4) Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.

6) Let the fun begin!

The Facts:

1) I didn't have my first make-out kiss until age 15. (I was a late bloomer, but I'm worth the wait.) It was with a girl with black and yellow spiked hair and black lipstick. (I should thank Keri whose blog post a few days ago gave me the idea for this one.)

2) I have 4 tattoos. My first was in 1990 and it was a little peace sign on my ankle. When I got it, I said, "One tattoo. Just one tattoo. Plain and simple. Just like me." In 1991, I got a panda with bamboo on my back. I changed it to, "Two tattoos." Sounded cute. In 1992, I was into Southwestern things. My friend designed me phoenix for my arm with a lot of really intricate designs and colors. I wanted something "more colorful than a rainbow." Then it was, "Three is a good number." By the 4th, I was an addict. I wanted more more more. In 1993, my other friend made T's name hidden into a design for my leg. I decided after that...that I was not going to get another tattoo until I was down to my goal weight. So, in 1994, I got a navel piercing instead. Nothing else since. (And no goal weight yet...LOL!)

3) I am unsure about putting this one, but people seem to find it interesting. Many years ago, I was kidnapped during a carjacking and survived (of course). Then 2 years later, I was in an armed robbery of a fast food place. (Needless to say, I am in therapy for "safety issues.")

4) My dad is from Greece and I love to visit my family, but it's been awhile. I speak some Greek, too.

5) I ice skated for the first time in my life at age 36. I LOVED it and do it often now! (I was kind of a natural.)

6) I still have my Christmas tree up and it's Jan 18th.

On the TTC front, I had my first follie scan this cycle and it was too early. (Last cycle was SO SHORT and I was afraid to miss it, so we did it before the usual time.) I had one that was the biggest, so I guess it will be a one follie month. The big one was 13mm and the other 2 were 8mm & 10mm. I have another d.ildo cam on Monday. They said my lining was okay for this early, but they want to see it thicker on Monday, too.

I also picked up my HCG from Fedex in NH today. Yeah, I forgot to tell you all. After we found the HCG at Freedo.m Drug, we found out that they can't ship to VT because they are having trouble with the licensing. UGH! But we were able to get it shipped to NH and held at Fedex so I could pick it up. Whew! Now I have it and feel MUCH better.

I've still been doing Weigh.t Watch.ers, too. (Well, pretty much.) I have now lost 12.2 pounds. At my max weight (212lbs), my BMI was 38. When I started WW (205lbs), it was 36. Now, it is 34 and I am 192.8 lbs. I still have a long long way to go, but I am happy to be rolling along. I hope it helps with my fertility this month!

I want to take a minute to send Cindy some positive thoughts and prayers. She has been through so much these past couple of months and I am thinking about her and wishing her good stuff really soon.

Holy crap! I'm SO sorry that you had to go through those things (the kidnaping and the robbery)!! How neat to be able to say that you survived those things though!!

So glad you stopped by our blog! I LOVED Vermont and miss it dearly. I went to Vermont Law School in South Royalton but lived for one year in Stockbridge, VT, and two years in South Strafford, VT. Here's the crazy thing - my family is from NOLA (although I grew up in Jackson, MS) and we visit there often. As a matter of fact, we have a trip planned in February to see my grandfather, for his 96th birthday.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you this cycle and I look forward to hearing more about your life in Vermont - and in NOLA!
