its thursday. one more work day left.
i had a FANTASTIC night last night. to recap:
after a horrible sense of "i am not going to be able to run a 5K in 2 weeks bc i can only run 1.25 miles right now" last night i kicked ASSSS! i ran 5K PLUS SOME (total 3.6 miles!) in 37 minutes! i am SO proud of myself!
i also got our laundry done, filed our taxes (YAY!), and ate really healthy last night 
however, my personal bank account went into the negative for the first time in my life because i forgot about an automatic bill that was taken out yesterday...but i am still onmy runners high and dont even care!
Re: thank the lord
It's a cccccooooooolllddddd Thursday here. All I wanted to do this morning was stay curled up in our warm bed, but I'm here at work.
Last night we didn't do much...just had dinner that I made in the crockpot w/ some mashed potatoes, watched some shows on Hulu, and I read a few chapters before I fell asleep...what an exciting night.
Tonight I really need to pick up around the house when I get home so I don't leave it all for the weekend since Don's got it off from pizza hut. On my way home I'm going to pick up some meatballs to have w/ our spaghetti and some stuff to make salads...mmmmm pasta!
Happy Thursday. My gritty, tired eyes wish it was Friday at 3pm, but we'll suffer through it!
Went to lacrosse practice last night to see my girls and say hi to the coaches. I'm not coaching this year cuz those brats drive me nuts, but I still miss 'em. I think I made a mistake. Seeing the girls and laughing w/ the coaches and having them talk shiz about my replacement made me sad. Maybe I'll get back into it next year.
Sauteed some chicken last night and it was super UN-flavorful. Was butt hurt that I wasted $20 in organic chicken for it to taste like crap. Boo hiss. Also did a load of dishes, worked out, packed my gym bag, boiled some eggs and cleaned up the kitchen. Sound familiar Stephm??
Work is still driving me nuts and we're building a case against my ex-boss to hopefully get her fired. My new boss thinks she's bipolar and we can't have some nutso in charge of everything. Here's hoping...
I'm channeling Shauni and Stef and going to run at the gym tonight. Depending on how it goes, I might sign up for another triathlon.

Good Morning. I stayed in bed a little longer than I should've this morning. Oops...
Last night, I started a new craft project. A ribbon wreath. I stopped by Hobby Lobby to get everything (this is after I stayed at work late to do a stuttering screening on a teacher's child who never showed back up...still a little bitter about that). Jeremy had a meeting til 6 and had to be at the tennis courts at 7 so I pulled up around 6:40 with all my craft supplies. I walk into the house and who's in there...two missionaries there to share the Word with us. I was NOT happy (there's a long back story with Jeremy about this).
They left, Jeremy left to play tennis and I steadily cut ribbon into 4" and hot glued them together while watching shows. I skimped on supper last night and just threw a pizza in the oven.
I have no idea what we're doing for supper tonight. I'm thinking lasagna or hamburgers.
Good Morning!
Went to trivia last night we actually did really well.
I just feel so bad for H and is really getting diicked around with the new restaurant and what his roll is going to be. One day he is going to be the assistant manger/ running back of the house. then next he will be their top cook and only mangering when they want to leave early. The people they are bring in either have no experience or their experience is running a failing business already. The manger that will be running the new store is all about H working with him. So that keeps confusing him about what is going on. H will be good at running it. He is a people person. I just wish they would give him a straight answer and not keep giving him the run around.
I called out sick yesterday and now I have a ton of work to do! Ugh. I slept forever yesterday and last night and I am STILL tired. I'm also slightly annoyed because I forgot to put moisturizer on before my foundation this AM and my face is itchy. Damn dry winter weather!
My health insurance website is down and I'm trying to make sure that my new insurance covers my gyno before I make an appointment. I'm wondering if I can make an appointment with my endo (who is in the same building) for the same day, but I wonder if that's jumping the gun a bit. It's a PITA that pregnancy symptoms can be the same as my crazy fluctuating hormone symptoms. And I still have not taken a test. I don't want to spend $10-$15 on a test I'll have to take again next week anyway. I'm also slightly ashamed to go to the doctor because I've gained a fair amount of weight in the past two months, but then again that could be caused by my hormones being out of whack. But my weight has a big impact on my hormones and if I weighed less, I'd have less of a problem.
Ugh. I hate my body, can I exchange it for a new one that works properly? kthx.

I'm pi$$ed this morning. I didn't hear Richard come in this morning. I woke up around 2:30 and it was really quite. Weird, I thought. So I went into the living room and he was in there playing video games (not pissed about that). We were talking for a bit and I asked him if he was still getting moved to day shift in April. He said that they aren't going to move him to day shift because they hired a new guy to work that shift. I couldn't freaking believe it. They have told him on three separate occasions that they were going to move him to day shift and each time they bring a new guy on board. I've lost all hope that I'll ever see my husband on weeknights.
that sucks...im sorry deb.
i know how it feels to be on complete opposite schedules.
somehow, one day it'll be better...you're tough i know you can make it through this
Welcome to my life. 2.5 years of that and counting....

Quick post and run but I'm glad it's Thursday as I get to work from home tomorrow, yay!
Shauni - way to go on your run!
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Nice work, Shauni!! I don't think I could run 5k if there were someone chasing me, so I am definitely in awe of your accomplishment. :-)
So, so, so, soooooooooo glad it's Thursday. Tonight's Jersey Shore night! (Don't judge me.) And K's buddy is supposed to come over to help us finish the bathroom drywall stuff. Shapin' up to be a great day. :-)
Queen - do you have a dollar store near you? The Dollar Tree (and many other dollar stores) sell home pg tests, and they are perfectly fine. Mine sells the pink dye tests, which is what you want. Blue dye tests are apparently notorious for false positives. GL!
I'm still buried under work, but leaving earlyish (read: after only 9 hours instead of 10 or 11) because we're going to see Eric Clapton tonight. We bought the tickets so long ago that we keep forgetting!
Haha, thanks. When I first started with my hormone problems, I used to pick them up at Save-a-lot (discount grocery store) for like $1. I haven't been able to find them cheap since.
And part of me is afraid that I AM pregnant and wants to live in ignorant bliss for a little while longer.

I would also use to live in ignorant bliss and never took a test when I thought I was pregnant. I actually took my first test the other day. Since now I want to be pregnant,
DH and I LOVE the JS. We only watch two things together on TV and this is one of them! Yay for Thursdays
Shauni - congrats on your kicka$$ night! That rocks all around! Aside from the minus bank, but that happens to the best of us.
I feel a bit of a black cloud overhead. I haven't been sleeping well, my aunt is really annoying me, my recently divorced BFF is stuck in a bitter place and it took me a while to realize it so now I need to figure out how to help her out of it, we have a ton of stuff to get done on Saturday at our house, and I don't feel like going to the jewelry demo on Friday night, but I should. Bugger.
Last night I caught the 4:50, then went to Target and Lowe's. At home I changed, packed lunch and gym bag, and ate dinner. I watched two Teen Moms. MFD got home from his Lowe's trip and removed the shower doors and hung up the shower curtain. YAY. I am so pleased with this home improvement project that was super freaking easy too.
We watched Raising Hope, Modern Family and Mr. Sunshine. Modern Family killed it as always.
I went up to read and fell out around 11. This morning the trains were from HELL. Amtrak had power issues on my tracks, and there was a smoking dead train ahead, so it took me forfreaking ever to get here. So annoyed. Since someone let me know about the trains, I was able to wash dishes, put a load of laundry in, and start sorting through and reorganizing my gift bags. So that was good.
hahaha bazinga! Good job last night!
I am looking for some chicken dandies for you. I will send them via FB message after I got to my butt breaking gym class this afternoon.
Shauni- High five on your amazing run. You, deb and Stef are going to rock the 5k!!
I give major props to all you ladies that have such conflicting schedules with your hubs. I can't imagine how difficult that must be and how valuable the time you have together must be. You help me realize how lucky I am to have my husband around after work, even if his farts did smell like salami last night. (TMI?)
I want to work out too!
Alas, I am lazy and undisciplined.
Will try with all my heart to walk 5K with th hubby and doggie tomorrow.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
hilarious!
I ditto the first part. And w/r/t the second part....I just don't know if I can be thankful for his farts. Ever.
Side note: I got DH a random card last year: Outside: "Some nights I lie next to you and think that I am the luckiest woman in the world." Inside: "And other nights I think that I should never ever make chili again." It sums up our relationship really well.
I NEED this card...must find it.
TMI - I don't generally have gas much, so ours is mostly a one-sided flatulent relationship.
For those of you with baby rabies, though, take heart - I can currently clear DH from the room - It's wonderful payback, even if it only lasts 9 months.
