God has a sense of humor.

So tonight, Jon Paul and I were talking as he was making chocolate chip cookies (he has a difficult time getting over a craving :) )... and I started to sing the late 80's tune (I think) "if you, want to call me baby, just go ahead now. if you like to tell me maybe, just go ahead now. if you like to buy me flowers, just go ahead now. and if you like to talk for hours, just go ahead now..."

He asked me, "Who sings that song?" (this is a game we often play)

I think. I make a few random guesses. No idea.

"give me a clue"

He thinks. "turning surgeons"

SPIN DOCTORS! I say.

"RIGHT!" he says surprised... though he shouldn't have been because it was a good clue...

I say "we'd be awesome teammates at the game Taboo!" He laughs and turns around to get the sheet of cookies out of the oven. I go to get the game "Taboo" to practice.

I ask him a stack of questions as he takes the cookies off the sheet and puts new ones on ready to bake.

He sits down, asks me some questions.

He gets to the next one, starts to laugh. I say "what?"

He says, "turning surgeons". No joke.

hard realization.

I have been pretty tough battling through this infertility problem. Today I realized that I know of 12 people who are pregnant (at least) and 11 (at least) people who have delivered babies within the last few months (6 within the last few days)... I am genuinely happy for these people... why wouldn't I want them to have what I want too? It's just been 5 years... and I am getting sad and hopeless at times.

I know...

It's always like this. I post very little during the school year (except on long days off due to snow when I have nothing else to do!)... and when summer comes, here I am... posting like crazy.
Well, my camera is broken, so picture taking has been minimal.
And I feel almost as busy as I do during the school year.


Pat Murphy, Jon Paul, Shelley and I all "ran into each other" in Steubenville this weekend. It was awesome to chat with these ol' comrades... and just reminisce and catch up. Oh, how I miss the good ol' days!
