Third Person Thursday!
Summer is the type of person who reads the last few pages of a book first. This book on CD is KILLING HER!! She wanted to sit in the parking lot of work all morning and finish it!
Re: Third Person Thursday!
Kelly hasn't been sleeping all that well, and seriously thought abuot calling into work today...but kelly knows she would feel too guilty all day knowing her classroom was shorthanded, and probably wouldn't sleep anyway.
Kelly is also pissed that she made a special trip to the store yesterday on her lunch break to pick up some coffee creamer, and then left it at work. Kelly is willing to drink black coffee, but the creamer would have really made the morning just a tad brighter.
On a positive note, Kelly is super excited that it's Thursday already, and that she is going to see Dave Matthews Band on saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*TMI* Shaina and her DH have had sex 3 times in the last 24 hours or so and it has been awesome!
Shaina really thought yesterday was Thursday and today is Friday, but it's not and that sux b/c that means Shaina has to work tomorrow.
Wives Unscripted
Shelley is a little irked with her DH. He keeps hinting that he doesn't like her short hair by saying things like he liked it when his wife didn't look like a boy. Shelley was really irked when DH was drunk a couple weeks ago and told her that her haircut made her look like a lesbian. So now, Shelley is sad that she has to grow her hair long again. But she is trying to look in the bright side and that she can still have it short in a bob-style cut.
Shelley is trying to get her DH to leave the house for a few hours this weekend so she can have some alone time. She hasn't had any since he got home and she's starting to go crazy. Shelley really likes her alone time. Once her DH gets back to work she will have at least 2 days a month of alone time.
Oooo wee Shana and hubby!
I had been thinking it felt like Friday too
Oh yeah, and Summer is trying not to think about how she's leaving her baby boy overnight on Saturday for a wedding in Richmond.
He's staying with Summer's mom and she knows it will be fine but it will be so weird to be without him.
Stacey thinks Shaina and her DH are rock stars
boooow chicka wooow wow.
Stacey is so freakin happy for Mar she can't stand it!!!
Stacey is going to a bachelorette party this weekend for one of her girlfriends and she is worried she can't hang with them. She thinks it will be an interesting night.
This is also partly why Summer is not excited about the wedding. It's Nick's step sister's wedding and that side of the family can really party. Summer will likely only have one drink (since she hasn't drank in over a year!) and will be ready to sleep at 10 per her normal bed time!!! And Nick will love the chance to party so she doesn't expect him to be okay with going to bed earlier than 2! And since it's family, they'll be expected to party all night with the others.
Brie is totally exhausted between allergies and school. She could totally use a nap. She won't get one today, but she is taking a half day tomorrow which will be nice.
Her college roomie and fiance are coming in for a visit tomorrow night. They'll be going to a Purdue football game and will have a really good time. Brie's excited, but still has some last minute cleaning to do before everyone arrives.
Brie's Blog 10.11.08 The Top Shelf Bookshelf
my read shelf:
Shelley doesn't know anything about charting either. Shelley doesn't plan on charting and will just keep doing the baby making dance with DH till they are successful.
Shelley thinks Dani's AF showing up is a good thing and that Dani is adjusting to being off BC so TTC should be easier if her cycle stays regular.
**coming out of TPT** Yeah, I think it is a good thing. It didn't have to be kickstarted with a pill like some people have to deal with. Since you're going with the flow just seeing what happens, I think you're good for now
With that book I recommend skipping to the parts you want to. I don't think I read it cover to cover.
Tania wants to let Dani and Shelley know that if they have any questions about charting they can ask her.
Tania is also super stoked for Mar!!!!!
Tania is jealous of Shaina and her DH. If Tania and her hubby reach more than 3 in a month it's a good month for them. She reallys hates her endo!!!!!!!

Rebecca has a terrible headache in her ear that goes all the way down to her neck and up to her eyebrow.
Rebecca can't stop calculating how long they could survive if she wasn't working. Does hating your job count as enough of an emergency to tap the emergency fund?
Stacey agrees with Summer (like usual) 100%. Stacey would recommend reading at least some parts of TCOYF because you will learn very important things about your body. Stacey says you don't have to read the whole thing but even if you aren't going chart, there are chapters in there explaining your cycle so that you can understand the three different phases of a cycle. Stacey thinks it's the most informative/worth-while book she's ever read.
Rebecca thinks this is a win-win situation.
Tania's poor insides are cringing at that thought

Stacey tried that for about half a month and got tired.
Stacey also realized that after 5+ months of trying with no luck, she needed to read the book to try to figure out what the frick was going on with her body! Stacey thinks the book taught her a lot and even helped her decide to go to the Dr. and see what was going on. Stacey wishes sex everyday would just get her pregnant
