it's winsprifall outside

A bit of winter. A bit of spring. Now it's 45 degrees and grey. Holy crap-no wonder I feel like I've been run over by a truck. The weather around here has not made it easy for me to recover from whatever crud has inhabited my immune system.

*sniffle*

Just wanted to say :thank you: to everyone who voted in the REDBOOK poll. This helps not only me, but the lovely people at REDBOOK to know how to make the Infertility Diaries be more user friendly. For those 4 of you who said you didn't know where to find it: shift your gaze to the left of the screen, and you'll always be able to see the most up to date post in the little box. The most recent post will be listed at the top. (like right now it's "under the weather")

:thank you: for watching the film we submitted for the 4th International Infertility Film Festival. If you haven't seen the others, be sure to go here. A combination of making that film, and what I talk about here, have caused the wheels to start spinning again. Still formulating thoughts I'll want to share later.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon to encourage and support the U.T.E.R.U.S. (Union To Expedite Relief Until Self-Fulfillment). I know how much support and love this community has to offer: we received such an outpouring of support through Shop to Make Mom or Pop and it warms my heart to know that our community continues to charge "Full Steam Ahead" to help a wonderful person, like Calliope.

There was more I wanted to say, but my med-head has completely washed away whatever it was I wanted to mention. I will say that I have gotten quite good at Guitar Hero--I have mastered playing guitar while sitting on the couch, blowing my nose, and sipping hot tea. There is no sexier rocker-chick out there.

For those of you who asked if I ended up eating all the Krispy Kreme's from my unattended meeting: I had help. The help's name is Mook.

So for now, since my brain has gone to lunch, I want to share a quote with you that my lovely Aunt Cristi sent me in an e-mail this morning (Hi Aunt Cristi!) She has been an incredible cheerleader for us, and I have leaned on her for her wisdom and support. I know you all will appreciate this just as much as I did...

What I like most about change is that it's a synonym for 'hope'. If you are taking a risk, what you are really saying is, 'I believe in tomorrow and I will be a part of it.'
