I just made my appointment for BW on CD21. I have to go to the office that's over an hour away, and I have to be there at 6:30 in the morning. ON A SUNDAY. Ugh. I am going to have to find a really good breakfast place nearby to bribe DH with. 

In other exciting news, I stocked up on decaf coffee (gross) to start weaning my caffeine habit. At least I picked up peppermint mocha creamer, right? I also enjoyed my last beer last night. I'm giving up caffeine and alcohol in anticipation of starting this cycle.

Annnnnd there were two pg announcements on FB last night.

Flippin' fertile bitches...
(ETA: Yes, they may not have had it easy, but without knowing, I have to assume it happened easily for them. It's more of a comment on the crap TTTCers have to do that so many people are ignorant of)

This better effin' work. :-p

  • That is a horrible appt time!! I hope there's somewhere damn good for you guys to go for breakfast.

    I've been mixing decaf with regular coffee for months. It's not bad, especially with a yummy flavored creamer. Hope the switch to decaf goes well for you!

  • @LuckyAngel07 - I have a Keurig where I can brew half and half; have you ever tried that? I already don't like how watery Keurig coffee is, but I think the peppermint mocha might give me a chance. I usually get my coffee on the way in to work (SB or DD), so this will be a big switch for me.

  • I do the half caf thing with the keurig a lot. Just brew a smaller cup of regular, then the same size cup of decaf. I usually do this in my travel mug. The only time there's a noticeable difference is if you use flavored of one. Then it throws it off. It also seems to brew a stronger when you do the smaller cups.
    Good luck with everything, and enjoy your breakfast.

    I have a regular coffee maker, so I mix half regular ground coffee with half decaf ground coffee in my canister, then just scoop it into my filter in the morning. I have no idea how it would be using a Keurig. Hopefully it's similar!

  • Most brands sell "half calf". So I just buy that and it's fine. Honestly haven't noticed a difference. But I too use froufrou creamers and I think that makes all the difference! :-)

  • I'd be setting that early appointment date as my last for fully charged coffee. lol. I hope your appointment goes well.
  • I hope the appointment goes really well :) Sorry about the decaf... when I wanted to cut out/down on caffeine I switched to yummy teas. I only drink coffee for the pick me up anyway!

    I asked if I had to start cutting caffeine now, and they suggested it. Boo hiss.
