2. It was freezing this morning.
3. I love that I can wear a sweater, pants and a little scarf to work now.
4. DH and I had a long talk last night about TTC, doctors, testing and ovulation. This is the first time we have thrown everything on the table.
5. I am so tired, I wish I could go home and snuggle in a blanket.
6. My lower back hurts so much today from the cold that it is uncomfortable to sit in my work chair.
7. I brought homemade meatballs for lunch today. Mmmm
8. I'll probably be having meatballs for dinner again tonight because I made too many.
9. After my cat escaped out of the house this weekend I find myself taking a pet count every time I leave my house.
10. It's only TUESDAY! UGGHHH
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~

2. The dogs were terrible last night and didn't sleep. I am exhausted now.
3. I think Starbucks might be calling my name.
4. It is so humid and hot already this morning.
5. I'm still frantically trying to clean my house and finish with my fall decorating before my ILs come in town.
6. I'm nautical again today.
7. I'm thinking about making some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins this week.
8. I hope that I can get my table done for my craft room, so it will actually be usable over a year after we moved in.
9. Zumba kicked my butt last night and my legs are so sore.
10. I'll be using power tools are work tonight, and I'm really excited!
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
1.I'm working in our 2nd office today because the internet is down in the first. I would rather be working from home so I could light pumpkin candles and put up fall decorations.
2.Our city meeting is tonight, and I'm excited about what things are on the agenda.
3. I'm really nervous about our marathon relay race on Sunday.
4. During my leg of the race, I'm going to blare Christian music on my Ipod and likely cry the whole way, but I'm perfectly content with it.
5. I promised H I won't drink during this 2WW. It's only been 2 days, and I'm already wanting some wine.
6. My arms are sore from helping MIL move logs at her house last night.
7. H made me an apple martini last Friday and it was amazing!
8. All of my travel mugs were dirty this morning, so I'm using H's car part one. Pumpkin Spice coffee out of a "Royal Purple Synthetic Oil" mug.
9. Said coffee is almost gone. Now I can't decide on what kind to make in the Keurig.
10. It is really not fun working out of this 2nd office. There are only a few people here, but they aren't social. It's boring.

2) I'm going to the fair Friday and am so excited for all the yummy goodness.
3) I'm just not feeling work at all this week.
4) I got a pumpkin iced coffee from DD yesterday and it sucked; I was so disappointed.
5) Im so excited that all the fall shows are starting back up.
6) My birthday is Saturday!
7) I'm so hungry today.
8) I don't have the attention span to watch movies anymore.
9) I really want to buy some new yarn so I can crochet myself a new scarf.
10) I still find myself looking at my wedding ring set as often now as I did right after we got married
1. I am beyond irritated with my thermometers this week. I bought a new one because I figured my old one was dead, but the new one sucks so DH is getting me a new battery for the old one
2. I am way to excited about trying out the OPK next week.
3. According to FF, Im due to O the morning of DH's hernia surgery and hes not too thrilled about BD before we leave for the hospital, but he knows we need to. But if I O later than that day then this months chances of a BFP are almost a 0%
4. I like that the weather is cooling down but I am too lazy to pull out my sweaters yet so Im wearing sweat jacket over my dress clothes
5. I also like that with the weather cooling down my bulldog likes to lay on the couch with me again. Shes only affectionate on her terms and cold weather is one of them
6. Just found out that I dont get to get a new phone in November like I thought. Now I have to wait until March! FWP
7. My BFF works in the Navy Ship Yard in DC and I was terrified all day because they brought 4 victims to his clinic yesterday so he was really really close the all the action
8. I feel like a crappy friend becuase I didnt text BFF's wife to see how she was holding up. I didnt want her to get even more upset but i totally should have just to show my support
9. I really really want a pair of light brown riding boots for the fall
10. I wish I could put cute outfits together without looking like I tried too hard or repeating the outfits constantly.
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
2. Alan has the day off today, he's going to make me do errands and I will whine about hating shopping.
3. Bruins Season Tickets got here today. I am super stoked about it.
4. Because of work I won't be making it to many games, but still hockey season is among us woo!
5. I'm pretty sure Drew is sleeping with Manwella (or however you spell it) one of the PIR models...
6. I have so many things to do, but I lack motivation.
7. My legs are super hairy and I don't care anymore.
8. Zdeno Chara will be taking the boats again, but Alan has switched divisions an I can't stalk him as much now. I guess I will just have to wait outside of his house like before...
9. I'm kidding about the last part of number 8.
10. I leave the golden snitch ornament that @frizby made me all year round because I love it so much!

2. I've thought about dropping out of grad school. I won't, because I'm almost done, but it's so tempting when I hate waking up every day.

4. We are getting our bathroom remodeled right now and I'm anxious to see how it'll turn out.

Completely agree!
This is probably a FFC, but I DVR it so I can watch it before bed every night.

2. Silver lining to #1 is that we get to start another medicated cycle again.
3. We're going to Mexican for dinner tonight and I can't wait!!
4. The weather needs to commit- either stay in the 80's or give me fall.
5. I am ridiculously bloated from the Provera.
6. Mushy moment- although I'm still fairly new here I am so thankful for you ladies and all your support!
7. I hate Tuesdays.
8. I was in Victoria's Secret Thursday and the couple behind me was fighting about needing to get a 4 door car. I kept thinking that I wish I could be fighting with Mr over that.
9. We have to replace our kitchen window and I am not excited about the unexpected expense.
10. I really want to go to Starbucks for a latte. Weird because I rarely drink coffee.

Just kidding. If I can be friends with @ecinereb being a 'nucks fan, anything is possible! :-)
Speaking of the 'nucks, first preseason game didn't go well? Who was in net? We had Johnson play first and he let the first shot he faced in, but apparently Subban had a pretty great night! I wish I could have actually seen the game :-(

1. I'm really glad the Steelers aren't doing well this year. I think many Steelers' fans are too cocky.
2. However, I wish people in Pittsburgh would pay more attention to how well the Pirates are doing this year.
3. I hate how DH has to work long hours in the evenings.
4. I had a great day at work yesterday and hoping for a good rest of the week!
5. We have our first appointment tomorrow for IF testing. I'm a little nervous.
6. I don't like coffee.
7. Most nights I don't really feel like cooking dinner.
8. I'm intrigued that Carrie Underwood is going to star in a live production of the Sound of Music to be aired on NBC in December. Julie Andrews is a really tough act to follow. http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=827748
9. I'm looking forward to having dinner with DH on Friday!
10. I refuse to turn my furnace on while it's still "summer." The past few days/nights here it's been like 63 in the house because it's been so cold outside.
