We were doing our Embryo Transfer cycle (after having one frozen embryo from IVF) this month. Unfortunately I had a scan today and there is another polyp in my uterus. It has to be removed before we can do the transfer. This means another wait of 6-8 weeks for the operation and then a wait for the beginning of the next cycle. I am so over waiting, and so angry with the fact that my body can not behave itself.
It is only about 6 months since I had the last 2 removed. It was a minor operation done under a general, but I ended up with a mild infection afterwards and was in major pain for 2 days. Something I am not looking forward to repeating.
The things we go through for a child and this is even before it is born, I hate to imagine what it will be like when we actually have a child.

Another January post!
Well, here is the token January post for the year. It seems a trend, I do a post in January and then nothing for the rest of the year.
The good news was that I completed my 2011 reading challenge of 50 books in the year. I didn't get the 12 books off the 1001 books list read though although I did manage a few and are still struggling with Jane Eyre at the moment... ugh. I guess for this year, I will aim for 60 books and read some more off that 1001 books list.
A friend on FB is doing 365 photos, 1 a day. I thought that would be great too. I got a new camera over Christmas and so it would be a good chance to get to know how to use it and get some great pics.
Overall I just want to have some sort of sense of accomplishment by the end of 2012. Of what I am not sure yet...

Here are a whole lot of random photos so I can try to use them to create my iGoogle theme.

2011 Reading Challenge
Well, the new year has started and the first month is nearly halfway through already! It will be Christmas again before we know it.
Anyway I have decided to set myself up a challenge for the year to expand on my reading material. Last year I spent a lot of time reading my fave genre of paranormal romance. Unfortunately a lot seemed to be in the teenage section of the library... not sure what that says about me!
This year I plan to read 50 books over the year, which is not quite one a week. This should be achievable. I'm not sure how many I read last year, but if it is a really good book I can finish it in a day or two. To make it a bit more challenging I am going to set myself a goal of reading one book off the 1001 books to read before you die list each month. I will avoid those that I have read in the past and if I don't complete the book then it doesn't count.
I will post the books I have read on my Goodreads page, for anyone that is interested. I may come on here to add any that were particularly worthwhile.
One book that I finished a week ago was Twitchhiker. It was the funniest book that I have read in a very long time. It also highlighted the need to step outside of my normal reading comfort zone.
Hopefully in the next 11 and half months I will have many such enjoyable reads!

Nearly a year later...
So much for my new years resolutions for 2010! LOL I did take my folic acid and vitamins most days.
The weight loss goal is the same for this year. Have started today with the Special K two week challenge. It is hard, but I am determined to stick it out for the 2 weeks. Then I will take it from there.
As for making any new ones... we'll see.

Wow... Post 7! And less than a month since my last post.... wonders will never cease.
Well it was the busiest week at work last week and I have made it through unscathed. I'm now looking forward to a little more chilled week this week.
We are going camping on Thursday for a couple of nights, just to get away for a change of scenery. We haven't camped since our trip to Tolaga Bay which was last summer. So this will be the first camping trip of the summer and of 2010. We are staying at Waikite Valley where they have hot pools and a campsite. It will be nice to relax in the pools and sleep under the stars.
Ok... I shall post again soon.

New Year's Resolutions
Well It has been nearly a year since I last posted a blog... lol... it really should be more often than an annual event.
Last year has been a pretty dreadful year for many people, me included. I am optimistic that 2010 will be a better year. It would be hard to be a worse one.
My resolutions for this year are pretty simple.
1. Lose 13kgs by the end of April.
2. Find a local Yoga class that meets outside of my work hours.
4. Not let "the little things" stress me out.
5. Keep this blog updated at least once a month.
6. Take my multi-vitamins and folic acid.
My husband (personal trainer) is going to do me a program ready to work on resolution 1. I have found a couple of walking groups that fit around my work hours so that will be a bit of motivation. The hardest thing for me and exercise is to find the something that motivates me to actually do it.
There is a great website which has a diary for food and exercise. It calculates the calories burnt and calories eaten. I have to keep my calories out, less than my calories in. Sounds easy, unfortunately for an unmotivated, exercise-hating couch potato that is not an easy thing at all.
