Third Person Thursday
Stacey went to the eye doctor yesterday and needs an updated prescription for glasses to be worn nearly all the time. Stacey can't wear contacts because she has special sensitive eyes that dry out and get painful. Stacey hates wearing glasses because she looks like a body double for Mary Katherine Gallagher when she wears glasses. She's not joking.
Stacey is still worn the heck out for the weekend and needs a nap already at 8:30 in the morning!
TTC since April 2009 ~ Unexplained IF
3 IUI's later....EDD 6.28.12
Re: Third Person Thursday
Shelley needs to call her eye doctor today because she has 1 more pair of contacts and needs more.
Shelley is sad about today being Cinqo de Mayo because every year she goes out for mexican and margaritas and tequila shots and she can't enjoy the margaritas or tequila shots.
Shelley doesn't want to be at work today and is thankful that at the moment all she has for work to get done is 1 issue to resolve and a new report to create.
Wendy thought she got a good nights sleep but is still so exhausted today.
Alicia really needs to see this picture of Stacey.
Alicia is feeling pretty good today. Daisy slept through the night and didn't puke again, YAY. Oh and Daisy's poop is back to being hard (Alicia was worried because it had been super soft even after she was done her antibiotics for giardia)
Alicia might have a busy night of projects. Her husband is in serious kick butt gear since we only have so much time before the little beav comes!
Laura is tired and her tata's are sore, she thinks AF is on her way.
Laura thinks Shelly can at least have a virgin margarita...
Laura is glad that it is warm and sunny today.
Stacey's BFF found this picture in her scrapbook and it makes Stacey die laughing!
Enjoy!
ETA: sorry so blurry - Stacey's friend sent it to her via cell phone pic....
Haha, Whitney does think that Stacey looks a bit like Mary Katherine Gallagher but she thinks she look cute.
Whitney is treating herself to a manicure today since she can not partake in traditional cinco de mayo festivities.

Alicia loves the pic and thinks if Stacey finds the right pair of glasses then she won't look like MKG. Plus Alicia knows that Stacey has better fashion sense
Alicia also finds it funny because she used to LOVE imitating MKG all the time. In fact occasionally she still does
Stacey thanks Alicia because she thinks MKG is not attractive so when people say she looks like her, she gets slightly offended!
Stacey still might, on occasion, imitate MKG if given the opportunity.....and the booze.
Wendy thinks this screams siggy pic. LMAO
"Look, look with your special eyes" . Please tell Summer you've seen that 1800 contacts commercial...
Summer is hopeful about a seemingly perfect position very close to home she is going to apply to tonight.
Alicia says Stacey is very welcome. Alicia also doesn't even need booze to imitate MKG
Summer is nodding her head in agreement with Pooks! Too funny, Summer does agree Stacey looks like her in this picture but not in other pictures so Summer doesn't think Stacey should be offended
Courtney needs to be a much better record keeper - she spent the whole morning unearthing pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements and is annoyed.
Courtney is excited that Riley has gone 5 nights in a row without nursing, even if R did wake up and play in her crib for almost an hour the middle of last night. Courtney got up and was watching TV because she assumed R would start crying eventually, but R went back to sleep all on her own.
Courtney wishes AF would start already. She keeps thinking they're going to start TTC this cycle, but really it's not until next month.
Shaina loves her job, really she loves doing something that directly impacts our country, but for the love of God, can Shaina get a competent team lead? Shaina is tired of training people who don't understand how things work and if Shaina had a few more years under her belt, would be applying for the job herself.
Shaina had a personal yoga class last night b/c she was the only one to show up. It was AMAZING!
Shaina is not looking forward to spend the next 3 days painting. Shaina wants her DH to take her to see Fast Five, which she has told DH, yet he doesn't get it!

Teresa went and bought a night gaurd last night to hopefully help with her teeth pain because she clenches her teeth at night while she sleeps. So far the tooth that was bothering her feels a bit better today, but she is worried it is moving some of her front teeth. Ehh they are already not so straight since she had her braces off 12yrs ago.
Teresa is hoping the dentist won't cost an arm and a leg when she goes. She was supposed to start heavy savings this month.
Teresa has no idea why the font in her other post is all off. She has seen that before when you C&P from word, but she typed it straight in the nest. Very weird.

Brie hopes the new job works out for Summer.
Brie thinks that Shaina's personal yoga class sounds awesome!
Brie is totally exhausted. And super nervous for this residency. She and her team have prepared as much as they can, but Brie is still nervous that it's not enough. Brie is totally afraid of being up until 3am every night. Brie imagines that she might be overreacting.
Brie is ready for a break between classes- only 2 weeks until she gets 1 week off. Brie is not however ready for June- 3 out of 4 weekends she and Drew are going to weddings. Sheesh.
Brie could use a nap, and is starting to wish she'd taken tomorrow off work.

Shelley is sending vibes to Summer towards the new job she is applying for.
Dana is kinda bummed that the sellers of the house Dana and Andrew put a bid on turned down our offer.
Dana is excited to find a better house now.
Dana wishes she was starting TTC this month, but looks like next summer will be when we start.
Dana and Andrew have been looking at baby names for a few nights now. Dana loves that Andrew is so freaking cute when he mentions a new name.

So is Mar.
Mar also desperately wants to clean her house, but is exhaused after working 6 days straight and her fat ankles are angry at her. It hurts to waddle to the bathroom, so she's staring at the clutter and attempting to use "the force" to clean it up. So far, no success.

Summer is sorry for Dana not getting the house but knows there's probably a better one!
Summer is bummed because her MIL knows someone at the company that had the open position and asked her MIL to tell her contact Summer was applying and her MIL did and the contact said that the recruiter told the contact that they already had someone in mind but that Summer should go ahead and apply just in case. Summer figured this was the case because it always is in HR jobs but still was hopeful. She went ahead and applied and will hope that maybe the other person falls through or they will see Summer is better qualified!
