Who knew there were so many scams and wild goose chases out there when looking for a work-at-home job. Did you know you can make thousands of dollars a day working from home? Just send some money to God-knows-who and then they'll tell you the secret. Ugh. I don't mind working and earning my pay, but I shouldn't have to pay someone to hire me, eh?
I know I really need to look around town for 'real' jobs, but I can honestly say my heart is not in it. I like my time at home, with the dogs, doin' my own thang. I think once we get back from all of our holiday travel, I'll be ready to dig my heels in and just do it.
Big money, big money, no whammies...

My first meme!
So, I guess I got tagged... a MONTH AGO! Eh, heh, heh, heh.... *blushes*

#1 I think a lot of red-headed men are HOT. One of my first big crushes was on the red-headed cousin of my manager at work. *sigh*
#2 I am the genetic freak of the family. My parents and 2 brothers all have brown eyes and tan easily. I have hazel/green eyes and fair skin that burns easily. In our family photos from Florida vacations, it looks like some pink, sunburned child walked into the picture of The Tan Family.
#3 I have a retarded dog who barks at his own reflection in the window. I don't think he understands why the other dog backs away when he does and advances at the exact same time, too.
#4 I was a high school band nerd. I started playing oboe in 4th grade, then picked up the saxophone and bassoon in high school. I started on the tenor saxophone, then later played alto and bari. I liked to tell people I was 'tri-saxual'.... I would try any kind of sax!
#5 I've never seen the Star Wars movies. Yeah, that's about all I can say about that.
#6 I've never had braces or a cavity, and I've got beautiful teeth, if I do say so myself!
#7 I have written erotic fiction. ;)
OK, thanks to Becki for tagging me. Unfortunately I don't know anyone else who blogs, so I can't link to anyone else! Oh well!

Well, this sucks.
Much to my dismay, I found out last Friday that there's a very good (well, not really good) reason why I've not been able to get pregnant after almost 2 years of trying. I had a hysterosalpingogram (a.k.a., HSG) and was told my fallopian tubes are blocked. First let me just say that the 'minor discomfort' I was told that I might experience during the HSG was more like excruciating torture... down there. Don't get me wrong, I understand that giving birth is not exactly going to feel good, but at least you get to take home a prize at the end and not bad news, eh?
Anyway, my next stop is a Reproductive Endocrinologist. There is only one in Northern Louisiana, and I didn't get a good vibe when I called his office. Since infertility treatments are unlikely to be covered by insurance, I asked if they have any suggestions for financing. I was told that in the case of in-vitro fertilization, approximately $6,000 would be due up front, no financing. As my father later pointed out, if they're the only fertility clinic in the region, they've got no competition, and therefore can run their business however they chose. Fair enough, I suppose. However, I then received a return phone call from a clinic in Houston, and both the scheduling and finance representatives were extremely warm, helpful and compassionate. Wow! I think I found me a doctor! I got the name of this doctor from my dear sister-in-law, who not only is a patient of hers but is also a doctor herself. So, when a family member who is also a doctor trusts and recommends another doctor, she's probably good, right?
