Re: Say anything... again!

  • Houston is such a small town. I'm so glad I put more than 30 seconds of thought into my outfit tonight before we went out to dinner. I was taking Tracey into the bathroom at the Heights Berryhill and a guy was coming out of the mens room so I just held the door so he could come out. He smiled and thanked me and I said hello--then it hit me! He was what could be best described as the rebound guy after I was dumped by my exbf 6 years ago. I'm pretty sure he was just sleeping his way through match.com and he may still be at it. He was with a group that looked family-like and he was not with a girl. I'm so happy things worked out the way they did!

  • Is it just me, or is the later your period, the worse it is?  I was a 28-29 cycler until about 6 months ago.  Now it comes when it wants.  This one started two weeks late (yesterday) and I am just so blah - crazy cramps, heavy flow.  Makes me want to get the ablation thing done.  

     

  • I had the strangest dream last night.

    DH was trying to convince me to quit my job to start a non-profit to benefit young girls based somehow on pancakes.

    I can only imagine that this was brought on by Tori insisting she have pancakes to go with her bacon from out BLT's last night.

    And maybe I should not have mixed my glass of wine with that tylonel PM.

  • I found a house last night that I LOVE.  But it's $75k out of our budget Crying  We've been searching for the perfect house for almost 3 years and now that I've found it, it stings that we can't afford it.

    maybe you could have your realtor check its history - how long it's been on the market, have they dropped the price, etc. maybe there's some negotiation wiggle room?

  • Well, all of my blood work and the PCOS panel all came back normal.  The only thing out of range was my cholesterol which is just on the high side of normal.  I need to go back to grilling everything and avoiding any and everything fried.  

    I guess I should be happy that everything looks normal, but if something was off then maybe it could be fixed and we could get a BFP.   I guess I just have to wait and see how my test tomorrow turns out....

    I'm glad your blood work came back normal, I wouldn't wish these pills on anyone.  And remember, they don't always work, so they wouldn't necessarily "fix" the problem.  My first cycle on them has officially been stamped as a failure.  But I understand your frustration & I hope it doesn't sound like I'm belittling your feelings. I'm just frustrated today too.  I really hope you get a BFP soon.

    Good luck tomorrow!

    I wish there were, but it was just listed yesterday ( I'm a HAR stalker). The best I can do is keep an eye on it and hope no one else wants it so the buyer can drop the price. On a different note, I'm going to see HP7.2 tonight BY MYSELF!! I'm giddy at the thought of solitude!

    If I didn't know her I would think it was lame.  If I knew her personality and it matched I would like it.

    I would think it was my next door neighbor, except she's 40 something now.  To her credit, she pulls off all her different looks remarkably well.  I'd look like my stylist screwed up.  Big Smile

  • Anyone want a toddler?  He's cute, has a very large vocabulary and comes with all the necessary equipment, however, he is cross, contrary and going through some sort of "needs anger management" phase.

  • So the same girl last week with the scantily dressed FB pics apparently has a new profile pic. Flipping the bird.

    *sigh* this is going to be fun when I see the kids.

    ditto charlotte....and the same goes for those feather things. i really want one/some but fear it'll throw me in that lame/desperate look category.

    I am rocking some feathers right now!  And one is hot pink. LOL.

    I'm not the least bit worried what everyone else thinks about it.

    As for the hot pink streak.  I wouldn't bat an eye at it.  I personally would like a teal streak but that's not acceptable here at work.

    Will you say something to them?  I thought you weren't since it came in as anonymous (or at least the scantily clad pics did).

     

  • Yesterday I spent 7.5 hours on the phone with Dell tech support trying to fix the computer I got a month ago. It is still not fixed, they're calling me back today.

    If I could get off the phone long enough to look for a hammer I would beat it to pieces and mail it back to Dell in separate envelopes.

    Oh my gosh, they deserve to be drawn and quartered.  That's completely ridiculous. 

    Since becoming a mom I've become extremely unforgiving of people who waste my time.  I usually want to murder them.

  • i feel like my family doesn't like me... or thinks i am too busy for them... or something.

    they all live in cypress.  my sister's b-day was yesterday, and before the weekend i had called to ask my mom if we were doing anything.  no, mom + aunts were going to biloxi for the weekend and they might go to dinner monday for my sis's b-day.

    i asked her to let me know, said i would really like to do something.  told her to please call me on monday if anything was happening.

    no call.  no nothin'.

    now pics are all over facebook from last night when my mom and aunts and uncles and cousins all went out to dinner for my sister's b-day.  it made me happy that the did something nice for her, but i miss my family and really would have liked to have been there... especially since DH ended up working until like 10 last night (and was on their side of town) and i was sitting in my kitchen all by myself missing my family.

     

    ok, pity party has ended.  i just needed to get that out.

    I was having some pretty murderous thoughts yesterday. I was lucky enough that both boys took long (and simultaneous) naps yesterday and DH was home for part of that time. But it still sucked.

    At one point the Dell guy was on a conference call wtih the McAfee guy and they were fighting. They were yelling at each other and they were both having a hard time understanding the other. Eventually McAfee hung up on Dell, so Dell called him back and there was more yelling. It would have been funnier if I hadn't been on the phone for like 5 hours at that point.
