Well, I've had multiple phone calls that fall into good news/bad news. Let's go ahead and start with the bad and get it over with. My principal finally called and they decided someone else gets to go full time this year. I still have a job, they see me there full time eventually, blah blah blah, but I don't get the contract. About two minutes after I hung up with her. . .
The IVF nurse called. We're doing IVF!!! I hadn't really announced it to anyone officially since I didn't know when we could start, but it looks like we are going to be able to get the cycle in before school starts in August. Like just barely squeezing it in. I will probably not be able to take part in the commencement for my Masters, but I'll get over it. We just need to hope that my dysfunctional body does its thing without the hormones this month and gives me a nice short cycle. Think low progesterone thoughts! I should start my two weeks on the pill in about two weeks with ER and ET taking place the week of August 10th.
More good news. . .according to DH's pal Veejay (or something else that sounds like a dirty kind of word) at Dell, my laptop has been shipped and should be arriving tomorrow. With any luck at all (and really, I think I'm due a little bit of luck here) it should be here first thing in the morning. Which means I will be hanging out in my living room ready to jump the DHL guy. Or girl. How freaked out would they be if I kissed them?
Oh, and please, how impressive, two posts in less than 24 hours. Maybe this blogging thing will work out after all.

Bad Blogger
So I'm a bad blogger right now. I don't know why this would surprise me at all considering that I have no less that 5 diaries around my house and my parents that would frequently have large jumps in them. Like months. Or years. I just have a hard time committing or something.
But right now, I completely blame my lack of internet access on my non-blogging. I miss my laptop. All the time. It is sad how reliant on technology I am. I should be more Zen. I should take more walks. I should not feel like I am laying in wait for my husband to come home with his work laptop and pounce on it. But come on. Here was my morning a few days ago dealing with the Dinosaur Dell that lives in our office.
Wake up. Good morning Lily (she's the dog. I would show you a picture if I could.) Walk into office. Bump the mouse in hopes of waking up the dinosaur. Go downstairs. Make coffee. Come back upstairs. No response. Reboot the dinosaur. Go take a shower. Notice after the shower that the computer is still loading. Wait for it to get to the welcome screen. Click on Jen. Go finish getting ready. Come back. Open Internet Explorer. Read three chapters of a book while waiting for it to open the home page. Bang head on desk and cry.
And you get the picture. I'm an addict, I get it, but I have a happy little life on this computer. I have friends (Hi Nesties and NEO girls!), I have email, I have photos to access and Google is one of my favorite things. I won't even talk about my Sims that are refugees on our external hard drive right now, but let's just say that if my new computer doesn't get here soon, I'm going to go crazy. Apparently there was a fire at the battery company. That is what is now causing the delay. I'm not joking, we've seen the photos on the internet. It's not pretty.
But really, you don't want to hear my sad story about the computer. I would love to tell you that I have exciting IVF news from my appointment this morning, but we're still waiting. I don't think we're going to get this in before school starts. I am waiting to hear back from the IVF nurse at Dr. Nash's to get started on a timetable. In the meantime, I told DH we are going to go ahead and throw a Hail Mary and try to get knocked up the old fashioned way this month. I have absolutely no hopes of success, but we'll give it a try. I even considered buying OPK's, to take us back to the early days of naive hopefulness. I'm pretty sure I know my body by now though, and we'll see what happens.
If I can figure out pictures this weekend, I will post some. We went to St. Louis this past weekend to see my best friend and her family before they move to Belgium. I have approximately 700 pictures between our two cameras, most of them of an adorable little pudge of a 7 month old named Zachary who is my favorite nephew. No miracles promised, but we'll see.
