Digital cameras

It looks like we'll finally be entering the 21st century this year. We're going to get a digicam before our vacation. Hooray! I've wanted one so much b/c it's a bit more difficult to share regular photos w/far-away family.

The techie dude in my department said either Canon or Sony would be the way to go. Woo! We're going to go to Best Buy or Circuit City this weekend to look at what they have. I'm so excited!

Vacation plans

I think we've figured out what we're doing after Dan takes the Bar exam. We're going to fly out to California, rent a car, stay with my friend Bren overnight, then drive up the coast to Portland to see Dan's aunt, uncle, and grandmother. That will be quite the adventure! I'm already looking forward to it.

I realized I couldn't be that close to Bren w/out taking the chance to see her. I mean, c'mon! We're on opposite coasts, and I'm supposed to go to Portland and be that close??? So we'll get to meet up with Bren, Charlie, and (woo-hoo!) sweet baby Elliot, who will be born in May. What a treat!

Makeup sex is a good thing ;o)

And we weren't even fighting! I'd been feeling rather lonely for awhile, and last night, when we were trying to get intimate, I just flat-out told Dan, "I haven't felt so distant from you the whole time I've known you." We started talking, and he committed to spending an hour each day with me (8:30-9:30 p.m....so don't call during that time!). After talking through that for awhile, I was soooo turned on. We had some really great sex! Whew!

Meal planning

I don't like it. I have no ideas whatsoever (other than the fact that I currently want a burger even though I just ate two corndogs), and that's weird. Where did Miss Never-Without-an-Opinion go? Grrrr.....

Regaining confidence

I'm feeling more confident about this cycle as each day passes. I'm sure I regain my optimism each cycle in the same way, but it still feels new! :o)

Conviction

God's really been dealing with me about keeping up with the house. I am not a good housewife, and I use my status as a working woman to rationalize it. I know I'm bad about keeping the place clean. I've been rereading Feminine Appeal (see the sidebar), and I'm so convicted! I asked Dan last night what he'd like me to change, and it's to keep the living room more uncluttered. Guess I have a mission now, huh?

Recovering

I think I'm starting to feel a bit better. I keep having occasional crying jags, but they stop eventually, too. Oh, well! It's not fair that the disappointment of not being pregnant is paired with the rollercoaster hormones of my period.

Hermit

I seriously feel like finding a hole and crawling in it. Maybe no one will turn up pregnant or try to tell me about how I'll not want to labor in the showers/tubs at the hospital if no one can find me.

Kicked in the stomach

I thought I was having a really good day. I was, in fact. Then I went to the restroom with a coworker (Danielle), and on our way back to our cubes we stopped by the Willow Room (where the consultants for one of our major initiatives hang out/work). Someone mentioned a bomb that our director had just dropped on them, and then said we probably already knew about it. What was it? Mary, another coworker, is pregnant.
I told her that I am, indeed, happy for her but that it will probably take awhile for a happy face to show up. This is hard.

Not yet

I don't know why, but it's still not our turn. It hurts.
