I’m sitting in the computer lab at the community college, as my class was let out two hours early today. Andrew and I carpool to work and school, so if I went home, I’d have to come right back to pick him up after class. Therefore, I’ve got free time on my hands! Oh and if you have free time, check out his stunning artwork. Naked chicks abound, beware! 

That’s where you come in. Hello!

Thanks for reading about my boredom. I’m just going to fill you in on random stuff now.

I was looking online at the Town of Gilbert Crime Statistics. Could somebody please tell me how August 2005 has a rape rate of -1? Did somebody get un-raped? WTF?! Luckily our town doesn’t have a homicide problem as of yet. Holy cow though, we have a lot of theft and robberies. Did you know that we are more than 10 times more likely to have our cars stolen in the driveway than if it is parked in our garage? DUH!

We saw V for Vendetta this past weekend. It’s like The Crow meets Phantom of the Opera. A little too gory for me, but I must admit the special effects were cool.

Andrew and I have been talking more about adoption these days. I think he’s finally getting more comfortable with the idea. We’re planning to start paperwork later this year. Time to start considering home equity loans to pay for the whole thing. Adoption is so dang expensive, it’s unbelievable.

My Cisco class is getting much harder than before. Tonight I actually got a 72% on the module exam, while the first five I scored perfect 100% on each. It’s getting way too detailed for me and I wish it would just be done with. Luckily I’m almost done with my Photoshop CS class at Rio Online.

I think I’ll pass on classes for the summer and fall this year. Come in May I’ll have my Linux certificate from Chandler-Gilbert and I need a break from school. The middle of May starts our annual swap at the District Office where we work 4x10s instead of 5x8s like the fall and spring. That means I’ll have Fridays off and can resume my genealogy volunteering.

I’m reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for the second time. I’ve read books 1-5 at least three times apiece. The series is so exciting for me because I’m not a reader, so to have something I can understand and consider and enjoy is a true rarity. I read one chapter every night before I go to sleep, and doing that is helping me get through it a lot faster than I expected. Maybe I’ll even pick up another book after this. Or, maybe I’ll just read this series again! Who knows.

I’ve been asked to speak at Arizona State University on April 8th to the batch of upcoming Management majors. I’ll be giving a 10-minute hoo-ray on why Management is such a great major to be in. Hmmm…. I better collect my thoughts on this one.

Andrew and I are getting ready to take Mom and her friend Barbara out to California for Mom’s birthday. We’re going to the Getty at Malibu since it is finally open after years of renovation. I’ve also requested tickets to see The Tonight Show with Jay Leno again. I had lots of fun the first time so I’d like to go again. Then it’s off to England in July with the whole family! I can’t wait to visit London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, and the rest of the UK. It should be lots of fun! Hopefully Andrew’s passport arrives soon.

Well I’ve occupied most of my spare time here at school. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed my update. Mostly, things are pretty boring in my life. Between school, work, school, work and more school, not much is really happening. May should bring some free time and vacations abound in June and July, so more blogging will likely happen then.

Take care, my dear loyal readers! Until next time… Alohamora!

Check, check, check it out! Gizoogle.com freakin’ rocks my house. I crack up so hard when the most boring of webs sites are filtered through its slangmaker. 

Check out my blog, Snoop style. Fizzel my nizzle sugar!

1. People always ask me if I have kids, or when I’m going to have kids, or why I don’t have kids, or…
2. I have PCOS so I always miss cycles and am constantly wondering if I am pregnant
3. I know I can GET pregnant with surgery, but can’t emotionally deal with going through the process all over again
4. People insist that if I relax it will just happen, and they refuse to understand the medical reasons behind why I can’t get pregnant on my own
5. We are not 100% positive that we can’t get pregnant, it’s just most likely the case, and we’ll never know for sure
6. I can’t listen to my favorite Madonna song because I sang it when I really was able to “dance with my baby” before my miscarriage
7. I hate the looks of concern and sorrow on people’s face when I tell them I can’t have kids
8. I hate it when said people then come up with the idea that we could adopt instead, duh
9. I feel like I’ve let my family and my husband’s family down because I’m a failure
10. No matter where I go, I’m always in line behind or in front of a mother with her kids

12. I buy pregnancy tests knowing that they will be negative but I can’t stop myself from buying them anyway
13. We still owe thousands of dollars from our first miscarriage
14. I can’t even volunteer at the school because I’m not a “parent” and they all think I’m some kind of weirdo for wanting to help because my kids don’t go there
15. When my friends get pregnant they get all weird about it and either don’t want to tell me at all, or tell me first and try to be all careful like I’m going to hate them because they are pregnant
16. Most of my friends resent me because I’m a DINK and can travel anywhere I feel like and buy whatever I want
17. I feel like a failure toward my husband because he can’t have a biological child
18. It has all but ruined my marriage because of all the guilt and sorrow and depression being infertile has caused (but we’re working on that)
19. I’ll never have a little clone of myself running around the house
20. I’ll never get to give birth to my own child and experience a pregnancy again
21. I still have scars on my abdomen from the surgeries, reminding me every day how I got them
22. I still have the video tape of our ultrasounds because I can’t bring myself to throw it out
23. I have moles on my face from when I was pregnant that will never go away, and I remember every time I look in the mirror where they came from
24. I spend an unknown amount of time thinking about why this has happened to me
25. I constantly wonder if I’ll ever stop thinking about why this has happened to me…
