Dear John - Official Trailer

I LOVED this book! It is my second favorite Nicholas Sparks book and now it is a movie! I just REALLY hope I'm not disappointed with this movie adaptation as I was with "Nights in Rodanthe". So far, I think it looks pretty good. Though, no movie is ever as good as the book from which it was derived :)

Are You Kidding Me?

So I chose to watch the last 20 minutes of the Tyra Banks Show while folding the laundry today b/c the topic caught my interest. Today's show was on infertility. From what I gather, she had a specialist on the show answering questions and speaking to the audience about common issues and potential solutions for specific situations. This was pretty standard - nothing I haven't heard before (multiple times). What caught me off guard was her next guest - the founder of Conceive Magazine. First of all, I didn't even know there was such a thing! Secondly, she was there to speak on behalf of and shamelessly promote her new book:
Oh yes - you ARE reading that correctly! This book contains information on what foods will and will not affect your ability to conceive a child! She gave specific examples:

Which is the better choice for conception?

1. BLT or turkey burger? Turkey burger.
2. chocolate cheesecake or angel food cake? cheesecake.
3. steak/potato or pasta with asparagus? pasta.
4. pancakes or muffins? pancakes.

Every single choice she made has been the exact same choice I've made over the last 4 years - but did it help my chances of conceiving??? clearly not! I don't know if this lady and her "theories" are totally bogus? Or if my body is just that screwed up that it doesn't respond naturally the way it is designed to.

I should never have watched this show b/c it just sent me straight back to all those familiar feelings that infertility has brought on me over the years. Oh well, can't take it back now. For today, it's one step forward, two steps back.
