I'm sorry that I'm a little late in doing this, please forgive me. If you are here because of ICLW week, welcome to my blog. If you would like to know how I came upon being 'in the middle' you can find our IF journey here.
There are some things you should know about me:
1) I love musicals - Its hard to pick a favorite. Right now its a tie between The Sound of Music and Sweeney Todd. Sweeney Todd is winning as I have this soundtrack on my iPod.
2) I'm a night person. I love staying up late, I just hate what it does to me the next morning.
3) I have naturally curly hair, but I straighten it with my beloved Con-Air 2-in-1 Wet 'n Dry Straightener. It was the best $20 I spent at Target.
4) I'm a major coffee addict and an emotional coffee drinker. I will brew a pot if I'm feeling sad just to warm me and cheer me up. Umm its soo good, but maybe not for my kidneys.
5) My cat Jack has 3 namesakes - Jack Bristow from Alias, Jack Bauer from 24, Jack Malone from Without a Trace.
6) I'm probably the only woman my age (32 and 363 days) that loves her birthday. Its the only day I have a valid excuse to be the center of attention and not look like a complete...well you know.
7) I know the entire movie Sixteen Candles by heart.
I'm looking forward to meeting new people. In the comments please leave me some things I should know about you :)

I wish that I emotionally drank coffee instead of what I do. Yesterday I emotionally bought ice cream. Three different kinds then I made brownies. How I do not weight 200lbs is beyond me.
I am a first timer to ICLW and as I read your post I realized that we have a fair bit in common: I am a total night owl (but tend to do it only when my husband is away and then suffer the next day at work); I have curly hair too, but it would take me forever to straighten; I drink way too much coffee (Tim Horton's) and usually switch to decaf during my fertility treatments and go back to drinking full force during my off cycles; and one of my favourite comedies is SIXTEEN CANDLES - My favourite scene is when the family is leaving to go to the wedding and Long Duck Dong was passed out in front...Classic scene!
When I read your TTC history, I too have taken Clomid (hated it) and we are currently waiting to start our 3rd IUI attempt with injectibles. We have been trying for almost 2 years - have had 3 miscarriages and not quite ready to take the leap to IVF or adoption. Wish you all the best.
First time visitor for ICLW here. . . .
Like you, I have curly hair (though I am too lazy to straighten it most days, lol), love my birthday and know Sixteen Candles by heart. And I used to love coffee but have now given it up entirely in my TTC quest.
Happy Birthday!!! We love Jack Bauer, too. I think it is great that he is one of your cat's namesakes.

HI! Happy ICLW. SO glad I found you (are you laughing?)
I adore Sweeney Todd. Do you know Into The Woods...that is another fave of mine!

I'm going to have to take a peak at that straightener. I think mine is on the fritz!

First time ICLW-er here!
I too am a night owl & excessive coffee drinker! My DH & I have been TTC w/unexplained IF for over 2 years now. I had one m/c after our first turkey basting (IUI) last year...but that was then followed by 3 failed IUIs. Our next step is injectibles/turkey basting...we're currently back to TTC naturally so we can save up money for the new drugs and not break the bank. ;) I'm hoping/praying/wishing/sacrificing virgin chickens for a natural BFP during our 'wait'.
Glad to make your acquaintance!

Happy ICLW!
I also have naturally curly hair, but I wear it curly and follow the curly girl method. I have only straightened my hair once.
Also a BIG fan of 16 candles... and anything from that era!
Love this post. I have naturally wavy/curly hair, too. Like Patience, I follow the curly girl method (check out www.naturallycurly.com to learn more). I just found that community recently and have stopped straightening my hair.
Happy ICLW!

I love musicals too, and I also have curly hair. I don't have the patience to straighten it though. My current favorite musical is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It stars Neil Patrick Harris! I also love Glee!
