Hysterosalpingogram-the patient’s version.

Monday morning I headed into a local hospital to have ink shoved up my fallopian tubes. If you are to ever have this procedure done your doctor will either call it an HSG test or a “Hystero,” if he’s really into freaking you out he’ll give you the full name, hysterosalpingogram followed with a shallowContinue reading “Hysterosalpingogram-the patient’s version.”

buying a house is NOT a fun process.

House flippers must be optimistic, masochistic, jerky people. Optimistic because frankly after some of the houses I’ve walked into over the last month? You would need a really sunny disposition and glass half full mentality to even envision anything but a pee stained hole in the walls hot mess of a house. Even if IContinue reading “buying a house is NOT a fun process.”

Hooves the vacuum and his imminent retirement party.

Meet Hooves. Hooves joined our family via gift card about eight years ago. He’s cleaned every room of every apartment Cody and I have lived in since we got married. It’s travelled across the entire country and was even detailed by a circa 1960’s Electrolux and entire box of Swiffer dusting cloths during my pregnantContinue reading “Hooves the vacuum and his imminent retirement party.”

the truthful yet TMI side to PCOS.

TMI is in the title. You’ve been warned. I have tiny little fluid filled cysts on my ovaries. Well, tiny is all relative. If my ovary was the size of my head? The cyst on my left ovary would be roughly the size of a very large cat sitting on my head. My right ovaryContinue reading “the truthful yet TMI side to PCOS.”

cystacular! now with jazz hands!

When I was but a young child I thought that when a dad’s bellybutton touched the mom’s bellybutton in a “baby hug” a mom got pregnant. The kid was in her stomach and after awhile she pooped it out. I never did understand where food went with all that baby crowding her business. I alsoContinue reading “cystacular! now with jazz hands!”

why finding God is a tricky business.

I do know this person in real life, however all identifying references have been removed. (If you’d like to out yourself man, be my guest but I’m going to respect your privacy as not all the internet is as forgiving as others.) I share this with you because I’ve found that a lot of peopleContinue reading “why finding God is a tricky business.”

Hi, I’m a professional not pregnant person. Nice to meet you.

I shudder every time I go out in public and someone inevitably asks “So, what do you dooooo?” A year ago I could leave the answer at “stay at home mom” but with the recent influx of opportunities as a result of this here blog I can’t really leave it at just mom anymore. ThisContinue reading “Hi, I’m a professional not pregnant person. Nice to meet you.”

you may win a pretty mouse for filling a truck.

As part of the Vivienne Tam campaign I was given three Vivienne Tam mice (mouses?) to do with what I please. These babies are hard to come by. I’m giving you the chance to win one (I have three.) Seriously, did I mention how hard these are to come by? Or how pretty they are?Continue reading “you may win a pretty mouse for filling a truck.”

consigning a tiny decade.

I successfully ridded tiny gramma of a decade better left forgotten last night night. We spent most of the weekend combing through consignment stores, we LOVE consignment stores. The two of us together are unstoppable. The quest to introduce more color into my moms very drab monotone wardrobe was successful. However, upon inspecting her closetContinue reading “consigning a tiny decade.”
