    Now I feel like I should watch the Sound of Music. I just made pumpkin cookies with maple frosting. I'd like to stay home and stuff my face with them. I'm meeting clients tomorrow and then my in-laws are heading into the city. They'll be staying with us overnight (fun fun) to watch my BIL run the Chicago marathon on Sunday. It runs through our neighborhood.

    MIL is in the hospital after a complicated heart surgery so visiting her a bunch in the ICU. SIL is in town from NYC so we might get out and do something. Other than that.....not a whole lot! Maybe I'll take the ol' camera out for some picture taking somewhere. The weather has cooled down so much I think it's about time! I hope everyone has a good weekend!

    Fun fact: I have never seen that movie the sound of music ...I know according to all my friends im an abomination!

    This weekend.. Got my blood done this morning and will again on mon. Tue will be the deciding factor when my dr calls if I get the methotrexate shot. I hope that this weekend goes smooth and I don't start getting any weird pain or bleeding. Cuz that would mean a trip to the ER and that's no fun!
    On a fun note... Finishing a hutch in painting this weekend... Ill post a pic when I'm done. And a girlfriend is coming to stay sat and sun night and I'm sure we will end up at a few winery's and maybe a pumpkin patch!
    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Today I'm cooking...enchiladas, salsa, sweet & tangy meatballs...and putting the poly coats on the dresser I started staining last weekend. Might try to make the 6pm Aqua Run class since DH is working late, but I'm still sore from the Body Blast class I took last night so I may talk myself out of it. lol Tomorrow DH actually has a day off so we're going hiking. Then we have a Mexican potluck get-together tomorrow evening.

    You've all made me hungry! I should bake/cook something now! Who am I kidding? That'll never happen!!

    But, I am planning on cleaning my toilet. You know you're jealous! Actually, I am starving myself for 1 1/2 weeks because I'm in my SIL's wedding and I'm PUFFY beyond belief after two failed cycles. It's.so.gross. The puff factor has probably been exaggerated by my attempt at therapy through food...whatever. So, for me, I'm cleaning, not baking/cooking, and not eating. Wow. I really know how to have fun! I decided that wine is NOT a carb because it's made out of grapes, so it will be considered a "safe" food all week!

    I will be digging out my old copy of Sound of Music now though! OH, DH will be so excited...

    BabyFruit Ticker

     ttc #2 since 2004 Me (35): Stage 3 Endo, DH (34): High DNA Frag

    Lost baby A. Praying that baby B stays healthy. Baby B hb 175 at 11 weeks

     @liz4pawsWishing your MIL a speedy recovery!

     @beachy6 Feeling puffy right along with you - no fun! Trying to bounce back into my gym routine, but I've been feeling so blah since our BFN last week.

     I gave our bedroom a much needed revamp this weekend. New mattress, sheets, curtains, wall art... feels much more cozy now. DH would cringe at my Home Goods and Target receipts, but hey :)

     Hope everyone enjoys the rest of your weekend! Thank you all again for the warm welcome! :)
