Tonight I am enjoying a 6 pack of Abita Strawberry beer. It is my first time having it and I am totally hooked. I am debating whether I should rent "My Week with Marilyn", "Crazy Stupid Love" or "Young Adult".
I sound like a total loser

DH is working and I worked early this morning so I'm exhausted. I'm just watching TV. And since I just finished my Provera a couple days ago, I'm probably going to drink a Smirnoff Ice or two.
I just had the best melt in your mouth steaks, courtesy of DH. I've been craving one for a while now!
Sadly, no fun drinks tonight, just root beer...too lazy to go to the store. I am trying to find a movie to watch too. Such a boring Saturday night!

I just got done shopping with my mom, which is a marathon event. I can hardly keep up with her!
Now I'm catching up on Grey's Anatomy, waiting for DH to come home so we can go to a friend's housewarming party. Yeah for staying out of the St. Paddy's madness in Chicago!
I'm drinking some delicious Zevia Ginger Root Beer. It's not green beer, but it's pretty good while in the 2WW.
I hear you on the exciting Saturday night and it's a holiday to top it off. The life of an IF right? I've been home all day with our furbabies. DH had to work both jobs today so he won't get home until around 10ish. I'm getting ready to make some salmon and baked potato for dinner. I'm trying to get back into the health kick after an unsuccessful week. A movie sounds great but I don't think I have the motivation to go get one. Lol

We rented a movie from redbox So that's what we will be doing tonight. Of course when DH is done watching some more of the college basketball game that is on.
We're staying in this weekend because of MH's hurt neck. So far today we've been lazy and that's the plan for the whole weekend. Woo. LOL! Right now we're watching a move on FX, Hancock.
I vote Crazy Stupid Love. Ryan Gosling is HOT in that movie ;-)
We had plans with two of our neighbors. DH had to work all day and no longer felt like going out so cancelled with both of them. We closed the blinds and poured a beer and grabbed leftovers. We are cuddled up watching basketball and HGTV. :-)

MIL came over tonight and showed me how to make one of DH's favorite dishes! It's currently cooking and I can't wait to try it! Other than that, we are just kind of chilling around the house and enjoying our night!
DH and I are having dinner at Panera and then going to see Avenue Q - I'm looking forward to a good laugh!
Not big drinkers -- but hope those who are will be having an awesome St Pats day.

Dh is trying to catch up on work since I've made him fall so far behind! We're just sitting on the couch watching tv and I'm pouting about my port hurting and feeling like its gonna pop out of my clavicle. If we're feeling super adventurous we might try to walk down to the basement to watch a movie in our home teacher and snuggle I the recliners. Walking down there would be a big deal though. I feel like a 90 year old some times haha
Happy st pattys day hope everyone going out has a good time and stays safe!
Wow. I feel like this is exactly why, if and when I get KU, I'll just be chillin on PAIF with my peeps. Screw the crazies - that level of detail just seems designed to bring out neurosis and self-centeredness! Plus isn't it better having the advice from people who are just a little farther along in the process and can help calm the nervous newbs?
I totally vote for Crazy Stupid Love too. And our plans involve the couch, a movie, and leftover hickey soup. That's chicken, autocorrect, but it was too funny not to leave in. Anyway, so much for big St. Patty's Day plans but we just want these little guys in me to have a nice relaxed night. If we're feeling adventurous we might go to a friend's for brunch tomorrow so I can sit in a chair with my legs propped up surrounded by friends who know about IF - and try not to laugh too hard

We went out to a bar with some friends. I had Whiskey Sours. It was fun for a while until one of DH's friends brothers started talking about why girls like me had wide hips bc they were good for making babies. Then I walked off and started crying and ended up having to tell DH's friend what was going on bc he saw me cry. So that was a little awkward.
Just got back from our 24 hour vaca. And it was so nice to be someplace other than our living room! LOL. We gambled (and lost) and had dinner at the casino buffet (ate some much I wish I had on maternity pants!) , then went on to see the comedy show - and I have not laughed so much I cried in a long time. Very good time! Then is morning we went to breakfast at a Cracker barrel and decided to go lose another $60 at the casino before calling it quits and headed home. That goodness we didn't drink much to get a hangover because our neighbor is having her roof replaced and there is a ton of banging going on! If I had known, I would have had us stay in our hotel room a few more hours!

In my trolling around TB out of boredom.. I came across something that just made me shake my head.
Did you know TB now has not only BMBs and Tri boards, but also now has boards for each individual week you're pregnant? Oh wow.
Here's the 4 week board: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/12671811/ShowForum.aspx
And the 5 week board: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/12671812/ShowForum.aspx
And it goes through 42 weeks.
