and then she lost a little more of her mind
- my belly is definitely getting bigger.
- if i press on it, underneath the baby-flab, it's really hard.
- it's the 27th, the day my last two cycles have started, but nothing is happening.
i even wore white pants today, which should have guaranteed that i would bleed profusely. nothing.
we did not pull the goalie until several days after i last ovulated. and anyway, this has been going on for weeks. with all the multiple layers of birth control we've been using, the only way i would be pregnant would be through divine insemination. and i am no virgin mary; no god is picking me for such a task.
this is tiring. i'm sure you're tired of hearing about it, too.
to distract myself, i invited kath over, and she brought charlie, who played with my green plastic cup while we chatted. when she left to put charlie to bed, i made a gigantic mexican pizza, which is kind of a disaster because i stretched the crust too thin and loaded too many toppings on it plus some of the toppings sweated too much, so anything inside the outer two inches of the crust is a soggy mess. i also made lime curd bars, which are coming out of the oven in about 30 seconds and will hopefully be more successful than the pizza.
but i'm still thinking about it.
on a positive note, i won't be thinking about it much longer, since i'm just about out of mind to lose over it.

lime curd bars! i am so freakin impressed. i wanna make lime curd bars...even though i don't exactly know what tghey are. they sound really yummy though.
i'm hoping for non-divine insemination for you...i hear its much more fun that way. my fingers are ever crossed.
and it would be too much of a loss for the world for you to lose your mind; such interesting minds are a rare commodity these days. so hang in there as best you can, for the sake of all humanity...
I've seen the puck do some amazing things to get past the goalie before. :o)
So have I Catherine! By the way lauralu, did you get your haircut?? And I would love the recipe for your Mexican pizza!
Sounds yummy-scrummy as my daughter says.
yeah, i got my hair cut. it's lopsided, but it's out of my eyes. i'm trying to care - i feel like i should care - but i just can't work it up.
my mexican pizza: whole wheat dough, topped with (in order, from the bottom up) black beans and a little taco sauce i mashed into a paste, chopped red onion, green and yellow and red bell pepper slices (i buy them in a bag and keep them in the freezer), assorted mushrooms (i also buy them in a big bag and keep them handy in the freezer), corn, tomato salsa, shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar. oh, and a little crumbled veggie sausage, between the corn and the salsa. it tastes fine, but i didn't sweat the frozen veggies enough, and i rolled the dough thin (that's how justin likes it, although i prefer thick), so when all the extra liquid hit the thin layer of crust, it turned doughy. so leave the dough thick and use fresh veggies or thoroughly thaw and drain and blot dry your veggies.
thanks!
