Out of body

Sometimes, I read my own bio to see if I am real ... it seems hard to believe.

pins and needles

I went for acupuncture yesterday and it was amazing. Kimberly focuses on fertility and she is amazing. My co-worker recommended her. Wow. I cannot wait until next week. I feel amazingly relaxed.

1 in 4 chance

Day 1, Cycle 4... my gyn said you have a one in four chance of getting pregnant each cycle. That should mean that this month will be our month. We'll see.

Chicken Little

Ok, I am never the one to buy jugs of bottled water or candles but ...

Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- A winter storm is dumping an unexpected amount of snow on the northeastern U.S. today, causing delays of as much as seven hours at major airports in the New York City region and snarling travel along the East Coast.

New York City and parts of Connecticut and New Jersey may get as much as 9 inches (23 centimeters) of snow before it changes over to a mixture of freezing rain, snow and sleet in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Earlier forecasts called for as little as 1 inch of snow in the city.

Thankful my Fresh Direct order is on its way :)

What a diference a day makes ...

We are getting away for a weekend 3/7-9. Baby boy is going to my brother and my parents. We are going here.

It is a light at the end of my everyday tunnel. We need some alone time... love my son, but miss my husband.

I am very cranky today. The pessimist in me says PMS. The optimist says sometimes we all have days like this ... even in Australia.

My nanny

Thinks I am pregnant. Says I have a glow. I think it is because I had a great facial on Friday. Only time will tell. 

Class Act

The aforementioned She had her last day today. She was gracious and classy. It was none the less awkward and I am glad the day is over but it could have been worse. I would love to get a drink, but have no one to go with and wonder if I should just go and have a glass of wine, read my book and await my meeting at 6 pm somewhere near the location. Hmmm...

She

quit. They made me the bad cop. And she quit. And I feel empty and wrong but somehow know it was better that she did. And now I sleep fitfully and make to-do lists and know that she quit, so that I was not over her shoulder. That really sucks.

One Art
by Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn't hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster. --Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Gathering String

From time to time the non-profit secular world neatly entwines with the Jewish philanthropic sector ... I picked this one up on my morning Google alert ...

The first venture philanthropist

Deeply funky ...

I need a vacation or a change of scenery. This is where we spent our honeymoon... and where I would like my ashes to be scattered. And where I would like to be now ... right now.

Truth ...

I love GNC Peanut Butter Surprise smoothies at 310 calories and 3.0 grams of fat. They are amazing ... so amazing that I have trouble believing the listed calorie and fat info. Mind you, that does not stop me ... yummy.

Also I must admit that I bought a box of the Hollywood Diet chocolate chip cookies. Yesterday I ate one as lunch and one as a snack. They are so funny! I feel so 1970's but whatever ... who can refuse the concept of eating cookies to lose weight?
