Welcome June ICLWers!

Welcome to my blog!  Have a seat, stay a while...this is my first ICLW and I'm not really sure where to start!!! I haven't had the time to do an "about me" section yet, but if you scroll to older posts I did do an ABCs on my fertility.  So under the ICLWs  site, I believe I listed that my blog was mainly about the 80s, TTC, and MFI.  So…without further adieu: 

80s: I'm a kid of the 80s and proud of it! Every friday I try to do a "Flashback Friday" post that has something to do with the 80s, sometimes its toys, sometimes its food, (actually twice it has been!), maybe this week will be music!  I got the idea from my local radio station. Every friday they play music from the 80s in the morning, and it makes me so happy going to work :) Lately its been the one consistent thing I can blog about because our TTC road is moving along at a slow place (more to follow). 

TTC/MFI: Yup, thats us, we're trying to conceive…and failing as of yet. Which sucks, I hate failing, and I refuse! But some higher being as a different plan, so try try again for now.  DH is 33, and I am 30 (steadily approaching 31..barf) I had been on birth control for about 10 years and thought for sure (like everyone else) we'd be knocked up in no time.  Fast forward to a year later, and still no baby. Well, no human baby at least.  We've got the best furbaby around…no really, she is the best :)  So far we're still waiting to see if I am Hypothyroid (waiting on a second bloodiest) and Monday June 20 is DH's 3rd semen analysis.  All in all it seems as if we're battling male factor infertility.

We're pretty laid back as a couple, and we thought we did everything in the right, logical order: education, career, house, finances, living as a couple and enjoying life just being "us" and then, when we decide to pull the trigger and start a family, things didn't fall into place as we expected them to.  You never expect for life to be like this. There are good days and bad, and on the bad days I like to go around reading blogs because lets face it, misery loves company, and sometimes, my real world is far to full of fertiles and precious grandchildren.  

I had issues with coming up with a name for my blog.  I didn't want it to strictly be about TTC, but lets face it, its a pretty big deal in our lives right now.  If you decide to stick around and be my friend, I'm warning you now, I tend to be a smart a$$, so consider yourself forewarned.  I like to talk about random things, pet peeves and so on.  One of the biggest for me is when people use the word irregardless…I've had big arguments about this!  I've got a few other "non-words" that I hear every now and then that make my skin crawl.  So I figured, hell, I'm not writing about anything earth shattering, and this is basically just a place for me to vent when everyone is tired of listening, so screw it: Let's Conversate About Irregardless. Ha. makes no sense, and is absolutely wrong, but its mine and I love it.  

Thanks for stopping by and reading my ramblings, I promise things will get juicer once we delve further into this whole TTC process (lets hope b/c I'm not getting any younger).  If you're struggling for a comment to leave, I'll throw you a bone: What are some of your favorite "non-words"?  Happy ICLW
