- exercising has been going pretty well. i really like Body Pump class - it's like total body strength training death to funky upbeat music with nice instructors telling you new ways to cause yourself pain. oddly theraputic, plus, i've been able to add more weight, so that means i'm getting stronger. and that's nice. i have noticed minor differences in the level of fat on my body, but have not weighed myself for a few weeks. the last time i did, after working diligently for a few weeks at the gym, the scale was the same. i was so pissed i decided that i didnt need to look at it any more for a while.
- along the same lines, my Slim Down Fort Leavenworth work event ends next Saturday. i'll post pictures and results - not necessarily because people care, but because i'm really proud of it. definitely a job highlight.
- this wednesday i will go to the Black Eyed Peas concert. i have floor tickets - which means thursday i'll have a headache, probably an unknown and unfamiliar version of a contact high from something or another, and most likely some bruises. should be fun.
- thursday i have an appointment with my doctor to get probed. i'm hoping very much she will be able to look at me and say "yes, THAT right there is why you are not yet pregnant. let me just take a second to remove it and you may now go forth and multiply." say some prayers. i have been doing better with my patience, but charles will be gone to school for a month and a half starting the end of April, many changes are possible once he returns and i struggle not to let myself feel the time crunch. i know God has His own timing, but i would appreciate it very much if His timing included the possibility that my husband and i could deliver a baby side by side... and preferably in the same country as our families (although that one is less important to me than his presence - sorry mom, it's true).
- we cleaned the house this weekend. i have a roast in the crock pot and it smells good.
- i have learned how to play poker and i like it. i picture myself winning thousands of dollars some day. i'm also full of crap.
and since i have no cute kid pictures to post, here's an eyebrow-raiser for you:

I'll be thinking of you during your appointment on Thursday! Hoping it is some simple thing!
And I like the picture :)
Ditto!
(How's that for a lame comment? My excuse is that I'm holding Claire and therefore typing with one hand, and wanted to keep this short and sweet, but I just totally negated that idea by taking the time to hunt and peck out this internal dialogue of mine. I'll stop now)
This is the first time I've read your blog, and I am quite happy to be reminded of how much I used to love reading your emails way back in the 1990s and 2000s. You have such a good writing voice. I was going to pick my favorite sentence from your post, but there were too many to pick from. Such good honesty. And honesty is often usually very funny too. Any wheat that comes my way this week, I am offering for you and Thursday. What a good glimpse back into the soul of Michelle. Thanks.
Thanks Joel, high praise indeed coming from you. and thanks all for the prayers, they mean a lot to me. :)
