Good Things Thursday
We didn't do this already, did we? Name three good things going on in your life right now, no matter how trivial.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: Good Things Thursday
1. Had my IUI yesterday and now I'm in the 2WW, I'm feeling as if the glass is half full.
2. I'm loving the fall weather right now.
3. One of my cousins is coming for dinner on Saturday night; looking forward to seeing her and hopefully cheering her up a bit (she recently broke up with her boyfriend and isn't taking it to well).
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
1. I have a beautiful daughter that is growing up so fast. She is so much like me it is scary--definitely a chatty Cathy.
2. I have a job that allows me to be flexible and that while it can be crazy making is a good job and I am gald to have it.
3. My latte I made this morning. Amazing.
Sending you good vibes. I had mine on Saturday. I hope the 2ww goes by fast for the both of us!
1. It's my friday!! AND next week is a short week. YAY!!
2. Hubby is taking a few things OFF my to-do list
3. I got a call about a side job for next year, this makes me a little less anxious about dropping to one income.
GOOD LUCK!! I have my fingers crossed for you!
Good luck to you as well!! Lots of sticky vibes!
1. We're going to the pumpkin patch on Saturday, and I'm kind of excited. We have a really cute Halloween shirt S is wearing, and I am bringing my camera fully charged. With the beautiful weather, I have a feeling it's going to be a great day.
2. I've felt hopeful for J and my future together for the first time in a long time this week. We've been making an effort to sit and talk to each other and do some snuggling before we fall asleep at night. It's the little things we've missed so much and it feels like we're headed on the right track to fixing things.
3. Next Tuesday is my last day at a very annoying client's office. They've been so needy that I've had to go to their site twice a week since July, so I've been essentially working 3 jobs. I've been burnt out for a while, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm so excited!
Thank you both! And abvernon - sending you sticky vibes as well.

1. My husband is home, and I love it. He has two business trips planned between now and Thanksgiving, each a week-long, but he'll be here the rest of the time (and probably most of December), and that makes me really happy.
2. I heard from a grad school friend yesterday who I haven't talked to in months. She's one of those friends who you can go months without talking and when you finally chat again, it's like there was no break at all. Anyway, just talking to her yesterday was awesome. Then she gave me the good news that she and her boyfriend of 8 1/2 years (!!) are engaged AND they're moving back to the Bay Area because he got a really great job offer here. SO excited.
3. I got some tulip and daffodil bulbs the other day (for the first time ever) and I'm excited to plant those next month and see pretty flowers come spring.
leolyns & abvernon - I'm crossing my fingers for you!
lolopanda - yay for an encouraging update! I hope things will get better for the both of you!
My 3 good things today:
- I'm slowly getting more excited about our upcoming vacation to Florida.
- I've read a few gardening posts from another site and decided to try something. I cooked a meal with some green onions last week. Instead of discarding the white parts, I just sticked them into the soil, and they have indeed grown back since then.
- I can't wait to plant my spring bulbs.
1. The direct deposit FINALLY went thru at work so no more annoying Friday afternoon trips to the bank! (It's the small things, right?!?)
2. I have started a small cookie business on the side, and my first clients want an order for the weekend. Should be a re-occuring order, too.
3. I get to go to Apple Hill for the second time this season this Sunday! Can't wait for come apple wine and donuts!!
I'm thinking good thoughts for both of you!!!!
Even better, you can just stick them in a jar of water and they'll regrow 2-3 times. If they regrow more often in soil maybe that's better, but the convenience of growing them hydroponically is great for me.
I love doing this because I don't need scallions all that often but when I do I rarely seem to have them on hand. Haven't had a problem with this since I started regrowing them!
So the idea is, cut and use the green parts, then stick the wine parts (with roots, etc.) in the ground or in water, and they'll regrew their tops? This is way cool! I'll have to try it.
1) I am finally feeling better since getting sick at Disneyland.
2) DH is bringing me home a pumpkin spiced latte.
3) I have a book coming that should be here today or tomorrow.

1. This week I was cast as the soprano lead in "Pirates of Penzance" with a theater group at Stanford! It's a hard role and it's going to be a lot of work, but I'm really excited.
2. Wednesdays are normally sucky, but yesterday I didn't want to kill myself or any students when my teaching day was over. I consider that a victory.
3. Every day is that much closer to Christmas!

Thinking really good thoughts for both of you!

Congratulations! What good news.

sm23 - yes, that's the idea
Rock-n-Voll - that's my problem too! I don't use scallions often, but whenever I need some, I have none in the fridge. I read they will only regrow once or twice in the soil, so I definitely need to try your method and compare.
yes!! me too!
xoxo
Cool! I actually use scallions all the time, so it'd be awesome to be able to regrow my own instead of buying them constantly.

Wow, everybody has such good news today. I love it!
Mine:
1. I love my job again! Earlier this year I was so miserable I was ready to quit. But a new boss and a bunch of restrictions lifted and I feel like I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing and should be doing. I haven't been this happy about my job in years.
2. We rearranged the furniture and finally (after 10 months) found a way to make it all work. Now I can buy a dining room table!
3. I'm so jazzed after our Habitat volunteer meeting yesterday. There were so many heartwarming stories being told around the table that I wanted to cry.
I'm late to the party... but I feel like I'm riding on a very positive cloud this morning, so I'll throw my three in!
1) I'll be running the Nike Women's (Half) Marathon on Sunday. I'm feeling really, really good about all my efforts over the last 5 months to train for this. I may not have lost as much weight as I had hoped... but I feel healthier, I'm definitely stronger, and I think I've at least toned up.
2) A year ago, I was at a very painful, difficult time in my life. I had little hope about certain things in my future, and was feeling extremely depressed. But, a year later, it's amazing how different things are! I'm feeling very hopeful and positive, and the circumstances have improved drastically -- thanks to a lot of hard work and stick-to-it-iveness.
3) DH and I have decided to start TTC again, and we're right in the middle of our first cycle since getting back on that saddle. I'm glad we put it off for awhile (even though at the time, I had a really rough time with it), because so much in our lives is so much better now for bringing a baby into our lives than it was when we were trying two years ago.
Congrats to everyone on all your happy stuff. Glad for you all!
Mine are: 1. I photographed my first wedding last weekend and am overall pretty happy with how it went. The bride cried and was super happy when I showed her a few sample shots, so that's encouraging!
2. I got a stress fracture in my foot a month ago that has kept me from running or working out much at all, but I think it's feeling better now and I can finally get moving again.
3. C is aaaaalmost to the halfway mark of his deployment. That much closer to being back home in our normal lives together!
