away

Thank you for your kind comments on the last post. I'm doing better today. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with work (or anything, really). Hopefully, my weekend plans will keep me pretty distracted.

I'm going away for the weekend! I am going to Paso Robles to go wine tasting! Yes, again. Yes, I was just wine tasting two weeks ago, but hey, if I can't get pregnant, I'm going to get drunk. We are going with my best friend and her husband.

The only problem is that there are more wineries that I want to go to then we have time for! Also, the wineries in Paso are sort of divided into three regions, which makes it difficult. We have a van driving us around tomorrow, so hopefully we'll hit all of the wineries I want to go to in one of the regions, making it more possible to stop by the others on Sunday.

I'd like to go to:
Zin Alley
Doce Robles
EOS
J. Lohr
Opolo
Peachy Canyon
Summerwood (if we have time)
Cambria (on the way home in Santa Maria area)


I know there were others, but I can't think of them now. So much wine, so little time!

Have a great weekend!

    Ohhh, have you been to Zin Alley yet? You HAVE to go if you haven't been there yet - Frank is so awesome, and his wine is out of this world (his zin port is my favorite port out there - though Opolo also has a good one). He's often closed during parts of the day, though, so you might want to make sure he's open before you get there (haha, I'm sure you know all this already, YOU are the native after all! :).

    Have a great time!! Hope you make it to Opolo too! Clearly I'm a red zin fan... ;) You've been to Turley, right? Just stop me, I could go on for hours about Paso - I just love it there. You are so lucky that you live nearby!

    Hi there! Sorry I haven't been commenting lately, but I have been reading along and thinking of you. I'm sorry you have hard choices ahead - it's not fair. I loved seeing the photos of your classroom - I'm so impressed! You must be such a fabulous teacher, whichever students you end up teaching will be lucky indeed!

    Have a wonderful time in Paso - that sounds so fun!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
