ABC's & Follies

So I'm back from the folly scan. As I suspected, the tech told me I had already o'd. I figured as much because all last week my ovaries felt like grapefruits and I was hyper aware of them. Since Sunday, though, the pangs have pretty much dissipated. And, even though I assume my cycle has changed somewhat since the m/c, I pretty much always o'd between CD9 and CD13. Today is CD14.

If this cycle turns out to be a wash, the doc will be calling in a new script for next month & we'll start this ride all over again. Next time - that is, if I'm not already KU ") - I'll also use OPK's. I didn't use them this time around since I just wanted to go in to the folly scan and be surprised at just how many follicles I had. It didn't dawn on me when I scheduled the appointment that I should maybe schedule for CD 10 or so. Anyway, live & learn, right?

So we wait.

(two-week wait)

In the meantime I'm totally stealing an idea I saw on All in God's Time.

It's the ABC's of me and I think a really great way to introduce myself to those who don't already know me.

Here goes...

A/ Artistic - I'm a writer, a singer, an actress, a creator and love any and everything that deals with the Arts.

B/ Brainy - What can I say? I loved school, learning, knowing stuff. I don't know everything about any one thing, but I know at least one thing about (almost) everything. ")

C/ Contagious - That's right, I'm a disease. What I mean is, to know me is to love me. ")

D/ Details - I try very hard to pay attention to the small things because they matter.

E/ Earthy - I love nature. I think there's very little that compares to the smell of the Earth and the whip of the wind. Amazing!

F/ Fertile - I refuse to believe I'm anything but. I name it and claim it daily.

G/ God - Without Him, Nothing is possible.

H/ Honest - I'm honest to a fault. So if you don't want my opinion, you shouldn't ask for it. I am, however, always tactful.

I/ Independent - I've been on my own essentially since I was 14 and I pride myself on being able to thrive in the face of adversity.

J/ Jazz - Love it. Jazz always makes me feel good.

K/ Knowledge - Knowledge is power. Period.

L/ Loyal - I believe loyalty is an enormously powerful trait to possess. A person's ability to be loyal says so much about their character. I don't want people who aren't loyal around me.

M/ Movies - I LOVE movies. Silent film, period pieces, psychological thrillers and foreign flicks are just a few of the genres that intrigue me. I also love sci fi and independent film. I will pretty much watch any movie you put in front of me.

N/ Neo - I'm into anything "Neo-insertwordhere" because I believe everything should be revisited & revamped at some point. Times change. People and circumstances change too so we need to always be able to look at things with fresh eyes.

O/ Open - I try really hard to be open to the fact that everyone is different. Not everyone is going to share my passions or goals or adhere to the ideals to which I adhere. Not everyone is the same and that fact must be respected.

P/ Pet Peeves - Being open notwithstanding, I do have my pet peeves. I have linguistic pet peeves. I have germy-don't-touch-that-without-washing-your-hands pet peeves. I even have pet peeves about closing doors and drawers. And the list goes on. Maybe I should change "N" to "Neurotic". hmmmm ...

Q/ Quirky - See "Pet Peeves".

R/ Reading - I absolutely love to read. I go through at least 2 paperbacks a week. I love getting lost in the imagination of the author.

S/ Sicilian - My culture is Sicilian and I love everything about it. It's a beautiful place that you should visit if you ever get a chance.

T/ Trouble - Yeah, that's me.

U/ Uninhibited - I'm not afraid to say what I think when I think it. That's not always a good thing but it's me. As I mentioned before, I do always try to be tactful.

V/ Voracious - I completely immerse myself in the things I love - marriage, family, work. Whatever it is, if I love it, I'm in it for reals!

W/ Worthy - I am worthy of being everything I deem successful. That means I am worthy of being an author. I'm worthy of being a wife, an artist, an actress. And most importantly, a mother.

X/ Xenophile - I am really intrigued by culture and how cultures can be so different yet so much the same.

Y/ Young-at-heart - I'm pretty much 12 all the time.

Z/ Zany - I mentioned that I'm uninhibited. Well I'm also really random at times. Or at least it comes off that way. Sometimes I've been carrying on the conversation in my head so I may be a few lines of dialogue ahead of whomever I'm speaking with. So my responses may come off completely random. I also just say random things that pop into my head, out loud, even if I'm not in a conversation. Zany, I tell ya!

WHEW!! That's a lot to take it in so let it marinate for a while then feel free to ask me any questions.

Thanks for stopping by!!
