Random Thoughts

Not much too exciting going on here. I've been debating a bit about not blogging for a while because I'm pretty boring, but realize I like writing, so you can read if you want, or sit back and hope for some more exciting stuff sometime down the road.
  • I watched the temp drop 11 degrees in 4 minutes today in the car. It will drop another 20 degrees by morning. Welcome to Texas.
  • Two drinks can be too much for me to drink. I really do not have a problem with that, but I'm not sure other people really understand when I say "no more."
  • Everyone - young, old, single, married - needs to hear the sacred words "I love you" more than once in a blue moon.
  • Not much is going as planned for me so far this year. Right now some of it may seem like a bad thing, but I know ultimately it may be better things did not go as planned, and some of it just probably really doesn't matter one way or the other.
  • On that note, Lonestar 70.3 has gone from an "A" race to a "just finish" race.
  • I wonder how long it takes to get your heart and head on the same page.
  • My 1.5 day Spring Break in Beaumont was wonderful. Actually the last week and a half hasn't been that bad while a lot of people were on Spring Break - I had a pretty light week at work and the weather had been good until a few hours ago (see random thought #1).
  • I bailed on the HRTC Galveston ride for tomorrow and actually felt somewhat liberated doing so - once I remembered I'm not in charge any more and didn't have to go if I didn't want to.
  • On that note, I may wish I were in Galveston a few miles into the ride I am doing in the morning.
  • I got a text message yesterday afternoon from a wise woman that said "Listen to Randy Travis's Through The Fire." I did. Lyrics are here. "And He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb. He never offered victory without fighting but He said help would always come in time." My only choice right now (or any time, for that matter), as a Christian, is to keep fighting.
  • I've had ice cream for lunch far more than I should have lately.
  • I really, really look forward to going to church now and only regret not going there sooner.
  • I wish I knew who all read my blog. I got a small glimpse of my readers a few weeks ago, but I know there are still so many more (6,000+ hits in a little over 3 months). Who are you???

I will take chocolate and cupcakes over beer and margaritas. Weird, I know.

The weather is nutty. I am so glad I finished my run yesterday and was able to make it into my car just as the sky opened up and temps began to plumet. Now I am hoping I don't get blown away on a run later today.

Hey, at least it is no longer 36 degrees outside like it was this morning.

Yah...I don't really drink anymore either. 1 beer at the rodeo and didn't even finish it! LOL

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

We did it!

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
