I need sleep!

So my friend Magan called me to let me know of a huge sale at a store in Piedmont, Arden and Associates, and I am so glad she did! The bargains that she was telling me she got made me have to take an hour of annual leave and go out there. I called my friend Jeremy and he went with me. I am always happy to shop with him because he inevitably spends more money than I do, which makes me feel better about myself! Needless to say, I walked out with 7 new pieces of art. SALE of the CENTURY!

I have been sleep deprived lately because my poor husband’s allergies are out of control. Is anyone else having problems? I have felt so bad for the guy, so this morning when I woke up I was real sweet and asked him if he was just exhausted, and his response was, “No, I slept really well.” Lucky man, because if I say I got 4 hours of sleep, I am being generous. Tonight I might sleep in the guest room!

My 32nd birthday is coming up in 15 days. I am not upset about it because once I tackled 30; it is just another year to be happy that I am alive! My boss was in my office earlier and saw me email a picture of a Tory Burch wallet that I want for my birthday to my husband and she was in shock. She could not believe that my sweet little husband would need help getting me a gift because he is always so perfect. Well, here is my husband’s deepest, darkest secret. I love him to pieces, but gift selection is not his forte. (For those of you who remember his very expensive coffee table book on Ralph Lauren that he got me for our first Christmas, you understand.) It is just easier this way. We surprise each other at Christmas and Valentines, but birthdays are “here, this is what I want.” Silly, huh?

Do you want to know how I know that I am madly in love with my husband? I cry when I hear Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You.” This totally “pop” song that in no way is meant to be a mushy song comes on and I just tear up! It just fits us! It is not that we are dysfunctional because we fight, it is just we are SO opposite, most people would think we would be dysfunctional. Neither of us have ever dated someone like one another. He is shy, tender, really nice, laid back and easy going. I am loud, high strung; speak my mind, full of energy and always on the go, but we are so happy (again speaking for him as well because he hardly gets a word in edgewise)! It is wonderfully bizarre.

I had another conversation with my doctor’s office yesterday. They really want me to try In-vitro again, as they think that my chances are still really high. They have me in the books, in pencil, for June to begin the process. We can’t decide what to do because it is SO expensive and we are not sure how we will come up with that much money. We always said, before we started this journey, that we would do In-vitro 3 times, and if we were not successful, we would know it was not meant to be. $63,000 for a baby….. That still shocks me. That is a nice new car! Again, “Angry Amy” comes out thinking we have to pay all this money to have a baby and crack addicts, abusers, etc… can have as many as they want and then cost US a ton of money raising their children. It makes me nauseous! I told them that we would have an answer by Monday, the 13th. Decisions, decisions!

Have a great weekend!
