A WOW Christmas

                                                         In honor of my husband the gamer

Christmas Crazy!

I can't believe its only 3 days until Christmas!  I really hope this is my last year childless!  I keep thinking next year we will go all out with christmas cards, Santa, the works.  At least I hope thats what happens.
Anyway, the bad thing about this year is I finally caught the cold going around.  I did my best to avoid getting sick but apparently it didn't work.  Nate got the flu shot this year.  The doctor told him I should as well especially with the upcoming cycle.   I don't know how I feel about the flu shot.  I know they mixed it with the h1m1 and that scares me a little.  I always wonder if those medications can do more harm in the long run than good.  Then that makes me think of vaccines in newborns.  Which one do you need as soon as their born and which ones can wait until they are older?  I know it is a little early to be thinking of this but I feel like the more prepared I am the better.  Plus it gives me something to do while I wait until everything starts.

The calm before the Storm

              
                        I loved this idea from a fellow IVF blogger.... A picture of whats on my mind

A very sad date!

Three years ago I received some the worst news anyone could get.  My father had passed away unexpectedly.   I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news.  I remember the day like it was yesterday. It is hard to believe it has been 3 years already!  I can still clearly hear his robust laugh. I can still  remember how he answered the phone when I called "Hey Ems!"  Sometimes when I am driving home from work I pick up the phone to call him just to catch up. I always seemed to have that ritual...calling him on my long commute home.  I am scared that in time I will forget his laugh and forget his voice.
A friend of mine just recently lost his mom and I so remember the feelings and emotions you get on a daily basis when it is still fresh.  I feel so bad for him because sometimes it consumes your mind.  Time really does heal and it does get better, but there are still sad moments and memories that will pop out of nowhere.

Great Movies I have seen lately

I normally wouldn't think to blog about the movie I like but I just saw a movie that I felt was worth blogging about.....Inception!  Wow, what a movie!!  I sat and stared at the t.v after it was over and tried to comprehend the movie!  I haven't seen a movie like that in awhile.  I then decided to make it a great movie day since the weather is really yucky today.  There are a lot of movies I really enjoy but a few stick out in my mind.  The Hangover is the next movie on the list for my movie day.  I think that movie is one of the funniest I have seen this year!  Its right up there with my favorites like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Wedding Crashers and Old School.  I also love the Twilight Saga (although I like the books better up to this point).  Eclipse was another great movie for me this year.  I haven't been to the theater in a long time because I am petrified of the bed bug epidemic, so there were a lot of movies this year released that I am waiting to see. So to be fair to those movies I really can't rate the movies of this year.  So for 2009 I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes, Up on the Air, The Hurt Locker, obviously The Hangover,  and Avatar.  As far as 2010's list that will come when I have seen the movies on my list for this year.  However I do feel at the top of the list will still be Inception.  I am not sure of any movie that will pass it, but you never know!

The bachelorette Party that finally happened!

Tonight I got together with a great group of girls.  A lot of us girls never actually got a bachelorette party so we decided just because we are married and some of us that are not doesn't mean we cant have a great girls night out.  I have always wanted to make wine and Vintners Cellar in Concord lets you do a wine tasting and then make a batch of wine.  We also get to make our own labels!  First we went to Your Fired and painted pottery.  It was so relaxing and fun.  The staff was super nice and made us hot chocolate and tea!  We didn't have much time before we had to be at the winery so we just grabbed a pizza.  Then we got to taste great wine.  We decided to make Green Apple Riesling.  I haven't decide what my label will be yet.  The only problem is we only have a 2 day window if we want to watch our wine be bottled and I think that the timing will be a problem for me since I will hopefully be "ovary" deep into the IVF process.  Regardless, we had a great night and hope to do this every couple of months!  I am sooo thankful to have such a great group of friend and night like this remind me of how lucky I am.  Everyone that came tonight means a lot to me and I value their friendship!
