A friend who attended BlogHer gave me some web addresses of women she met who blog about their struggles with infertility. I haven't had the desire to check them out yet. Not sure why.I have often thought about whether I should start a blog focused on my fertility challenges, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do so. I guess the optimist in me is keeping hope that this is a temporary

Somehow, I have found myself addicted to Twitter. Chute, I even set Lucy up with an account! It's a great tool for me to quickly let a bunch of people know what I'm doing. It's also the easiest way to learn what's new in technology, sports, and other topics that interest me. You can do it to! Simply find an available twitterer from Twellow who is an expert in the industry and start to follow

Saturday morning was crazy - my cell phone fell out of my bag during morning walkie. Luckily a wonderful woman picked it up and emailed me to let me know she had found it on the trail. How lucky am I? All the chaos meant I had to rush around to make my 9am acupuncture appointment. Of course I had to drive to the city cause San Ramon was booked up... Of course my gas light came on halfway into

I made an interesting revelation this weekend. Most of the people I engage with are Democrats and very few are Republicans. It hit me this weekend that those who are Republican are quite aggressive when it comes to stating their points. There also seems to be an air of defensiveness, akin to a bulldog protecting his bone from being taken away.On the flip side, the Democrats I know are pretty

Inspiration always hits me at unpredictable times.I have been feeling a bit morose lately, like life is happening outside my window and all I can do is sit and watch. I know that this feeling is stemming from new plan to get healthy. A plan that means lots of rest, no alcohol and following a specific diet which is hard to get at restaurants. My lifestyle up until now has pretty much revolved

KNBR (the sports radio station I listen to pretty much every waking hour) has started a new ad campaign for some fertility center in SF. I am finding these ads really obnoxious and annoying. They are stories of different couples who had different fertility problems. But voila! Problem solved at xxx Fertility Center and now they have a bouncing baby. Wouldn't it be great if it really were that

I have a little silver buddha on my keychain. It is a reminder to keep myself in check when I want to cheat and go off my "fertility plan". ie: drink wine, eat white flour products (no crusty bread dunked in olive oil, sob!), eat seafood (doesn't make sense, I know - but that's what they told me). I'm pretty sure french fries are off the list. My goal is to get to a point where I look like my

Okay, the Giants are pathetic. Their East Coast performance has been embarrassing thus far (swept by the Mets, first game with the Cubbies lost).This weekend I have zero plans of the typical "Social Sheila" variety (parties, dinners out, etc - you know the type of plans that require makeup and wardrobe planning) but rather have plans to walk with Anna and Julianne in Tiburon Saturday morning.

Okay, I know you all have been waiting with bated breath to hear all about my acupuncture experience, so I'll put you all out of your misery.Well, I survived. Seriously, it wasn't that bad. Strange, but not unpleasant. A bit anticlimactic really.My practitioner had me lay down on the cot in the doctor's office (very clinical environment). First thing she did was take my pulse.

A worrywart is not something I'm known to be. I tend to let stuff wash over me and I'm not the type to let minor details get to me. Today, I am finding myself in a worrisome mood, however. I am trying to pinpoint the problem and what is nagging at me. I know it has to do with an upcoming "consultation" at THE clinic. This process is so slow and frustrating. Also, they have so many "rules"

I have always said it is the saddest scenario when a parent outlives their child. We received sad news this past weekend that Pete's - cousin's - husband's - nephew (follow that?) had suddenly passed away. He was 23 years old. He had been staying with them. Apparently he went to a music festival over the weekend. The next day after he returned, he felt ill with a fever. He went to sleep and

Has something changed in the world? I don't recall there ever being a time when there was so much focus on babies. It's an epidemic I tell you.

If I have to see her every day, I may need to change our route. THEN, as we're walking along the Iron Horse Trail minding our own business, a nasty man on a bicycle bellowed, "LEASH your dog, NOW!" He was so loud

I am very fortunate to have a group of wonderful women in my life. I can't imagine life without them.My girlfriends respect and genuinely care about each other. My girlfriends share a common perspective and love for life. My girlfriends do not judge or criticize each other. My girlfriends value humor and good conversation. That's not all! I could go on and on... I went away with such a group of

What a day... it's the last day of the month and the last day of the quarter which has implications that only a salesperson can relate to. It all started on morning walkie with Lucy. I had a big goofy smile plastered on my face from the moment I woke up. After a relaxing, fun weekend with wonderful girlfriends, I was in great spirits.Lucy and I set out on walkie. Lucy happily chased squirrels,

That is the theme for the day. I heard back from my big prospect in the U.K. that budget was not approved to purchase my product and "if business gets better" they will purchase in Q4 or Q1 '09. The kicker is that these people have told us this pretty much every quarter for the past 2 years. Is it time to face reality and give up? As a salesperson, I am the eternal optimist.

First off, this is a picture of me & my family celebrating a belated Father's Day. We feasted on homemade breadsticks, salad, grilled asparagus & cauliflower and baked pork tenderloins. Dessert was a refreshing, cool, smooth vanilla flavored panna cotta with fresh mint and raspberry puree as a sauce.My mom is amazing. The reality is she could fry up some plastic forks and it would be delicious.

TGIF. This has great meaning for me this week. After two weeks away from my desk, this week seemed VERY long.But, I survived. My boss decided to "get back at me" by scheduling a 2 week vacation starting July 2. Here's what's going on this weekend for me:Tonight, I will be chilling and watching baseball. G-men vs. the Kansas City Royals... I don't think there is a less attractive game for

Bermuda is beautiful. It was the first Caribbean island I had ever visited. I must say it is quite a beautiful place... pristine, clean and you can definitely get a sense for the British influence.We cruised here from NJ. I enjoyed the experience for the most part, except for the rough seas due to storms off the Atlantic coast. I have a tendency to get sea-sick and the 2nd day of cruising was

Two weeks of jam-packed days on the East Coast and I found myself absolutely exhausted.I ended up sleeping most of the weekend away and I am still finding my eyes shutting around 8:30pm each night.I'll have to blog the fun stories and experiences from my trip.

I am feeling much better, by the way... Phew! sickness aborted.Anyhoo... thought I'd mention my big scare over the weekend. I almost lost my beloved Lucy.I cannot bear to think about life without her... not to mention my husband would probably divorce me.I typically let her walk with me off-leash, much to the chagrin of other dogwalkers who are obedient unlike me. She's usually pretty good at

How hard is it to motivate on a Tuesday after a long Holiday weekend? I am struggling over here. Luckily my 5am call got cancelled.The countdown is on. 3 days till our trip. Definitely getting excited. I can't wait to get out of this cold town (what's up with the heat wave one weekend and rain/cold the next?) and get myself to warmer climates.Yesterday was fun... a little get together at

" Oh my gosh that is super cute about Lucy and her vacation plans. She’s going to have a ball with her ladies and her dog sitter and her (PetSitter) dvd and everything. When you come home, she’ll be like “Oh, it’s you. That’s nice. Now excuse me while I get back to my dvd”. That is freakin adorable that the neighborhood ladies have a soft spot for Miss Lucy, I guess she knows how to win

TGIF holds so much more meaning when it is the Friday before a 3 day weekend. Yipee!!In a nutshell, here's what's going on with me:1. Dealing with conflicting emotions -- leaving my baby is going to be SOOO hard. (she had tears in her eyes the last time I left for just one week). Meanwhile I just spoke with Anna who will be joining me in Miami and I'm really excited for our upcoming trip.2.

I'm not in the mood to blog, but feel obligated to do so. Lame, I know. I'll try to make this tolerable to you all, but I'm guessing it will be a lot of rambling blah blah blah. Guess inspiration comes and goes. I have a not so fun call to make later this afternoon, and I'll be meeting a potential dog walker for Lucy for when we are away. Hopefully I can sneak in a yoga session in

The girl died.How do you

I have been eating so healthy, I think my toilet is deriving benefits!(sorry)I feel like I've learned more in the past week than I've learned in the past year.... With knowledge, comes further questioning and interest, so I've become a search engine hound - seeking more and more information on the subject of Eastern Medicine. I'm also looking forward to my accupuncture appointment next week.I've

I'm onto the "positive affirmation" section of the Eastern Medicine book...They recommend spending about 15 minutes a day repeating the following affirmations:I am healthy and happy, my hormone levels are balanced.My cycle is in tune with my body's natural rhythm.I will conceive a healthy baby when I make the conscious decision to do so.I believe in myself, for I am incredible.I am taking charge

...That's me! I did 30 minutes of an hour long yoga tape yesterday... I am sore today, yikes!As part of my new health kick, I've started deep breathing, stretching and yoga. I have been pretty active most of my adult life... an avid runner and cyclist for years. After one too many running injuries, I retired from running and I'm now a "Lucy walker". Clearly, those sports do nothing for one's

I make darn sure I enjoy every weekend... every moment of the two days off of work are precious to me. I am lucky enough to have wonderful people (and canines!) in my life to help make weekends enjoyable. I made a realization this weekend... there is nothing more valuable than best girlfriends who you can just BE with, trust, and never feel the concern of offending them. There is no pretense, no

I have made a turn in my pursuit to become fertile... I realized this weekend that the process I have been in just isn't working. So, I'm going a different route. Instead of following orders and pumping mysterious synthetic products into my system (oh yeah and spending a boatload of my insurance company's money), I am going to take on an active role. From now on, I'm calling the shots. (I

Last night I dreamt that I was in a car driving on Danville boulevard. I saw a mother and her two daughters on the side of the road and just to the left of them, appeared a lion. The mother panicked and she and the two daughters ran across Danville Blvd... the lion proceeded to chase the girls. All of a sudden, my sister Laura appeared. She had jumped out of the car behind us to go save the

This morning Lucy and I went on our daily "walkie". When we got to her favorite part where the trail opens up and there's a nice sized meadow where she can sprint around and around, I noted that the grass had gotten quite dry and tall.About an hour after we returned home, Lucy started sneezing uncontrollably, clearly she was in agony. It wasn't subsiding so Pete took her to the vet.Apparently she

My girlfriend, Ayelet, wrote about this topic, so I am going to copy her! : )I have weaned myself off caffeine. It's been going well... except for the dull headache I seem to have constantly.This afternoon I was drinking one of those new & hip enhanced water drinks, called "Alive". It tasted pretty good!I started to read the bottle and there was actually a note that the drink has as much caffeine

I have been having really whacky dreams lately... verging on psychotic. I am usually late to meet someone and I find myself lost in a crazy land I don't recognize. Last night there was a big gray and white fluffy dog (not Lucy?!?) who would take my finger in its mouth and flub (is that a word? dunno but it is the only way I can describe it) its lips around my finger. Bizarre. Then, I had my

Update: Giants won today!Unfortunately I was too busy today to spend much quality time watching the game, but I'm happy they won. Something happened to the internet connection at my boss' house (yes, it is crazy, but our "corporate" server resides at his home!) so working was truly painful as every application we use was ridiculously slow. I got the funniest email from the IT Director of a large

I'm getting ready to watch the final game of the Giants vs. Rockies series... I love day baseball and luckily since I work from home, I can have the game on in the background while I work (sshhh! Don't tell my boss!)I am pleasantly surprised by how well the Giants are doing this year. I truly thought they would be an embarrassment to the Bay Area. Instead, they are young, scrappy, and eager to

I found myself a bit envious of the check out gal at Safeway this morning. She has been working there for many years so she knows me by now -- it's kinda creepy how grocery store checkout folks know so much about their clientele based on their purchases. I digress.I don't even know this gal's name, but she is eternally friendly, cheerful and has that "customer service atttude" that never seems to

I'm having a rough morning. After another fun filled weekend, I should be feeling energized and inspired. Instead I feel drained and empty. I get too optimistic about stuff then when things don't work out... well, let's just say I don't deal well with disappointment. When I want something, I typically get it... usually I get what I want by working hard, persevering, drive, discipline,

Looks like my eggs are happy as can be, comfy cozy, hanging out in my ovaries for now. I am thinking I may as well move into the Reproductive Science Center as the new instructions are for me to come back tomorrow if I get a positive OPK reading and Wednesday no matter what. As if I have nothing better to do! Don't people work?!? Cause really this stuff ain't cheap. I pay a copayment each

I love V, she's my personal fertility expert. Today, she sent me a vague email alluding to something called, "self-guided work" -- as something I should be doing right now in light of my situation. huh?She's at work right now so I'm having a hard time getting a clear answer... but my head is spinning wondering what I'm supposed to be doing that I'm not. No wonder I'm having such a difficult

When I want something, I want it yesterday.Today was the first day I was supposed to use an OPK (ovulation predictor kit) and the test read positive. Trying not to get too excited, I had to stare at the two pink lines for a while. I had never seen a positive ovulation reading before (over 6 months of testing). As per direction from

... that is the amount of money the Giants are paying one pitcher (Barry Zito) over 7 years. Can someone please pay ME $126 Million for 7 years? jeez, I'd settle for 1 Million.Here's the deal, the guy stinks. He hasn't won a single game yet all season and he is the first pitcher in Giants history since the 1920's to start with a 0-5 record. I would feel like a criminal if I were him for pulling

I have always loved Charles Schultz' notion of simple pleasures.Happiness is... watching your beloved dog run through the meadow... in tall grass so all you see is the crown of her head and flopping ears emerge every second or so as she pops up to get a quick view.I better go find the anti-tick spray!

Today Pete and I were noticing how filthy dirty the bedding (where Lucy sleeps) has gotten. Pete noted that he'd given her a bath two times in the past few days.This dog loves to be as dirty as possible. As soon as she possibly can after getting a bath, she'll go outside and roll around in the dirt.I said to Pete, "you'd think she'd get a clue that she's just going to get more baths if he keeps

What a fun word. Makes me think about Hawaiian dances or something. I spent some time on various "Wiki"s this weekend... let's see, there's Wikipedia, Wikihow, Wiktionary and a bunch of others. The concept is each site is a giant online resource that can be edited by virtually anyone. So it's a continually evolving project.Anyhoo, I wanted to do some research before showing up to the Seder, so I

No... I didn't win the lottery. C'mon now...You KNOW I would not be sitting here at my desk at 8:40am writing in my Blog if I HAD won. ; )Anyways, it's Monday morning. Mondays are always the worst for me as the long week ahead seems so daunting and unsurmountable.Luckily I tend to pack things in over the weekend... and as usual, it was a satisfying weekend full of fun, time with friends, chill

Check it out. This morning, I went to 7-11 to check my lottery tickets and one of the tickets awarded me $48!So, this afternoon I went back (slurpee time) and I thought, "what the heck?" so I plopped down $5 for a quick pick ticket.Come to find out the jackpot for tonight is $48M...Hello?!?! Is this an omen?

Whew! Glad the weekend is here. I don't know if it's the economy but things have slowed down for me, big time. As a Salesperson who relies on commissions to meet my salary requirements, that is NOT a good thing.I try to spend some time each day researching what could possibly be the next hot product or technology. It gets confusing because the needs of my customers (IT Directors, CIOs, etc) are

I'm making a conscious effort to get emails out to Kathy more frequently (see previous blog entry).I just received an email from her and I had to highlight stuff that she wrote.
