Re: Whatever You Want Wednesday!
Brianna, strep is no fun. Hopefully you can stop it now before it gets too bad.
Leslie, I like the "didn't know you were so interested in our sex lives" but then again my family is a bunch of prudes so it would make them all blush and shut up real quick.
I want it to rain, rain, rain and rain some more. I actually miss the rain. I wouldn't care if it rained all week/weekend. I want the cooler weather, things to not look like death, and the fires to stop burning!
DH bought ALDS tickets for the Rangers. We have 4 tickets to game 1 at home. Hope we can actually go to the game now!
It's raining here, just a bit.

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on with Target? I see Yahoo blurbs about something but haven't had time to read them.
Leslie, I prayed for you this morning. I prayed that this would be the month!
But if it wasn't that you would have peace about it. I would just smile slyly and say something like even though you haven't conceived, it's not from lack of trying, heh.
Oh Bri, that doesn't sound good, sorry. Mel and Ben have both been sick with sinus crud. We have alot of people out at work too. I don't want to be sick for Vegas so I am trying to stay away from people and washing my hands like crazy.
Dana woo hoo, so jealous!

Just do it!
Tell them that you did it doggy style and got a dog instead of a baby. I can think a couple other, make-them-blush lines but I know I'd never have the guts to use them... but if you want to take it there, lemme know.
I've got nothing today. I want it to rain too though. I was hoping it would while I was walking Crispin this morning!
*raises hand*
Well, I have.

You are too sweet Stephie!!
Haha.. what do you think? I'm not even talking about the girl with all the questions. There are only a handful of people there and they all seem to not like each other.
Sad.
I still check over there--right or wrong I feel obligated to help where I can. Plus I just like to anyway.
I really wanted to tell the goldfish girl on the reception board yesterday to just get some candles and call it a freakin' day.

Just do it!
Welcome to my life!
Bio
You are! Thank you.
To be completely bare bones with you girls as I generally am: I am back and forth on wanting success these next couple of cycles. I know this sounds ungrateful but now that I have booked a flight to Vegas and put the plan into motion to train for a 10k, I kind of feel like I want to enjoy both of those things to the fullest.
Then again, I almost feel like making these plans is a defense mechanism for myself. I am telling myself, "see you didn't want to be pregnant anyway!" Kind of like how I always told myself I was 100% okay with being child-free, I now know that this was a way of protecting myself from all of this.
This is the most Debbie Downer post. Please know I am not down about this all the time. 99% of the time I am great and living life. I do understand it will happen when it does. Whether that is this month or in a year or three years, we will be parents and the timing of it all will be awesome and as it was meant to be.
In other news - I love you girls but I would rather walk into the baby shower naked than say anything so snarky to my relatives. They are old nosy ladies and I would get so much family flack for saying any of the suggestions, I think I am just going to have to extend my threshold for fake nice.
Heh, Ok, I just realized what Tiffany was talking about. Yikes.
Leslie, I am glad to hear that that is your attitude. I always just want to say, go, live your life, make your plans and have sex with your husband whenever you feel like it and when it happens, great. But I also need to remember that that is easy for me to say and not necessarily the right advice. I will just hope that you find the balance that is right for you.

I watched an episode of Rachel Zoe once where they were at Missoni. Interesting stuff. I didn't realize it is all family operated. This is the first that I heard they were carrying it. I'm late
womp womp.
Leslie - I'd turn it around on them and say something shitty such as " Well, what positions do you suggest? "
Angie's & Anna's comments almost made me spit out my drink.
Thanks Stephie. You are too sweet.
Re: TK - It seems so slow over there and you are right - there seems to be more in-fighting than before. Also, for those in the Knot-know - what happened to N&M and K&A? I haven't seen a N&M post in a thousand years and K&A in some time. Did they GBCK or just vanish? Or am I just missing them? I generally only check over there when you girls mention it, so I am probably just missing them.
My boss just gave me part of her burrito from Chipotle. Woohoo! It was way better than what I brought! :-p
Leslie- Is your DH feeling better today?
~TTC Buddies with akcrrr and amandaf6383~
Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
N&M came back once or twice after her wedding but never did reviews or shared her pics or anything. I hate when Knotties do that! I just stalked her photog's blog but nothing--that photog is terrible at keeping up her blog. She was my second choice and I'm glad I didn't pick her.
Kendall unfriended everyone on FB and disappeared after the vendor sticky thing.

I was bored over the weekend and yesterday when I got home. After reading two posts by one person, I felt like I was the van driver in Home Alone. "Does this van have automatic transmission? Does it get good gas mileage? Do you know that the McAlister's are going to France?" Ugh. I quote Prof. Science: make brain hurty hurt.
Did you see the girl who wanted to do the Alice in Wonderland themed wedding and wanted to put LIVE bunnies on her table? Yeah, that was TK gold.
Bunnies on the table!
You could always use this tactic... then they'd be so embarrassed they wouldn't even ask??? Kidding, I swear. It just made me laugh
It is freezing in my office today. I wish I was working from home - I totally would have played in the rain we just got!
Also, I have a big deadline tomorrow, and another on 10/15. My boss told me the following week to take a day or two without worrying about vacation time, just don't come in, or show up late, or whatever. So, what did I do? I scheduled two doctors' appointments for that Monday. I needed to, but still, I'm annoyed that that's how I'm spending my "free" days off! Ugh, being an adult isn't very fun.
I'm sorry you have to deal with the questions, I know how bad it sucks. My family knows about our IF struggles so I don't really have to come up with things to say. But when people are really pestering about it, sometimes I'm just honest and tell them we are dealing with infertility, and that usually shuts them up quickly. Other things I have used are "when my body start's working like it's supposed to", "when God decides the time is right" and "hopefully soon".
Good luck!

Man! That Missoni stuff is now on eBay is going for insane amounts.
I love you so much! I read that first paragraph in your voice and could just feel the agitation about being robbed of a good look at the post-WR goods.
Sarah - He is doing well. He got a shot at the doctor yesterday which helped and he ate breakfast this morning, so I assume he feels much better. I am crossing everything I have that it was food poisioning. I have a 5k this Saturday morning and would like to PR it and have a really good chance of doing so. If I get a stomach virus I probably won't even be able to start the race, much less PR it.
Kendall is still friends with a few people. According to one of them, she deleted her TK acct.
N&M told someone here (I forget who) that she never posted anything really about her wedding because she was afraid that we would all ruin her wedding by crashing it or calling her vendor. She did have a problem with her alcohol count but she brought it up a month after the fact. No way to help her now!
Crap, I was just at Target and they had quite a bit of random odds and ends left. Maybe I should have bought some and put it on Ebay.
They said on KKITM that Target put out a press release saying that there is a lot more coming and they have plenty of stock. So these people paying $$$ for them now could just wait and get them in a couple of weeks at the original Target prices.
Haha, that would be awesome. Maybe people in other countries are buying since they may not have Target?
I was not impressed with what I saw. It looked like regular Target stuff with the zig zag design. It was pretty expensive for the quality, I think.
I was just at the one in Grapevine and they had some stuff. I wasn't very impressed either and the shoes liked like they were for little girls--very small.
Yeh, I'm just not really crazy about it. I could buy one item, maybe, but if I had more than one thing with those crazy zig zags I might go crazy.
Apparently it did rain on our side, too. I was just in a 3 hour meeting (with no windows) and missed every single drop.
I lurk!
That girl I know is just trying to figure things out, but man she's just out the gate with questions. Didn't search or anything. Also, her questions are little strange from the average questions we normally get. I can't fault someone for coming on before they are engaged since I did that.
I don't know what the final straw was for K&A, but she did delete her account. I luckily just saw the drama from the outside and I'm glad for the most part it's over.
