I want to write a coherent post but I just don't think that's going to happen today. You have all been warned!
I've been thinking about the conference last weekend and how best to write about it. I know I'm a tease but I think I'll write one post on the key note speaker, one on the third party reproductive issues and another on domestic adoption and parenting thoughts. It's all about bite-sized pieces. I bet y'all thought that since Halloween was over it'd be back to full size candy bars, right?
I realized today I'd never written here about my fertile/infertile drive-by of a few months ago. It was incredibly painful and I'm still dealing with it. I got hit again today, just as I thought I was coming out of it. So for all of you who seem to think that I'm a really strong person or can deal with a lot, my true petty and bitter self will be coming out in full force when I can write about this without my fingers shaking and not feeling a horrible pit in my stomach.
In much better news, BEBE gets here tonight and I'm very stoked for her visit. Our poor men are already regretting the weekend we have planned. Way. Too. Many. Words. For. Any. Men.
It will, however, involve a trip to the stroller mecca of North America, or at least the Bay Area. I haven't written much about my passion for incredibly expensive and hard to find strollers here but rest assured, I have very specific ideas about strollers. And they don't involve anything that starts bug (those are sooooo several years ago, IMHO).
And in other news, there's a job I heard about that has me very excited. VERY excited. I've worked a contact or two and think I have a potential way to get my foot in the door. At least for an initial interview. So hold good thoughts, cross fingers, hold thumbs, do whatever you do. Did I mention I was very excited about this possibility? Could be a chance to use my powers for good, not evil. And, like Martha herself would say, that's a good thing.
I wish there was an anti-driveby shield we could put up but in lieu of that - I wish I could punch who ever it was who upset you.
I'm glad you're looking forward to a great get together and a new possibility.

Ohhhh!!!! Let me know what you think of the Jane PowerTwin in person. I still adore that stroller even though I think that it's probably too small for our two. I will have to love from afar.
And I'm excited about the job for you! You (and everyone) needs a good job that challenges them and makes them think! No more cutting and pasting for our Millie!!!

I hope I wasn't the dumbass. If I was, I so sincerely apologize.

I can't believe you had a drive by. I don't understand why people feel compelled to do that..... what purpose people think comments like that serve. I'm so sorry.
Good luck on the new job prospect.
I am looking forward to hearing about your domestic adoption information. We've tabled our discussions until after the new year, but it still gets brought up occasionally!
Hope you guys have a super weekend!

New job, awesome!

You realize that knowing you have a petty and bitter side that occasionally surfaces, makes me like you more, not less. Being friends with superwoman, is pretty tough, since you never measure up. I'm sure it wasn't your run of the mill drive-by if it made you this upset. I hope it fades away soon.
Good luck with the job hunt!
