My dad used to play it in the car when we were younger and I'm pretty sure we screeched, "TURN THAT OFF!" Hahaha! Don't think I'll be parodying that any time soon. But I love the suggestion. :DStephanie @ Blessed to Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432625948200484509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-5281234749053591412014-04-23T21:47:56.077-05:002014-04-23T21:47:56.077-05:00This is fabulous!

Have you ever thought about doing a parody of the comedy Prairie Home Companion by Garrison Keillor called the Infertility Home Companion by Stephanie? lol If you don't know what I am talking about with Garrison Keillor then look it up using the mighty Google. It is very silly and I think right up your ally of humor! Keep up the joy! Now here is what I would add:<br /><br />Well no resume would be complete without another section called "languages": and then we should all put "Infertilitish" - A new language invented for the trial of infertility. It consists of english mixed with a crazy dose of acronyms related to infertility such as but not limited to CD, AF, LUFS, TTC, BFP, CM, ENDO, FSH, HSG, RE, RI, LH, SA, PNV, SHG, PCOS or PCOD or PCO, 2WW, FFTA and my all time favorite IFGG. Ha! And you thought twitter lingo was hard to master #beatthattwitter #Infertilitish !

And then I can get home rather quickly to sleep it off. But man, an 8 hour shift while your body is going wild on new meds... I don't know how I'd do that!

Boom! Totally embracing that "insult" from now on. :)<br /><br />Your additions are so perfect!! Yes to both of them. While I've never had to cry in a stall facing parallel to the floor, I'm totally using it on my bad days from now on.

So creative and so right-on, while adding some much needed humor to our days :) Thanks for writing. <br /><br />What I would add is "Knows how to awkwardly side-step conversations/symptoms/effects of new meds with co-workers, in addition to learning how to cry in a bathroom stall with face parallel to the floor so that tears don't streak down your face." Depressing, I know. But a real skill, and kind of a ridiculous visual. <br /><br />P.S. Can't tell you how many times I've been called a 'Crazy Catholic'...never gets old!!! :)MamaHolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246015208551792427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-11445344761968554142014-04-23T09:53:30.361-05:002014-04-23T09:53:30.361-05:00Heehee, this made me chuckle.
