I had bloodwork this AM. It was one of those labs where I just had to roll out of bed and go straight there. So I was bummed out in sweats, no makeup, hair up in a messy ponytail. I stopped to get gas, coffee and bread at the store on my way home. I was not planning on running into anyone I knew..... on my way into the store I heard someone call my name. When I turned around it was one of my college teammates that I hadnt seen in 6-7 years. She just moved into town here which is awesome and I'm super excited! She was nice and said "oh you look great" except I'm sure she was being nice because I looked like I had just rolled out of bed.....and had! It was a pretty good start to my day none the less, and we grabbed coffee together real quick.

I took my dogs running 1 at a time today. Partially because I got more mileage in that way, and it gave them one on one attention with me. I was running the trail behind our house, and finishing up with the GSD, the last one I took out. As I came up the hill towards my house, my other 2 had let themselves out of the house, then out the back gate, and were running free. The good thing is they came straight to find us, and followed us home, but those darn dogs! They probably took a run around the neighborhood before they found me, knowing them. I'm glad they knew where to find me! I've had enough excitement for one day.

Alright, your turn!

Flameful? How about that. There's a poster on ML who insisted a while back that her H doesn't find any women other than her attractive and today is saying that she "rarely" finds men other than her H attractive. I call either BS or WTF on this. Seriously, I love my H, I am attracted to him and I know that that's mutual. Also, I am attracted to other men (for instance, Eli Manning!) and he is attracted to other women. I can't imagine being with somebody who finds me and only me attractive and I can't imagine finding only one person attractive.

And, let's see, what else do I have?

At my appointment on Monday I had to schedule a lab appointment. So I went to the check out desk and the lady working was like, "Can I help you?"  So I said, "I need to schedule a lab appointment for April 4th." And she goes, "Take a seat, I'll be with you as soon as I can." And then made me wait. For five minutes. While she chatted with the woman working at the check in desk. ^o)

I was irrationally annoyed.

Also, while we were waiting, my H saw the "Most Improved Customer Service" awards on the office wall from 2009, 2010 and 2011 and he said very loudly, "Well, makes you wonder where they started from!" lol.

[G22]

I adjusted the title for you lola. I knew I was missing something. Haha

How frustrating about the appt desk. The lady checking me in for my ultrasound yesterday was on the phone the entire. That's not what was irritating though. I could tell it was definitely a social call, not work related. It wouldn't have bothered me if it was work related.

[degal99]

At least they came running for you, gumby! One of my indoor cats got out when I went for a walk one day. Luckily, she ran right up to the door when I got back about 15 minutes later.

Story Time/AW Time - I'm super proud of my commitment to getting to the gym the last 3 weeks. I've been going 3-4 days a week, and have continued to use the treadmill at home on my off days (currently walking and typing!). Being diagnosed with PCOS and having a slightly elevated A1c and a family history of Type 2 diabetes has really kicked my butt into gear and started the weight loss journey again. About a year and a half ago I lost about 20lbs (though I was aiming for another 30), then gained 10 back, so I know I can do it, I just need to do it! Plus, I'm really hoping losing weight will help with my wonky periods.

[lola]

Way to go degal99.

I always feel like I have really flameful things to confess, and then I forget them! I stink at this. I need to keep a running list I think.

I'm off for drinks with a girlfriend but I'll try to think of more for later.

[mae141]

G22 At least they found you. They just missed you and wanted to be with you!

degal99 That's really great about going to the gym and using the treadmill. I can never get myself moving.

Here's my random whine: I finally entered the 21st century and got a smartphone. Two days later, I dropped it on the sidewalk and cracked the screen big time. It still works, but I am so mad at myself! Grrr.

[G22]

mae141 I just got a smart phone this fall for the first time. I just started using H's old one he'd had for the last 3 years when he upgraded. It survived that long for him. It didn't last 1 month with me before I dropped in on the driveway and shattered the screen. I got a heavier duty one after that and so far its survived many falls. I'm notorious for dropping my phones on water...you don't want to know how many have succumbed to water in the last few years....

degal99 Awesome job! Motivation to just move my butt out the door is the hardest part. Your doing great!

[BNL2]

Great Job degal99!

I have a confession: I got super drunk on Saturday to the point of puking for hours. I'm so embarrassed that I drank that much at my age. I had to confess in order to get past my shame.

My random is that I'm on springbreak this week and have spent 3-6 hours per day lying on the couch and diddling around the internet. I go between feeling like a loser and never wanting this week to end.

[degal99]

Thanks ladies! It feels really good to get moving again, and I figure, it's a lot easier without a baby so I should get it in now!

BNL2, I told my husband I want to get wasted as least once more before I get pregnant.  I hope to avoid the vomiting part, but I can count the number of times I have been drunk on 2 hands, so I don't feel too bad about it.  I hope your hangover wasn't too bad though.   :drink:

[BNL2]

degal99 my hangover was brutal and lasted 2 days. I've been known to party way too hard but I thought I left those days in my early 20's, I was wrong. lol.

Me and you both! I actually threw up Saturday night and Sunday morning. Then on Monday and Tuesday my stomach was burning so badly I thought I had an ulcer. I am much improved now and I had an absolute blast but geez why did I do that myself?!? I blame being away from alcohol for the last year+.

I am pissy that the weather is going to be blah this weekend. It's 75 today and then in the 50's and rainy this weekend. This is flameful because there are so many others who are still in places with snow on the ground. You all can brag to me when it's in the 70's-80's in August where you are while it's 100+ here.

I also apologize for being MIA lately. I just feel like I don't have anything to say. We aren't doing treatment cycles, we aren't even tracking ovulation. I only know my CD because I am putting my AF into the FF app. I just feel like I am not even really *trying* with any effort to conceive.

Also - this is really random, but send up some good ju-ju for my BFF. She is in her late twenties and hasn't had a boyfriend or even a date in almost a year. She met someone this weekend and they are going out next week. I really want to see her happy, so I am so hopeful this guy is a good one.

[lola]

I hate hate hate being hung over. It might be my least favorite thing ever. lol. I drank like I was 22 a few years ago, and I was sick for DAYS. It was awful. Now I have to limit myself to like, 2 drinks. I suck!

I feel bla today. It's cold, I am sick of winter and winter clothes, and I'm just generally in a bla mood. I hate this, because I tend to be a pretty good mood person!

[berbles]

I haven't been around much, for the same reasons as discogranny.

I do have a somewhat flameful. We're not actively TTC right now, and I still need to go back to the doc for a sonohysterogram to see if the surgery was successful (I.e., to confirm whether the septum has successfully resected or if it's trying to regrow). And we're still working through some issues in our marriage (though it's going well). But we aren't using protection. It would be just my luck to get pg this month, since I don't want a December baby, lol.

[ilovecandy]

I haven't been around much for the reasons disco states and because of the traveling. We are home now.

I wanted to kill my H yesterday sometimes he just asks stupid questions and doesn't use common sense. Luckily we survived the trip home. Now I need to go grocery shopping.

[G22]

This is why we need more non TTC posts!! No one wants to talk about it all the time. Its depressing.

Possibly flameful (to some): I have never been drunk in my life. I've never even drank enough to have a buzz. My anxiety is worse with health stuff, so I never wanted to purposely make myself be sick.

Drunk, sick and anxious sounds like an awful combination!

[Deleted]

I haven't been around much either. Felt bad since all I feel like I do over here is bitch about MH :-p. We aren't pursuing treatments. Honestly, I don't know that we will (I have beaucoup reservations about using donor sperm). We really haven't been talking about IF lately, since it kept devolving into a fight.

Things have been better this week. He said he had a good therapy session last night and we go back to the marriage counselor next Friday. I'm actively working on my job search and getting involved in things I find meaningful.

I'm looking forward to having a me weekend, hubs is headed out of town to visit friends.

I'm sure the circumstances are different, but H and I had some really tense weeks last month.  Then he went out of town for a bachelor party and came back a different person.  He has been kind of awesome since.  The time apart was good for both of us.  (hug) (hug2)

[discogranny]

So I am glad I am not alone. I felt pretty guilty about lurking and clamming up. I always feel like Misery Mary when I answer questions in the TTC/IF related posts because almost every situation hasn't ended well for me. I worry about bringing the more hopeful girls down even though I know that's silly.

With that being said, I have another random. Things have been extremely stressful at work and I have pretty bad burnout. My boss just told me to take a free day off tomorrow as a "mental health day." It's a silly reward but it's nice to have a bonus day off that I didn't expect.

[lola]

I also have pretty much nothing positive to say about TTC and am perfectly happy to participate in a non-TTC post!

I'd give my baby toes for a cup of coffee right now. That's how bad I need a coffee.

Also, not wearing any panties because I don't have any clean ones. Yuup.

OH! AND ALSO! I love the word panties. SO much more than underwear. I know people hate it, but I refuse to give it up!

[murdock]

I'm so glad that everyone seems open to talking about more stuff!

I haven't been around either, but I've been drowning under work and grad school.

I can only GBCN from my phone because my work has decided that anything other than a news site or whatever is to be tracked. Nutters.

[murdock]

Lol, Panties!!!

[changedname]

My random - I got an iphone last week. I still cannot type on it. omg it takes me like 1 hour to write a text.

Vent - the weekend I am supposedly having my ER is turning into the fucking social weekend of the year. I have been invited to 3 parties that weekend. wth. I am rsvping yes to them all just in case I can go. I will actually be disappointed if I can't go so now hoping my ER is few days later/earlier.

[ilovecandy]

Oh I saw Argo earlier this week.

[murdock]

ooo ilovecandy (is that I how I do that? I just type it or do I have to something else? anyone know? TIA)

Argo was really good, I hope to show it to my classes in June. They have no clue about that stuff.

[bronxgirl]

I loved Argo. I thought it deserved its awards.

My random:  I went to the podiatrist today and it was the first time in nearly a year that I had a medical appointment where I got to keep my pants on.  yay for wearing pants.

I don't mind the word, but H hates it.  So I call his boxers panties.  It annoys him so much.  I love it!

I am sick of TTC stuff too.  I feel like we can take the next step in treatment, but there are so many unknowns that I just want to put it off.  But that also means I don't have much to say about it.

Neither H or I drink.  I have been so bored lately that I just want to buy a bunch of alcohol and get wasted.

Yes! I have been wanting to see it but H didn't want to see it (citing depredation of work and home). So my dad rented it one might when we were there an we watched it together.

That must have been so weird! lol!

I saw Argo on a plane a few weeks ago - loved it! I tried to watch Lincoln on the plane too but damn it was sooooooo dry and boring. Sorry Lincoln.
