Starting fresh?

I am so glad to see this year coming to an end. This will always be the year where I lost my optimistic look on things. The year where I came to realize that things aren't always as easy as we think they're going to be. The year when my friends and I started drifting apart, but they didn't notice. The year when I felt like I just couldn't fit anywhere. Tomorrow is the start of a new year, a clean slate, full of hope (and fear).

The Barron and I head off to Ireland on Friday for ten days of exploration. I cannot wait, but deep down inside, I am anxious. I know that when I come back, I will be making an appointment with the RE for my IVF consultation, and then we're off to needle central. Not something I'm looking forward to.

2008 will also bring a blogroll, more frequent updates, and hopefully some readers! (are you out there?) If you happen to be one of them, Happy New Year to you and I hope all of your dreams become realities!

It's the most wonderful time....nah.

If I ever reproduce, I swear I will never send out pictures of my children that double as "cards". Why, you may ask?

1. I won't send any possibly infertile friends into a crying jag over my incredibly cute baby dressed in holiday garb knowing that they may never get to do so.
2. These are all pre-printed and have taken me no time to sit and write out and therefore, lack feeling.
3. See #1

Am I a horrible person for being somewhat pissed off at my friends who have kids (and whose lives subsequently revolve around them)?

Yes, but I don't care.
