did you do anything fun over the long weekend?
Its quiet around here lately. My bday was friday - we went out with friends and stayed overnight at a hotel. saturday we saw angry birds with DD and went out for dinner. sunday we went to DH's aunts lake house and got in the water. I had to leave early to play a wedding. It was a busy and spendy weekend but was SO worth it. We officially started TTC over the weekend - I was getting really nervous again about it hoping pregnancy will be better. No going back now.

@vlagrl29, happy late birthday and good luck with the TTcing!!!
What long weekend, lol? At my workplace we "trade" the Memorial Day holiday for having Mardi Gras day off. A lot of people use vacation time and take it off anyway, but I didn't. So it was a really SLOW day at work.
The only thing of note is, on Sunday, my H and I went to one of our favorite restaurants. I was really excited because, a mystery shopping company I have done a lot of work for over the years, JUST got this restaurant as a new client. So our fancy $165 awesome meals/drinks will be reimbursed next month. I have to wait three months before I'm eligible to take this assignment again, but now we will be able to go a lot more often than before.
Thanks. It's gotten increasingly difficult these past few months. We're not interested in pursuing fertility treatment but we've started discussing adoption, OR we may just decide to be childless and retire in our 40s!
We've just done hormone and other blood based testing. All normal. I have a referral for an HSG, but I'm on the fence about it. Based on my periods, I'm guessing I have undiagnosed endometriosis.
The rest of the weekend we were OOT spending time with family which was really nice and relaxing. We got back early enough on Monday to catch an exciting hockey game on TV.
That sounds so weird to me! I could not imagine putting a note on a stranger's door asking to tour their house. I'd find it incredibly intrusive.
But then, I don't even answer the door if I'm not expecting someone. Rule One: If I don't know you, I don't answer my door. I've literally had people look in my window...see I'm home...and then knock on the window and/or the door forever. I just ignore it and pretend I don't hear them.
Quite frankly, there is a home invasion in my city a few times a month and the perpetrators usually get in by the person just answering the door. Plus I have no interest in buying whatever someone is selling or discussing religion with random, rude people...so, all around, there is just zero benefit to answering the door to strangers.
That was why I found it surprising, because your previous post alluded to it having happened more than that one time. I could see something like that happening once, because there are weird people out there, but for it to happen multiple times is what I found surprising. Maybe it is just a different vibe in planned communities, that I am not used to. To me, it just sounds really rude to ask to see someone's home.
I definitely wasn't side eyeing you all for showing the house (I hope you didn't get that impression). I can understand that attitude in areas where there are large swaths of middle/upper middle class neighborhoods. I was more explaining my own abject unfriendliness when people show up at my door unannounced. Quite frankly, I find it a little irritating even when friends do it...though I at least don't ignore them like I do strangers, lol.
