We have narrowed our Oregon trip down to one of two weeks. I think I am going to TTA for the next few cycles for the first time in last 2.5 years. A part of me is like what's the point but then another part of me feels like I would get pregnant naturally at the one point in which doing so would be the worst. I need to drink wine in Oregon!

There is a client here who is seriously the most enthusiastic person about EVERYTHING I've ever seen. She is LOUD and her voice and laugh are special!

Lol about your coworker. It reminds me of Lisa Kudrow on Friends. I was watching bloopers yesterday, and her laugh is hilarious!

Our race (running) office here is doing a 5k tomorrow in honor of everything that happened in Boston. I'm going and looking forward to it. I haven't run in over a week.

Our company was supposed to leave Sunday, but they got snowed in here a few more days. And then H got sick Monday and passed it on to them. I bet they are wishing they hadn't gotten stuck here. I love having them visit, but I must admit I'm ready to have my house to myself again.

I am so ready for spring to stick around. I woke up to about 4 inches of snow this morning, which equals our entire snowfall to this point all winter. Yes, I live in Colorado but I don't live in the mountains or near the mountains and live in a desert climate. I am so over the snow!

I finally got a positive OPK Tuesday morning which means my cycle is only about 4-5 days off of normal, so not too bad at all for first post-D&E cycle. We are TTA this cycle so it was really weird to tell DH "ok, looks like I'm finally going to o, good thing I'm OOT for the next several days"

My interview is going to be Monday afternoon and it's via Skype...I'm not a big Skype user so I'm not thrilled about this. I talk well and so I have no problem that it's face to face, but it's just throwing me off my game a little. I'm going to have to practice this weekend. I'm interviewing with a pretty important person from a very prestigious academic program so I'm a little intimidated.

(and lola, I don't think I responded to your comment the other day but this job is indeed in Chicago)

You guys with snow...want to trade? The weather here sucks, it's humid as all heck and in the 90s. Boo.

A co-worker sets out a tray of snacks daily. They run the gamut from candy to freeze pops (no, really) to crunchy things. This tray is about 10 feet away from my office. People will stop at the snack desk and grab a handful of whatever, then they will come to my office, slump in the door way, snacking & crunching away and then ask me “so (crunch crunch crunch) what’s going on (crunch crunch crunch)?” Crunching away all the while. 

I think the snacks are a nice idea, but I don’t want to see & hear what people are eating when they stop by, KWIM?

I spent 30 dollars on a pair of shorts. SHORTS people. H was all that is expensive for shorts. Shut your mouth H i have a hard time finding things that fit me correctly thanks to my thighs and butt. Also I got them at a home show called vault denim. Anyone ever been to one those? It was interesting

I feel like this week and next week is very filled with things to do. I have a few baby-sitting jobs, plus helping a friend out by taking her to the Charleston airport (yay for outlet shopping when i go!). And a fundraiser i said i would help with. Everyday is something.

I feel fat even though I've been working out although i have only been working out for about a week and half regularly. I know it takes time but i am at the heaviest i have ever been. Sigh i guess i just need to koko.

ilovecandy $30 for a pair of shorts is not a lot if they fit well!

I hate shorts ever since my legs got fat. Ugh. I have a terrible time, I live where it's hot most of the year and have I think 1 pair that fit.

[ilovecandy]

HoneySpider I know they weren't that much more than the other shorts i got last year.  I hardly wear shorts because of my thighs and generally i can't ind any that won't show my buttcrack and go a decent legnth.  So I am willing ot pay a little more.  I only have 3 pairs of shorts i have begun to wear more shirts and dresses versus shorts or pants because of the fits.

I hate that most cute shorts are so freaking short. I'm 6', and I need length! Half the stuff made barely covers my butt, let alone my legs.

Also after hearing about the bombings in Boston, I admit I had a moment where I thought "Do I really want to bring a child into a world like this?". Where something that is supposed to be fun and exciting cant be safe. Where now for awhile I will be paranoid about being places with large crowds? (I already felt uneasy in situations like that due to anxiety) I've moved past this and yes I do still want to. It just breaks my heart what happened.

I don't wear shorts, ever, because my legs are so pale. Think Conan O'Brien pale. I just can't subject people to that. Capris are about as short as I'll go.

OMG, $30 is good for ANY item of clothing! Well, I probably wouldn't pay that much for panties or socks, but if they were really fantastic, I'd probably consider.

At our IUI last week, the nurse said that the sperm report came back in the "good" category for both count at motility. They don't do an exact count, but have ranges for "poor" "OK" and "good". My husband has always been in the "ok" category for every single SA he's ever had, including the first IUI. So, I was shocked to hear that he was in the passing "good" category.

About a month ago, he started wearing boxers again and I've made him start taking a shitload of supplements. I didn't really expect it to help, especially so quickly, but we really can't leave any stone unturned. After hearing about that, I've had a good amount of hope for this IUI. I had another SA ordered, to see exactly what we're working with now.

AND....it's exactly as "ok" as it was before. There's no way it quadrupled for just that one day. I'm so annoyed that this IUI sperm counter must not be as accurate, and gave me false hope. A normal sperm count would increase our chances of success by at least double, maybe triple. Assholes.

I was a bitch to H about my birthday present. When we were out of town last weekend, we were facing a long wait period in a boring town and he mentioned that a Nintendo DS could be fun. I agreed, in a whatever way. Then when we are at Target, I pointed out the Nintendo display and made a stupid comment about a game looking interesting. So I opened my gift today and got a Nintendo. I HATE VIDEO GAMES! Plus, he spent way, way too much (he also got me a massage gift certificate and some fancy $60 makeup primer that I pointed out when we were at Sephora, but hadn't planned on buying. In total, over $450). It was awesome that he was so thoughtful and picked out things we recently talked about, but I was disappointed when I opened the Nintendo and anxious about the cost, so I instantly made comments about the expense. I apologized, but I still feel bad that I made him feel bad about the gift.
