Happy (belated) New Year!

Hey everybody, Happy New Year! I hope you all rung in the New Year with as much pomp and circumstance as you could. As much as I was bitching about not having any plans, I ended up having a wonderful New Year! We did a late dinner and drinks (with two designated drivers, natch) with friends and got home in time to watch the MTV New Year's Eve Celebration. We were in bed by 12:15, which is about 3 hours past our usual bed time, so I'd say we were party animals.

I do have a gripe about the MTV celebration. Either we're getting too old and out of touch with what's "hot" or the show really sucked this year. It was hosted by that ho-bag Tila Tequila and she was just awful. It was like an anorexic Muppet speaking broken English. She was neither cute, nor funny, nor charming.... at all. The performances were very lackluster and there were no standout "stars" in attendance. Even my guilty pleasure Flo Rida wasn't that great. They really need to step it up next year.

Anyway. In the latest installment of "Days of My Uterus" I am home from work today. My doctor, Joe and I have decided it would be best to do another laparoscopic surgery to see what's going on in my uterus and fallopian tubes. I'll be having the surgery tomorrow so I'm doing the wonderful clear liquid "cleanse" today. It should be a great day. We're doing the surgery to see what kind of scar tissue I have that was caused by the last surgery I had in 2004. The doctor will also be repairing any damage he finds while he's in there and will place a synthetic membrane in my tube and wherever else he finds the scar tissue so that everything will stay open and clear in the future. Since I finally have insurance to pay for it and since my doctor feels it will increase my chances of getting (and staying) pregnant we're going to go for it. Cross your fingers! He will also be giving me a high-definition, narrated DVD of the procedure so I can have a guided tour of my reproductive organs. I'll host viewing parties if anyone's interested. LOL I think it's pay back for all the times I've made fun of people's flaws while watching our HD TV. I'll post an update once the surgery is complete.

In other news, it's freaking cold here! I really enjoyed the weather we had over the last couple of weeks. We had highs around 85 and it has been sunny and beautiful. Joe and I were even dangling our legs in the pool last week and I contemplated slipping in to my bathing suit to get some sun. That all changed yesterday. The high yesterday was 42 degrees and the low last night was in the 20's. I'm not cut out for this. Believe it or not, we actually got some snow flurries along the coast this morning. I'm glad I'm at home in my warm house today. I don't know how you northerners do it. I know for sure that I'm a 100% Florida girl because this crap is making me miserable. I don't get it when people say they enjoy the brisk air. But, then again, I'm sure people don't get it when I say I enjoy the 90 degree summer days. All I know is that I can't wait for summer!

Well, that about does it. Like I said, I will keep you all posted on my post-surgery progress and all the other craziness that is going on with me too. Stay warm everybody!!

I feel like you are my newest "reality show". I find myself checking your blog everyday and especially enjoy the entries where you talk about what you and Joe are doing. It makes NY feel closer to FL.
And talk about cold...it was 0 the other day. However we are suppose to be getting a heat wave that might push us into the 30's!
Best of luck in your surgery. We are pulling for you. Let us know as soon as you are feeling better.
Love, Em
P.S. I also love to look at the family pictures!
