I'm not a Byatch or Charlotte York

I hope I didn't go leaving everyone thinking I'm a total byatch with my last post. There were other thoughts that went through my head, such as "Was IF a real strain on their marriage? Am I causing a strain on my marriage too?" Leo and I have always agreed that our marriage comes first. Children are just a bonus. I did truly feel for her. But knowing that I attract the crazies and the way she said it so abruptly, made me flee for cover.

So the "Sex and the City" movie comes out this weekend! I'm very excited! I'm believe I know who I'm going to see it with, but it will wait until after this weekend. I want to wait a week or so for the crowds to die down. So don't anyone tell me what happens! I was a huge addict of the show. I've often wondered which one of the ladies I am, and I believe I'm a little of all of them. People in my life, including Leo, would probably say I'm Charlotte. I do tend to project that "Good Girl" image. However, I've been known to be crass about sex like Samantha (my personal favorite character), career-driven and no-nonsense like Miranda, and I have a love of fashion and shoes that comes close to rivaling Carrie's. The green jacket I'm wearing for my pic on my blog is my favorite piece in my wardrobe from an Italian designer and I've had people tell me they were discussing stealing it from me (jokingly of course, it was Leo's MBA graduation ceremomy, not North Phila!). I do think most women feel they have a little of each character within them and that's partially why it's so popular.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I almost forgot. The exercise infomercial stuff we bought is from Beachbody, but it's the P90X regime. I really like it. We mostly got it because Leo wanted to get himself really buff for the summer (I don't mind him being buff either ;-)) And for me it's not bad because I don't mind doing some weight training. I just use the option to go with lighter weights and more reps. My core feels awesome in just a week and a half and my arms are getting that toned look again that I love so much. And they use a lot of yoga in the workouts. There is one day that is all a yoga workout similar to what my Iyengar yoga teacher's class is like. So it's a really good workout system, I think.

Just saw SATC!!! It was awesome...take some tissues! Don't wait, crowds weren't that bad.

I think I relate to Charlotte the most!

I just got back into town after a week long vacay, so I've had to work at catching up with some blogs and I'm catching up here. I can't wait to see SATC as well. I absolutely cannot wait. I hope to wait for the crowds to die down as well.

I also relate to Charlotte with a little bit of Samantha thrown in for good measure. If you ever want to talk about the move to IVF or anything like that, please let me know. Just e-mail me or what not. I'd be more than happy to be an ear. I also cried when we heard that news from our RE...It's a big step.

Lots of hugs and good thoughts coming your way as you embark on this journey.

I haven't had time to post this week but I have been reading. Best of luck with the IVF!!! I am super excited about it. Please post all the details - I am super curious!!! Oh, by the way - my hub says I'm a Charlotte with a little Carrie thrown in!!!
I don't think you sound like a Byatch! As a fellow crazy magnet, I can relate. Sending you all the best.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
