Thank goodness it's Friday! It's been a long week at school. The kids have been pretty good, there's just so much to do and I'm exhausted. Plus, it's going to be a fun filled weekend so I'm ready to get it started!
We're going to a farm to table 6 course dinner at a farm tomorrow night with 2 other couples so I can't wait for that. It's a fund raiser for a farm to table restaurant opening in our town. They've already bought 25 half pints of homemade jam off me so I figured I better support them. Then Sunday we're going to my parents house for a BBQ and pool party before they close the pool for the year. I'm sure we'll also be discussing my brother's wedding in detail (he gets married in 3 weeks!)

No big weekend plans. DH is working Saturday, so I might do more marathon cooking to restock the freezer so we have healthy choices on hand and get less tempted to blow our diet. I'm mostly looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

Not much this week has kicked my butt! I was at school last night for back to school night and got home at 9:00. Getting my hair cut tomorrow thinking about a long bob with a slight invert. I may see if their nail tech is there and splurge on a pedi too.

So ready for the long weekend! Tonight, I have a birthday dinner for one of my friends, tomorrow we leave early for the Cape. H's friends have this huge property and they throw a big cookout and have a bocce tournament every year. Better get my arm warmed up! We'll spend the night there then leave early on Sunday to head back home so I can teach my class at 10:30. Then we're going down to H's family beach house and spending the day at the beach and night there. Monday is a cookout at my sister's, which is on the way home from the beach so it works out. Busy busy!
TGIF! We're having people over for a "game day" on Sunday. I still have to clean my house. I just am having a mental block and I can't do it. MH will have to help me tomorrow.
Other than that, we're doing nothing. I need to go food shopping and I might try to throw a meal plan together so I can stay on track and try to lose some weight.
TGIF!! I'm so glad it's Friday. 3 day weekend, then 3 day work week next week, and 4 day week after that. Hopefully I'll get out early tonight and there will be minimal traffic so we can head out to my brother's early. I can't wait to spend the weekend with them, haven't really seen them since his wedding early June.
daisyfay25 and cheyenne, do you both have monitoring this morning? I hope it goes/went well!
I have been on the phone all morning gah. between my teavana order from yesterday that didn't go through, to ordering internet for the new place, to talking to housing about how much money is needed at the lease signing. Ugh. I am going to take my moms car in for repair todaay (she broke her passenger side mirror). I also need to call lowes to talk about scheduling my washer and dryer.

Hope everyone has a fun holiday weekend! No plans here except going to PA on Monday to see family. Today I need to go to the store and I'd like to do some cooking for the week ahead.
There is a poster on GetP that drives me up a wall with her impatience.
There was just a little cat that wondered into my yard. My cat was not happy - his tail fluffed up and he was running around to all the windows to get a better look.

DH and I carpooled today because we have acupuncture after work. Unfortunately, he had an early meeting, which meant I got here super early.
And then I realized that because Monday is a holiday, they'll send us home early today. And I'm stuck here! Even if I had my car, it would hardly be enough time to drive home and come back for acu. This was a terrible flaw in my appointment scheduling!
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

The first rule of TTTC club is never go to GetP. Of course that rule appears to now apply to ML as well. My lurking tends to focus on CEP lately. They're great with @ warnings, and also had links to great articles about Ferguson and Israel/Palestine. Mostly I just hang out here, though
You are totally right. I definitely need to stop lurking over there!
Oh, speaking of acupuncture, how did it go Muddled?
It was good. I guess? I have no idea. The whole concept is so bizarre. You lie there with needles all over your body and think about... what? They didn't hurt going in and I wasn't even aware of most of them, but one at a time, they would make themselves known. First it was the one in the middle of my forehead. Then one on my foot. Then the one below my belly button. I did notice some soreness after they were out.
I will go back. Cumulative effect and all and I'm trying to keep an open mind (which can be difficult when you feel somewhat hopeless). It can't hurt, after all, and the place I went to is community, so it's well priced.
lol. She asked me for more details on infertility- wanted to know the cause. Ha. I only wish I knew, lady.

Come to TIP. It's a slow board, but the people are great and there is almost no baby talk. There is also very little TIP talk. lol. awick14 showed up there yesterday (PS> stick around if you want, awick).

Yeah that's pretty much how I felt about it too. I'm undecided about whether I will go back for another go when we cycle again. He had me listen to meditation/visualization tapes - so that gave me something to do other than twiddle my thumbs (which I did not do - I laid perfectly still the whole time, in fear that a needle would move and hurt!).

That was a smart move. I stretched out my pinkie at one point and I had a shooting pain across my wrist. Owie!
Muddled- I have lurked around there for a little while and I know there is a lot of non TIP talk but it seems weird to post over there. But after reading the OP I felt like I had to comment. Maybe I'll stick around.
King26, enjoy your dinner tonight! what an awesome concept, a farm to table restaurant!
cheyenne, good luck! so glad you're finally able to trigger (according to the u/s)!
I still lurk on GetP just for the folks who are waffling between taking a while to get pregnant, vs TTTC. I think I know which poster you are referring to thoseareradishes, I think I posted in her thread. another has the patience of a saint, I declared myself TTTC after 7 months, lol (after our first SA results).
I think it would be weird to lurk/post on TIP, because I'm not having TIP, ya know? the concept of the board is if you and your SO are struggling, right?
looks like a lot of people have awesome plans this weekend! everyone enjoy! I am enjoying my day of NOTHING to do, except shop for picture frames! my days off have been madness, with the house being worked on and the garage a mess and me usually covered in paint, drywall mud, glue, or some mixture of the above. so today I'm doing nothing. Saturday through Monday, I'm working (time and a half pay on Monday, whoop whoop!)
oh, and we had a game watching party last night, about 12ish? people were over to our house. it was about half of our usual tailgating crew. DH made ribs and beer butt chicken, I made mashed potatoes and coleslaw for sides, texas caviar with fritos for app, and a red velvet cheese ball with nilla wafers and graham crackers for dessert. our friend brought her 23 month old twin girls, and her 10 day old son. I got to hold him for the first quarter.
I'll be working all weekend. Thankfully I have tonight off. I may stop and get a pedicure after work and then take a nap until DH gets home from work.
I'm working a soccer tournament tomorrow morning and then we have a football game tomorrow night. Sunday is more soccer tournament and then practices on Monday.
Not much of a holiday weekend. I am super excited though for the first weekend of college football, even if my Mountaineers are going to get their butt kicked.
pooh8402- 23 month old twins and a 10 day old? That's a lot of work!
omg yes. the twins were after 3 rounds of Clomid, she was on 100 mg that last cycle, with TI. then she started TTC again last fall, and got pregnant again the first or second cycle. they didn't expect to get pregnant again right away so they started TTC again a little earlier than they probably ought to have. but yea, 3 under 2 is a lot of work, and I got to see just a little glimpse yesterday. to be quite honest, we were all surprised they even came out, and they left at halftime as it was.

Don't feel weird! It really hasn't been a tip themed board since well before the move. We just keep the name so we know where to find each other. And it has the added bonus of keeping people out. I'd love it if you stuck around!
And pooh, you can stay on ml, where no one has tip ever. lol.
You are totally right. I definitely need to stop lurking over there!

Ha, confession: I have lurked on TIP for a loonnng time. It would be creepy if you knew how long. Like back to before bval-gate on the place that shall not be named.
