it's not Monday anymore
My mabis and TCOYF arrive from Amazon today and I love coming home to packages on my doorstep
it's supposed to be super warm all week!
My bestfriend is coming to visit this weekend!
I had girl guide cookies delivered to my door last night. I didn't even think they did that anymore.... who doesn't love girl guide cookies!
Old Navy is having a sale. I don't usually shop there but I think I am going to check it out on my lunch break. I need(want) some new spring dresses.
I really enjoyed the long weekend with my DH
We are starting to plan a weekend get away for June with some close friends. It's always nice to have something to look forward to.
It's been super busy at work which is nice because the days go by so much faster.
I am hoping the sun keeps shinning today so I can get out and walk my dogs this evening

Sparty18 · March 2016

The sun is out today!
I get to have some girls' nights this week while H is out of town.
It's almost April and I refuse to put on a winter coat now.
I really want to go eat some starbursts that a coworker has at her desk.
My mouth is now watering thinking about the starbursts.
Isn't it weird that a thought can make your mouth water?
I only have one meeting on my calendar today!
Since H is out of town during most of my FW, I am thinking maybe it will be a good change of pace that we will only be able to hit one or two days as opposed to going for ED. (Just trying to be positive here.)
13 days until my OB appointment!
I'm excited about TB book club we are starting here soon!

(except that is a lie, because, ya know... TTC and all)

beary67 · March 2016

1. Not a super busy day at work today!
2. I had a student in my office crying because of things happening in her personal life and I just sat with her and listened for like 30 minutes while she cried. She then sent me an email about how appreciative she was that I just listened to her.
3. Acupuncture tonight=relaxation time!
4. I purchased the Book Club book yesterday, and I'm excited to read along with @BerkeBaby and others!

ETA: Oops!! I thought the post above me was from @BerkeBaby but it was actually @Sparty18. Either way, I'm excited for Book Club with both of you (and everyone else participating)!!!

thj101 · March 2016

1. It's one more day closer to Friday!

Neikoda · March 2016

Sparty18 I am also super excited about this book club, except all of the physical copies of the book are checked out so I'm going to try out my libraries e-book option.

2. I just realized that I don't know where my kindle is right now so I have to find it when I get home.

3. Someone brought it pretzels covered in melted white chocolate with M&Ms on them. I waited until no one was looking. Then I took 3.

4. DH and I put off weekend grocery shopping until today while attempting to live off of holiday leftovers.

5. I downloaded the "Plant Nanny" app yesterday to try and encourage me to drink more water during the day. I carry a half gallon bottle with me and try to finish it by the end of the day.

6. I'm trying to get into a creative hobby like crocheting or knitting and I'm too impatient to get good at it. So I usually quit. DH hates that I do this.

7. I negotiated with DH on the crafty hobby by teaching our dog awesome tricks instead.

8. I'm trying to train my dog how to "sit pretty" but he sits lazy and tends to roll onto his butt while attempting to get the peanut butter from me.

thj101 I am now going to make DH buy Starburst jelly beans when he goes grocery shopping tonight.

10. The water pump replacement piece that DH has been waiting on should be in today, so he can finally fix his car and quit driving mine. I love the man but having some freedom from each other will be nice.

emilyn2012 · March 2016

TheJerilu · March 2016

TMI warning on mine for 1 through 3

I was really bummed yesterday because my weekly weigh-in was not so good after a weekend of nonstop pigging out + luteal progesterone plugging up my system
I discovered that a deep half pigeon pose is really great for stimulating stubborn bowels, but you may need to take an immediate intermission from yoga
My weight this morning was exactly what I was hoping it would be yesterday meaning I evacuated almost 3 pounds hahahah
We're moving to a new office next month and I got to create the seating chart for me team today
We've got our meals planned out for this whole week
Tofu and udon with korean vegetables tonight! I was even smart and started pressing the tofu this morning.
Wrestlemania this weekend! Can't wait to watch a bunch of half naked dudes hug each other and monologue.
I am successfully growing lettuce, which I am very proud of
I found out last week that HR loves my hair, which I was worried about since I work for a conservative company and maaaaybe have half my head shaved.
Our dog has been extremely energetic now that he has a backyard to play in. He's an old timer, and all of the sudden he's jumping and running around the house again. So happy to see him happy.

gonetothesea · March 2016

1. I am on my lunch break.
2. I'm eating a deviled crab with extra hot sauce and Spanish bean soup! With a large sweet tea! So good!
3. DH's appointment with the urologist went well last week. He gave him samples of Cialis and Viagra to see which he likes better.
4. This is making me super psyched for my FW in April!
5. I made the most delicious hoisin and mushroom burgers and sweet potato wedges from my Blue Apron order for dinner last night.
6. My cats both have fleas. Any suggestions on the best medicine? I tried capstar, but the fleas came back.
7. I am treating DH to see the Superman and Batman movie this weekend.
8. My DH, dad, and little brother are fixing our screened back porch this weekend! I'm so excited.
9. I am obsessed with the Facebook messenger basketball game. Must beat DH's high score.
10. My hair is starting to grow out since I hacked it all off a few months ago on an impulse. This makes me happy.

ladystinson · March 2016

1. We have so much Easter candy at home right now... both kids went to the hunt and at church and got candy, then both won a raffle basket at church, then both got a basket from the great grandmothers, grandmothers and the Easter Bunny... I'm throwing myself on the calories tonight to save their tiny bodies lol
2. This candy binge will be happening during a game of thrones marathon
3. Sadly that will be after I clean out the guinea pig cage and just generally straighten up the house from the Christmas/Easter/Birthday madness from the weekend
4. I had a salad for lunch, despite the crazy weekend I'm actually doing ok
5. DH's 17 y/o nephew (guess he's mine now too lol weird) spent the weekend with us and helped us get so much of our storage stuff straightened out and put into storage
6. I always start these lists with so many ideas, then I get around number 6 and go blank
7. I so badly want to take a nap right now
8. I was supposed to go out with my mom on saturday because I totally flaked last time since the house was a pit and we knew we had people coming for easter and I just remembered that my best friend's sons birthday party is that day... sigh... we're taking step-DS because hes the same age as her son and needs some friends that arent online (don't even get me started on that with a 6 year old...) but DS will be with exH and I'm just exhausted thinking about another weekend of running
9. I think I'm going to work on installing our new interior doors tonight which is far more exciting than it should be lol
10. I have nothing else, so I leave you with this Beyonce shake

@gonetothesea pet armor is what we use on our dogs. I'm sure they make it for cats too. within 3 days the fleas were gone without ever having to bomb the house. Its the same active ingredient as front line and WAAAAAAY cheaper

meilay · March 2016

1. Dentist visit went well. I hate going to the dentist by my new dentist may get me to change that.
2. I have therapy today and I really like my new therapist. After my last one had to "break up" with me to take a new job I was really bummed and just never tried going again. I'm trying to get all parts of my health in order for future LO so mental health could no longer be ignored.
3. I made an absolutely delicious dinner last night (slow cooked beef short ribs and greens) and have another planned tonight (pork chops and cabbage).
4. DH and I actually sat properly at the dining room table to eat last night instead of chowing in front of the TV.
5. I'm mulching my front yard and starting my garden in the back yard today. Lots of physical labor so no gym needed!
6. The book Birth Matters is really great to read and making me feel more confident in my choice to plan for an unmedicated birth when that time comes.
7. I'm planning to take DH on a date this weekend if he has time. It's a repeat of a date he was really excited about a few years ago that I ruined by bickering. Of course don't remember about what but I've been meaning to make it up to him for awhile.
8. Getting to watch daytime television is so awesome.
9. (possible TMI) I've just been feeling super sexy and frisky lately and as a result DH and I are HIO all the time. Hoping this feeling lasts. We're so relaxed and happy compared to the emotional mess of last month.
10. I'm excited to go to the farmer's market this weekend. Hopefully the strawberries are sweeter than a couple of weeks ago.

thj101 · March 2016

@meilay I LOVE GOING TO FARMER'S MARKETS. ***we don't have one in my town***

HLD3194 · March 2016

The sun is shining and I got to go on a walk during lunch

Decided I am treating myself to mani/pedi/coffee once a month (during summer)
I am going to look into acupuncture and quite excited about it
Paid all the bills for next month already

4. DH has dinner in the crock pot for tonight and I'm very happy about that.
5. I got my itinerary for my trip to Baltimore for a conference that school is reimbursing me for. I get over $1,200 in a couple of weeks from the school. It will feel like a bonus!

PennStateCait · March 2016

1. I'm sitting at my desk eating the Lucky Charms that are supposed to be used for a math lesson tomorrow.
2. I had a really fun time in California last week visiting my sister. Leaving her was hard. I'm looking forward to planning another trip.
3. I drove out of my way this morning to go to my favorite - Dunkin Donuts - to get iced coffee. So delicious.
4. I ordered some Elephant Pants from TheElephantPants.com and I am definitely going to need another pair. Comfy, cute, supports the elephants.
5. DH's best friend and his awesome gf got engaged this past weekend, yay!
6. DH is on a 7-day cruise for his mom's 50th this week. Wifi was stupid expensive so we opted not to get it but I miss texting him!
7. I made stuffed peppers on Sunday and have been eating them throughout the week. I seriously think I could live on stuffed peppers my whole life.
8. I got to go out with all my long-time friends on Saturday for my best friend's birthday. It was fun. I've cut out drinking and most of them know I'm ttc so the questions got a bit old. One of my friends asked "So who's broken, you or him?" and I had to explain it can take up to a year to conceive. It was nice to talk to someone aside from DH and I think I handled it well. It stung a bit though.
9. I took a four-hour nap yesterday, so necessary.
10. I don't know what else to writeeee

houseofsetters · March 2016

@PennStateCait I seriously cannot believe someone would ask that! Wha?! I would have burst into tears on the spot, bravo for educating them!

1. I decided to make soup this evening just for me, since H isn't a fan. That means I get soup for days!!
2. I decided to clean out my clothes, and got about halfway done this weekend. There are clothes everywhere! To be continued next weekend...
3. My foster dog is the cutest.
4. But he has a new habit of barking super loud for about 10 minutes in the middle of the night.
5. He better not mess up my temps!
6. The weather is gorgeous today.
7. I'm scheduling an acupuncture appointment this week. So excited about this!
8. I embarrassingly started crying at our friends' Easter lunch when my KU friend asked (in private) about how TTC is going. BUT now that she knows it's not going well, she is being awesome. It's good to have someone to talk to other than poor H.
9. I might make a rare cup of coffee to avoid taking a nap right now!
10. I'm actually really excited to work out tonight. And watch the Voice at the same time.

Dilynne · March 2016

1. I woke up early and got a lot of stuff accomplished at work.
2. Now I'm not doing any work and playing solitaire.
3. And eating almonds covered in coconut covered in dark chocolate. Delicious.
4. I think we're having spaghetti for dinner.
5.We just won a big trial that shouldn't have been a trial at all today and I'm 100% jazzed about it. (Possible TW - death?) Without giving specifics, an elderly lady ran a stop sign that was knocked down and she got charged with vehicular manslaughter because her elderly husband died 5 days later and they attributed his death to the accident even though he was cleared at the hospital afterwards.
6. I look wicked amazing awesome today. (Obviously I'm also super humble)
7. I'm so anxious about hearing from this place I applied to I just followed up and got an immediate response and was super excited, but it was an out of office reply

8. I play a slots app that gives you points towards actual free things in Vegas, so we're saving up to go as a sibling trip when my brother turns 21.
9. I'm probably going to go to bed before 9 today and I don't even feel bad.
10. I got my nails done this weekend and there are daisies on them and they make me feel pretty

whiska · March 2016

1. I'm going to the gym after work and getting a veggie roll for dinner!
2. This is partially to make up for skipping the gym and getting fries and a blizzard for dinner last night

No ragrets.
3. I also downloaded the plant watering app but basically just water it when it tells me to because I want to see it grow. I guess I just wanted a nanopet.
4. I wore a sparkly shirt today and felt extra fancy at work.
5. The sun is shining brightly in my office and it is simultaneously giving me life and making me want to park a cloud right in front of it.
6. I'm not sure I can do anymore planning for our trip so I'm sitting in that pre-departure time where it feels like I should be doing something. 2.5 weeks!
7. Express was having a 40% off everything sale and after roughly 30 emails I caved and bought a bunch of stuff last night online. Can't wait to get them in the mail.
8. I'm wearing new gym clothes and that always makes me feel good!
9. If I get a bfp this cycle the edd is my grandpa's birthday (turning 98 this year). That would be really sweet because I share a birthday with my great-grandma.
10. I don't know why but I have been way more... interested in bd-ing this cycle. It's made a nice change!

Sparty18 · March 2016

@beary67 We are having the same problem figuring out a good summer vacay. We are all over the place, from Cali to NYC...

@babymish Hooray for miscalculations!

@BerkeBaby Thanks for starting up the book club!!

@PennStateCait So now I just HAD to go look at these elephant pants, and of course now I want a pair. Save the elephants!

CoonMom · March 2016

1. I've been MIA for a few days and I'm sorry.
2. Our basement is coming along; we are finally painting which is eating up a lot of my evenings/bump time.
3. I still lurk daily; however I haven't checking the TWW in about a week. I feel bad if I miss someone I "knew" (aka a regular) but it was too difficult seeing the newbies come and go so quickly.
4. I have a half day of work tomorrow!!
5. Easter candy...enough said:)
6. DH and I started watching Wentworth and are really enjoying it.
7. My cold is still hanging around. I took Dayquil before bed last night...best decision ever. I slept great and didn't have a "Nyquil hangover."

10. Spring weather is here (for a day or two at least).

This lady at my work things I'm crazy when I say I miss him.
@ladystinson Dancing Beyonce! lol That is hilarious.
@emilyn2012 Welcome! I am all over the Easter candy right now. My butt does not appreciate it lol

1. I haven't been feeling well lately and DH found homemade chicken noodle soup in the freezer to heat up for us.
2. Easter weekend was awesome and I was able to spend lots of time with family.
3. Cadbury mini eggs. Enough said.
4. 10 more days until our vacation. I cannot wait to spend a week off with DH.
5. My puppy had her first encounter with a baby on the weekend and she was so sweet and gentle.
6. Everyone has been getting along great at work lately, makes the day go by so much smoother.
7. The weather has been beautiful lately, just wish I could enjoy it more during the day.
8. On more week until my mobile data resets and I can start bumping at work again.
9. Someone asked me today if I was pregnant and I instantly turned BSC. Somehow I convinced myself that my sore throat could be a pregnancy sign.
10. Going to go enjoy my soup now.

Also this is how I feel about all the crazy posts lately:

ladystinson · March 2016

@PepperAT I'm glad you enjoyed beyonce as much as I did. I laughed way too hard just thinking about it later lol
@whiska This! > I also downloaded the plant watering app but basically just water it when it tells me to because I want to see it grow. I guess I just wanted a nanopet. I would end up doing the exact same thing!
