Copying Karen

I want to make a random list today too!

1. The insemination was HORRIBLE today. She had to use this metal clamp that basically looks like giant pinchers and she pulled on my uterus so she could get the catheter in to insert the sperm. It burned, cramped, and in general felt like someone was stabbing my uterus with a giant, rusty, knife. Graphic enough? Good news was that we had a lot of sperm to work with and they were all swimming in the right direction. This month we seriously have no reason to not get pregnant....we'll see.

2. I'm on a pie kick. My mom and I made a pie together on Monday using my grandma's crust recipe and while it's a total pain in the ass to make the crust, it tastes incredible! Our first pie was really ugly. Today's pie is still pretty ugly but I'm confident it will taste good. I'm still working out the whole crust thing.....I'm going to make a peach pie next week. This week we're on apple.

3. Kendall and I are starting a marriage encounter with a group of people from church. I think it will be good for us. It's a 7 week course that we each host at our house one week. The thing I like about this is that the people attending are highly social and while we will spend a great deal of time talking about the intended subject, we will also most likely spend a great deal of time talking about everything else! During our 4th of July picnic the conversation ranged from having babies to the question of what a cock ring really is. LOL! Granted it was all girls in the conversation, but still....hilarious!

4. I like cheese. Especially Cabot Extra Sharp White Cheddar. Just in case anyone wants to get my a wedge for my birthday...hehe!

5. I really like that new Christina Aguilera song, Ain't No Other Man. I just can't stop dancing in my seat. It's just fun. Oh yeah, and I'm obsessed with Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand too.

6. Like, Karen, I really like mashed potatoes. But that have to be made from scratch.

7. I've been making lots of food from scratch lately. It's strange. I've been feeling domestic. Okay, only in the kitchen, but it's just weird for me to think that everything I eat isn't coming from a box.
