I have walked past this tree a million times and don't ever recall it looking like this, so I took a picture. Maybe I should carry my camera around with me. There have been spectacular skies lately and I have had nobody to share them with except myself.

Last night we tried to watch The Ringer with Johnny Knoxville. I am a fan of Knoxville and have a soft spot in my heart for stupid humor but this movie was awful so we switched to Doom, starring the Rock. I also have a thing for the Rock and Doom was equally as horrible, but for some reason watching a bad action flick is much better then watching a bad comedy.

After Doom, I went to bed and had nightmares of vampire zombies coming after me. When I woke up at 4 and had to use the bathroom, I was scared to get out of bed. You never know when the vampire zombies are hiding under the bed or in the shower stall.....

The acupuncture yesterday was really neat, I wound up with 17 or so needles in my body to encourage blood flow to my uterus and after laying there for a good 10 minutes I started to feel like there was a warm fuzzy blankie around that spot. It could be psychosomatic but I really don't care, my uterus was warm and happy.
I had the most comforting sweet dreams last night about babies and dogs. We shall see how I feel after my next appt, it would be interesting if I had really pleasant dreams again.

Lately I have been incredibly jealous of Rob and Zippy's relationship. In the past he has snuggled with me over anybody else but lately when we sit on the couch and watch tv the dog will snuggle next to Rob and when we let him in bed he snuggles next to Rob. I know he loves me, when I got home really late the other day, Rob told me that Zippy pined for me and sat at the window for hours waiting for me.
I am going to have to beat the snuggle back into him. Rob's theory is that when we sit on the couch I sit in "his spot". Who knows but I miss the snuggle.

I have been suffering with a nasty cold for about a week and 1/2 so most of my time has been spent either suffering through work or laying on the sofa under a blankie with a humidifier near by.
There were a few nice things lately, I managed to drag myself to Pilates despite the cold and twice, I was the only person who showed up. Essentially, I got 2 free one on one sessions which is awesome since form is everything in Pilates.
Getting Rob's Christmas presents was totally painless, it was a trip to EMS for a coat he loved and a quick click on the llbean website for fleece lined jeans. We decided to take it easy on the presents this year, at least until we see what kind of bonus he gets. Who knows, we may be celebrating with filet and vino at Ruth Chris... but then again, we may be celebrating his bonus with a trip to Subway. The whole thing is going towards the mortgage anyway so I suppose it doesn't really matter, we won't be splurging on anything big this year.

My acupuncturist told me that he does fertility acupuncture. I am constantly amazed with acupuncture and told him so, as proof of his success he told he he has seven children. He tells me that he has luck with women up to age 43, he has never had a woman over 43 conceive with just his help. He said he would be successful with me and said I should come in the day after my cycle ends (tomorrow) and I get acupuncture. Apparently it makes the uterus very friendly. We shall see.....
