the catch ups
We got hit with the biggest blizzard this area has seen in a grillion years on Christmas Eve. Therefor, I missed my epic series of GTGs that I had planned. BOO!!! HISS!!!
As a bonus correlary, I didn't have to see my family. H and I had our first alone xmas and our first white xmas, all rolled into one. H made a turkey breast and I made Memaw's dressing. Her instructions were delightful. I asked if it was cooked at 350, and she said yes. When asked how long is needs to be cooked, she said, "Until it looks right." Ha ha. I did pretty good, used too many eggs.
It snowed again last night. We've been doing a pretty good job with our shut-in impression. Yesterday was the first day since xmas eve that I have showered, put on clothes (not just clean p.g.s), did my hair and makeup and left the house.
I am happy to see the 00s go. I have the anxiety about my job and Anasara's siggy make me want to puke re: TTC. I'm pretty sure my anxiety and having to go off all my meds is going to make that whole process when/if it happens a fuckingbowl of cherries.
Re: the catch ups
boo for blizzards.
yay for missing IL holiday dickery!
boo for being a shut in
yay for a new decade beginning!
and i really like the option to hide signatures on the new knot format, or even ignore people altogether as we had with the old knot format.
It was MY family that we didn't get to see. Seeing as my mother had yelled at me the night before, I wasn't too broken up about it. My family has turned into a giantic clusterfuck, and I too, am considering orphaning myself.
I don't dislike Anasara - I wouldn't want to put her on ignore. But I am 99.99% sure that if/when H and I TTC, it is going to be arduous. Her siggy reminds me of that. I am sorry that they are having problems.
i would put her sig on ignore. but i want to put most sigs on ignore, because i just want to. nothing personal.
i miss the ignore feature.
and woops about the IL/biofamily confusion. however, there is something wonderful to be said about a holiday of just the two of you.
you know what, Min? i want to tell you that you are crazy for thinking you may have troubles TTC. but really, i never thought i'd have kids so easily so i'd be wrong to tell you otherwise.
that said, you won't really know until you're trying. and i don't think the majority of people have any troubles.
Min, you know we have already had this convo. I don't understand why you are "claiming" problems. You might turn out to be super fertile.
Let's remember DG. She thought that it was going to be sooooooo hard, and we know how that turned out.
