My Friday Fragging and blogging, in general, has been a bit scarce so I thought that I'd play a little catch-up today. The sun is shining and I'm in a pretty good mood! So let's get this party started!

Evan, my {formerly} itty-bitty, but now so grown up, nephew turned FIVE on February 2nd! His birthday party was last Sunday at Alfy's Pizza. Where has the time gone?!

The other day while I was looking for some nail clippers, which I could not find ANYWHERE {I swear, they grow feet and walk away all. the. time.} I found something that made me laugh. Buried in the depths of one of my many make-up bags was a condom. A CONDOM! Guess when it expired? 2006. Ha! I had no idea that there were any condoms left in this house! I mean, we haven't used them since the first year that we were married. I kept it out to show Kyle later. It made us chuckle. |

I got a my new test date. The one in which I will be PASSING my skills test on this time! It's on March 6th. They're making me wait a whole month. *sigh* I likely will not be posting about it on that day or the day before because I don't want to be embarrassed and humiliated again if I don't pass. But I'm gonna. I AM, gonna pass.*****
Dealing with infertility can get monotonous. Sex while trying to conceive can get monotonous. And because we've been TTC for 8 stinkin years, our sex lives have not always been the most exciting, and at times almost non-existant. I mean, when you try to schedule around ovulation and whatnot, it kind of takes the spontaneousness out of it. However, I try not to tell Kyle when I'm ovulating and just jump him instead because I don't want him to feel like he's just a piece of TTC meat. I have to admit too, that I don't exactly track my ovulation any more. I generally have a good idea of when it's happening but I don't take my temperature and I don't chart for ovulation but we {and I'm sure we're not alone} can always use a little spicing up in the bedroom, right? For years I've tried this and that {book-wise} to get ideas. Recently a book caught my eye on the Free Kindle Books list and it's called Sheet Music. It's written by a Christian author, whom I really like. I downloaded it a few days ago and I started reading it this morning, I'm only on the second chapter. But I wanted to recommend it already because I think it's going to be a good one to help us, not only in the bedroom, but also with our relationship with each other, which while good, can always use work to make it great. {He does state in the beginning though, that this book is intended for married couples or engaged couples, just a heads-up.}
{Even if you don't have a Kindle, you can download it for FREE right now onto your PC with the Kindle for PC app on Amazon.}

I had a phone interview yesterday for a plasma donor center. It's a Phlebotomy position and I would love to get the job, one because I really want to be doing Phlebotomy over anything else and two, it's CLOSE TO MY HOUSE! It would be SO GREAT if I didn't have to drive over an hour to get to and from work every day.
However, I still haven't heard back about the EKG position that I interviewed for at the end of January. I know that the position is still open because it's still on the website and my friend Megan is actually cleaning the lead techs house on Saturdays. I would love to have that job {EKG, not cleaning} too but the commute would definitely be brutal. Either way, I just NEED A JOB like, yesterday.
A week or so ago I heard back from the position at Children's Hospital and they decided to hire someone that had 8 years of experience. *sigh* Oh well.

My DVR has one show on it. Glee. From right after the Super Bowl, so I've seen it. I could delete it and have a completely empty DVR but I want to watch it again. My life is SO exciting, lemme tell ya! Any other Gleeks out there? Love this show!

We're actually going to get out of this damn house tomorrow! We're going to my SIL's "Not-so-secret-surprise-party" for her 25th birthday {which was on the 15th}. I'm excited to go and DO something since I rarely leave the house. But, and this just makes me feel OLD, we're not supposed to be there till 8:30 PM. Yup. Feeling OLD since I'm normally planning on being home around that time. Ha!

If you haven't already, you really need to go over to my cousin Eve's blog Tranquility...and Turmoil and enter to win a STARBUCKS GIFTCARD. Who doesn't love Starbucks, right? Plus, it would make her really happy to see the traffic go through. She's trying really hard to get her blog back up and running after taking somewhat of a hiatus. For me? Will you go over and say hi and enter her giveaway? Muah Muah!!
