Hobbies

I have not written because I do not have much going on right now. I attached a recent picture of my and my hubby. Look at my fat face. Ughh - I have been working out every single day - doing the 30 day Shred with Jillian Michaels and I have been eating better - no junk food for me and I am still not losing weight. I hope the pounds start coming off soon.

As far as TTC goes - we are trying on our own again this month and hoping and praying for some kind of miracle so that I do not have to have surgery next month. I am trying not to think about the surgery because I do not want to freak myself out and it is still more than a month away.

I do want to rant about Private Practice last night - I watch this show and I do like it because it is about a Fertility Clinic - BUT - they showed a egg retrieval last night and the girl was awake and all happy saying - look they got my eggs - it just does not work like that and it makes me upset - because they make it look so easy and it is not that easy and how the general public is going to think it is no big deal - I hate how tv plays down infertility and infertility treatments.

I decided that I need more hobbies in my life. I am taking up two new hobbies.

One is cooking. I am not a very good cook at all - if it comes in a box - I make it and that is about as far as my cooking abilities go - but now this money being so tight and Christmas coming up I have been cooking alot more and going out to eat alot less. So both me and John are getting sick of the same few meals I know how to make - anyway - I decided I am going to try and start to branch out in the dinner area. I have already downloaded a bunch of new recipes and I have two lined up for next week. One is a sheppard's pie - which John loves and the other is meatballs - I know it sounds simple - but I never have made meatballs - like I said - bad cook. Tonight I am going to try a spin on breaded pork chops by adding BBQ sauce to it - we will see how that goes and the best thing of all is that John is supporting me 100% - he said he would eat anything I made - he is so sweet.

My second hobby that I want to take up is photography. I love trees - and this time of year they are so beautiful and I keep passing by them on my drive home and saying - that would make a good picture or that one would make a good picture - I think I want to start taking pictures and seeing how I do - I also talked to John about maybe buying the photoshop software - we will see.

I have to keep myself busy - so I do not get depressed about not be able to have a baby - espeically this time of year with the holidays coming up - it makes it hard.
