1. What has been your favorite thing about this week so far? I joined the board for a local women's charity (they have a battered women's shelter, housing for homeless women, rape crisis, that sort of thing). I've been really interested in getting involved with this charity for a while, and as a bonus, there are some really great people on the board that I'm looking forward to getting to know.
2. What have you liked least about this week so far? I got into an argument with my mom and sister at dinner Monday night about my infertility. It was embarassing and it made me an emotional wreck for the rest of the night.
3. What are you still looking forward to this week? The weekend? Does that count?
4. What are you looking least forward to this week? I have to be our firm's "athletic director," which means I organize all of our softball games for our firm for the local lawyer league. I hate softball. Of course, this year our softball team is amazing, which means we keep winning all of our stupid playoff games -- I wish we'd just lose so we could be eliminated and be done playing! We have semi-finals Thursday night.
5. Any weekend plans yet? If the weather cooperates, I'm spending the whole weekend swimming and floating on a raft.
Mild MFI, irregular cycles, HSG only showed left tube open

1. What has been your favourite thing about this week so far? It's already Weds and spending time w a friend yesterday
2. What have you liked least about this week so far? This could have its own list - H broke a piece of his hand (he is a mechanic so this is a major problem), my job/company is going thru a pretty rough patch (more work/HR problems, etc.), H's dr. for his hand was postponed, H reading an IF book, and now being unsure about ds, adoption and everything else IF related, and also that it is only Weds

4. What are you looking least forward to this week? The rest of the work week...
