My first post!

This post will be a little bit of an introduction to me and my blog, or at least what I hope it will be.
 Let me start by saying I am by no means a "writer" my wife (yes, I'm a lesbian) would tell you I write as if I am talking to someone. But I try and sometime in life that is all we can do, however if my sister-in-law ever comes across this blog I'm sure she will hang her head in shame.(she's an English teacher)

 First up the title of my blog, just in case it has you wondering?!?

So what is a Tuna???- A tuna is a term I like to use for someone or thing that is "dumb". This term as you will find out is not used in a mean way, but more as a was of preventing myself from becoming more angry then might be needed.

Other made up words I will use:
Tunaism- I use this word to describe things "Tunas" do.
Tuna day- A day where I myself or someone else who normally isn't labeled a tuna is having a day where they feel so dumb or off that they mind as well be a tuna.  

Right now this isn't making sense to you but soon enough it will and trust me it catches on. Before you know it you will be pointing out the Tunas in your life and all their tunaisms.

So how did I come up with the term Tuna?
Well First let me give you a little back round to the story. In August 2008 my wife(partner at the time) and I decided to try and have a baby and I would be the one to carry. So we told both of our families that we were going on this journey and that we didn't want to openly speak of it. When and if we wanted to talk about we would, they all agreed to respect this.
   Well I work with my mother (or did, she just became a retiree on 12/29/11) and at the time we were driving to work together. We lived a few blocks away from each other and so I would pick her up everyday and drive her to work (many funny stories will come from these past car rides). Given that fact that I am a "mommies girl" I would often talk to her about my fears and worries throughout my treatment. So about 6 months or so into treatment I had a few cysts(this is common when using the medication used) so I was telling her about that situation and how I was upset since it was delaying us moving forward with our next IUI. She then said (mind you she totally said this with a straight face and meant it) "well maybe the cysts will turn into a baby". Gripping the steering wheel I replied "WOW MOM YOU ARE SERIOUSLY SUCH A TUNA" and from that day forward I have referred to my mother as a tuna. I call her CT = CathyTuna
It wasn't until after that day I realized I come from a long line of tunas and I don't know how I survived or turned out as well as I did.
  
Never in a million years did I ever think I would be writing a blog. But I figured why not, I love talking and telling stories and everyone always says I should write a book with all my stories. So I figures I could use this as a healthy outlet to life. So welcome and enjoy I look forward to sharing my life with you and can't wait to get your feedback.
