Snow Day

I totally stayed home from work today on account of the Midwestern snow storm. It was fantastic. I have been painting and lounging about all day. Howard and I occasionally raided the cabinets for junk food. Howard did some bunny hops in the snow too. I only wished S. could have been with us. Instead she is locked within the sterile walls of her giant corporate office. She got home last night at 2:30am and had to leave for work this morning at 9. I don't think we can try to have a baby this month. She will probably be working like this for another 6 weeks or so and that is not conducive to conception. Although, maybe she won't have as much time to obsess over every ovarian twinge, and that could work to our favor.

We uploaded our anonymous donor, Daniel's baby photo as wallpaper on our laptop for inspiration. I just love him. I think that I don't have as much weirdness surrounding this whole making- a- baby -that's- part -of -some -stranger business because we both have an odd connection to him. S. saw a commercial for next season's The Bachelor and was convinced for 5 minutes that he was our donor because they had similar voices and occupations. She gets carried away sometimes.

S.'s mom also told us she is sure that S. will have a boy, if and when it works. I feel the same way. I am always trying to think of boy names, but I really can't think of any I like too well. Whenever I pick out a name and offer it to S. she tells me the kid will get the shit beat out of him on the playground. She likes more classic names while I obviously like pansy-ass sensitive boy names. I suppose we have time to think about all this considering that we've only tried once and it didn't work. I guess all the thinking we have done about TTC makes it feel like we've been trying forever.
