  on becoming awesome — Authority: 131
  So, the shot didn’t go as well as I thought it would. Joey and I were at Joey’s uncle Ken’s house, in their bedroom with the door shut, because that was the only place we could find that wasn’t covered in Woestmans.  (It’s Family Reunion week!)  We were bent over the instruction book, trying to figure out ...

  I’ve been up since 7:30.  The stupid Dumpster man decided to WHAM WHAM WHAM the Dumpsters against the concrete in the parking lot this morning, thus rendering me unable to sleep any longer.  But it’s OK, I decided, because tomorrow is Saturday and I can try again to sleep in. I loafed around for about an hour, ...

  on becoming awesome — Authority: 131
  A “jibbly” is the singular form of “jibblies”.  Say if you were only slightly weirded out by something, it would make you feel a little jibbly.  But if it was really, really wierd?  Then it would give you the jibblies.  Maybe that’s not clear, and if it’s not then I guess I can’t help you. Joey and ...

• Fertilized

  
  Communiqu — Authority: 124
  I know it’s silly to be worried about a fert report when you’ve always had good fertilization rates, but honestly one just never knows if they’ve fertilized or not and for me I find the wait to find out if they’ve fertilized or not THE most stressful part of a treatment. So I sat twiddling my [...]
