Lonely

My husband has gone camping almost every weekend for the past 2 months. I like that he enjoys camping and has fun with his friends but I do not like being alone. This wouldn't be a problem if I had friends to pal around with but I just don't. I have my sister in law when she isn't working or running around with her actual friends. It really bothers me that I do not have any friends. I would love to go out and meet people but it makes me ill. I feel I have nothing to offer. I have no real interests I just follow around my husband and his friends like a lost puppy dog. I feel so pathetic and am reminded of how little I have to offer others everytime I am left alone while my husband has fun with his friends of which he has many.
Does anyone have any advice?
How do you meet people as an adult?

The Veterinarian

The veterinarian takes all of my money! Why is it so expensive?
All of that aside she really made me feel good today! She said she was impressed by how well we care for the number of pets that we have. She also said that they were lucky to have us as pet parents. That really made me feel good and like I was making an impact on their lives none of which started out the best!

Sextuplets

I am watching a show called "OMG! Sextuplets" whilst cleaning my home and it really made me think about what I want. Although I want to be pregnant and experience pregnancy the outcome is what is most important to me. In this time of IUI and IVF I do not think I would ever consider that option. I know that I want one child two tops and IUI and IVF usually produce multiples. That is so not up my alley! Not to mention it just wouldn't be manageable considering we would already be in debt from the procedures. I am glad that these are available for people who want pregnancy, but they are just not for me.
I have been looking into adoption and if I suffer another miscarriage with no knowledge of how to correct the problem my husband and I will be starting the process. It will be heartbreaking to not become pregnant but it will be so fulfilling to be a mother to a child who needs one.
How do you feel about fertility or lack thereof?

catch up

Wow. It has been awhile. Life has been busy.
First they thought our dog Guru, had a spot on his lung. Luckily it turned out to be nothing but it was really scary. I do not know what I will do when they actually find a spot. We took him to the regular vet today and she was shocked by how well he is doing. Apparently she diagnosed 4 dogs with osteosarcoma at the same time and Guru is the only one who is alive and well. I am so glad he is doing well but sorry for the other families who lost their dog.
Also my Mom was diagnosed with MS. Which sucks, but she is on a medication and doing well. Luckily it is not rapidly progressing but it is still scary to think about my mom in pain or having trouble moving her limbs. Well enough of the sad stuff, on to the resolutions.
My resolutions have been going okay. My house has been staying relatively clean and I have kept up on the laundry. My dad's gf has offered to do the kitchen for us so that project is progressing. Unfortunately I will not be having a baby in '09 but hopefully we will be pregnant by 2010. It is really depressing when I my af comes every month, but I'm dealing the best I can.
Now for the book challenge. I have read 47 books so I am definitely going to be able to do 100 this year.
I will be back when I have something new to report!

The Inauguration

President Obama is so inspiring. I hope that people go easy on him considering the horrible mess he has stepped into.
Now on to the fashion. I thought his wife made a poor color choice and was kind of frumpy. Their daughters were adorable and I actually found myself wondering if I could find Sasha's outfit in my size. I'm such a geek.
I caught their first dance later and I have to say Michelle's evening dress was not much better. I didn't love it.

Now on to the Book Challenge.
I am on to my 7th book! It is titled Testimony and is written by Anita Shreve. I like it so far.
I also have 5 books waiting for me at the library! I think that I am well on my way to reading 100 books this year!

More Books

I read 2 more books for the challenge!

5. The Office of Desire by Martha Moody-- I found this book to be very very odd. It was a little difficult to follow but interesting.
6. Don't Tell Zoey by Katherine Applegate-- This is a YA series I started to read while in high school and never finished, so I am trying to finish it now! I enjoy these books they make me feel nostalgic.

94 books to go!

3 More Books

I read three more books! 4 down 96 to go!
2. Knitting Under the Influence by Clare Lazebnik-- Cute story..light read. I enjoyed it.
3. Life's A Beach by Claire Cook--I thought this book was terrible but I read it anyway.
4. You Don't Know Jack by Erin McCarthy--I enjoyed this book as well though it was a slight departure from the type of books I usually read.

I am currently working on book 5 The Office of Desire by Martha Moody, so far so good.
