A Little Bit O' Luck In A Box

Guess what wonderful surprise came my way today?

This!!

A Mardi Gras King Cake from Gambinos!!! Along with some other very fun stuff:

I don't know if I'm supposed to know who it's from... but I do! (A little birdie gave me a heads up something lovely was headed my way.)

So Jerie B., THANK YOU!!! I'm so touched, and honored, and I can't wait until this weekend, when I'm gonna have an extra big piece in hopes of getting that little plastic baby!!!

Because, as you know, this is a year when I could really use some extra good luck.

And if this latest IUI is successful? I think we know who gets the credit...

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez! (or swim, as it were)

Mardi Gras, New Orleans, 1992. The best time I'll never remember.

well, first, thrilled you are thrilled and it was sent on behalf of all your little villagers here on your blog who cross everything twice and hope against hope FAT Tuesday will explode with new meaning.
second, as always the one who gets the credit is the one who continues to push the rock up the hill-i am only the messenger who, truthfully is so over that hill.
third, for those of you who do not speak 'drunk' the translation for laissez les bon temps rouler is 'let the good times roll'..a catch phrase in new orleans and much repeated at mardi gras along with 'throw me something, mister'...so, all that applies to you and your journey, especially that 'mister' part.
lastly, d.keighley: in '92 that was YOU???

Just so you know that I have everything crossed for you and hope that this one is the one! I love reading your open and honest blogs and thank you for sharing your life, reminding me that there are others who can use a positive thought from time to time. Love and hugs from the UK. xoxo

I am awaiting the day this turns into a blog where we can follow the ups and downs of your pregnancy. Fingers crossed that it's soon!

You know, if you keep the entire king cake for yourself, you're guaranteed to get the baby!

My Books (with Elizabeth Craft)

'Bass Ackwards and Belly Up' and 'Footfree and Fancyloose' tell the story of four best friends who commit the ultimate suburban sin: putting off college to pursue their dreams.
Publisher's Weekly said: "Full of romance and adventure, laughter and tears, the story is a reminder that veering from the straight and narrow road doesn't always lead to a dead end."

What is Starfish Envy??

L.A. 2009. I’m stuck in traffic on the 101 freeway, listening to Isabella Rosselini on NPR. Isabella, for some reason, mentions that starfish are one of those rare species that can reproduce asexually, and I realize that if I could do that, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a boyfriend/husband. I wouldn’t have to internet date! I wouldn't have to figure out if I want to/can/should have a baby/adopt a baby/child on my own. I wouldn't have to stress about things like FSH levels, or weigh my feelings on in vitro versus adoption. I would just have a baby. Thus began my starfish envy.
