June 25, 2001

This is going to be one mixed up entry but I am just typing as I think of stuff. I am going to start with some form of order but can't promise it will remain a very organized entry.

ISSUE #1
(btw, I chose issue's instead of numbers or paragraphs because we all KNOW that I have ISSUE'S)

ok, back to ISSUE #1
DH is back in Atlanta, I am in Alabama! Nothing permanent has been accomplished but I am moving on with my life. He has been little to no help in any way, completely destructive. He is not here to defend himself, not that he would have a defense or would try but I am going to leave him well enough alone. I am on my TTC adventure solo.
(btw, not on TTC adventure just yet, but when I get back to that, I will be hitting the trail alone)

ISSUE #2
TTC I have had my first af since the m/c and it appears that I am O'ing already! This brings me back to ISSUE #1, I never o'd on my own when we(dh and I) were together and TTC. I suppose God does work in more mysterious ways than we want to believe. I know there is some logic to this somewhere! Either way, I am a non-ttc'er for a couple of more months and then, I am going to go after the donor sperm idea. I have a new job (that will be issue #3) and my insurance takes affect as soon as they hire me from temp. agency, which shouldn't be too long. There insurance is super and I will only be responsible for the sperm part of the deal. The insurance should pay for the rest. Of course, I am out there searching for a live donor (oops issue #4) but I don't suspect that 3 months is enough time for me to settle on a live donor that I have to get to know first, so...better choose from the sperm bank.

ISSUE #3
Job, last job was bad bad bad after they hired me on permanently. So, being the spontaneous one, I quit. I didn't have a job for 2 weeks and have been at this new place for 5 whole days!! Anyway, I am a working in the insurance business in policy issuance. Down and dirty....I type that big long bunch of junk you get when you take out insurance! Not as easy as it sounds and they pay me pretty good money to do so. So, that is what I do!

ISSUE #4
One true way to know that I am getting over dh is that I am dating now. Never ever thought I would want to do that again. I mean, I just knew that Rodman was my true love. And, who knows, maybe he was, but I wasn't his true love and it won't work. Anyway, I have met some true gentleman out there and some real jerks. Trying to stick with the gentlemen but you have to take the good with the bad I guess, in order to weed out! So, on with it, bring on the dates!

ISSUE #5
I have put my aquarium back up (I took it down when I was so sad and didn't wanna deal with it) Anyway, I put it back up and I have one catfish, Igor, one placostamus (slime sucker), Archamedes, three something anothers, Larry, Curley and Mo since I can't tell them apart and I had two frogs that I had yet to name but one died and the other one is almost a goner too. So, back to the petstore they go in exchange for some healthy ones. They will need names!!! Need something that works well with Archamedes and Igor! Any suggestons!

ISSUE #5
(kind of related to several of the above)\
I have quit going to Jenny Craig and don't think I have lost anymore weight but....well maybe....not much though. It is amazing how much difference 30 pounds makes though. Anyway, my clothes were looking atrocious and my mom sprang for some new summer clothes. I have been tanning (roommate has her own tanning bed) and bought some short skirts, and I just prance around like I am "da bomb"!

Ok, I believe that about covers it! I am back in full force so beware!!!

Thanks for listening or reading (if you made it this far, that is)!
