2. I started another Whole30 yesterday and I already feel better!
3. I'm going to the gym today to my cardio kickboxing class.
4. I am glad I was able to make it through all the holidays. They weren't as rough as I was expecting.
5. We are planning on going snowboarding on the 23rd.
6. I am excited but if I am KU by then I will have to skip it.
7. I am glad that life is getting back to normal.
8. I probably should get going to work instead of doing this.
9. Sorry I forgot to post this last week.
10. Happy Tuesday!!!

anj27 · January 2016

1. I have a lingering cold which is annoying but I have been using it as an excuse to be super lazy at home and going to bed early.

2. My husband is coming into my office today to teach us things we are clueless about. He is so smart.

3. I keep flip-flopping between wanting to boycott my best friend and being a bigger person.

4. My new year's resolution is to get better at honking. Ok, not really, but I do suck at honking.

5. JetBlue is having a sale and maybe we will take a weekend trip somewhere.

6. My sister and her husband bought my husband a vest that is one size too small then the whole family proceeded to comment on how he gained weight. HA.

7. One of my Christmas presents from husband shipped late and is at the PO but he is taking his sweet time picking it up. Torture.

8. I am in desperate need of new bras.

9. I have to go to the mall to exchange a bunch of things. All the fragrances in the mall give me a headache.

10. Is too many.

Megzb510 · January 2016

1. My train is 10 min late today. It was 15 min late yesterday.
2. I love how the bump now automatically puts in numbers now when you press return.
3. So I was all excited about going to this scarf creating party next weekend. When I got the invite I didn't look at the day just saw the date and automatically assumed it was Saturday/Sunday. It's actually Monday at 7pm.

I don't even get in town on the train until 6:15, I haven't eaten, I have to pick up DS from my moms, and it's a half hour from my moms house. I hate rushing to things like that so gonna pass. I was really excited too.
4. DS has been a crabass while on winter break from preschool, with really bad tantrum behavior with punching and kicking and refusing to go to sleep at night. He has been trying to give up the nap and I think he legit still needs one. He fell asleep at like 730 last night and it was sooooo glorious. I got a couple hours to myself.
5. I'm ready for spring.
6. I need to set up a budget and I keep procrastinating on that. We spend so much money on eating out and random crap.
7. My train has arrived at the station so 7 is all I've got. I hope the bump doesn't cut off my response like it did last time.

Umbr+ella · January 2016

1. I'm glad 2015 is over, ready to make 2016 a great year!
2. It's CD1 and I have a sore throat, but I'm in a positive place right now so I'm not letting it get to me.
3. I'm starting an 8 week workout challenge today. There, I've said I'm doing it, so now I have to!
4. I just found out that my parents are going to be able to come to H's winging in March! We are going to have a house full.
5. I also found out that the week of H's winging is spring break, and we live on an island...
6. I started a new semester yesterday and I'm not motivated to do anything yet.
7. This is going to be an expensive month pet wise.
8. That's all I've got.

Tippy05 · January 2016

1. I'm still sick, but getting better.
2. DS woke up with a 102 fever today.
3. My house is still relatively clean, and that's after Christmas and having my in-laws stay with us for 5 days. I'm pretty proud that I've been able to keep up with it.
4. I miss temping.
5. I have no idea when/if I O'd but I think I'll trust FF this cycle. FX that it's not TOO far off.
6. I stopped to get a coffee on the way in to work this morning and I didn't realize until it was my turn in the drive thru that my windows were all frozen shut. I must have looked like the biggest dope opening my car door in single digit temperatures to order, pay for, and get my coffee.
7. My single, barely 21 year old cousin, who doesn't have a job, a college education or a drivers license, just had her baby yesterday. WTF.
8. I know this is supposed to be a positive-ish type post, but all mine seem negative today. Sorry.
9. It's supposed to "warm up" and get into the 40's tomorrow!
10. My half day is almost over, then I can go home and snuggle with my poor DS.

jhems776 · January 2016

1. Took a bump break over the holidays, I love being on here but it both seems to add and relieve my TTC anxiety.
2. The holidays were better than expected.
3. If I get KU this cycle the due date will be my brother's birthday, I'm super trying to not take this as a sign.
4. If this isn't out cycle I'm thinking of TTA for two months for a wine cabin weekend with a wine meetup group, it sounds awesome and awful if I would be sober.
5. We have been talking about houses again and we need to make 20% more to afford a house we would like and realized that house will never be in the top places we like.
6. My job is super low stress but eh pay, I've been so bored and no upward possibility. I feel trapped here for half a year so I can keep the retirement match, but then I will want to stay for either TTC or being KU.
7. I currently weigh the highest I ever have and cannot get the willpower to eat better, I feel pathetic.
8. I'm wearing new shoes today and I love them.
9. I'm seeing a play this weekend and I'm super excited.
10. So far I don't mind the cold.

FSUNole31 · January 2016

1. My house is a constant state of disaster between my two kids and the one I watch during the day.
2. My dogs keep digging holes and dragging in dirt.
3. I can't wait to go to Disney world at the end of the month.
4. I can't decide if I want to go back to blonde or stay brunette a little longer.
5. I put off my 21 day fix program and I really need to stop procrastinating and just start it already.
6. We finally have some cool weather down here in FL and I am really enjoying it.
7. The kids are currently hiding under the kitchen table while I type this because they don't want to nap.
8. I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight.
9. I really want to move into a bigger (and nicer house) once I go back to work full time.
10. We are making penguins after nap today and I don't feel like cutting out the pieces because I want to use nap time to eat lunch and mindlessly watch tv.

housewifehobbyist · January 2016

1. I'm also happy to be starting a new year.

2. I'm going to Mexico in 2 months and started Shredding to get that bikini body and I'm sore as hell

3. I also found a squat challenge app that I have a love/hate relationship with

4. I'm a lunatic that is already planning my "announcement" if I get KTFU this cycle

5. I know it is January and all but I was NOT prepared for this cold!

6. Of course when we moved offices in July I snagged the desk by the window..which now seems like a horrible mistake as they are not well insulated.

7. My diet on the other hand is going well because I refuse to go outside, so I am forced to eat the healthy lunch I brought.

8. It's only 11:30 and I already feel like I need a nap.

9. I'm planning a friend's bachelorette party in Pennsylvania, where my parents live, and had some things shipped to their house. Amazon sent it faster than I expected and I didn't have time to tell them what the boxes are for. I now have to explain to my 65 year old mother why a glittery gold penis pinata is in her foyer.

10. I really need to focus on work.

CopperBoom86 · January 2016

1. I'm glad the holidays are over because I hate excessive spending and excessive eating.
2. I think I need to start temping.
3. My SIL is 22, single, unemployed; loves smoking marijuana, drinking until she blacks out, and taking things that don't belong to her... and she's having a baby today. Kill. Me.
4. I'm almost finished watching all of Gilmore Girls for the 8th time. I can't wait until Netflix releases the new episodes!
5. I went to Zumba last night and I can't stop thinking about how I might have ruined my chances of conception this month because of too intense exercise during the TWW.
6. I have new workout pants and sneakers "out for delivery" today. YAAAASSSS.
7. I've had John Mayer's "Stop This Train" stuck in my head for days. Super depressing.
8. DH brought up baby names last night and while we discussed it, I forgot for a while how scared I was of not being able to conceive. It was nice.
9. I hate being at work with nothing to do when I know I could be doing 54,143,454 things at home.
10. I've tried ALL FREAKING MORNING to figure out how to put a GIF into my signature and I just can't. I've read all the tutorials, copied all the links, and tried all the codes... I guess it's just not in the cards for me.

PeggyOlsonFTW · January 2016

@housewifehobbyist Where in Mexico? I'm insanely jealous.

1. My body just needs to shit or get off the pot.

2. DS finally has one of his two year molars cutting through the gum in three spots. He's a crank ass, has been up at 5:30 the past two days and most of what he says now is, "Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Cawwy me!"

3. Two of my tests came back already. The thyroid and clotting tests came back normal.

4. My label maker came!!!!! I'm so freaking excited. I want to label all the things. The dog might even get a label.

5. I'm tired of one of my Facebook acquaintances. In the last two months, she's complained about how "broke" she is and how she really needs her husband's business to start taking off, but she's also posted about how she spent $800 on Christmas decorations, $700 on a mattress set for her 18 month old, bought three $200 bean bag chairs, got a huge ruby and diamond ring for her birthday and is heading to the Dominican next week. Oh, and she has two other trips planned too. STFU already.

6. I'm overly excited for football playoffs.

7. I want to read more, but I can't make myself do it right now.

8. Today is my dog's "doggy-versary". We took him home on this day almost a decade ago!

9. I just cleaned my computer screen off for the first time in almost a year. Oops.

10. I spent way too much at Target today. Oh well.

FSUNole31 · January 2016

@PeggyOlsonFTW my daughter finally has 2 of her 2 year molars coming through as well. I cannot wait for the tops to come in and be done with teeth for at least a little bit!

housewifehobbyist · January 2016

@PeggyOlsonFTW My best friend is getting married at a super fancy all inclusive resort 20 miles outside of Cancun. Its waaay more money than we'd normally spend on a vacation, but as we have to go anyway I'll just enjoy the warm weather and ritzy accommodations (and the four day open bar if I'm not knocked up by then).

Also H is a Jets fan and I can't even hint at the playoffs right now without him starting a rant.

ShallowSeas · January 2016

1. AF is almost gone. Today should be her last day and I can't wait.
2. I've already failed at my New Year resolution. THIS IS WHY I DONT MAKE THEM.
3. DH knows how anxious I get about having blood drawn so we're getting chinese takeout tonight since I was stressed

4. Still freaking out about my HSG Friday.
5. I bought a really pretty mirror and a shelf for our entryway. I can't wait until they're delivered!
6. DH and I started watching "Making a Murderer" on Netflix last night...can't.stop.watching. Anyone else watching this?
7. I decided to treat myself to some vending machine cookies. The bag of cookies got stuck and wouldn't fall down -_- I kicked and shook the vending machine like a mad woman but to no avail. A deputy came by (i work in a jail) and shook the machine...it came tumbling down. I have cookies now

8. I really want to participate in TTGP's January siggy challenge but I also don't want to Google "accidentally phallic" on my work computer sooooo...maybe next month. I usually only Bump from work unfortunately. TB mobile is too frustrating to me.
9. I bought a Bissell Little Green spot cleaner and I'm SO EXCITED TO CLEAN ALL THE STAINS. I'm old.
10. I want a nap.

babymish · January 2016

1. I only just got into prison break so we have the whole lot to watch

2. We spent the last 3 days of the holidays in our pj's watching prison break back to back (we did shower & eat also)

3. AF is slowing down and tomorrow should be the last day

4. If I hit my target at work for a US project I'll be going to New York in February to attend the event!!

5. I'm excited for 2016 and TTC

6. My iPad broke and I got a brand new one right before the warranty ran out

7. I no longer feel nauseous from AF

8. The working day is over and I'm back home in my pj's (I love pj's)

9. SO is on his way home so we can eat soon (I'm starving)

10. It's hump day tomorrow!

anj27 · January 2016

@housewifehobbyist Glittery gold penis pinata seems pretty self-explanatory. @PeggyOlsonFTW Happy doggy-versary to your pup!

CajunSnowWhite89 · January 2016

Im not sure when **tw** is needed, but just in case, friend's pregnancy is mentioned.

1. DH actually woke up and went walking with me this morning!
2. I painted my nails last night and I managed to get them completely dry without smudging them. Success!
3. I scheduled my yearly with my gyn and I'm going to ask for info/ referrals to an RE. I'm really scared, but proud of myself for actually taking that first step.
4. My really good friend found out she's having a boy yesterday and I'm really excited for her. I think she'll love being mom to a boy.
5. Work is finally returning to normal after the holiday break. Finally.
6. I've started writing in a journal about TTC and I'm actually remembering to use it and I feel like it's working. I just write and vent and once it's down on paper I feel like I can let it go. It's making me a lot happier in general.
7. I've remembered to take my Vitamins for the past few days, let's see if I can keep it up.

Kay6519 · January 2016

1. Tomorrow is my Friday!
2. DH is making me venison chili for dinner! Yum!
3. I'm excited for TTC this cycle since our timing / BDing has been great so far!
4. My vaccuum and carpet washer both decided to stop working last weekend, so I now have an excuse not to clean until the washer gets back from the shop and we pick up a new vaccuum.
5. DH is taking me purse shopping after work tonight!
6. I recently started using EPO and can honestly say it seems to be helping. I used to have issues with low CM production in spite of drinking water like a camel. Since starting EPO, CM production has not been an issue.
7. DH planned an awesome trip including a reservation in a "Hobbit hole" for my birthday in March. So excited to get away for a bit!
8. House hunting is an exhausting roller coaster of emotions.
9. Quitting caffeine cold turkey on Monday was a rough start to a healthier diet.
10. The work day is nearly over!

pretzel2plus1 · January 2016

I've literally been thinking all day to try to get to 10! Here goes...

1. I'm so happy to be starting a new year. 2015 was rough for us!

2. My new puppy got really sick over the weekend. He's better now but gave us quite the scare!

3. We're about to replace our back door because it's not shutting properly. I had no idea how expensive doors are!!

4. I really despise cold weather. I'm a shorts and flip-flops kind of gal!

5. DH is a huge Alabama fan, and he's so excited for them to play in the national championship next Monday.

6. AF is also due next Monday, so it would be fun to get a BFP that day and give him an Alabama onesie to tell him. I'll just keep dreaming over here...

7. We were informed today that a coworker has taken another job. While I'm happy for him, my workload is about to increase again. After I just got caught up. Ugh.

8. I keep hearing about Making a Murderer on Netflix. I'm going to have to check it out. I'm currently in the middle of Friends, though, so it might be a while.

9. After a month of crocheting Christmas presents for family and friends, I'm finally working on a few things for myself. My best friend spins yarn, and she made me some beautiful pink and purple yarn!

10. I did it!! I guess this one doesn't really count, but I'm proud of myself for getting to 10.

CoonMom · January 2016

1. It's month end and the first week bad to work....it sucks:(
2. I was on hold for 4 hours today do to system errors while processing payroll.
3. Tomorrow is my birthday (29). I've always hated my birthdays.
4. I recently filled my last prescription for my PNVs which marks a year of trying:(
5. My dogs have been hogging my bed. One actually has been barking at me when I get up and move her. I think she's ill:(
6. I'm actually wishing AF would appear so we can start trying again. We had a MC in December.
7. Our refrigerator isn't working properly again. I just want some ice and cold water. DH refuses to make big purchases. He wanted this $200 tablet for Christmas so he asked for gift cards so make the purchase. He has enough GCs/cash from other gifts to buy it but is still refuses. WTF?!?!
8. I've asked DH to tell put our end tables together two weeks ago and they are still half done:(
9. KU coworker is waiting for the right time to announce at work; it will probably be tomorrow on my Bday:(
10. It's sooo cold:(

Sorry for the B***** session.

MrsDho11 · January 2016

1. I woke up, temped, was satisfied with said temp, and that was the high point of my day, hands down. Ugh. It hasn't been any one thing, but lots of tiny little things that all add up, you know?
2. I feel like I could fall asleep right now and sleep the whole night. It is only 5:30, and I took a nap before lunch. Ugh. I can only assume this means I'm getting a cold and/or bronchitis. Again.
3. I slipped in the parking lot at the grocery store like a huge idiot this morning. I didn't hit the ground, but I'm enough of a special snowflake with my awful shoulder that the flailing around I did hurt a bunch. And I've been sore all day since.
4. I made some homemade chicken noodle soup today after my nap. I had it for lunch, and I"ll probably also have it again for dinner shortly. It is really good... I always freestyle it, and I had these chipotle wheat noodles, so I went Mexican with the flavoring. And I put Avocado in it. I'm so hopelessly Californian...
5. I think I got DH to agree to a new system for us wrt our shared car for a couple months, so I'll know I can have it until 9:30 each morning unless he tells me otherwise.
6. Related to #5-- the pool changes up their lap swim availability roughly monthly, and I was super excited when I realized today that, for January at least, the good pool (it's larger and cooler... the other one is too hot, IMO) is going to be open for lap swimming at 8am each day! WOOOHOOO! I've been going around 6:30 every morning and swimming in the gross pool (which they now temporarily covered, so it's extra steamy), so this should be a big improvement.
7. I'm listening to the Nutcracker right now. I don't care if it's January. I can listen to this all year long... and will periodically.
8. I love tea to unhealthy levels. Except tea is so healthy!!!
9. I haven't cross-stitched in sooooo long and I miss it, but the cats attack the strings when I try. I've yet to figure out a solution for that.
10. I think at this point, I can conclusively say that the migraine that stretched to 4 days is gone! WOOOOO!

PennStateCait · January 2016

Hi guys! I'm trying to post more often here and this looked like fun!

1. I am having a 3 day migraine but the great part is that I am taking tomorrow off for a ME day and hopefully the migraine will be GONE. (@MrsDho11 seems like we have something in common! I'm hoping mine doesn't stretch to day 4)
2. My husband's company's holiday party is this weekend and we're staying at a fancy hotel (dog-friendly too, best part!)
3. I was in Garland for the F4 tornado and survived.
4. My husband's birthday is this month, shopping for him is really fun.
5. Starbucks gift card from xmas was used this morning, much needed after a sleepless night. YUM.
6. A bunch of you are talking about getting fit and I'm over here like... there's cookie dough in my fridge I'm looking forward to eating tonight.
7. I finished Making a Murderer (@pretzel2plus1, put Friends on hold, you'll be so sucked into Making a Murderer it will only take you 2-3 nights of religious watching!)
8. I spilled water on the top of my Macbook last night (it was closed, I dried it off and let it dry all night without power) and today it seems fine. Yesssss! *knock on wood*
9. Redskins are in the playoffs!
10. There is a huge American Eagle sale right now (60% off clearance stuff). I've purchased many things on many different nights. Am I too old for American Eagle?

@CajunSnowWhite89 I love your #2 about your nails! DH thinks I'm such a silly person always scuffing up my nails 5 seconds after I paint them but it always happens... stupid nail polish!

MrsDho11 · January 2016

@PennStateCait - mine usually cap out at Day 3, so it was certainly an unpleasant turn of events. I hope yours goes away before your day off tomorrow! Let's see if we can't find something else we have in common sometime, yeah?

Also... I'm glad you survived the tornado. Tornadoes scare me.

CajunSnowWhite89 · January 2016

@PennStateCait I hate it! Even if they are dry to the touch they still end up scuffing somehow! Haha

@dogmomwantinghuman @MrsDho11 sorry ya'll are having shitty days!

I miss temping too. I haven't been don't it because if night nursing, but not being she about O is torturous. I'm just Gina temp next month and see what I get.

1. I am so over this semester. I'm a teacher, and I get new students in February. Hallelujah!
2. I also have state testing for my students this week and next week. Boo.
3. My mom watches my son while I'm at work. She also does my dishes every day. Every damn day. I sometimes act sheepish and assure her she doesn't need to do this, but I don't sell it very hard.
4. I hate dishes. My dry skin gets out of control in the winter. My fingers feel like they are being stabbed with knives. Vaseline and bandaids are my friends tonight.
5. I'm watching Making a Murderer, and it's great. But I feel so skeptical watching it. I need to watch a Making Making a Murderer. I'm so sure there is a lot more to the story than in the carefully crafted documentary.
6. I am freezing.
7. Thankfully it will get in the high forties by the weekend.
8. Ten things is hard.
9. My husband just walked in the room dancing in his new boxer briefs I got him. I believe this is a mating dance.

ETA nm, he just shut the bathroom door and turned the vent on. So yeah, I guess I'll keep bumping.

10. Husbands be trippin'.

m6agua · January 2016

@PennStateCait you reminded me that my DH holiday party is Sunday. I'm excited but then I remembered I'm doing whole30 so I can't eat the food. Maybe I'll just make the exception. Also I'm from WI so I'm sorry but I hope we beat the redskins on Sunday. Also being from Wisconsin I watched making a murderer. I was in high school when everything was in the news so I only vaguely remember it. However I do feel the documentary was very one sided. It was good but I don't think it's right to form an opinion solely on it.

PennStateCait · January 2016

@m6agua May the best team win! I'd never heard of the case before, that's pretty cool that you remember when it was all going down. I watched the documentary and then read up online about the evidence they didn't include and now I'm not sure what to think. However, as a teacher, the parts with the nephew kill me (trying to be vague here for anyone who hasn't watched).... I have so many students with similar IQs that act like that and would probably do the same under interrogation.
