5) I am supposed to be baking treats, but a nap sounds way better so I am doing that.
6) I am almost out of HP pumpkin juice and it makes me sad!
7) The scar on my ankle isn't as prominent as it used to be, and it makes me sad! I love my scars!

There is still a small chance but it was going to cost us close to $500 for everything which isn't bad but that money could definitely be used much wiser elsewhere so we have mixed feelings.

I think it's Tuesday. Regardless, I'm bored, so here ya go:
1. 2ww sucks.
2. I can't wait to get the heater my facilities guy promised me a few weeks ago!
3. I started this about 15 minutes ago and then got distracted by actual work.
4. I keep thinking about how I haven't been on GP long, but can't wait to develop some of the relationships you ladies have. You have/are such a great support system!
5. Tuesday is my least favorite day of the week. The only thing I like abut Tuesday is Face Off.
6. I've said, "I'll do that tomorrow." about the same thing on my to-do list since last Thursday.
7. I think if you do something shitty, you should just apologize instead of trying to justify your shitty actions.
8. H wants to go out to dinner tonight before we go food shopping. I don't want to, but I don't feel like cooking either, so I guess we're going out.
9. Moving to a new state AND changing your name is a huge pain in the ass.
10. I'm pissed that my photographer STILL hasn't sent us pictures. She said three weeks ago they should be up by that weekend. Then said the same thing again last week about this past weekend. She's a personal friend and an awesome person in general, and I know she's really busy, but it's been six weeks and I want my wedding pictures, dammit!
2. I am not being very productive today. Meh.
3. I'm obsessed with our french press and drinking all the coffee.
4. I am excited about my house guest this weekend. Internet friends are the best. I hope she is ready for animal hair on all of her clothes.
5. The government shutdown can fuck right off. Damn the man.
6. There is a job opening at work that somebody wants me to take, but it would be supervising hourly employees and I couldn't come and go as I please, so I am going to pass.
7. Every time I see my homemade seahorse badge it makes me smile.
8. Cat gifs all day every day.
9. I've had a pair of jeans that need hemming for like 6 months. Today is the day I finally take them in. Maybe.
10. I want to hire somebody to clean my house, but one of my dogs will act a fool the whole time.

1. I love my 'corner' office, but the sun beats down on me all day, and it becomes more sweat lodge than office. Which you would think would be awesome, because I love fresh air, so I can just open my window, right? Yes, but it seems the most popular smoking spot is just under my window. The gossip overheard is far outweighed by the fact that it smells like I've been chain smoking in here.
2. I feel like that was worth 3 things.
3. I have a (much faded) scar on my ankle, also, @BruinsBabe33! It was from a pretty nasty rug burn, from my 18th birthday. It looked like I might need a skin graft for a bit. Yes, rug burn on my ankle. Your imagination is probably more fun than the real story.
4. I probably say this every week, but reviewing the background checks on applicants is one of my favorite parts of my job. I'm fairly certain this makes me a horrible person.
5. H and I are meeting with the builder again tonight. We picked up the preliminary plans of the house, and are meeting to discuss a couple of changes. I think we're officially as far into this process as we can get before we sign a contract. So it's about to get real. And definite.
6. I'm really thirsty, but my water is across the room.
7. I should change my calendars to October.
8. I could use a nap right now.
9. I had a dream last night that I was in line at a store behind my HS boyfriend's sister and mother. They were flipping out at me for breaking his heart. Granted, I did, but that was over 15 years ago, and he is happily married, and has been for years. I have no idea where that came from.
10. HS was seriously over 15 years ago?
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!

2. I have 2 classes starting this weekend and I am stressed trying to figure out when I will have time to do them.
3. DH started a new job and has been working late. I don't like it.
4. My house smells like pumpkin spice right now. I may not like the taste but I sure do love the smell!
5. I can't wait to get the Halloween decorations out!
6. I have so many projects to do and I just want to forget the housework and sew, craft and scrapbook!
7. I am trying to do all the laundry and get it put away today.
8. We are trying a honey Dijon crockpot recipe for dinner tonight. I don't know what to make with it. Hmmmm.
9. We need to go grocery shopping.
10. Time to change the calendar over. September went so fast!
