Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.

My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.

Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"

Just to Get it Over With

I haven't wanted to write so now I find I'm doing it
just to get it over with.
I haven't wanted to converse so I fill the air with useless words
just to get it over with.
I haven't wanted to be awake, but I pry my eyelids open with endless
supplies of dark, hot liquid
just to get it over with.

I said what I'd memorized and read what I wrote
I find now I'm happy
just to get it over with.
I said a few words, or mumbled . . . more like
I mushed 'em together as they fell from my mouth
just to get it over with.
I said so little tonight in some ways
I wonder if it was worth it
just to get it over with.
I said so much tonight
I barely recall what I did
just to get it over with.

I wish you would lean in
all close-like for a moment

so you would find
all I need to say

I wish you were seeing
all of what's inside of my head

just to get it over with.
