Ouch!
It's time to share this week's Top 5 Cutting Remarks
#5 Top Cutting Remark of the Week
A newspaper article about the travel trend being called the "babymoon" that went something like this: "Once the territory of honeymooners, empty-nesters and those otherwise unencumbered by little ones, tropical travel destinations are finding a new - unexpected - market: expectant parents."
Me: "The one thing we infertiles had was the ability to follow our wanderlust at will. Now the breeders want to claim that, too."
#4 Top Cutting Remark of the Week
Hubby's Coworker to me: "I hear you guys had a great trip to Spain. You know, you wouldn't be able to go places like that if you'd decided to have kids."
Me: "Um, yeah."
#3 Top Cutting Remark of the Week
Hubby to sister-in-law (visiting from their new home out of state): "Now that you're settled into your new house, are you giving any thought to having kids?"
Sister-in-law: "Are you kidding? I'm 40 now. It's much too late for that!"
#2 Top Cutting Remark of the Week:
Hubby to me: "So what are you getting me for Father's Day?"
Me: (Silence accompanied by glaring look)
Hubby: Oh…sorry.
And the #1 Top Cutting Remark of the Week:
Hubby: "We really should have tried 10 years ago."
Happy father's day, ya know?

Not just talking to myself!
OMG, I have readers!
When I started this blog, I didn't do much to get other people to read it. Therefore, I didn't think anyone was really out there reading. Thinking I was only talking to myself, I felt unmotivated to post very often.
I just cleaned out my cookies, and came over to my blog to discover...someone has been reading after all!
To Patricia, Avonlea, Donna, Inspring - I'm sorry I never acknowledged any of your comments. I just today discovered them on my blog. I will catch up to each of you eventually, once I stop by your own blogs to learn a little about each of you.
And now, I think I'll start posting more, now that I know I'm not just talking to myself!
