Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. Totally looking forward to mellow mushroom tonight.

    2. I start follistim tonight- woohoo!

    3. So thankful for my Mr. He is so supportive and puts up with so much shit when I'm on meds.

    4. I have to take B to the vet for a teeth cleaning. We haven't had this done yet so I'm a bit nervous.

    5. We have to replace a window in our kitchen. I am not excited to shell out $700.

    6. It's getting cooler here and I might get to wear my new boots soon!

    7. Although there are some negatives to working from home, I generally love it.

    8. I am so happy for all the positive results recently!!

    9. I would like to fast forward the next 3 weeks so I can know if this cycle worked.

    10. I love fall!!

    1. I'm still freaking waiting to O. My OPKs have just kept getting lighter every day, though. So much for a reasonable O date this cycle.
    2. DH didn't do his SA last week like I expected him to; he should now be doing it tomorrow morning. I hope the results come back quickly!
    3. I am exhausted. 
    4. I really want to pop 3 blocks over to Starbucks for a caffeinated indulgence.
    5. I have become much more accepting of the color navy recently. I wanted nothing to do with it before and didn't own a single piece of clothing in that color.
    6. I really need some new cardis in fun colors; practically all of mine are neutrals.
    7. I'm not enjoying the sub-50-degree temperatures from the past couple of mornings.
    8. I don't have to work any promos this weekend!!
    9. I need to remember to set my DVR for Thursday's BBT premier and the new show, The Crazy Ones (because I love SMG).
    10. OUAT returns Sunday night and I'm psyched! Yay for fall shows!

  • 1. I have a secret stash of mini reese's cups in my desk that I have been snacking on all day.

    2. I'm enjoying the new itunes radio

    3. I'm happy that The Bengals have had a good opener to their season so far

    4. I'm really hoping The Reds end up with a wild card spot for the playoffs

    5. As much as I like Julep polish, I'm going to be canceling after this month. I just have WAY too many polishes that I've never used before and I could be spending that money on something else.

    6. I'm exciting for Halloween candy!

    7. I had my first pumpkin donut of the season on Friday and it was so freaking good.

    8. I'm happy that my H has taken on more projects around the house that he's been neglecting

    9. I really need some new shoes, but I'm so picky so I probably won't actually be getting them any time soon.

    10. I wish my browser at work weren't so locked down, because then I'd be reading some nook books instead of being bored here most days

  • 1. I am getting quite a head ache today. I felt fine all day and it just hit me.
    2. Within the past week I've had 2 almond croissants and 1 1/2 bagels... I think I have veered off the low carb diet JUST A LITTLE.
    3. It's weird not knowing it I O'd or where my temps are. A little liberating and a little nerve racking.
    4. I don't want to cook at all tonight but I have all this meat that needs to be cooked.
    5. 1 guy at my job told me yesterday he needs to find a new job and today another guy asked me to help print his resume. I feel like everyone is going to be leaving my job soon.
    6. I've heard so many bad things about the new iphone ios 7 upgrade I am nervous to update my phone now.
    7. I would give anything to go away to some random island with just DH and not speak to anyone for a whole week.
    8. I wish I had a yoga class by my house so I could de-stress after work.
    9. I want a big add chocolate cake SOOOO bad!
    10. And a nice bottle of Riesling

  • 1. There's a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting hiding out in my desk drawer. I will be devouring it in t-minus 10 minutes.

    2. I'm working on things that I've never dealt with before at work, and I feel very uncomfortable about it.

    3. There's an open house at the new elementary school in town tonight. I'm more excited about being able to browse around the school our children will go to, than H being part of the "meet & greet" going on during it.

    4. My lemon vanilla hand lotion from B&BW smells amazing!

    5. I've re-painted my nails more in the last week than I have in the past month.

    6. Fall shows are back on!!!! HIMYM, Big Bang, 2 Broke Girls. Eek!

    7. I would rather be outside taking pictures with my camera, than be at work today.

    8. After work I have to go pick H up from the body shop. The repairs they did from the deer damage aren't so great. So we have to fight with them on it. :-(

    9. There's 9 minutes between me and my chocolate cake!

    10. My chart is driving me insane! I don't know how you most of you ladies handle the 2WW on a monthly basis.

  • 1. I'm going in to get my CD 21 blood work tomorrow before heading to work. I'm worried that they won't be able to find a vein to draw from. Any lucky vibes you can send my way are appreciated!

    2. Because of said blood work, I'm trying to chug as much water as I can before bedtime tonight. I heard it helps to be well hydrated. I have to fast tonight so I can't drink anything beforehand.

    3. I have a huge headache.

    4. It amazes me at the level of the kids that I teach. Things that I used to teach easily to second graders before I now find that they don't have the attention span to learn.

    5. I really wish my someday kids weren't doomed to a future of public school. Seeing the state of our school district where we live really makes me want to home school or do private school. Like we have the money for that though....

    6. I was going to start walking and exercising this week but alas I am sick. That always happens to me. I am all determined and ready to start exercising and then I get sick.

    7. I really enjoy watching re-runs of sitcoms like Friends and King of Queens.

    8. The Pirates are in the playoffs! Woot!

    9. I get along better with the custodian at work than I do with some of my co-workers.

    10. I'm excited to watch the season premier of the Big Bang Theory this week. I just hope we remember to watch!

  • 1. So DH and I are wanting some larger bookshelves but are too cheap to spend money on them. I was perusing Freecycle just now and noticed someone was giving some away that look like what we would like. Then I looked at the name on the post. It's the same first and last name of my OB/GYN. It's a common name, but I'm not going to risk it.

    2. I normally am not a fan of pumpkin spice lattes but that sounds kind of good right now.

    3. I feel like I am wanting to drink a lot right now to make up for all the time I avoided booze while TTC. Make that coffee as well.

    4. I want to take a nap

    5. I wish I had more hours in the day

    ...Maybe I'll come back when I think of 5 more....

    Married August 2009

    3 years. 5 losses.

    Our rainbow baby boy born 11.16.15

  • 1. I am getting really busy at work and really like what I do, but I can't seem to find motivation lately (ie: nesting instead of working on the 5 piles of paper on my desk that are driving me nuts).

    2. H, SS, and I went apple picking on Sunday.  We found a new type of apple called Paula Red that was super yummy!

    3. I had a bite of SS's cider doughnut and I wasn't at all impressed.

    4. According to my monitor, I started Oing yesterday, so ST is on the menu for the next few days. I don't want it to be the ONLY reason for ST, but last night I just didn't feel like it and had to force myself to get into it. I hate admitting that. We just got married a month ago; should we both want it all. the. time?

    5. H and I are currently having a debate because he read an article claiming female orgasms prevent pregnancy. 

    6. I'm hoping it takes me 17 more minutes to thing of the next 4 things so I can GTFO when I'm done.

    7. I hope my 2ww goes quick!

    8. I took the day off work tomorrow, but didn't tell H.  I'm going to let him think I called in sick. It's easier than explaining how I lied to my boss to get a mental health day.

    9. I made a paleo apple crumble after we went apple picking and it was DELICIOUS.  SS even liked it and he usually won't go near those types of things because, like most 12 y/o boys, if he hears it's good for you, he runs.  Wait til he finds out the pudding I make that he devours is actually made with avocados. bwahahaha

    10. It was in the 40's here last week so I got out all my fall clothes.  This week it's supposed to be in the 60's-70's and I'm actually not looking forward to it.  I wore a sweater dress with tights and ankle boots today and don't care that I will look like a fool walking to my car in 65 degree weather. WTF, mother nature? Make up your mind!

  • 1. I'm so much more relaxed now that my ILs are gone.  I'm so happy to have my house back.

    2. I'm trying to convince myself to go workout today.  It's taking a lot of motivation.

    3. I'm ready to binge on all the new shows coming back.

    4. DH is taking me to a concert tomorrow night.  We have different tastes in music, and I'm not excited.

    5. I have to call in sick Thursday due to said concert. 

    6. I'm frustrated that work will not let me schedule a sick day early (see above). I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for that afternoon, and my supervisor refuses to sign off on taking the entire day off.

    7. I am feeling a little bit of a sore throat coming on.

    8. This 2ww is killing me.  I hate waiting, but I don't want the disappointment of a negative.

    9. The Reds are in the playoffs!!!  I'm so excited!

    10. One month until Hawaii!  I'm so ready to be there.

    Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"

  • 1. Alan is obsessed with LED lights. It makes me laugh!

    2. I wish slippers were acceptable to wear all of the time.

    3. I can't find my other slipper and it makes me sad because I can't seem to find the style I like anywhere.

    4. We have way too many DVDs.

    5. I wish it were acceptable to punch people you work with.

    6. We are going to Texas Roadhouse tonight for dinner and I am going to eat a million breads.

    7. Watching DIY network makes me feel badly about the projects we haven't finished or keep putting off. But not badly enough to make me do anything about it.

    8. Alan is back on Facebook and it kind of worries me.

    9. More places need to sell Irish breakfast and make it properly!

    10. I keep hoping someone will just give me a house. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm still hoping.
  • 1. I just got done doing 90 thrusters, 90 situps, 3 400 m runs, plus a tabata style workout of situps and pushups (20 seconds on, 10 second rest, repeat for 4 rounds). I'm jello. 

    2. I picked up Subway after my training session and it totally hit the spot.

    3. My SIL is refusing to talk/be in the same room as me....and it's glorious. I only worry that this means I'll see less of my new nephews. 

    4. I have more boys than girls in my class this year.  I forget how "different" that makes the class. I got spoiled last year when I had more girls than boys.

    5. Jimothy's birthday is on Thursday and I've got plans to take him to a new restaurant that he mentioned he wants to try sometime. He keeps asking if it's at Restaurant A and I'm worried because now I'm afraid he'll be disappointed that it's at Restaurant B. 

    6. In the last 12 months, I have had 10 cycles. That has NOT ever happened in my life. I've never had 10 periods in a years time. NEVER. This is turn makes me stabby that I'm not one of the lucky ones that accidentally gets knocked up. 10 cycles!! Argh.

    7. I got to watch my best friend open birthday gifts with her foster daughter this weekend. My heart swelled with both immense joy and pain at knowing what being a mom means to her.  This is what we should be doing. Watching our best friend open gifts with her baby.  Who is the most adorable little girl in the world. BTW.

    8. #7 probably made her cry. :) I love you c&j! :)

    9. I need to get rich, move to the east coast, or get rid of all the states in between there.

    10. I am in a wedding next weekend....I love being a bridesmaid. When the bride isn't a raging bridezilla, anyway. I love getting my hair, nails and makeup done. I really was born to be a princess.

  • 1. I never do Ten Things Tuesday because I can't ever come up with 10.  I am pretty sure I can this week.
    2. My co-workers are amazing!  It is awesome to go to work and know that I will be supported in my classroom!  
    3.  We went to the apple orchard for a field trip yesterday and I got so many good pictures of my kiddos!!  I can't wait to print them off and show the parents!!
    4. I went to a birthday party this weekend for my nephews.  Insanely crazy.  
    5. My husband is amazing.  He is my rock. He is my everything.  I would be lost without him.
    6.  Some days I hate FB.  But it is a "train wreck" that I can't help but check.
    7.  I hate when people cancel plans that were made weeks in advance.  I didn't re-arrange my schedule for you to cancel.
    8.  I seriously have the best friends from college in the world.  I can't believe that almost 10 years ago I met them.  I am so glad that they need a roommate, and I needed a place to live.  
    9. I am glad that I got to see aimothy this weekend, even if it was for a short amount of time!  And yes, you made me cry!!  
    10.  I am thankful for this board.  I may not post a lot, but I learn a lot and send prayers nightly to all of you!!  You are all amazing!!
