The first one...

...well, here it is...my first blog entry. Not many people will probably read this so it'll act like more of a journal than a blog really, but who cares...I might as well put my thoughts out there right. Maybe someone will identify with it....maybe it will help someone or make them think....you never know.

Anyway, a little more about me than what's on the profile....graduated Penn State with two BS degrees in 2000....graduated NYU Stern School from the Langone program with my MBA in 2007...married Scott in 2003 (he's a dork, but I love him)...moved back to PA from NJ in 2004...have 2 nieces and 2 nephews (1 niece is my sister's, 1 nephew and the twins (1 niece and 1 nephew) are Scott's sister's)...parents in Florida....Scott's parents in NJ...most of our friends in NJ...means we go there at least every third weekend if not every other...

I'm definitely a nerd...enjoy math and puzzles....read a lot of books (Scott hates how much money I spend at bookstores)...used to be a major tomboy....got more girly in the last few years (actually wear makeup, buy purses and shoes a lot now)...still like sports although I don't play a lot anymore since I gained so much weight...

Like I said, we're trying for a baby...lost the first attempt last fall...hate that most people hide that they've had a miscarriage and then come out of the woodwork when you have one...trying to be upfront about it with people....yeah, it hurts, but maybe someone will feel a little better knowing they're not alone if it happens to them and know they have someone to talk to if they want...took a while to get over it though...still having trouble since pretty much all my married friends (and some who aren't married yet) have just had or are having babies...hurts...I know it's not their fault, but that doesn't make it hurt less...makes me scared to keep trying sometimes but we keep plugging along...

That's all for now....check back later for more stream of consciousness posting....who knows, maybe I'll actually write something funny one of these days...
