Hello, Flo.

So that was a 3 week long cycle. Awesome. I thought everything was squared away after 5 months off BCP, but I was wrong. ::sigh:: I totally fell into the trap of "Maybe this month it will happen", which was a total pipe dream. The irrational side of my brain still hoped, though.

I feel really stupid writing that, considering this is my first cycle trying and I know women who have been at this for much much longer. I was kind of hoping that I would be one of those women who got PG the first month they were trying. Oh well. On to cycle 2.

This past week my husband was sick as a dog. He doesn't take sick days, so as the week wore on he got sicker and sicker. This past weekend he finally started feeling better. Then I started getting sick. Blerg.

In happier news: I found the most awesome soup recipe ever. Gina's Weight Watchers blog has a recipe for Potato Leek soup that is to.die.for. I made it last night for M. and he pretty much ate the entire pot himself and wanted more. It's only 3 points/cup, which doesn't seem like much until you make the soup and realize that it's a very thick and hearty soup. That, coupled with fresh-baked white bread was an awesome starter for our meal last night, which ended with broiled chicken, white sticky rice and steamed zucchini.

Dinner WIN.

I think the sleep inducing cold medicine is kicking in so I'm going to wrap up for now. I'll probably write more later when I'm not so drowsy.
