What is everyone up to this week? How many days of work do you (or you husband) have left before Thanksgiving? If you are traveling, when do you set out? Any randoms?
My husband works tonight and tuesday night and then he is off until December 8th. We are going home for Thanksgiving, just on Thursday.
My random is that I had to discard a temp to make O show up on my chart. I hardly slept on Saturday and when I did, it was very fitful. I hate when my sleep gets stupid during the crucial temping times because I get all "omg what if that wasn't it!?" but I'd rather discard than to trust a 2hr, crappy sleep, temp.
We're working today and tomorrow. DH's family is coming Wednesday and half of them are staying though the weekend. I'll be doing most of the cooking and need to write down my game plan with where helpers can assist.
My random is that my cube is caddy corner to the most needy of the instructor staff. I can hear everything he says on the phone and I want to throw things over the cube at him when I hear him telling other people to call me and have me do things that are outside my job scope. I've had to hold his hand through each little task more so than any other instructor so I guess he thinks it's my job to do everything for everyone. The really sad/scary part, he was the runner up to my job when I was hired. I just can't imagine how that would have worked out with him the one who is supposed to do the helping.
We both have off thursday and friday. I took a half day wednesday. I'm hoping Express starts their sale that day like they did last year so I can avoid the mall this week other then that. I'll shop friday but going to go around 7 . Last couple years I started at midnight but I'm getting tired of the crowd and places opening at 8 pm pisses me off.
This weekend I'll buy my tree and decorate. Cant wait! I wanted to yesterday but H wasn't home and I need his truck.
This week we get to wear jeans. I'm soooo comfy in jeans and a sweater.
I'm working today and then "working from home" tomorrow. Off the rest of the week. DH unfortunately has to be at work at 6PM on thanksigiving. He's a manager at a major retailer. It's time and a half for him so I can't complain too much. Just means we'll do the full thanksigiving meal on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Thursday is just going to be all appitizers.
My random: I already put up a small Christmas tree in the front entry to the house. It's not visible to anyone outside. I'll do the rest of the decorations this weekend.

Happy Monday!
I'm working today and tomorrow, and then my H works on Wednesday until noon so I am going to try to talk a half day off with him. We'll see if that actually works, though, since I'm in the middle of quite a few big project.
Our dishwasher has been broken since Tuesday. TUESDAY! If it's not fixed today I'm going to run it even though I know it will leak all over under my sink.

This week is the end of my temporary librarian stint, so I work Monday and Tuesday. H is taking the afternoon off on Wednesday (and has Thursday and Friday off anyway). I'm getting a sore throat which BLOWS. Every year I'm sick on at least one good food holiday.
Still no word on either test results or SHG/HSG debacle from old OB. I'm whatever comes after frustrated. In good news, I got a temp rise yesterday that stayed up today, so paired with my positive OPK a few days ago it looks like I actually ovulated on CD 15, which is seriously fantastic. Unless my period decides to start on day 25, which would just fucking figure.
Oh, also, I was cramping a bit this morning and my boobs are killing me. I have a feeling AF is going to rear her ugly head early. I put a shitload of tampons in my purse JIC. I figure if I have to get my period, it's better now than on Thursday.

coribelle26 - try gargling with a mix of warm water, salt and baking soda. Might kill some of the bugs so your sore throat doesn't get worse.
I'm working Mon-Wed, and I guess H is too - he'll probably have a half day on Wednesday. I have to be outside Wednesday and that's going to suck because it's supposed to be pouring rain.
I'm working Mon-Wed, but I am working from home on Wed. H only has Thursday off. We're staying here and having Thanksgiving with just the two of us. I'm going to knock out some Christmas shopping on Friday.

I might work tomorrow and Wednesday. I don't know if I need to yet.
Heading to the IL's on Thursday for Thanksgiving, and then driving to my parents that night so my mom and I can go people watching on Black Friday! Staying there until Sunday so I can go to a baby shower.
My random right now is I want to cry or scream. I've been charting. And charting. I o on either day 18 or 19. Guess what decided to happen a WEEK early?? Day 12. Day fucking 12. DH and I have been so busy and tired that we were just starting to ramp back up to every other day. Whelp, that means we had sex once during the "fertile" window. At least it was the night before o??
I was really hoping this was our month so I could cancel the appointment at the fertility clinic. Can someone like cross their fingers for me that once was enough? Please??

I'm working today and tomorrow. MH is off all week and I'm so jealous that I emailed him a to do list We're hosting Thursday so the house has to get clean somehow!
I love hosting but I can't wait to do nothing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

We did it once during my fertile window this cycle too and google tells me it is enough. So fingers crossed!

I wish we didn't have to travel for Thanksgiving. I'd love to be able to cook something (or host!), relax on the long weekend, and put up Christmas decorations. Instead, we're leaving straight from work tomorrow to fly across the country to visit my in-laws. We get back Sunday evening.
Insult to injury, we just got an email that anyone working Wednesday gets three paid hours off that afternoon. But we won't be here and have to take the whole day as vacation time.

orangeglow, once is fine (says the girl who's never gotten pregnant), especially the day before O. That's generally considered your most fertile day. And with not having a bunch of sex in the days beforehand, hopefully your husband's sperm was all built up or whatever.

orangeglow and TrickyBob I had sex thrice in July at all the wrong times and that's when I got pregnant after 11 beautifully timed failures. No promises but you might as well keep the faith for a couple of weeks.
I'm off all week and DH is off Thursday and Friday. I'm flying back home today and cannot wait. I miss DH and my dogs. Hooray for a few days of uninterrupted tv time. I need to get caught up on shows.
We'll go out for breakfast on Thanksgiving and then have tickets for the Texas/Texas Tech game that night. Probably do some shopping on our way home after the game.
I'm off work Wed through Fri. Tomorrow night I'm going to see Catching Fire, I'm sooo excited! Anyone seen it yet?
I saw it thursday night. Sooooo good! They left a few minor things out from book but not a huge deal. The Capitol and costumes were amazing. You can tell this one was made better. I cringed when Gale got whipped and Cinna died even though you knew it was coming. My only complain on these movies is they tell no background so if you don't read the book you'd be lost. I haven't read the book for 3 years so I need to reread it. I forgot some things till the movie got going.

Don't give spoilers, girl! Not everyone reads the books! LOL (I do, but I know plenty of ppl who don't.)

I have Thurs and Fri off. We are doing Thanksgiving at my aunt's house and then going to my inlaws on Friday for the rest of the weekend.
orangeglow- FX and lots of prayers for you! It only takes one sperm so it's definitely possible!!! Both BFPs were on the only months where we kind of let things go (I promised to chart for 6 months so was strict with that and our timing...got pregnant on Cycle 7 both times) and when we didn't feel like it was going to be our month
linz , glad it was good! Yeah its been a couple years since I read the books, but I remember most of the plot points. I read that the writers are pulling a Harry Potter and dividing the final book into 2 movies. While I'm glad they'll prolong the fun, its soo far awaay lol!
Ya I heard it will be 2. Seems lame to me. I hated the third book so hopefully its good!

I was fucking annoyed when they turned HP 7 into two movies. Lame.
I have never ready the Catching Fire books. Whatever they're called. I have no interest in them, or in the movies. I do really like Jennifer Lawrence though.
I need to stay off of ML. Post more people, post more.

Why are you avoiding ML? I know why I avoid ML some days...but it has to do with pasties chick.
