August 3, 2012

Ok, it's official. I'm officially losing my marbles. In a moment of sheer boredom, I looked up my August horoscope and found this here little tidbit of information...

 

"Venus and Neptune will be in ideal sync on August 9, bringing a potentially highly romantic day. The moon will be in Taurus, so the moon will add her own sprinkles on top of your cupcake, making this an all-around happy day for love. Neptune has recently set up a 14-year stay in your house of established love partner, so with pretty, fun-loving Venus contacting Neptune in that house, if you are attached, you may have plenty to celebrate on this day. "

 

So, if a certain someone doesn't come to visit me on August 9th, I will be checking for a plus sign on a certain stick. Ironic that it falls on the same day? Hmm. Or maybe it was written in the stars. I am totally off my rocker at this point.

 

If all of my dreams and wishes happen to come true, I will be posting this. If not, I will promptly be deleting my loony tune thoughts pronto in embarrassment. So, I guess if you're reading this now, it's a good GOOD sign! :)

July 31, 2012

The two week waiting game. Oh, it is ON! I was really tempted to finish that statement with, "like Donkey Kong" but I stopped myself short of cheesy. Although, now that I've written about my almost-intentions, I might as well have written it. I digress! So, this is secretly my favorite time of the month, mostly because I get to oh-so-secretly fantasize about what could be happening. I haven't quite decided whether this habit of mine is a good or bad thing. On one hand, they say that you shouldn't think about getting pregnant too much while you're trying to get pregnant (which, for the record, is impossible). On the other hand, I'm so excited about the what-if's that all of my thoughts are pleasantly positive, which is a good thing right? Positive. Positive. Positive.

We invited my sister and her fiance over this past weekend for some wine, Parcheesi (yes, it is my new fav) and dinner downtown. At the end of the night, when it was just her and I chatting on the guest bedroom bed, she confided in me that she has a feeling that I may get pregnant this month. I would have never before considered myself to be superstitious, seeing as I wholeheartedly appreciate logic, however I find myself oddly comforted by gut feelings, instincts and psychics alike.. so I'm going with it! I've actually had to avoid the urge to go visit my favorite lady in purple. My last experience with a palm reader wasn't very great, so I've been holding off. Anywaaaay, I guess getting my hopes up for two weeks makes it that much harder when they're dashed, which has been the trend for the past 3 months. I will count this as a point earned for me though in the mommy-to-be department because what type of person would I be if I weren't dreaming up the days when the pee stick will have two lines? Would it be better if I didn't care? If I didn't even give it a second thought? What type of careless person do you think I am?! See, positive. Positive. Positive.

I even avoided pepperoni on my pizza today. I can, after all, sacrifice for a week or two at the end of the month, you know... just in case :)

What if, originally written July 2012.

Oh my god. What if I have an entire year's worth of blog posts because it takes me that long to get pregnant?! And dear God, at what point am I even really allowed to start sharing these even when I am pregnant? Three months? After the birth? God help me.

No really, God, help me out here.
