Positives
So I'm having a pretty good morning. The sun is shining and it's supposed to be 38 degrees today (mild for WI winter). My temp has been up for two days (but my cm has been all over the place) so I'm hoping I finally ovulated and am closer to this cycle coming to an end so I can finally move forward. I can't believe it has been a month today that I found out.
Lets hear some more positive things....

Re: Positives
I am loving this warm WI weather!
I have no idea what lit a fire under my butt today. I picked up the bathroom, cleaned the toilet & sink, put dinner in the crock pot, and got all the garbage & recycling out before leaving for work this morning.
Once at work I printed & put together the corporate cup packets for my team, finished several ads and now just waiting for photos to be scanned.
Oh and I still have high score in bowling for all the women in our league
)
It's been so warm here that the daffodils are blooming. They think it's spring. Fine by me!
We're taking a 3-day weekend and heading to the mountains with friends this weekend. Super excited.
P.S. Kelly- I thought of another idea for your happy playlist. Florence and the Machine. "The Dog Days Are Over" and "Shake It Out" are great happy songs.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I'm feeling really good about my diet changes and that fact that I've been going to the gym 4 times per week for 4 weeks straight now...I few more weeks and I'm going to try and bump it up to 5 days a week.
Today was the first time someone told me that I looked like I had lost weight and it felt really good because I have lost weight and inches and was beginning to feel like I was the only person who was noticing. It was just what I needed to keep my motivation up.
I can't stop making things off of Pinterest and I don't even care...Hi, my name is Vanessa and I am a Pinterest whore.
Oh really? can you tell me more about this?
I have several old textbooks but I never thought I could sell them because they're older editions. But I would love to unload them and to have some extra cash!
They say it takes 4 weeks for you to notice and 8-12 for other people... so dont get discouraged yet!
I finally have time to get to the gym and I feel SO much better. Working out is actually giving me more energy.
Charlie has STTN for the past 2 nights!!!
We're leaving for mini vacay in three days!
My dad's truck got broken into a few months ago and they stole his hunting knife which he has had since he was 14 years old. It wasn't worth much but the sentimental value of it is irreplaceable. Last night, Andy found it on CraigsList!
I'm almost done with week 6 of my workout schedule! This is the longest I've had a work out schedule in 8 years. I feel great and I havent had any episodes with my heart at all.
I actually have that pinned on my Motivation board on Pinterest; I look at it every day! I just have to remind myself that it's a process, but one that will be totally worth it in the end.
Mine are almost 5 years old, I didn't think I'd get much for them either, but many had average selling prices for $30-$60. So I listed over 30 books yesterday. It's easy, you just put in the ISBN #s, what kind of condition they are in, and it will tell you an average price, price it last sold for, etc. You put in the price you want (I went uber low on everything - I'd rather get some money and get rid of it then hold out for a lot of money). They notify you when somone bought it! Then you ship it, they reimburse you an "average" amount for shipping media mail. You get paid 2x/month.
If they are older editions, you might not get very much for them. But it's worth putting it in and see!
I used to sell textbooks on half.com too and always made decent money that way. That's how I survived between graduating nursing school and getting my first pay check 3 months later, LOL.
My positive: we're going out to a fancy steak dinner tonight for our early Valentine's Day date. And DH will probably get lucky afterwards ;-)
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
One of my articles got picked up by msnbc yesterday! Then another article has been on AOL's front page 2 days in a row! And I got offered an interview for it! (But I'm unable to do the interview because I'll be having blood work done...boo. But really, this is a blessing in disguise, because I don't think I would do well in an interview.) And Dusty is coming home a day early!
I'm having a very good week.
Thanks!
All of your stuff is totally awesome, too! I'm super jealous of the tuition thing, that's amazing!
I piggybacked on Ames' trip to Ulta, and now I have OPI Holland nail polish coming to me, and that makes me happy.

Jealous......
Stand up for something you believe in.
Agreed, that is awesome all around, definitely about the articles. I go on msnbc.com periodically during the day, can you tell me what the article is about? Maybe I've seen it!
Thanks! I don't want to post it (just so Google searches don't direct here) but I'll PM it to you!
Holy crapola, that's fantastic!!! Congrats!
Thanks!!
