Blog post

This blog has ended up being a lot of random posts about music, movies, books, etc. I've set up a new website at silverfamily.wordpress.com that is a little more serious...well not too serious 'cause it's me writing...but more focused on things going on in our lives like moving, job changes, infertility, etc. I just put a new post there today. Enjoy!

LAN

We had a LAN over Memorial Day weekend that was a lot of fun. Alot of Brennan's family members and friends have started playing WoW (or were playing before) so we all got together at our place, set up our computers, and played together. We try and do this every other month or so. Good times! This time it was me and Brennan, Norm and Tim, Dylan, Kelsey, Kyle, Brandon and Jess, Ben Engh, Ben G... I think that's it.

Third try's a charm?

My third IUI was last Friday and I was sitting in the room with the nurse working in between my legs. Brennan was sitting quietly in there, too. I told her that I thought that maybe I had some good follicles because I was pretty bloated down there. Brennan decided to chime in then with "hope you don't have gas!" lol. That's my hubby!

Talk Like Shakespeare Day - April 23rd

In honor of this new Chicago holiday, an excerpt from Hamlet Act 1. Scene III.

"And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."

Twilight Guy For Me!

I am Mrs. Jasper Hale
You are perfect for Jasper. You are caring and whimsical and have a strong personality. You can be passionate, and dramatic, but that's okay, since Jasper knows exactly how to calm you down.

That sounds about right. The book gave a much more thorough description of Jasper than the movie; I thought he was a great character.
