SuperBowl Sunday!

I am such an idiot for not having posted this earlier, of course it would only really matter if anyone other than my sister actually read this thing, but I just want to make sure that as many people as possible know what is going to happen today! During the pregame show, Pepsi is airing a one minute commercial that will be done entirely in ASL (American Sign Language) and it will be captioned for those hearing folks not lucky enough to know the language! This is a great coup for ASL and the Deaf community. Please check it out! When the TV goes silent, look up!

House Hunting?

So, if anyone has themselves, or knows someone who has just under 2 million to spend on a gorgeous custom built beach house, check out some pics and fun facts about this place. I can personally attest that it is one of the most unique and fun houses ever built! No cookie cutter construction here!

Ah, taxes!

So, first year doing taxes as a married person, and as a self employed person. As well, have forms for 2 states and hubby has had a thousand and one jobs! Ugh. Fun fun fun.

Sick...for real

Ugh, looks like I won't fight it off, damnit. Oh well. Now time for the Maker's Mark!

Sick...kinda....

I hate being sick, but almost worse than that I hate being KINDA sick. You know what I mean, when you feel it all coming on, and you don't really hurt, but you feel like your throat isn't right, your head kinda hurts, you feel sorta achy. Blech. Now the only good thing about it could be that I head it off before it gets really bad. But if I don't, and I have to go through full blown feeling like crap, in addition to days of building up to it, well that would really blow!

EEEEK!!!!!!!!

Where did my goodreads go?? I just tried to sign in and the page is supposedly not there any longer! What am I going to do??????????????????

Good News

So I am thrilled to death. You know how sometimes you get screwed, I mean you just have something happen to you that makes you want to kick your tires, spit at everyone, scream, maybe run your car into a trash can? Well I have, of course, being the emotional basket case that I can be.

Last month, I drove an hour and a half for an interpreting job, to a place which was SOOO set out of the way that they really should have made a note of that to the agency when they set the appointment. But they didn't. Of course, this is the day that I cannot for the life of me find my phone before I set off. I arrive in the area, should have been on time, but spend precious minutes driving around trying to find the building, which is hidden off directly behind another building. I arrive at the front desk exactly 8 minutes late. They ask me to have a seat and wait, apparently they have started the appointment without me. Now, I cannot divulge much about this appointment because intepreters have a Code of Conduct that says we can't divulge this kind of info. But suffice it to say that this was the type of event that SHOULD NOT have proceeded without an interpreter!

After waiting for a bit more than 10 minutes, someone comes out and says that they won't be able to use me and that I won't be getting paid for the job! I understand that being on time is important, and those of you who know me might find this hard to believe, but I am always 15 minutes early for my jobs, unless I am coming directly from another one and I just got there as soon as I could! So this was a double blow.

Now, the reason that I am soooo happy is that I was just informed by my agency that I will in fact be getting paid for the job! It turns out that my agency stood up for me and pointed out that I handled myself professionally, and that interpreters wait for 30 minutes for the client to show up, they could have waited or attempted to contact the agency to find out what was going on! Things, like life, happen, and their response was ridiculous, especially in light of the small time that I was late. So yay! I am getting paid. HAHAHA to them! And they were rude about it when they told me, so I really like the feeling that they got it stuck to them! Ha!

Disappointment

I call it disappointment, because while I recently found out I was pregnant, I almost immediately lost the baby. I hadn't even truly believed that it was real before it was no longer so. I haven't cried, well not much, but I did tear up when I had to tell my husband that it appeared that Daddyhood was not lurking around the corner. I knew he would be devastated, although he took it well.

So here I am, not pregnant, but trying to keep positive and telling myself that overall things are good, I can apparently get pregnant, contrary to what the doctors have told me so far. Hormone therapy is not something that I look forward to. But that is battling the fear that I will begin a vicious cycle of emotionally and physically draining pregnancies and miscarriages, because that is in fact common with my condition, endometriosis.

So I keep trudging through day to day, noticing how EVERYone seems to be pregnant or have babies, and I say, that WILL be me one day, it will. And I hope that I am right...

Paragraphs

I just want to apologize for anyone brave, or bored, enough to read my blog. I DO write these in paragraphs, but for some reason it just isn't showing that way. Thanks for trying to get through it.

I have been chastised...

My blogorophic sister has warned me that I might lose my blogger license if I don't get to adding to this real soon! So here it is. I guess I could tell you all that I am pregnant! It is my own little holiday miracle. This is so special because I was not supposed to be able to get pregnant without hormone therapy because my ovaries are lazy, just like me! But here I am. Preggo. Whomp there it is (don't ask, I don't know, I just type).
