of these chicks. It's not that he's ugly but creepy in some gross way. He looks for any reason to stick his grody tongue down the chicks throat. I want to puke.

Strange dreams

I had some really weird dreams last night or this morning. I didn't wake up until about 11:30ish and I think I went to bed at 1:30am? I slept well and have been since getting our new filters. I did wake up cold a few times because I decided to turn the heat off since it was 60 degrees here yesterday. I hate being hot when I sleep. I usually just wear a light cotton tshirt to bed. I am very particular in my bed linens since I only sleep with a good quality cotton. I have really itchy skin and anything else feels scratchy like sandpaper.

Back to the dreams. This morning I had a dream that me and my cats were in the bathtub and my cats were under the water. Apparently they were just sitting there as they always do and I panicked and took them out of the water. They were "living" under the water like this was normal. The second dream that I can remember is that I went to some store and had to go to the bathroom. I always have these dreams that I need to go to the bathroom in public place and the stall door never shuts and I have to go #2 in front of people. Yikes. too much information but it's something I always dream about. After I used the bathroom I went to some store or something. While leaving the store I went out a back door which let to this other room and in that room there were a lot of different people standing around talking. I was trying to figure my way back out when someone said we go this way. Then I was on some sort of roller coaster. I know this dream has to deal with any phobia that I might have because I HATE HATE HATE rollercoasters. I have never liked them. I am terrified to go on one. I have been on a "little" one before but none of those really terrifying ones that you find at Six Fl@gs. While on the roller coaster I did ok but then we stopped and at that stop you go off and were in some park. While on this rollercoaster I met this guy who said he was a friend of my friend Natasha (who I completely trust). He said that we could make our way through this park. IT wasn't that easy. This park was full of criminals and you were told for your safety that you would need to run really fast to get through it. I started running and ran into some scary people but then Mr. M woke me up (thankfully). This particular dream was one of those dreams which is hard to wake from. Frigging bizarre.

For those reading this blog who also struggle with infertility there is a great new website out there. I found it reading Martha Stew*rt's daughter's blog on Whatever Radi*. Al@xis really does respond to your comments.

It's been a very long week. I found out from someone that 400 people were laid off from one of the largest law firms. Crazy huh? A lot of them lawyers. DC has thankfully pretty much stayed afloat but some firms are getting hit hard primarily due to the industry their clients are in. All I can say is that healthcare is BOOMING. Corporate is also booming because of all the mergers/acquisitions. I am not a lawyer (thank GOD) but I am sure as shit busy. I am hoping that my boss is really looking for someone to hire to help us out.

I want to do my IVF this spring and come hell or high water I am doing it. My boss has been really stressed out lately and a few days ago I had to call him to ask him about some client/meeting that was being set up that no one knew anything about. We have this group which shall remain nameless who think the sun sets and rises on them (it's disgusting and down right shameful) but the shit is what it is and whatever. So my boss kind of snapped at me but I just said "Uh, ok" and let it go. Honestly I completely forgot about it. In the morning before he even takes his coat off he walks to my desk and says "Mrs. M (my first name) I am really sorry that I yelled at you, I just wanted to apologize, I was up thinking about it last night and I shouldn't have yelled at you like that, I know you have "my back" or something like that, more than anyone" I just nodded, "Yep, I do" and it's fine. Really I forgot about it and let it go. I told him that we all get stressed and I get it, but again he apologized. I don't know why he made such a big deal of it. I feel that you have to let people vent do whatever they need to do to get through that situation. I have been treated 1,000 times worse from my previous motherfucker boss. I am really lucky to have the boss that I do.

On Ash Wednesday I went to Mass after work. It was standing room only and it was a great mass. Lately I have been listening to a lot of things. I also have inquired about a few things which deal with energy healing, etc. I don't really want to write about those things here but will share anything that I might learn and should share. I feel that I am in a good place now and it's where I want to be.

Have you ever seen someone sleeping sitting down in a chair? My husband was working at his computer tonight and I could only see the back of him. He had moved to the right and I yelled out his name. It scared the shit out of me. He was sleeping but I had thought something happened. It really scared me for a moment.

So far it's been a productive day

Woke up late (went to sleep late). I got up at 4am and Mr. M was working. When I woke up he left for work. He's really been busting his ass and I worry about him. Mr. M has the kind of mind that ALWAYS has to be busy. His business is doing well (thankfully) even though the economy has slowed down. He has some high end clients which are quite famous politically but I will not write about them here.

The housing market seems to be getting strong again because houses are coming on the market. We'll just continue to try to save money until we find something. The other big question is when we'll do our cycle. The air purifiers is doing wonders in our place. I have noticed a drastic difference in the air quality and this makes me quite happy. I did a lot of organizing today, washing clothes, etc. There's a ton to do but I will just do it as I can. I am really anal about my desk being clutter free at work and it's a bit crazy. For some reason my space MUST be in order. I even wipe my desk down weekly. And I had the nerve to tell my boss that he's anal? HA HA He is when it comes to putting out cables neatly. I understand the point but I can never get them that neat. Maybe it's a guy thing but I really don't give a shit how the cables are gathered.

I have taken a break from the Faceb**k thing since it seems like such a waste of time. I am not sure why I created a page in the first place. It's nice to get back in touch with people but it's still kind of boring which brings me to this blog. I write on this blog only to get my thoughts down. Sort of a "release" and as much as I would love to create a blog with photos I am resistant to do so. When I get pregnant and want to show baby photos etc. I'll create a blog and password protect it. Somehow I just it doesn't settle right with me to have photos of myself out on the internet for all to see and I want to be able to write about what I want to write about. I don't access it from work because they are the last people I want reading about my personal life.

There are many items on my check list:
1. Pinpoint time to do IVF
2. Start accunpucture
3. Go for a teeth cleaning
4. Go for a physical exam
5. Exercise more

All of these things are things that will prep my body for pregnancy or just to be healthy. I have nearly cut out all soda and sweets. I have been drinking a lot of pineapple juice (which is said to be good for the uterus) and eating more fruits and vegetables. I have noticed that my breast pain hasn't been as prevalent and I am thinking that the soda has a link. I am still having a cup of coffee each morning because I desperately need it to get through the day at the "induced high blood pressure" job. I may not be grammatically correct but I don't care.

Oh and one more thing..have you seen the Ri*anna photos of her beaten up (allegedly) by that arshole? I can't believe that those pictures leaked. I feel sorry for her that she has to be victimized by an arshole and then by the media. It's awful and whoever did it should be ashamed of themselves. I hope something good comes from this since she's such a role model for young girls that it's NOT ok to have anyone ever put their hands on you. And why isn't he in jail? Even if she didn't press charges (which she would be crazy not to) why isn't he sitting in a jail cell?

Happy Saturday!
