Thank you!

No. I am DOR and am doing mini-IVF with Clomid, which thins the uterine lining. Frozen makes more sense than fresh under my protocol. I have faith in my RE, but it’s unnerving to read this sort of thing.

I’ve been an ART patient for four years now, and I’m just about to undergo IVF and my doctor freezes embryos before transfer. This terrifies me. I’m likely to only have one or two, if any, and I’m ancient. This has shaken the IVF boards to the core, and I have seen a few people who lost embryos and my heart just goes…

No way in hell that cat was satisfied with just the scrunches on the video. He was delayed by at least 10 minutes in getting to the car.

I spent 5 hours in malasana (squat pose) on Sunday pulling weeds, planting annuals, and otherwise tending to my garden. Yesterday’s yoga class was, er, intense especially in the hamstrings, but I got as low as I’ve ever gotten in anjaneyasana (low lunge).

Chad Salmela single handedly made my husband and me cross country fans back in Vancouver. He’s a great color commentator because he knows everything about this sport (and biathlon) and has so much enthusiasm for it.

Go to the NBC site. They have video of everything. http://www.nbcolympics.com/cross-country

Ever since spending a year in England (24 years ago) and getting totally screwed up about traffic patterns, I routinely walk into traffic. There isn’t a city that I’ve been in where I wasn’t nearly run down at some point. I need this woman to follow me around on the days my husband isn’t walking with me.

My studio runs the Baptiste 40 Days to Personal Revolution program twice a year, once in January and once in September. I’ve done it six time in a row now, starting in January 2015, and this is the first time I’m skipping it. The thing I like about the way my studio runs it is how supported it is. It’s part of…

Thank you for this. It mirrors a lot of my thoughts and love for this movie as well.

Celosa and Fusilli’s cousin Chicken is also with us this Thanksgiving.

The #dogsinbowties on Instagram features a ton of my Fusilli looking like this.

That’s probably right. Plus there’s a decreasing immediate family size over time too. My (Polish-Italian-WASP) mom’s grandfather (first generation Italian) was one of 19 siblings and her mom (second generation Italian and WASP) was one of six. My mom was one of four. My mom had tons of cousins around when she was…

Same. Tejana married to white guy from Ohio who seems to be cousin-less aside from his dad’s brother’s kid. Fortunately for him, all of my cousins have adopted him so he’s got family now.

True story: The first family wedding I ever took him to, we got to the rehearsal late. My sister had gathered all of the cousins…

“A $200 cookbook. And I guarantee you everything in that cookbook tastes nasty. There Ain’t nothing in that cookbook with a lick of seasoning on it. ‘Cause I don’t see anything in this article that indicated Tom Brady recognizes the performance enhancing benefit of seasoning. Now I could be operating on a lot…

Similar story, but it was a yoga mat. Everything else, including a few dollar bills and an old ipod, were there.

When I ranted and raved about it on facebook, someone pointed out that it may have been taken by someone who didn’t have any place soft to sleep, and 5mm of foam may have looked really good for that…

Hey! I played innertube water polo in college a few times! :D

You are safe from me. I have a charger with me at all times. I also have two charged battery packs with me at all times. I also have five strategically placed chargers all over the house.

Uh, because we’ve been here forever. Border has moved around quite a bit. My family has been in Texas since before 1753, but we’ve been four different countries plus whatever the fuck the Confederacy was without having moved at all.
