My driveway had over 12 inches of snow it, probably close to 15 inches. Of course this was the weekend my H went out of town and we don't own a snowblower.
I shoveled half of the driveway for me to get out. He can do the rest, lol.
GP related: I am having the worse cramps ever, they are worse then any AF cramps I have ever had. I believe I am at 2DPO. (but I didn't temp this month so who knows)
Not GP related: I am back at work. (OOT) I came back to a very welcoming (sp?) manager, he told me that I am never going home again as they have yet to find a relief that even compares to me. But he will be out of luck on Dec 23rd when I go home for my 2 weeks off. But he made my day yesterday with all his good comments, and he is trying to bribe me with an endless supply of my favorite chocolate if I stay! This may make my weight loss plan hard to stick to.
GP related: I am super stressing out over what I will do if I get pg this month or next, even though --odds are-- it won't even be an issue. My parents live far away, and I really can't imagine not telling them in person. So I have been concocting plans for fake visits. If I get pg this cycle, I could fly up... but DH probably wouldn't come with, which I am ok with, but idk if he would feel left out... If I get pg the NEXT cycle, then I am totally screwed, bec my mom is coming to visit like a week after I'd get bfp, and I don't want to tell her BEFORE my dad, but then I'd have to NOT TELL HER while she's visiting me! I don't drink with her, so that's not an issue, but HOW could I keep that a secret?! ...the amount of time I'm spending stressing over this is ridiculous!
Had a lot of packages scheduled to arrive this weekend. We were away and asked my uncle to let them in. He took the packages to his house. My pre-seed arrived. I pray to god they come in a no descriptive package. I will just about DIE if it says lube on the packaging!

The weather here is so freaking annoying. It was 85 yesterday, today the low is 33. And our heat is broken (found out we had a gas leak, eek! so it had to be shut off until it can be fixed) We use the heat maybe (maybe) 5 times all winter but I am hoping tonight is not one of the nights we need it. I can bundle up for bed but the idea of getting in the shower when it's cold in the house sucks. I have been away from the north too long, I'm not conditioned anymore.
My brother asked me yesterday to be my niece's godmother, I am excited!

LOL! Where did you order from? I know when I bought mine from drugstore.com it just came in a drugstore.com box, you had no idea what was inside.

GP Related: As of this minute I am in the "don't give a fuck" camp. Just completely burnt out with work, and starting to get sick, so the idea of sex just makes me exhausted, lol.
I am going to have sex during FW regardless, but I am not really working too hard at it this month. YAY if it happens, but I'm not temping or doing opks...not with Christmas, travel, and again, my work right now.
2013 hits, I'm sure I'll be back at it with vigor. But for right now, I cannot put the extra effort in.
Not GP-related: I HATE being sick and I never ever get sick but when I do, it's usually like a raging hellish cold...I'm scurrrrred! Also, I've chosen a luxe mani pedi as my last bfn gift. Thanks to those who made suggestions!
My DH was hysterical laughing. I got annoyed with him and sent him to pick up the packages today. He wanted to call them to ask if he needed the SUV for large boxes. I said I don't care about any large boxes just pick up the damn lube!!

Gp- We decided to hold off on iui till next year. We want to pay down some more debt before we spend a couple grand on the procedure.
I am now applying for jobs since we decided to hold off on iui please keep fingers crossed that I land a good one! I need to give the house a food cleaning today. And I have apparently been in an eat anything mode lately.
GP related: hoping I O this month even though its my 1st cycle off BC. Temping this month but probably no OPKs yet. DH is super excited to TTC, he talks about it everyday
NGP: we are going to see Cirque in Philly this weekend with ILs family - should be fun, I just need something to wear.
I am on CD20 in my first cycle off of BC. I am overly fascinated with temp tracking and analyzing my chart. I think I Oed this weekend because there was a big drop and then a big increase but I didn't get the crosshairs on FF. Do you need to be a VIP for that or do I just need to be patient?

You need three days after the rise before you get that, so probably tomorrow or Tuesday.
GP related: Today is CD2 of cycle 8. I went to make my annual appointment with my OB/GYN for February or March last night, and noticed she's not taking appointments between early January and late April. That's right, EVEN MY FRIGGIN OB/GYN IS PREGNANT. Ugh. So rather than waiting until late April or finding a new doctor, I made my appointment for January. Although we'll only be moving onto cycle 9 or officially trying by that point, we were NTNP beginning in March 2012 so hopefully that's enough of a history to run some tests.
Non GP related: I tweaked my back carrying a bag of Almond Bark yesterday :/ Yes, melting chocolate. I think I need to start lifting weights!
I'm contemplating taking a break from temping this coming month. The last five cycles have been pretty textbook and I between CD16-19.
I just worry I won't like the lack of control, but I feel like I need to relax.
this is where I'm at. I have O'd CD 14 or 15 every month, I know I'm doing it. but yet, paranoia steps in and says-but what if the doctor needs my charts?! what if I have an off month and I don't know what's happening?!
well, i'll live. in both of those scenarios. also, I don't sleep well when I am anticipating a temp rise/temp drop because I'm nervous I'll sleep too late. Sleep = more important that knowing my bbt at this point.
Let me reiterate how glorious it is to not give a shit this cycle...and I'm only on like CD 8, or something... Just have-a the sex, and start anew in 2013.

I'm freezing. The kids' house where I nanny always has the thermostat set to 69, so I usually bring a sweater or sweatshirt with me, and I forgot. I've got one of the kiddo's blankies around my shoulders.
Oh, and I still have not started Christmas shopping. :-P
Honey, we must love in similar climates. We are having high 70'a in the day and 30's at night here insouthern Arizona. Brrrr! Of course, it was low 30'a this morning when I got to work and I've seen at least the kids wearing flip flips!
GP randoms: I'm feeling excited to be in the beginning of a new cycle (CD 8). I am in a "it will happen when it happens"mindset, although I'm still temping and such, but not stressing so much about ttc.
Not GP: my 14 year old dog is on the decline and I think he's not going too be around much longer. It makes me very sad, but I'm coming to terms with it. I hate seeing him suffer.
I love when my H is home (he works 3rd shift, so we aren't home at the same time a lot), but he throws off my chart when he is home, because he is so hot to sleep next to. My temp has been at least a degree higher on the days that we sleep in the same bed.
I only buy Christmas gifts for 8 people and I already spent over 1k. I want to keep shopping. I love buying gifts!
Oh, another random... because my cycles are somewhat irregular and I have yet to pinpoint O with either temping or OPKs, DH thinks our new plan should be sex EOD all month except when I have my period. I'm exhausted already! I'm going to at least wait a few days after AF takes a hike, because I have a feeling I won't be the only one who tires out, and I don't want that to happen BEFORE O! lol
I got the package. It had no descriptor on the packaging saying it was lube. Thank the good lord. We did bust out laughing when we opened it and found a temporary tattoo that said Baby Dust with some glitter on it. DH asked if I wanted him to put it on for good luck.
