Re: Hey everybody!

  • Thanks for asking!  I'm doing better than I was yesterday... Got a really good report from my best friend about the baby, so I'm a little less worried.  Still mourning the loss of my friend, but I feel better after a few good cries. 
    On a happier note, according to my monitor, I started Oing yesterday, so I'm looking forward to lots of ST over the next few days.

  • It's my birthday. :)

    I'm doing good. I'm a month in to my last year of grad school, and I hope it flies by. I'm working pretty much full-time as well right now and I kind of hope that I go to part-time because I get stressed out a lot. But we are going to Denver next week to see my brother and a football game and I'm so excited.

    I hope all is well with everyone else.
    Happy Birthday!  Also, I saw that episode of Friends in your siggy the other day and it totally made me think of you! :-p

  • I'm good! Nothing really going on here! Hockey season is upon us and I am so stoked! The boat is coming out of the water soon and that makes me sad. I wanted to get out on it more this summer, but it just didn't work out. Oh well! I am really excited about pumpkin stuff being out and apple cider stuff! I'm also itching to start baking again! I usually take the summers off because it is too hot to use the oven!
  • They finally started working on our house!  They graded the lot and this is the picture I took when we drove by last weekend.  It's not much...but it's something!

    So exciting!

  • Happy Birthday @transponster !!!

    I'm doing good today! We have a lot of construction going on in our house which is a good thing but a messy thing! At least we are finally making some progress! I haven't been temping or anything this cycle and I feel kind of stress free about it! It's a nice feeling except for the fact that DH think I'll "know" when I O. Silly boy! I am trying to just go with the flow and not think about making babies.

  • Happy Birthday, @transponster!! Any special plans for the day?

    I got to see my brother yesterday! He moved out to San Francisco over the summer to take a paid internship position at Playstation. They offered him a full-time position, and he was back out here over the weekend (which he didn't even tell me! I only found out yesterday when he asked about having lunch, and he's flying back out today! Doofus little brothers.) to pack up his things and make the permanent move to the West Coast!

    Otherwise, I'm working myself to exhaustion. I'm seriously considering taking a sick day just so I can sleep in and get a chunk of freelance out of the way so I don't have to worry quite so much about working on it every night after work.

    Thankfully, I'm not scheduled for any promos this weekend. No plans other than working on freelance and the usual weekend house cleaning.

  • @transponster Happy Birthday! Do you have any special plans today?

    @sparklingdiamond That's excited about the progress on your house!

    I'm not doing too bad today. Trying to keep myself occupied so that I don't tear through my chart with a fine tooth comb. It's looking slightly triphasic, and it's driving me crazy!

    Not too much is going on in my life. Work during the day, then city stuff and family events at night. Tonight we have the open house at the new elementary school in town, and it's "meet your city council" night. So H has to be there, and I am helping with the food.

  • Thanks everyone! You are all so sweet.

    @LuckyAngel07 @brij2006 no I don't, unfortunately. I have class until 7 tonight, so I doubt I'll do anything, unless H wants to go out for supper. But I do have a bottle of wine my parents gave me over the weekend, so we'll drink that and smoke the cigars I bought on Saturday night during my alumni pub crawl.

    TTC #1 since 9/12
  • @transponster Happy Birthday!!

    The ILs left yesterday (thank goodness)!  I've been really frustrated with my FIL after this weekend,and it's just really weighing on me.  It is all things that DH will need to handle, but I just hate to see these things happening. 

    Today is also 13DPO according to FF, and I'm going completely nuts.  I'm trying to wait it out since the last few months were difficulty, but it is really hard.  I'm trying to wait until Thurs or Friday to test, but we will see.

  • This kid should be here by Saturday, or we will be moving forward with an eviction. Friday is my last day of work, and I cannot wait to be away from these fools for the next 10 weeks.

    So exciting!! I'll have to try to remember to check the GPM board for baby arrival updates!

    I will be her labor buddy, and I will be sure to post on GP with labels, obviously, so people who don't go to GPM know what's up!

  • Ok first things first -

    @sparklingdiamond - so exciting about breaking ground on the house! :D
    @transponster - happy birthday! 
    @nfp147 - So close! I love the 'sleeps' countdown ;)
    @brij2006 - when are you testing??
    @caseyandlizzie - FX for LO to come before Saturday! Also, I typed "him" at first, so apparently my subconcious is betting on boy ;)
    @abt8113 - You have strong will, my friend. I would be peeing on ev.ry.thing.

    I'm doing alright. Work is crazy with the end of the quarter coming up and so many goals that need to be met. DH and I are edging closer to getting our loans paid off (see siggy...) which is exciting and nerve wracking. I'd like to be secure and stable financially before any future LO's, but even with paying off the loans, finances are a big PITA and it seems like we can just never 'get ahead'. /endrant

    With that said, I plan on going home and drinking a Cinnful Apple Angry Orchard or two (so delicious!) and crashing on the couch with H for a lazy night.
