Hey again,

Fee, I have just discoverd that the reason that you don't know what Amy and I are talking about regarding porno is because the managers of this web site have edited out parts of my Friday post where I jokingly explored this concept of the wildcat.

So much for the first amendment. Coupled with us having to suffer their advertisements, this gives me pause to consider alternatives to their censorship. Lame.

Hugs!

Coco: Oh holy cow... you have TOTALLY been censored! I also wasn't sure why Fee had no idea what you were talking about. Just went back to that post... apparently they thought you a bit too risque :lol: . For anyone else who missed it... sorry... it was hilarious!!!

Girls - this censorship may be just the push we need to set out to our own website. I am pretty sure that www.thesisterhoodofthebluestilettos.com isn't taken, and I happen to have a connection with a hunky IT web designer. No, I am serious. My husband is very attractive. I know. Oxymoron - attractive and IT. Trust me. I go to his work functions and believe me... I count my blessings. Him - 6'2" and 180 - olive skin, piercing blue eyes and in incredible shape. Coworkers - PASTY, large mid sections, links to star wars sites on their favorites, bad khakis. So - sorry had to defend my IT nerd, but without all that I can still have him hook us up with our own site. You girls give the AG the word and I am on it.

As for recent AG activity... I have some great news. The Attorney General recently beat LOWEs. That is correct ladies. I have been battling this home improvement mega store for almost a year and I finally won. Intrigued? I thought so. A few years ago we remodeled our kitchen. I purchased a Kohler cast iron sink from Lowes, as well as some countertops. A few months after completion of the remodel I began to notice a small crack in the corner of the sink. The crack grew and gradually began to chip. Due to the cast iron, the sink corner began to rust and you could visibly see more cracks forming. I call Kohler and they tell me they will send me a new sink. They send the sink to Lowes. Lowes says that I have to buy new countertops in order to replace said undermounted sink. I say no way. They say yes way... 10 months go by and I fight very hard. I sell the house and the new buyer says it must be fixed. I keep fighting. They get brought to their knees by a letter written by the GM of local Lowes who I had had write something saying that he would fix this problem (needed to give to the realtors in order to close deal). I forward this letter on to their legal department with a smiley face. I receive call within 24 hours saying they will replace the sink. They hem and haw and finally find someone to do it. Magically the countertops don't break and all their back peddling was for nothing. I can't believe I finally won. I am so excited to have this done being that I haven't even lived in that house since black August (chem preg month). Sorry to bore you I just had to share my excitement!

How is everyone else doing? Don't we find it if we won our dream home this weekend??

Hi sistas - happy weekends to you and good luck to Sassy for EC today. Well I'm feeling pretty OK - still a bit bloated and sore but went to see acu lady tonight and I' m not sure what she did, but I think she actually deflated me! Yep when I went in I was on hole 2 of my belt and after she stuck a few needles in, I needed to go to hole 3 ! Mind you, I am now attacking a packet of tim tams like there is no tomorrow so the loose feeling round my middle won't last . (choccie cream biscuits coated in chocolate for those who have never experienced them).

No fertilisation report - they don't do them - I'm sure I got one last time - this time just have to turn up for my ET and they'll call if there's no point. So it will be a case of no news is good news.

Well it has been quite a w/e for me - as I recall I did purchase half a house on fri. Me and DH went to check we really did and yes, it now has a big SOLD sign on it. Rather than a house, I will call it a project. Yes , rather than the "move straight in nothing to do house" we have gone to the other extreme and will soon be TV stars on "Renovation Rescue"

Amy I will so need your expert knowledge on kitchen work top and sinks and cookers and bath room tiles and of course gardening. As long as me and DH don't end up in the divorce courts, I am sure it will be lots of fun....??

We have successfully bought in an inner suburb which suits us two but will also be great for a young family - near to schools, parks, cafes and bike trails -so it 's all good. YAY!

Well must go and eat some more tim tams - all the best Sassy - are you SURE you can't join me on the 2ww - go on! go on! OK I understand - the mega cycle is calling .

Angie.... the renovations sounds fun!!!, I love renovations, I am a big fan of a TV channel here called HGTV, which is all about renovations and stuff (actually it is the channel that is doing our dream home!!). I hope you enjoy all the renovations, keep us posted!!!, if you can also send us pictures!!. When do you go for ET?

Amy....so you are going to LV?, maybe you can go see Sassy!!, you can do a blind date but instead of a rose you will both be wearing our Sisterhood T-shirts :lol: . I also love the idea of our own website!!!!!

Patie....MIA means "Missing in Action", sorry about that....So those models didn't show up?...b*tches!!!!!, as Amy said you can have us model it for you if you don't mind increasing them by a couple of sizes for the bloated IVF'ers :lol:

Where is everybody else??......Wanna, Mego, haven't heard from you in a couple of days!!!!

Ooooo and BTW, I have a new ticker, it was done thinking on our Sisterhood :wink: (I mean because of the shoe....)

Hi girls.

Well, toenails are sparkly blue (check), will re-shave legs and bikini line in shower (check) (still can't manage the waxing... ouch!), and my sisterhood tshirt is ready for me to throw it on (check). I actually managed to de-nasty my heels... after pumice last night, i slathered vaseline on them... now smooth as a baby's bottom this am (check). Yep, looks like i am ready for ER!

Now just more waiting. It isn't scheduled until 1pm :shock: . Totally sucks as i can't eat or drink... Luckily i am so busy helping dh with his case that it is helping the hours move by. Dh didn't get home from the office until 3:30 am (i made it home earlier, but the rest of his staff was on a roll!), it was so worth it as most of the prep is now done. I woke up when he got home, so I drank an ocean of water... hoping my veins won't be completely flat for the iv.

Have one more project i really want to finish for him before leaving for ER... as after that, i will be of little or no help to him :wink: . so will do personals later.

Ciao!

ok, i am awake and alert and lying on the couch. Everything went well. They opted not to give me any narcotics during the retrieval at all... just toradol. And actually, i did all right with that... waking up was much easier without the narcotics. He got 11 eggs, and said they all looked good (Ha! the rotten part comes later!). Will find out how many farts tomorrow evening.

Just as an aside... it is amazing how we get used to baring our voodoos. All sense of modesty in that regard seems to have now officially gone out the window for me. Case in point... usually, when i get into the OR, i have the iv in, they get me up on the table, and soon after, i drift off to sleep. This time, the anesthesiologist didn't put my iv in until i was in the OR. She asked me a bunch of questions, told me that my "reputation" proceeded me, and that she would be planning on me breathing the whole time. Liked her already! Anyway, as she is getting me set up, the staff gets me draped, etc. Usually i am asleep for this. They put a big 'ol light shining into my crotch and everything else was draped around it (at this point i was thinking about the Reproducers :wink: ). Dr. D walks in from the door with a full view of my now well lighted and draped crotch. He starts making small talk... asking me if i am going to be behaving myself this time, etc. Now ladies.. i am by nature a very modest person. So all the sudden it all hit me. How odd it is that i have become used to such events! It doesn't hardly phase me anymore... ok, the lighting thing got to me a little... kind of like the soccer stadium lighting :roll: . But lets be honest... what the h*ll is there to be embarassed about at this point?

Ok, i am totally rambling, so the lortab i took after the surgery must be totally kicked in at this point. I am off to take another nap.

Hope you all are well.

SASSY - So so glad to hear that the retrieval went well. The whole no breathing thing is really no bueno. I am glad they were able to get those 11 "rotten" eggs. I can't wait to hear how they transpire over the next 24 hours.

I do think the whole IVF process just drops your standards across the board. My DH always like to comment on how stressful it is for him to do his "business" with all waiting and knowing what you are doing in the room. Meanwhile his wife is bearing her wares to the world in the next room with broadway lights on her hoo. The things we are willing to do!

Hope you have a great night and tell DH to get to bed early so he is fresh for his trial tomorrow.

I am off to bed. My arms are still shaking from running the sawsall all day. Angie - I LOVE REMODELING! You just give the details and I will turn that place into a palace... on a budget.

Night Night!
