		<title>BTV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   This is a 10 day sample of what it’s like to live in my head.

   If my brain were a TV channel, it would be BTV: All Babies, All The Time.  Between episodes of Deliver Me, A Baby Story, and Jon and Kate, we have infomercials for kitchen products and money-making schemes.  We also [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=92&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cross Your Toes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is my grandmother&#8217;s first chemo appointment.  She&#8217;s hopelessly scared.  She had a double-port put in last Thursday, and will be getting two different drugs today.  Hair loss is inevitable, and mouth sores and extreme nausea/vomiting are most likely.  At this point her only thought is to be well enough on Friday to go to my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=85&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Just Call Me Myrtle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I lost my shit last night.  The panic attacks are becoming more frequent.  I snapped at Paul, he snapped back, and we each retreated into our corners to work it out by ourselves.  He slammed around the kitchen and yelled at the cats for being under foot, and I locked myself in the bathroom and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=89&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Crazy is Creeping In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   For 10 months now I’ve been taking my temperature every morning upon waking.  It doesn’t get old.  In fact, it helps me wake up in the morning.  In talking to a coworker about it earlier today, she told me that when she was TTC, she only got through about a month and a half [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=83&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Women&#8217;s Studies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   As I step a little more every day into this land of infertility, I come to realize that, as fearful as I am that I will never have a (biologically-related) child of my own, I am almost equally as fearful that I will.
   Baby fever struck me early, about the time I hit puberty.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=74&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>All is Well (all things considered)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   Grammy’s surgery went well.  No surprises, and they got most or all of the brain tumor out.  We’ll know more after this afternoon’s MRI.  Fears of extreme weakness and slight temporary paralysis on her left side were shattered when she applied her own chapstick and drank hot tea just minutes after waking up, all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=72&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pantry Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   I guess I haven’t written lately.  I think I just needed time to process everything.  I kept thinking about writing, but could never muster up a coherent post while on a computer (which is to say, about 13 hours a day).
 
   The appointment with my RE went well, I think.  She upped my dosage [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=70&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>all-you-can-eat buffet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   There’s a certain art form in the all you can eat buffet.  Whether it’s Chinese or all-American, the objective is the same: load as much as you can on one plate the first trip through; pot stickers on top of rice on top of General Tso’s, next to teriyaki chicken and chicken fingers and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=68&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>This sucks.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   I started smoking when I was about 14.  The cool girls* at school** smoked, and I wanted to hang out with them.  I knew I would look stupid if I first tried it in front of them, so I stole a pack of my grandmother’s Virginia Slims Menthol 100s when she was visiting, hunkered [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=66&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wait&#8230;wait&#8230;wait&#8230;okay GO! Nah, I don&#8217;t feel like it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   Sometimes I have no patience.  Other times, what appears to be patience is actually indifference.  I’ve spent years of my life pining away for a child.  When I was 11, I started making lists of baby names that I liked.  When I was 17 and my period was late, I took not one, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tocommittomemory.wordpress.com&blog=3936030&post=64&subd=tocommittomemory&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
