    @offtoneverland  I missed your post while I was writing mine.  The crepes sound delicious!  What kind did you make?  I love to cook and bake, but have never tried making crepes.

    @nitnat007 As someone who only washes their hair once a week I can attest to the effectiveness of dry shampoo. It's amazing. Glad you had a great birthday otherwise!

    @offtoneverland That puzzle sounds super frustrating! Do you have one of those special tables for putting them together? Also, how did you get part your siggy in a spoiler? When I try it puts the whole thing in the spoiler and I want everyone to be able to enjoy Gordon.

    @dukestar5 Not too far, about 2.5 hours. We're trying to get them to move closer because they're cool. I'm dying to know what breakdance move you're good at!

    @SkilledSailor  Haha I wish I knew what it was called so I could find a video for it...I'll try to work on that today.  ;)  (P.S.  I feel you in the parent department...I've been trying to get my parents to move closer too with no luck!)

    @doxiemoxie212   Keep us posted on the acupuncture appointment!  I'm various curious to hear what you think of it.  I'm debating possibly trying it in the future, but I do have a fear of needles. :#
    (Also--I am sure you have many talents!)

    @catlady1215  I am a little jealous of your cooler weather and rain this weekend. I hope you are productive!  I need to work around the house too.
     As far as green tea goes, I read that it is best to do CD1 until ovulation.  Last month I drank one cup a day and did not notice a big difference in CM.  This month I am upping my water intake and doing two cups of green tea to see if that makes a difference.  I'm not a fan of hot green tea, so I've started making the tea in the evenings and then putting it in a big water bottle in the fridge overnight so that I can drink it cold the next day.  Hope that helps!

    @doxiemoxie212 Good luck with the acupuncture today. Hopefully your H cooperates. 
    @dukestar5 Have fun at lunch today! I am also curious about your break dancing move. :) I made an old crepes recipe that my mom passed down from her mom. They're not legit crepes though, they're a bit thicker than normal ones and we call them "roll ups." You put butter and powdered sugar on them and roll them up! Yum! 
    @catlady1215 I don't think anything's wrong with you; sometimes I just love cleaning the house! LOL at your monkey toes!
    @SkilledSailor I just typed the beginning of the siggy, then used the formatting button to add the spoiler and put the rest of it in the spoiler box. Hopefully you can get it to work so everyone can see Gordon! Love your gif! I don't have a special puzzle table...for the longest time it was on the dining room table but I had to move it upstairs so we stopped eating dinner at the coffee table like animals. Now that it's upstairs I never touch it anymore...

    @skilledsailor I love pool days. I def didn't get enough of them this summer. enjoy!

    @nitnat007 lol I like to pretend I can twerk. I got the junk in the trunk also but not sure if I mastered the twerk just yet.

    @offtoneverland I actually love puzzles. at one point, dh and I had one going on our coffee table for a month. every night we'd work on it while watching our shows. I loved it. -TW- then ds came along. and there's no way we can leave a puzzle out without pieces going missing-end TW- But hopefully again someday!

    @dukestar5 girlfriend lunches are the best. have fun!
    thanks! maybe that's my issue, I didn't start it till AF left. maybe I should do 2 glasses a day also.

    @doxiemoxie212 always been curious about acupuncture. let us know how it

    @lurvleybunchococonuts ohman, sounds like a long day!! have a safe trip later! do you make a return trip the same night? and hope the pup is ok, poor thing.

    @darkstar42 so you drink the green tea during AF also then? maybe that's why I didn't notice much last cycle. I give myself that week off so I don't get sick of the tea. maybe next cycle I grab a mint one to mix it up.
    boo FF. your timing is still good!!

    P&G for now, but @doxiemoxie212 I hope acupuncture goes well for you and YH today. Curious to see what you think. 

    Month/Cycle: 5/5 (3/3 and 1/1 AL)

    CD: 13

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, Ubiquinol, Acupuncture and probably an insufficient amount of HIO

    R/R:  MH is away so I had a very relaxing night with our puppers last night, plus it's Friday! Rants: It is so windy here that our building is creaking. My CM continues to be very scant and it's so weird because I am very hydrated. I broke down this morning and had like 1/3 of a cup of coffee because the green tea is not working for me right now anyway. 

    CS/Q: Not a lot to see, but here it is. 


    GTKY: What are you really good at, but kind of embarrassed you're good at it? Hmm. My only really weird talent is finding four leaf clovers, but I'm not embarrassed about it.

    WAYDTGKU: PNV and not much else. MH work schedule is benching us :/

    R/R:  Labor day weekend and we're going camping with a couple of friends. The weather has gotten chilly here, in the low 60s so we'll see how this goes!

    CS/Q: Nada

    GTKY: I do the gross animal care at home, like empty the dog's glands (eeeew, I know) and am good at it. I'll probably be the parent who does the gross stuff as well. haha

    Month/Cycle: 4/4 (1/1 ALs)

    CD: 16

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO, CM, OPKs, 

    R/R: Rant: Normally, my OPKs should be getting darker by now, but they are getting lighter, so I have no idea what is happening right now. Rave: I got my first PSL of the season!

    CS/Q: I'm not temping.

    GTKY: What are you really good at, but kind of embarrassed you're good at it? This is a really hard question, I have no idea.

    @SkilledSailorI hope you have a great weekend with your parents!
    @nitnat007Happy belated birthday!
    @offtoneverlandI love crepes, and they are surprisingly easy to make.
    @dukestar5Have fun catching up with your girlfriends!
    @doxiemoxie212I hope acupuncture helps YH relax a little bit.
    @catlady1215You want to clean? What is wrong with you!?
    @lurvleybunchococonutsWow, it sounds like you have a very long day ahead of you. But at least it's Friday, right?
    @darkstar42Sleeping in is my favorite thing to do, it can truly make a day better.
    @zamora_spinI hope you O soon, I'm finding this cycle to be really weird too.

    @skilledsailor I love your GTKY. I do a similar thing with making up songs, but I'm not very good at it. I suck at coming up with lyrics that rhyme well, but I'm ok at melody.

    @nitnat007 Happy birthday yesterday! Glad you got spoiled and are enjoying your vacay!

    @offtoneverland I also love puzzles, but they are something I only do on vacations. Fun that you have one going at all times! Also, those crepe rollups sound delicious!

    @lurvleybunchococonuts I'm sorry you have all that extra stress to deal with! I hope things get better soon and you get to enjoy the long weekend!

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs starting today, plus CM and PNV

    R/R:  Holiday weekend! Yasss!

    CS/Q: 

    GTKY: I'm not that embarrassed by it, but I'm really good at identifying actors in tv/movies and what other tv/movies they've been in before. My DH calls me the "Hollywood Identifier". Sometimes he doubts me and then we go to IMDB to verify I was right!

    @doxiemoxie212 greentea ICECREAM?! I have never heard of this! I think I need to find this. i'm alittle leary on how it would taste but it would absolutely make eating icecream everyday acceptable, right??
    very interesting about the acupuncture! I'm now really intrigued. And also 'stagnant blood' is basically (in different words) what I call my random spotting a week after AF.

    @catlady1215 you've never had green tea ice cream???? It's delicious! I like the legit Japanese brands best but honestly I have yet to meet a green tea ice cream I don't like. I think they make it with matcha which is like v concentrated green tea..... but mixed with ice cream..... so less caffeine I think...? I don't know lol

    @doxiemoxie212   Green tea ice cream is the best!!!

    @stephiebears88 I'll join you in the old lady club.  As you can tell by my username, quilting and knitting are my favorite hobbies.  Used to cross stitch a lot too!

    @SkilledSailor  I love that jingle singing is your talent.  So funny!

    @dukestar5 hope your lunch was fun!  What kind of food did you have?

    @catlady1215 I haven't used green tea for fertility but I drink it pretty often (probably 3x/week).  I really like the flavored ones like mint, ginger, or I had a blueberry green tea once that was awesome!

    @offtoneverland I have never been able to master crepes.  I always burn them or break them when trying to flip.  Some day I will get it!

    @catlady1215 mmmm it's more like a sweet umami taste? I don't know if I'm best to describe it. I like it a lot but I also do like green tea. It has sort of a nuttier taste? I don't think I'm doing a good job. Lol
