Sewilson33 · October 2013

Let's have them!

BruinsBabe33 · October 2013

1. I get irrationally upset when the models on the Price is Right talk

2. The last season is finally available on Netflix for Supernatural!

3. Sam Winchester is super hot.

4. I need to get a pill box for the one pill I take. I am so bad at remembering it.

5. The tree across the street is so gorgeous when it turns color.

6. Alan and I have the next two days off together, which is nice.

7. We are having lobster for dinner that we caught ourselves.

8. I'm sad both of the boats are out of the water, but next season will be here quickly!

9. I have a few errands to run, but I probably will leave them until Thursday.

10. Stamps are funny to me.

I wasn't feeling well yesterday and actually hoped to wake up with a fever today so I could stay home from work. I feel much better today, though. I'm glad to not be sick.
I had to take my belly button ring out for good this AM. It's been 2.5 years and it never healed correctly because the guy botched it (he lost the needle whilst piercing my skin. Him digging around to find it was so painful). It feels SO good to have it out. I didn't realize how uncomfortable it was.
I need to drink more water but I'm so cold I just want tea and coffee!
A coworker's wife is pregnant. He has said repeatedly he hopes she doesn't get fat, he doesn't want her to be a SAHM because SAHMs are clingy and lazy, and that he's going to send her away to have the baby (to be fair, she is Japanese, and in Japan the birth/recovery is 100% covered and she'd be with a ton of family). I'll just leave it at that.
The thing I'm most excited about today is that I packed myself a cookie in my lunch.
Today is CD14. It's an odd feeling knowing that I have the potential to ovulate any time from here on out. Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later. Looking forward to productive ST, rather than just 'pracice'
It's been two years since I've taken an OPK and I realize I've forgotten the best way to do it.
(sorta BR/PR) I had a terrible dream last night my sister lost her babies (she's pregnant with twins). It was horrible, and I had to text her to make sure everything is okay. I did not tell her about the dream, though.
H is an engineer and a perfectionist, and he's starting to be so methodical about TTC. It's already losing some of the 'magic'. But he's good about DTD EOD, so I'm really thankful for that.
I love watching the leaves turn colors! It's so pretty outside of my office today.

ecinereb · October 2013

1. I want a do over of today

2. I had (gluten-free) eggo waffles for breakfast, mmm.

3. I wish they were real belgian waffles.

4. I love that it's sunny today.

5. I'm jealous of Bruins' lobster.

6. I'm excited for the Canucks game tonight.

7. I miss Schneider. If the rumours are true I understand why he left but as a team we never should have let him go.

8. I think we'll order pizza for dinner.

9. I'm house sitting for my parents and taking care of their untrained dogs. ewwww.

10. I'm excited for Thanksgiving this weekend.

Sewilson33 · October 2013

@Goodwolf - are you allowed to hit coworkers? Because I would be seriously tempted to slap that guy numerous times.
@Bruinsbabe33 Enjoy your time off with DH!

1) I had crazy crazy dreams last night. For instance I wanted to show DH a private beach in my hometown so I flew him over my hometown (in IDK what) and showed it to him that way.
2) I'm very confused with my body. I seem to be "spotting" but it is really just tinged CM and nothing like normal. I'm marking it as spotting anyway. Af is due today or tomorrow.
3) My 70 year old boss and I are wearing the EXACT same outfit. Yes EXACT.
4) I brought chicken cutlets for lunch and I'm soooo excited.
5) I'm having a roasted port tenderloin for dinner tonight. YUM
6) I picked at all my nails on my left hand and left my right hand perfect. My nails are now completely uneven.
7) Sugar free cookies are just as good as regular cookies.
8) My boss still has peanut m & m's in her office and I'm waiting for her to leave her office so I can steal some again.
9) I'm obsessed with Cammomile tea lately.
10) I have so much laundry to do, it gives me anxiety even thinking about going into my laundry room.

Sewilson33 · October 2013

ecinereb how were they? I'm so tempted to try gluten free things.

sweetpotato123 · October 2013

1. I'm super emotional today.

2. I hate IF. It really fucking sucks.

3. I have been sick for 7 days straight and today is the first day I actually felt like eating. Gotta love Follistim, HCG, progesterone and Dostinex. Good news is my massive bloated stomach appears to be going down- which could in turn be bad news (I tend to get mild OHSS. I am actually wishing for a huge belly since late onset can sometimes mean it worked).

4. I am planning a fancy dinner out next Friday to celebrate either a)being pregnant or b) eating and drinking my sorrows for another BFFN. Gotta look forward to something, right?

5. The fair is in town and I hope I can convince Mr to take me.

6. I finally have a "lighter" work day- i.e. I'm not on phone calls for 6 hours straight.

7. It is 64 degrees today and it was 90 Sunday. The weather needs to get its shit together.

8. We're watching the Hangover III tonight. I'm fully expecting to fall asleep half way through.

9. I'm not a drinker during the 2ww, but I could really go for some wine.

10. I need some motivation today. It's nasty out and I just want to curl up with the pup on the couch.

BruinsBabe33 · October 2013

@ecinereb I can't believe they let Schneider go. I would love to pick him up! Also, you are always welcome to come over for lobster!

LuckyAngel07 · October 2013

I mother-effing hate my body.
I had zero spotting/cramping/craving to warn me this shit was coming.
The pine tree in our front yard decided to dump every dead needle it had all at once; I swear the street in front of our house and our front lawn look like it snowed pine needles there are so many.
I want to down an entire bottle of wine tonight, but I'd be so hungover I'd never get up for work tomorrow.
I'm having lunch with a couple of friends tomorrow; I was really hoping I'd have amazing news.
I had a pr/br dream last night. It's hazy now, but I do remember it feeling so real and so good and that makes now so much worse.
I need to figure out what I'm eating for lunch.
I'm not even hungry.
I ate a soft pretzel for breakfast.
I want to go home tonight, curl up in bed, and never come out.

sparklingdiamond · October 2013

1. I am ready for Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday!

2. I have been having odd dreams.

3. I made some brownies last night and really wish I had one right now.

4. I am slacking off bad this week. I need a vacation!

5. We are going to visit SIL in Oklahoma City this weekend.

6. My skin has decided it wants to start breaking out

7. I really wish I didn't have so many student loans I had to pay on.

8. The weather here is annoying because it's cold in the mornings and hot in the afternoons!

9. I found my favorite candy at Walgreen's the other day and bought three boxes.

10. I ate those boxes in two days!

blueeyedblossom · October 2013

1) I had plans to be productive today; clean the house, shower, go to the store.

2) it is now 11:30, and there is no way in hell I'm going anywhere.

3). TMI ALERT

I have cramps so bad I can't move, and I'm bleeding through a super tampon in an hour. :-(

4) it's freezing in our house, but I'm not sure if I need to do something with the furnace to turn the heat on. :-/

5) my boss scheduled me a 3 day weekend without me asking (sun-mon)

6) I'm drinking green tea and am planning to get some B6 if I ever get to the store.

7) I got DH's Christmas present, and then promptly told him what he's getting.

8) His present is tickets to see comedian Jim Gaffigan in November.

9) I wish DH would bring me "just because" presents every once in a while.

10) I might take a nap. I love days off :-)

BruinsBabe33 · October 2013

@blueeyedblossom if you are bleeding that much and it isn't normal you should be seen stat.

Unfortunately this is my life.. always have had fairly heavy bleeding and horrible cramps the first day or two. Thanks for your concern though!

The one thing that makes me hopeful is that my mom is the same way, and she had really easy deliveries. Maybe I'll be the same ;-)

BruinsBabe33 · October 2013

I understand. That's how mine are, too. That why I said if it isn't normal haha!

DangerMuffin23 · October 2013

1. A friends pet sitter lost her dog the other day AND had taken her collar off. 2. Another friend and I went looking for her until almost midnight last night. 3. Today I'm taking some of the shelters off her list and going to look for the dog as well. 4. She didn't microchip the dog and it pisses me off. 5. Bfn this am, still no AF. 2-3 days late 6. I did a bunch of Pinterest things yesterday and had fun 7. My other friend is on bedrest and I'm with her in labor so I keep looking at my phone like those annoying teenagers who can't put em down (I'm waiting for the "it's time" phone call 8. I'm really excited about being in the delivery room with her. 9. I was really hoping for a BFP today, but didn't cry. I think I used up all the moisture in my body crying two days ago. 10. I think deep down bc AF hasn't shown yet, that I'm hoping the three bfn's I've gotten are all wrong and I'm about to really lose my shit when she shows.

UPDATE: Dog is FOUND, and AF made her appearance

brij2006 · October 2013

1. Our internet at work keeps disconnecting, and it's making me not want to be productive.

2. We need to get working on refinancing our house, but I have no idea if I want to stick with our local bank or let it be bought out by a larger mortgage company.

3. Mocha swirl coffee is yummy.

4. I have H's chili for lunch today, and I can't wait to eat it.

5. I really need to spend some time in my office tonight, but I want to be outside instead.

6. Next weekend H is in Vegas, and I'm excited to clean a bunch of things out of our house while he's gone. Muahahaha.

7. It is going to feel so good to have some of this stuff cleaned out of our house.

8. Hopefully I can get some items listed for sale online somewhere too. It will help if I can get some of our wedding crap finally sold and out of the house.

9. We're having friends over Thursday night for the Bears game. I'm excited to eat some crappy food.

10. I have no sour cream to put in my chili, and it makes me sad.

@LuckyAngel07 I'm so so sorry

8. I feel like I'm doing my BBTs wrong or something.

What makes you think this? Are you taking it at the same time every morning (I set an alarm for 5 a.m. and take it this time on weekends, too)? Getting enough sleep beforehand?

GoodWolf · October 2013

@Sewilson33 I wish I could. It's so weird, he seems so normal and nice. Until he talks about his wife. I let out a quiet, unintentional "oooh my goooooosh...." once after one of his comments. I just couldn't help it. He kind of back pedaled after that.

sweetpotato123 · October 2013

@fembrist- metformin is pure evil. I don't think I left the house for over a week when my dose was increased. Hang in there.

BruinsBabe33 · October 2013

@amandaf6383 while Dean is super hot, I would only want him for a few nights. I would get bored with him. Sam is so dynamic and has that dark side to him. So while Dean may be more physically attractive, Sam is who I want to be with long term.

RockABye · October 2013

1- superfluous meetings suck. I hate that my time is being wasted

2- candy corn is so addicting....

3- I hate the smokehouse thing from Arby's today since I've already cheated with the candy corn. It sucked. Like bacon with liquid smoke and BBQ sauce. So not worth the cheat

4- I'm so frustrated by all the boxes still unpacked in my house

5- I hate pointless telecon meetings that really don't pertain to me but I have to be in (yes, I'm using this one again)

6- I finally made my annual pap exam... It's been about 4 years technically, but I figure I've had so many hands in my hooha, sonograms, surgery in 2010, and bloodwork that if anything was amiss, we'd know.

7- I only made the appt bc if I do it, I get $200 from my workplace to use towards my deductible

8- I wish it would stay cool outside. At this rate, we may still be able to use the pool this weekend.

9- I'm shocked with the lies some people can get away with (this is not GP related!)

10- I hate long stupid meetings!!!!

Your logic is screwy!! Dean is constantly suffering and sacrificing himself for stupid maybe evil Sam. Sam's just all "Poor me, I might be evil."

Exactly, for a badass, Dean is such a good guy! Ugh! Sam is tormented and could be evil and that entices me! Yum!

The USPSTF recommendation is actually that women get a Pap test every 3 years from 21-65 years old.

sparklingdiamond · October 2013

@fembrist Yes I hate Metformin as well. Especially anytime I had to increase the dosage! I am assuming that since you take the Met, you have PCOS? That can definitely cause random temps to happen and it won't be quite as smooth as some non-PCOS people.

PandPMeant2B · October 2013

1. I had a vendor meeting today. I love free lunches! And I was actually excited to hear what they had to say.... it was all god news.

2. I'm sad that DH wants to consider giving away one of the cats (the one who's most attached to me) because she's been refusing to go in the litter box lately and becoming increasingly grumpy. I want to take her to the vet first and see if something's really wrong.

3. AF is due tomorrow and I hope that bitch stays the hell away, but if she doesn't at least I can drink on my birthday this weekend.

4. H and I are going to FIT class tonight (which sounds like fun, right? but it's actually for divorced parents). H and his BSC ex are court ordered to take it (separately, of course) and I decided to go too because I'm still a co-parent and I want to support H. Not happy about paying what I believe is a ridiculous fee, though.

5. I believe in karma. Hardcore.

6. All this talk about Canadian Thanksgiving is making me SUPER excited for American Thanksgiving!

7. I'm pissed that the Devils lost in OT (again) last night, but I'll take the point.

8. I miss NJ.

9. H works from home, so he does practically all the cooking and cleaning, including laundry. He also makes my tea and lunch every morning I really do try to show how much I appreciate everything he does, but I'm afraid he's going to start resenting me and think I'm taking advantage like his ex did (and so nicely told him I would).

10. I really am working on not letting H's ex get to me that much, I swear. It's a process. He's been dealing with it for years; it's still new to me.

Giving away a pet (especially one with pottying issues) is almost never an option. You take in a pet, you do it for life!!

The first sign of illness or stress with cats is almost always litter box issues. A vet visit is priority one!! UTIs universally cause litter box issues, and if anything at all has changed recently, it could be causing stress, which could also lead to kitty not using the box.

When we brought our pup home, both cats started having pottying issues (one peed all over the cat bed, the other started pooping regularly outside the litter box). We gave them a calming water additive and started using Cat Attract litter in their boxes. Potty issues = solved!!

As a responsible pet owner, you always try to resolve the problem before just going straight to getting rid of the animal.

(I'm sorry for the rant, but I have zero patience for people who consider ditching their pets, especially for fixable shit like litter box issues.)

PandPMeant2B · October 2013

@LuckyAngel07, I agree with you about trying to solve the issue first. And I don't want to make DH seem like an insensitive prick. He took this kitty in to help a friend "temporarily" because he already had 2 cats. That was over a year ago, so it looks like she's here to stay. She's always been a little moody, and we did talk about finding her a new home (not a shelter) if/when we have babies because I wouldn't trust her around a little one (she gets jealous easily and scratches). This really did start out of the blue; no sudden changes in her environment or anything like that. DH isn't opposed to taking her to the vet or anything; I think he says those things out of frustration when he has to clean up her mess. Thanks for the advice! (That's not meant to be sarcastic at all).

LuckyAngel07 · October 2013

I'm glad to hear that, P&P. Seriously, message me if/when you guys are looking for remedies. I've got loads of info on kitties and things to help. I just don't want to post it all here and hijack GP to Pets.
