Good morning everyone!

Today was my first shot of lupron, the first of my drugs for ivf (ok, I've been taking the pill but that doesn't really count!)  The shot was nice and easy, tiny little needle!  So in another 10 days I add another kind of shot.  It's all very exciting.  I feel like a mad scientist.

Two weeks from today I start my first round of medications for in vitro fertilization.  I am spazzing out.  I can't focus on anything but that!  I need these two weeks to go  by FAST!

I arise today

Through the strength of Christ's birth with his baptism,

Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the judgment of Doom.

I arise today

Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,

In obedience of angels,

In the service of archangels,

In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,

In prayers of patriarchs,

In predictions of prophets,

In preaching of apostles,

In faith of confessors,

In innocence of holy virgins,

In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today

Through the strength of heaven:

Light of sun,

Radiance of moon,

Splendor of fire,

Speed of lightning,

Swiftness of wind,

Depth of sea,

Stability of earth,

Firmness of rock.

I arise today

Through God's strength to pilot me:

God's might to uphold me,

God's wisdom to guide me,

God's eye to look before me,

God's ear to hear me,

God's word to speak for me,

God's hand to guard me,

God's way to lie before me,

God's shield to protect me,

God's host to save me

From snares of devils,

From temptations of vices,

From everyone who shall wish me ill,

Afar and anear,

Alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,

Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul,

Against incantations of false prophets,

Against black laws of pagandom

Against false laws of heretics,

Against craft of idolatry,

Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,

Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

Christ to shield me today

Against poison, against burning,

Against drowning, against wounding,

So that there may come to me abundance of reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,

Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ on my right, Christ on my left,

Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today

Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,

Through belief in the threeness,

Through confession of the oneness,

Of the Creator of Creation.

Hey!  I went to this really cool place in Palm Desert called Dinners Done Right!  You basically pay $189 and you make 12 family size (feeds 6 pple) size meals and put them in freezer bags and freeze them.  You don't have to come up with recipies, shop, chop up food, or do the dishes!  My friend and I split the family size meals up, and it was fabulous.  Next month we are going to go back and each do the full family size.  Last night we had Tarragon Chicken, so yummy.  All I did was pop it into the oven for 30 minutes and done!  Tonight is Bahama-Mama Pork Chops (with pineapple, raisins and a Hawaiian marinade).  It was so fun, and so easy and I highly suggest you try it if you have one near you (they are based in the North West).  There is another place called Dream Dinners, but they seem more expensive (which is why I went with Dinners Done Right even though they were so far away from me!!!)

I don't like rides that only consist of a drop.  Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind drops on rollercoasters when they are PART of the ride, but a ride that ONLY drops does nothing for me.  Ok, well it doesn't do nothing for me, it scares the crunch out of me!  So, since the opening of The Hollywood Tower of Terror at Disneyland's California Adventure I have studiously avoided it.  I prefer to spend my time on California Screamin' where drops make sense.  Last night, however, I was discussing with Ed that at some point we really should try the Tower of Terror.  A few moments later a random lady handed us two fast passes for it that she wasn't going to use!  So, with no excuses left we headed over to the ride.

There are 19 days until Christmas.  Does that frighten anyone else?
