Muckety Muck!

Ahhh, the wonders of the Fijian Islands are vast and ready to be experienced by Alesha.  This weeks topic is wallowing like a pig in mud - black mud.  One of the items on the list of things to do in Fiji is getting a mud bath while on the Viti Levu island. The Sabeto Mud Pool is located in the shadow of The Sleeping Giant, a mountain range which can be seen everywhere in Nadi. This mud pool is between the major cities Nadi and Lautoka.  The process, and I am finding that it is always a process in Fiji, goes something like the following -
After you pay a small admission fee to Sabeto villagers you enter one of the geothermal mud pools. You then soak for an hour or so in the warm black mud which is rumored to have therapeutic benefits. (Concern- do you get mud in your...privates? Hmm..) Once you have finished luxuriating  in the mud like Miss Piggy you climb out and coat yourself in the thick pasty paste.  You stand in the sun to let it dry - in like a head to toe (minus your who-ha) mud pack. Then it is back in to a clean warm pool to wash off the healthy muck.  Can you say body facial ladies & gentlemen? 

Did I mention that they serve the lickey also known as alcoholic beverages?  So you get the benefits of being a kid playing in the mud while also having the advantage of being an adult of legal drinking age to enhance the experience.  Yay Grown Ups!


I am not pregnant today.  I have not done anything to be pregnant today except to pray to God to be pregnant soon... but I think God will help me after I help myself a bit - to some sperm.  Can you say fast healthy swimmers?


Peace, blessings, and pregnancy.

And in the Beginning...aka Today.

I am lying here in the bed at 5:30am not pregnant.  It is enough to make me howl with tears and want to take a header into the Potomac. Why do plans not work when you really need them to work? Was it not a good plan? I will spell it out so that you can be the judge -

Find a willing sperm donor.
Have him give me the goods while I am ovulating...(whenever that fucking magic day with rainbows occurs.)
Let the little spermies soak into my womb seeking to pop lock into my lone Stella like egg.
Voila pregnant in 2010 before December & my 39th birthday!
Delivery of my new bundle of love & heartache before Summer 2011.
Between breastfeeding, strict diet, and exercise be swimsuit ready by October 2011.
November would be packed with shopping, visiting relatives, writing baby instructions, making sure my child is secure in the college dorm, finding the dog a place to squat while I am away, and finalizing plans for my two week love romp on the Fijian Islands!
Waking up on my Fortieth Birthday in Fiji!


But what happens - no pop lock into my Stella...not pregnant - again.  But hey it is only August so I need to ramp it up and get some medical help before the end of the month so I can try to get my egg & some young healthy sperm to do the damn Cha Cha Slide! Hands on your knees, hands on your knees - turn it out!

So until the next time wish me pregnant and Fiji and I'll do the same for you!
