The Cure for Boredom is Curiosity.

Let's see, not feeling pregnant yet. :) Although I do feel crappy. I was on the couch asleep at 7:30 last night. Not sure what was up with that, I did email the nurse asking about infection symptoms post IUI. Not freaking out, but just covering all bases. Today still not feeling great and combined with the rain - blah! - and the need to do some house stuff I'm not very motivated to do anything but sit on the couch and read.

And all you East coast people who are happy with the snow. Enjoy it but PLEASE don't send it my way. I'm done with winter. It's time for spring and flowers and sunshine and not having to crank the heat up.

Yesterday was also the day for weird things. I freecycled the dog house that was left from the previous owners. So I get this email from a lady interested. Fantastic! I'm getting this thing out of my yard. Then she asks if Lester is my maiden or married name because she keeps finding Lester's that she is related to through Freecycle. Weird, but I write her back and tell her Lester is my maiden name and that Lester comes to me via Kansas. So she writes back explaining she is a genealogy freak and starts giving me the whole Native American part of the Lester genealogy. At which point I yell out to Ronette "Holy sh*t! I might be related to this chick!" So hopefully if she comes by today to get the dog house I'll be able to meet her and talk to her. I emailed my cousin who has done a lot of research on my family so I'm waiting to hear back from her as well.

Earlier in the week we received the birth announcement in the mail.
I was happy, extremely surprised and a bit annoyed.
This is the first thing that we haven't gotten a "sneak preview" of either through Bayly or his parents. And that's probably why we're a bit peeved around here. We've always been on the first to know list and now we're one step from the "if I run into you at the store and either I have the kid with me or remember that you probably don't know, then I'll tell you" list.

Today the peeved-ness continues with the baptism invitation.
I know they are new parents and that's difficult enough, but come on, pick up the phone. I think we deserve a "sorry we didn't call you sooner", I mean it's not like there's a 20 year history or anything. I feel like we're getting the "hi, we've had a baby and we haven't gotten a gift from you yet" mail.

I'm sure I'm overreacting and it's probably something really stupid and simple.
