Re: random thought tuesday

  • *I fantasize about the day I get to walk into my boss' office and turn in my two weeks notice. 

    *DH went to the Baptist church down the street with my dad's girlfriend Sunday (we've never been to this church before) and I'm kind of pissed that DH gave them our name and our address. I know (from other people who have gone to this church) that they'll be visiting our house frequently trying to get us to join and I have zero interest. And DH will be gone for the next two weeks so guess who'll be home when they come? I might tell them that I'm Buddhist. I grew up in the church but lost my faith a long, long time ago.

    *I've eaten way too much lately, between our trip to NOLA and my dad's visit. But I made DH make me a massive container of stove top popped popcorn before he left for California.

    *My mom's funeral was 9 years ago today. For some reason it is really, really hard this year. Maybe because we are approaching 10 years. I wish DH was home to be with me.

    *I'm really loving the new show on CMT "Sweet Home Alabama". It is a reality/dating show, basically just like the Bacheloette but 1. It isn't just a re-used former bachelorette or bachelor like those shows have been for the past few years 2. Half the guys are from the south and half are from big cities...it is funny to watch them interact. 3. A lot of them are HOT!

    *I think it is really weird when people flip out when celebrities die. Like full on sobbing, falling apart, devastated type of behavior. I can understand being sad or whatever but to act like you knew the person IRL and that you are lost with their death, well, that's just ridic to me. 

    (Per the lady I just saw bawling her eyes out at Amy Winehouse's memorial on the Today Show.) 

     

     

    ETA: Ok, one last one..

    *I'll probably be leaving the board soon. I don't see any reason for me to hang around. I'm not sure why I've been here lately and I'm sure it isn't healthy. I'm still just trying to accept that we will never have kids..but being here helps and hurts. I don't know. I just love you ladies so much and will miss you when I leave!

    *I got dressed to go to the gym this morning and I am still here on the couch.

    *I am going to a party today with a bunch of people from my school and I am NOT in the mood to see some people. 

     

     

     

     

    After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption!  We are so excited to see what the future holds.

  • *AF reared her ugly little head today which means I've been just a peach to everyone this morning.

    *I've gained 5lbs in the last month and it is no one's fault but my own.  I have been eating like crap lately.  Now, I just need motivation to go and try to work it off - and of course eat like a rabbit...

    TTC since 3/07. IVF#1 = canceled. IVF#2 = 0% fertilization. IVF#3 = BFN. IVF#4 = c/p.  
    Moving forward with Adoption 2017!
  • Ok, I lied..I have another.

    DH left this morning for Cali recruiting and I never really asked him his travel plans. He's out there until Sunday morning, will get home Sunday afternoon and then is flying BACK out to Cali Monday morning. I realize this is more of a WTF than a random thought but...WTF? I'm trying to convince him to just stay out there, it isn't worth it to fly from Cali to Atlanta to be home for less than 24 hours.

    I don't know either and it irritates me that the people (from the board) that don't get it perpetuate the problem.

  • * I *love* my family but this weekend will be the first weekend in 7 weeks we haven?t had anyone up visiting?and then we will go the next 3 weeks with people up again. I don?t know if I plan on getting out of bed at all Sunday.

     

    * I ran out of my creamer in the work fridge and had to use non-dairy. Blech.

     

    * I am planning to go somewhere on vacation over Labor Day weekend even though we can?t really afford it. I need to get away - even if it?s just to crash at my grandparents in Texas.

     

    * I don?t understand why people are such grammar police on a message board. It?s not a thesis or a medical journal.

  • I woke up an hour and a half late today.? I contemplated just calling in sick to work, but I had two meetings this morning that I really couldn?t miss.? Plus, I JUST started working out after work with a friend of mine yesterday and if I didn?t show up on Day 2, that would be really bad.? So I jumped up, took a shower, threw on some makeup and ran a comb through my hair and was out the door in twenty minutes.? The kicker?? I look exactly the same as I do every other day when I take almost 2 hours to get ready.? Someone even complimented my hair!? Maybe I should take the extra hour and a half of sleep every day! ?
