Our Profile…Finally
Originally published at Welcome To The Dollhouse. You can comment here or there. Well it isn’t in the books yet, but thanks to the lovely Joanna, we have a visually appealing Dear Expectant Parent letter/profile. She’s even put the profile up on her site: Our Chosen Child. Feel free to view the design there and [...]
Why I Have To Be Done With LouF
You know the feeling that comes from pounding your head against a brick wall? And I don’t mean in the way that you start to feel after your 7th IVF or the umpteenth disaster that screws up your planned cycle. I mean the attempt to explain what infertility feels like to a) a non-infertile and [...]
More On Amazon & The Baby Registry
I want to thank everyone for their support! Every call, e-mail, letter and fax is so appreciated. I’ve since had two contacts from Amazon about this issue. The first was last night from Amazon.com Executive Customer Relations, an entity I had never heard of before. Stephanie writes: Hello from Amazon.com. I’m sorry for the inconvenience [...]
Amazon.com: Adoption Unfriendly?
Well I have moved from annoyed to pissed. Yesterday, you might recall, I tried to start a baby registry at Amazon.com. For some unknown reason, Amazon requires that you have a due date or arrival date listed in order to create this registry. I, however, have no such information since we’ve not been matched and [...]
Snow & Mattresses
Today was a snow day for me. After that horrible travel day back from Kansas City yesterday, I was thrilled!!! Though I did have to work from home, the fact that I got to stay warm indoors wearing sweats instead of venturing outside to dig out my car was fine by me. It’s weird that today [...]

Who can keep those city names straight? On the way home, I regaled the peeps with war stories from my previous job, like the [...]
What Size Comes Next?
OK, so I went to Target yesterday to buy a few cheap bras for my ginormous boobs. I bought three bras sized 36DD (I used to be a 36D). And yes, my divatudinous self was surprised to discover that there was such a thing as a $12 bra. (I know, I know, I am a [...]
How Smart Is Your Foot?
I so had to steal this from my friend Katie. This is so weird that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can’t!! 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor [...]
Weekend Whine
This was a bad week. Most of it involved work, but unfortunately I’m not allowed to talk about that here. I’ll be reported to the powers-that-be in the Mothership. Sigh… Let’s just say that it’s hard when you keeping telling upper management something and they just refuse to listen. Hopefully that little snippet won’t get [...]
Recipe Of The Weekend 2/3-2/4
OK, I forgot to tell you all that I like to cook. And even with my half-a-kitchen, I still like to do it up on the weekends. Last weekend’s meal received the AdoringHusband seal of approval so I’ve decided to share. Chinese-Style Stove-Top Pot Roast with Noodles From Cooking Light Ginger, soy sauce, star anise, [...]
