Pregnancy test negative. Huge relief.
Strange that unprotected sex sill freaks me out after 11 years of marriage.

The doctor explained it to me like this…

Your desire to NOT be pregnant is directly related to your pregnancy test result. Therefore, the more you want to be pregnant the more negative your test will be. I find this statement to be almost 100% true, since I spent three years really really really wanting to be pregnant and never was. But now, with two kids, one only eight months old, I really really really DO NOT want to be pregnant. Also, you have to take into account the “Vacation Factor”. The likelihood of women getting their period while on vacation is extremely high. Those percentages go up the more tropical the destination. So, relatives in Iowa, not so much. But a week in Cozumel will basically guarantee getting your period.

So what does all of this mean? Well, as I said before, I really really really DO NOT want to be pregnant. So that bumps up my chances of being pregnant. However, the possibility of one sneaking past the goalie is unlikely. If you don’t know, I had a LOT of help in getting pregnant with both my beautiful children. A LOT! So that works in my favor. I’d say with that factored in my chances go from 50% not pregnant up to 80% not pregnant.

However, I am leaving for vacation on Friday. Relatives in Arizona. So what is the likelihood of me getting my period while on vacation? Considering that I’m on day +38, I definitely should have gotten my period by now. I have had some patches of acne - which bodes well for me getting my period, however, I have not had any cramping or desire to binge, which means I probably am not going to be getting my period anytime soon. That knocks the 80% not pregnant down to 60% not pregnant.

I took a blood test/pregnancy test at the doctor today - results later this afternoon. He checked a couple of things and gave me an Rx for The Pill. He said if the pregnancy test comes back negative, start the pill on Sunday and let science take care of it. But, really how dependent on science is my uterus? I mean, if my uterus wanted to donate itself to science, give me the fucking release forms!

We also need to take into account the “Life just fucking with you factor”. This basically means that because I never ever once got pregnant on my own, and have had two kids via IVF, the chances of me “just happening” to get pregnant is basically zero. But with the “Life just fucking with you” factor, chances are that with two kids via IVF and being irresponsible with birth control the four times hubbin and I have had sex since the baby the 60% not pregnant number goes back down to 50% not pregnant.

With all that, I’m still sitting at 50-50. What kind of bullshit is that?

The buns got his first tooth. He’s sooooo crabby!

Down 4.6 lbs as of Tuesday. But had Wendy’s for lunch and now want to shoot myself with guilt.

Arizona trip coming up, we leave Friday. It will be nice to just get the hell out of dodge for a while.

Buns started crawling. I still can’t get over the fact that every time he sees me he smiles. Even if he looks away for a minute or I look away, when he turns back he smiles. Melts my heart.

I haven’t really talked about this, because in my mind, it’s not over and why comment on something when the results aren’t even in? But Norm Colman can suck it.

If he truly represented the great state of Minnesota he would let the recount happen without comment or incident. Deep down in my heart I believe that Al Franken lost the election. But with a margin of victory less than one half of one percent state law mandates a recount. And I think my Senator should support that recount, even encourage it.

Minnesota has one of the highest voter turn out rates in the nation. The district I live in has an over 80% turn out rate. It’s something I take great pride in as a Minnesotan. If Norm Coleman knew what that meant, not just to me, but to the state as a whole he’d keep his big Boston Cream Pie hole shut!

Don’t trash the process! Don’t trash the Secretary of State! If Coleman was confident in his victory, he’d go about his business and say, call me when it’s done. But every vote counts! I’ll tell you something about Minnesota Norm, and I’m telling you this because you obviously didn’t grow up here. The taxpayers of this state will shell out money again and again to have their vote counted. And our elected officials should feel the exact same way. Coleman obviously doesn’t get it. Therefore, he can kiss my fat Irish ass!

This is Jonesies regular fridge.

If you haven’t seen Keith Olbermann talking about Prop 8, I recommend you take a deep breath and watch below. I feel that we as a nation have taken a huge step backwards on this issue. We live next door to a same sex couple. They have been with each other as long as Hubbin and I have. They both have their names on the mortgage like Hubbin and I do. OBVIOUSLY in a committed relationship right? So why the hell do 27 states go out of their way to say No, to them being married, even by common law? I just don’t get it.

And what is California going to do with the +18,000 gay couples it has married so far? Do you unmarry them? Do they get Grandfathered in? And IF they get grandfathered in, why even bother? It’s like saying these marriages count but those going forward don’t? How can there be a constitutional ban on love? And why is CA going back to the days of segregation? Because that’s what this is. It’s saying you over here are OK, and you over here are not. And those with the nots have less rights than those with.

Love is love people. I’ve loved a few against my will, when I knew it was bad for me and only going to end in hair dye and tears. I didn’t choose it, it just happened and it was awful. Can there be a ban on that love too? Is my love for the fabulous Mr. O now going to be scrutinized as well? Sweet chocolate christ I hope not.

Ok, so I am on Week 3 and I’ve lost 2.5 lbs. I don’t really notice a physical difference yet, but mentally it’s great to see the numbers. I went to three different meetings (on Slootie’s excellent advice) and found a meeting leader I really like. She’s absolutely in love with the buns which is nice because I pretty much have to bring him with.

Boo is hilarious. After a few months in French Immersion school her articulation is astounding. She told hubbin her Christmas list last night, but it includes gifts for everyone. I’ve recreated it here….

For Daddy - a CD with Batman on it.
For Mommy - a rose with no bees
For the Buns - a rocket ship (then she made a rocket ship take-off noise)
For Her - a work bench for her tools so she can help fix things.

I’ve racked my brain and checked my calendars and even looked at the archives of MDC and checked my sent e-mails. I’m pretty sure that I’m very, very, VERY late with my period. This wouldn’t normally shock me, but hubbin and I have been wink wink, say no more lately and I’m trying to count days (which I haven’t had to do in FOREVER) and I’m positive that it’s been over 31 days since my last P. A recent pregnancy test came back negative, but even if that’s the case, I SO don’t want to get pregnant right now. I called my Dr. to get on the pill. Hi, I’m 16 again.
(Actually that’s bullshit since I didn’t have sex until I was 18 and didn’t get on the pill until college. I guess I’m just prorating for inflation).

That one point over the Packers is so sweet, I might have to go see a dentist on Monday. SHAZAM! VIKINGS STYLE!
