Straw Widow?

There is a saying in German, that you are a so-called straw widow or widower if your spouse is temporarily gone. So I guess that’s me for now. I will get him back though for a few days by the end of this week, only to lose him yet again.

It’s OK though, since I take this time to get real useful things done around the house. Except for today because the world’s best TV show is back on. I love Heroes. I can’t wait.

You should feel great!

Somebody searched google for : "I have my oath ceremony tomorrow how should i feel" and found their way over here.
Well, I hope you're excited and happy, the way is finally over.
Congratulations!

No News is Good News.

Or at least, that’s what they say.
Did you know that a viral infection or a bacterial infection could cause your thyroid to go nuts? Now, I’m, not a medical professional, so please correct me, if I am wrong here, but apparently that’s why my TSH levels were off. TSH is the thyroid-stimulating hormone.
So what happened was, that just when I got all my blood work done for the fertility treatment, I happened to have abnormal TSH levels. So they had me repeat the test and that time the levels were even worse. I went to see an Endocrinologist who ordered more tests that kind of supported his theory of me having some sort of hyperthyroidism. So, then he sent me to Nuclear Medicine (fun, huh?), so that they could do a thyroid scan. The doc there asked me I am there, because my thyroid looks OK, maybe a little UNDERactive. SO, guess what? More blood tests. Now my thyroid is underactive which is normal if I really had just an inflammation, since now it’s trying to stabilize itself.
In any way, by the end of this month I will get yet more blood drawn in hopes that my thyroid is OK, which means the fertility folks will be happy and me too.

Sports anyone?

I have added a new blog to the blogroll. Go check out American Legends.

6 more Days

In 6 days, on the 28th, this blog will have its 4th Blogiversary. Since I missed this very important event in the past I figured, I’d better get this out now before I vanish again for a couple of weeks.

About Time

So I decided to scratch the big post I mentioned last week. Because there are continuously new updates it didn’t even make sense any more. Plus, I guess I just had to wait until I wanted to write about all the new stuff going on here.

Well, so what is it you think (or not).
The short answer would be that the husband and I have decided to have a baby. The long answer would be that we’re really special and are going to try In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Since we already know what the issue is, this is pretty much the only choice. We had our initial appointments already and just completed all blood tests. It should take about 6 months until we can get started from what I can tell, however apparently yours truly has a screwed up Thyroid (who knew?) so that has to be fixed first since apparently the thyroid plays an important part in this whole getting pregnant thing. So, I’ll see the doc on Thursday and then we’ll see.

So, that’s what’s going on. We are excited but with caution, especially since we haven’t even gone to the Orientation session.

Still There

I know....lazy me...

Anywho, all is OK. Some interesting developments lately. I have been writing the same post for months now and I don't think it will ever get posted.
But eventually I will post an update. I promise.

OK, back to work..I mean TV :))

Go Patriots!!!!

Oh Please!

That’s all we need. Beckham in the US. As if that will make me watch MLS. NOT.

Go Gators!

I'm Ready!!

Merry Christmas

If everything goes right we’ll be on the road this afternoon and hopefully make it at least half way to Florida. Although this will be short trip it should be fun.
The whole back of the car is full of presents. The only thing left to pack are the clothes but that shouldn’t take too long.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too if I’m not back before then.

Setup?

Just came across this at Debbie Schlussel's site.

This is about U.S. Airways Flight 300 and the Imam's that were removed from the flight. This is an account of someone who was actually on the plane. Her name is Pauline Klemmer. Very Interesting.

Go Navy!

Don’t forget. Tomorrow at 2:30 PM EST on CBS.
Also, following that game is the SEC Championship game. Go Gators!!!

Update:
Navy won and so did the Gators. We’ll talk about the whole BCS Championship later…I hope :))

That long?

It’s been way too long since my last post. Only one after Columbus Day and now we have Veteran’s Day.
Although I do have to work again, I’m not complaining. The people honored today didn’t complain either, right?

Anyway, now I can be even more thankful for their service, since I am an American too!

Thank you.

What happened?

No posts for weeks! I am outraged. Well lucky you, I just got a free extra hour yesterday so maybe I’ll get to post more often now. Right.

Happy Columbus Day

While most of you will be enjoying a nice day off I will be working. Somebody’s got to earn the money.

Work Work Work

To expand on my previous post, I also bake cookies, which I will be doing this weekend to ensure the hubby has an adequate supply for the following week.
Sometimes I just can’t stand myself because I am so great.

Have a nice weekend!!

Best Wife Ever.

Yes, that would be me. Just ask the husband.
I like to have a beer with him, or go to a bar, or even a strip club.
I not only like sports and also watch it with him, I also get him sports memorabilia, which is just what I did.
I am truly the greatest!

Again?

Victim in Murder-Suicide Sought Protective Order

What got me was this sentence:

The murder victim, Jackie M. Lewis, 57, had sought a temporary protective order against the suicide victim, her longtime boyfriend Arthur J. Comer, 57.

Suicide victim? How about murderer?

Oktoberfest

For those of you living in the Washington DC area, Ft. Belvoir is having their annual Oktoberfest this weekend. I know it pales in comparison to the real deal, but it’s actually not that bad. I personally don’t need the food but the beer is good and the people are a lot of fun.
