Friday Randoms/Confessions/Bitchfest/Whatever

[discogranny]

Hey ladies - It's Friday, so let's get some new conversations started in here. What are your plans for the weekend? How's the week been? Got anything to bitch about?

[discogranny]

I am only at work half day today, leaving at 11:30. Woo! Eight girlfriends and I are going to see Matchbox Twenty at a casino in Oklahoma. We have had this planned for months but the timing couldn't be better because I could really use some time away to drink, dance and gamble with my friends after this hellish week. I come back tomorrow afternoon and DH and I are going to pick up my Valentine's Day present - a new hybrid bicycle...I know, I am hella-lame.

Nothing really to bitch about. I am working through my grief about the loss slowly. As of yesterday I had moved from total sadness to raging anger that this happened, which even though it makes me feel crazy, is probably helpful. We find out two weeks from today the results of the testing on the fetal tissue, so I am hopeful we finally will have some sort of answers. DH an I have decided that we are going to take a vacation in June and at the very earliest do a FET in July.

I have really, really enjoyed having a calm place to lurk/post this week. I am so thankful to have stumbled over this sub-board.

I am so jealous of your weekend, that sounds super fun!! What is a hybrid bicycle?

Hey - relaxing all weekend is also a good weekend!

A hybrid bike is a bike that is a combo between a mountain bike, touring bike and a road bike. Basically it's like the step in between a mountain bike you would pick up from a big box store and a more costly specialized road bike that people who do long distance road rides/races ride. It's lighter than a mountain bike and has a few components that make it more like a road bike. I need a lighter bike but am not ready to invest $600+ in a road bike.

I don't what's going on here but have had 2 weird things happen this week.

1) For Christmas I got FIL tickets (groupon) to a comedy club. It's a really popular venue here. We were supposed to go this weekend but when we phoned to make the reservation the phone was disconnected - they have gone out of business! So why were they selling groupons a month beforehand? I guess a last ditch attempt to stay afloat? I'm waiting for my refund.

2) I am a wedding planner part time. One of my couples really wanted to book a particular venue. I kept calling to make an appointment and couldn't get through. We went there last Sat just to check it out and lo and behold - eviction notices all over the door! Today the front page of the paper is all about how many couples have lost money, I'm just glad my couple didn't book it.

I thought the economy was on the upturn.....

Returning from a gyno appointment yesterday, I come home to find 2 boxes of pampers ( from someone's trash) have blown into my driveway.
Thanks universe! I would have taken a bag of dog poop instead!

Well the weekend has started. I obviously started out going getting a glass of wine. About 45 minutes later a friend joined me and she was going to a concert and there were still tickets, so I called DH asking if he minded me not coming home until very late and arranging his own dinner and he was fine with that, so I joined her. It was super fun and it's weird but for the first time in ages I finally felt like me again. Not dealing with docs or housework or work or TTC or whatever, but just having fun with a friend and being impulsive.

Today I'm nursing a hangover from hell, which is the price you pay for forgetting your worries for a night, I guess. We still need to get groceries and stuff and need to bring some stuff from our old condo to the dump, but nothing else is really planned. Nothing planned for tomorrow either.nice and relaxing weekend is the only plan. Oh, and rehydrating!
