Another end...

Today was my last day of work for the year. It was also the day before Aaron and I planned to finally take a pregnancy test, and the day I started spotting --- even though it was 14 days after our attempts and a couple of days after my usual cycle. My hope was what carried me through my busy and stressful last week of work. I was in such good spirits even though we had to let a couple of workers go from my crew. I thought everything was falling into place, that Aaron and I may have good news and whip into the Christmas and new year holiday on a high. Everything felt so right this time. But it wasn't meant to be yet.

I wish I knew if I was maybe pregnant for a little while. Maybe I have a problem of holding a baby. This cycle was very different. I had pains in my upper back and only on my left side, not my usual pelvis cramps. Maybe I wouldn't try so hard to get pregnant and go through the heartache each month if I knew the actual problem. This guessing is not good. Maybe the fertility doctor was right... my eggs are too OLD!

ACUPUNCTURE ALERT: Treatment #7

I had Aaron drop me off to my appointment while he went to Best Buy to "browse" and buy Christmas gifts. It was a good session. Dr. Caruso treated the front points on my arms, legs and tummy, as well as some back points all down my spine. Dang I'm ticklish on my back! I was able to take a much needed nap and woke myself by my snores! Once the treatment was done I was refreshed and ready to finish Christmas shopping.

This is the last treatment before I suppose to start my next cycle. I'm crossing fingers that we are lucky this time around!

GIRLIE UPDATE: Playing the Field poster

What a cutie pie surrounded by beautiful women, as usual. The Butler's new flick is scheduled to come out on March 9, 2012. I can't wait!

Christmas 2011: Da tree

Aaron and I picked out our Christmas tree last night between our errands and dinner with Tina and Mikey. It's a beauty! And it smells so good!

I wonder what color/theme I'll dream up this year to decorate the tree and house?

New energy efficient windows

Finally! No more winter drafts coming into our living room. Nice!


I almost forgot about the ones in the guest bedroom and kitchen!


Three more windows left to replace in the spring. And hopefully the back sliding door too.
