How was your weekend?
What did you lovely ladies do?
2brides - how was the parade?
TWB and N2A - did you attend Pride?
We went to our local pride parade and festival. We only stayed a short time at the festival because K's aunt and her cousin and his partner were with us. It was really nice visiting with them as we haven't had family visit in about 2 years :-) Other than that I'm one week away from my beta and have no hope this cycle. I'm working 2 jobs this week so that should help the time move along.

Re: How was your weekend?
My weekend was eh. apart from Julie leaving.
My BFF took care of me. We went to see Away We Go. It was really really good, and still funny. I'd recommend it! Then we had dinner.
I've been packing slowly but surely. I'm so physically and mentally exhaused about this move that the packing is really take a toll.
Other than that, I cried, cried, cried, and cried some more. Depressing, but true.
Ok I know i said this last week but now I really am back in the swing of things and will be posting this week.
This weekend was pretty good, it rained the whole time but it was really good because T and I took sometime to talk in depth about some problems we had been having communicating and we took a time out to reconnect. We talked SOOOO MUCH, cried, made love, cuddled on the couch and I feel like we accomplished A LOT. I feel like we are finally back on the same page and I'm feeling much more secure in general. I've been an insecure mess lately and have literally been acting insane. Things feel so much better now and I feel like I'm falling in love with T all over again, its NICE!
Aside from that we worked on the kids closets getting rid of a bunch of clothes and did some grocery shopping. It was a nice low key weekend. Next weekend is Boise Pride so it will be much more eventful i'm sure lol.
We had lunch our with one of our couple friends on Saturday, then dinner that night in the city with 6 of our other friends. It was really really nice because we hadn't seen the couple, or 3 of the 6 people in months. Both meals were really good too.
Sunday was super relaxing. Went walking in the morning, then just watched movies all day.
I still don't have my period (CD 33), so I tested again on Saturday with a RiteAid brand blue dye test (normally I only get pink dye two line tests since the blue dye or + tests are apparently more apt to "fail"), and there was the faintest of faint second lines. It showed up within the timeframe, but I'm not sure if it was real or not. Normally I would say a line is a line, but for some reason this just didn't seem right. I'm going to test again tomorrow morning with a first responce to see if there is anything. ::gulp::
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD
Bloggity Blog - You know you want to...
Good Luck!!
Meegs - Fingers crossed!
Song - Glad to have you back and to hear you had a good weekend reconnecting.
Friday we watched Sex and the City the movie on our we-aren't-supposed-to-have-that Cinemax on demand.
Saturday we helped friends shop for their commitment ceremony attire then met them out with 7 other people at the new gay restaurant here.
Sunday we went for a nice walk, did some housework, went to a wedding of two women in our parent group, and met another parent group couple for Thai food after.
and we are still waiting....
Saturday a friend and I took the kids to the playground to play while Lstayed home to do nanny interviews. After the boys? nap, we went downtown for Pride. The boys godfather and his wife walked with us and we had a good time. The number of people watching the parade is always amazing and I always laugh when people are clapping and cheering for us ?They are cheering because we procreated!!? Got home at 10pm with 2 asleep kids.
Sunday we were up early (boo) and started cleaning. Then we moved to the outside. Honestly all I wanted to do was sit and do nothing ? but L had a whole list of things that she wanted /needed to get done. Sigh. After the kids got up from their nap, we had a nanny interview. Not the one. She was VERY quiet and basically said nothing the entire time. Went to Panera for dinner and then to the grocery store. By the time we got home, I was beyond exhausted and annoyingly grumpy. Of course the kids wouldn?t go to sleep at a decent hour. Thankfully, Grayson slept through the night in his OWN bed. Whoo hoo!
My weekend was nice!
Friday we went to DD's preschool graduation. Of course I cried...
Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for DW's cousin, they were 3 hours late! It was fun and we were still able to watch the fight on time.
Sunday I was roped into doing Glamour photos at MIL's house. Hoo boy! I sure looked HOT!!! Once we got home I made an apple pie to be delivered today to a coworker. Not sure how the pie turned out... It looks beautiful and delicious but it had a lot of extra juice in it.
Two Mommies Healing Hearts
Friday we had date night which was fun.
Sat I had yoga and then we ran errands. After a short rest at home we put the dresser together in the nursery which was long but I am really happy with the result. We also ordered our decals to complete the project.
Sunday S played basketball and then we went to nh for a graduation party. We also had dinner with my mil. All was nice but i ate way too much food.
This is my last full week of school. I can hardly wait to be done!
We ended up being really boring this weekend.
We ran some errands,went to the park and did some work around the house. PBS is this close to crawling so I spent most of the weekend stalking her with the flip video camera :-)
Meegs-I am crossing my fingers for a perfect pink line tomorrow and a healthy , happy, sticky baby for you.
It was a kids weekend for us and we went on our first family trip to the beach this weekend, staying at a friend's beach house in Pacific Beach. It's a quiet rundown town with a fantastic beach and NO crowds. We got lucky on the weather--no rain, and the kids had a great time. We managed to get both toddlers to sleep in separate beds in the same room for two nights without a battle...that's a major accomplishment!
DP and I have been there a few times just the two of us, and this trip just made us look forward to the next one, which is unfortunately not until September. It was fun to get away from it all for a bit...and now it's back to work and reality...SIGH. Hope everyone has a good week!
Rikki...I am counting down the days with you...it's hard for me when I don't get to see my girl for just a few! Come visit us in Seattle if you get too lonely!
Friday-- was my day off and I kicked off my yard work marathon by mowing the front lawn and edging the front walk.
Saturday-- I continued the yard work, mowing the back, edging along the sidewalk in front of the house, clearing brush and vines from the side of the house, trimming a couple of trees, and cutting two huge bushes almost all the way down. It doesn't sound like much but I was out there for almost 5 hours. I was so tired when I was done that my plans to go meet friends at the parade were scrapped in favor of a shower and dinner out with my wife. It was two-for-one margarita night, so I had my obligatory post-BFN drink...s.
Sunday-- Just the usual, plus some house cleaning. We also finally got the boxes of Christmas ornaments put up in the attic. Not the tree, yet, but we're getting there!
To answer your question, Two*, nope, no pride activities for us this year. I told Sylvia they are going to come repossess our toaster.
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
The weekend was good...I did not do any work on my dissertation!
On Friday, I came home to a wonderfully manicured lawn! Sad part was that Christine was so inspired I lost her most of Saturday to yard work. I spent the day doing laundry and household chores. (Most people would guess that it would be the opposite, Christine inside and me outside...I am so GLAD she loves yard work!)
Sunday couldn't have been any better because LA dominated Orlando. Yes, I am a Lakers' fan (have been since grade school)!
(BTW--While I was out and about today the LGBT squad called and requested the toaster back! LOL)
i'm so behind on posts between being crazy at work and visiting my wife's parents (no cell service and i try not to use their computer too much).
our weekend was fun, although i've been sick. we went to visit with my wife's parents for the weekend and an early father's day celebration. there's a long post about it on my blog, but we had a really great visit. their relationship with her (and their relationship with me) has gotten so much better over the last year or so i can't even say. it makes me a very, very happy woman.
pride stuff here is coming up this weekend, and it is the entire weekend. there are things all weekend long, with a festival in a park all evening on friday and all day saturday with two stages and lots of booths, the rally and march early saturday afternoon (starts at the statehouse and ends at the park), and tons of things at other venues as well--and sunday afternoon is the drag queen softball game. yes. softball in drag. it is an awesome sight to behold. you know you're jealous.
I have had a crazy 9 days - flew to Oregon for my sister's graduation on the 5th, flew back home on the 10th, worked for two days, ran divorce clinic on Thursday night, celebrated our 5th anniversary on Friday night, and then I flew to Wichita on Saturday and back here on Sunday. Almost all of my flights were screwed up one way or another and all told I've been to 8 airports (two of them twice, so 10 really) in the last 9 days. Back to work, another session of divorce clinic on Thursday and then come THIS Saturday I can relax for a minute!
So the actual weekend - we both had bad days at work on Friday (me = stressful meeting, her = well, she's HR, so say no more), so we scrapped our somewhat complicated plans and just went to our favorite restaurant instead, drank sangria, had lovely tapas, and laughed and talked about where we've been and where we're going, how the first 5 years met, exceeded or fell short of our expectations in different areas, and what's coming around the corner. So that was really nice. We got cupcakes on the way home and then took the dogs to the park and just sat in the grass - the weather was so nice - and it was just nice. Saturday and Sunday I was in Wichita visiting two of my closest friends from high school (a guy and a girl, both married to other people). They've both had kids in the last year and a half, and I had never met the kids and they hadn't met each other's kids so we all met up in Wichita for baby meet-and-greet
They clearly love being parents, they're good parents, the babies are great. But I felt weird and left out. I'm OK with the fact that we aren't trying yet - we're really enjoying post-law-school married life and we're doing things that are important to us, like racing (triathlons and running) and traveling and building up an emergency fund and all that good jazz. But being around people that I've always been so close to and seeing them with their kids just made me feel so - I don't know, alone, and deficient somehow. I think it would have helped a lot if Jen had been there. And then I felt bad that I was feeling anything but total joy for them, and I was trying to hide how out of it I felt but I'm really bad at faking things, so I don't know if they could tell or what. Anyway, it WAS great to see them, and to see their babies, and see how happy they are. I just wish I could manage to not be such a mess sometime
