What's new with you? What's good in your life? C'mon, ladies, let's get that daily shot of GRATITUDE up in here! <img title="Image: https://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/whats-good.gif" src="https://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/whats-good.gif" alt="" height="280" width="498">
1. Seeing this thread made me start singing "Seven Things" by Miley Cyrus. Back before she was bsc. 2. I'm laying in bed, wishing I could sleep but the landscapers are here mowing and my dog is barking like a lunatic for the past hour and a half. 3. Poor DH, I slept on his pillow all night with him. He had zero space meanwhile my dog had my pillow and my side of the bed. 4. AF is much lighter today! Always exciting when you are not going to bleed for 7 days straight .. *knock on wood* 5. I don't have any musts today, which is nice!! 6. I do have to do laundry though. 7. I have small groups tonight!! Love those people. 8. Laundry reminded me of the socks I just bought - they are super tight and compression-like.. and after running around for 13 hours straight, my ankles are really puffy. No me gusta. Idk why these socks are so unusual. Under Armor brand. 9. I should go work out today, but my hair is cute and I don't want to have to wash it again yet. 10. DH wants to trade in his brand new pick up truck for a 6 year old SUV.. I shake my head and roll my eyes. Idk if I will ever see the logic to this.

1. This is my favourite non-snark thread. 2. We were at the cabin all weekend and I got a bit of a tan. 3. There was also a wicked storm, which are my favourite. 4. Also there is a stray cat at the cabin. He became my friend and I named him Mysterious because he only comes around when the resident cat, Ollie, is running around. 5. Like I said in WTO yesterday, starting cycle 3 after a 31 day cycle is WAY better than the 60+ cycle of last time. 6. My volunteer wind up is tonight! 7. Bossman gave us Friday off with pay because he's got a golf tournament. 8. I got to hang out with my cousin and her kids last night. They're so darn cute. 9. I changed the radio to 80's and I'm super jazzed about it. 10. Sunny D and cheese for breakfast.
1. So I had to miss my cousin's wife's shower on Saturday... but the good news is A. The solo they asked me to sing at Church instead went over great! The way everyone broke out into applause as soon as I let go my last note was just an incredible feeling! B. The FB pictures from the shower look kinda lame anyway (don't tell her I said that)
2. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day! I've got the back door wide open (even though we don't have a screen, whoopsie! whatever lol)
3. I had my first Creighton intro session yesterday and it went fine. I have a lot of emotions coming up over that, but really, it was fine and the instructor is very nice and gave me a big ole hug!
4. The puppy is getting so big! He brought a stick in the house and I don't even care because they are playing so nicely over it. The vaccuuming can wait!
5. We have so much beautiful fresh fruit and greens in the house right now! Peaches, plums, watermelon, apples, bananas, escarole, collards, spinach and kale - not to mention gorgeous tomatoes and fresh lemons! I have not excuse not to have lots of nice healthy snacks today!
6. ...that plus DH and I destroyed all the cookies in the house last night over tea. Whoops! #sorrynotsorry
7. I made an awesome Sunday dinner Monday night, of braised chicken thighs with all the veggies, rice and greens and DH was all this is why I married you. Basically.
8. My cousin who just graduated college took a celebratory trip to Asia with her gf and made it home safe and sound!
9. DH is working on a fun project converting an old beater trailer into an awesome weekender hauler for our canoe and bicycles! He is amazing and I can hardly wait to see once it's all finished!
10. DH is out onsite today so now I get the house/office to myself! Here's hoping I can make it a productive day, including both office and housework...
Hope you make it an awesome day and week as well! <3 you guys!!
1. Closed up my classroom yesterday and it is officially summa-summa-summertime(summertime)! 2. DH and I took my car to get some routine maintenance done and on the way, his started making a grinding noise. Thankfully the dealership was able to get his in too and it didn't happen in the middle of his 30 mile commute later today! 3. The waiting area at the dealership has complimentary pastries and they are gooood. 4. Bath & Body Works brought back Peony and I fully intend to purchase an unreasonable amount. 5. We have never crated our dog but wanted to try it for a trip she will be joining us for next month. We set up the crate last night and she took to it immediately! 6. We leave for vacation in just over 36 hours! 7. DH & I have already knocked out two of the projects on our summer to-do list. 8. It's my birthday month! 9. I've learned how to use the Overdrive app from our local library and I've just started my second ebook in a week! The school year doesn't leave much time for reading for pleasure so I'm leaving no time to waste. 10. The Bump has gone though a lot of changes since I first joined in 2014 and I was hesitant to sign back on when TFAS. I am so glad I did because if you ladies aren't the kindest, most supportive bunch on the interwebs.
1. It's going to be a beautiful day today! I'm planning to get outside at lunch and go for a walk.
2. I ran a mile this morning. I've really been slacking on my exercise and I am ready to get back into it! I feel great about it. Looking for a 5k to do one of these weekends.
3. I treated myself to a delicious breakfast egg white sandwich this morning.
4. I have a cute maxi skirt on today
5. We have summer Fridays at work and close early, but I wasn't able to leave early the past few weeks. But I am planning to leave early this Friday!
6. I'm not traveling for work this week.
7. H made delicious chicken sausage on the grill with veggies last night for dinner, and I got to take the leftovers for lunch. YUM.
8. I am focusing on the positives today, and this thread helps me do that.
9. I ate some leftover cake with H last night and had a limoncello drink with it - delicious.
10. H has some time of coming up in a week - I'm looking forward to taking a few days off as well to snuggle/spend with him.
1. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical, 50 crunches, and 50 chest flys with my hour at the gym today and i feel incredibly sore but also very accomplished. 2. I can finally see the bottom of our pool! It hasn't been opened in at least three years (we bought the house in September) and it's been crazy cloudy since opening it last weekend. 3. I have nothing planned for this weekend, which is a big giant relief. I love my friends but I need some time off from socializing. 4. The weather is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to grilling some turkey burgers tonight 5. H and I have our four year anniversary next Friday and we've planned to keep it chill, take the days off, and go to Cabela's and the old Yuengling plant. Low expectations and low stress! 6. I also finally bought H's anniversary present last week, so that's out of the way. 7. My bosses are in Europe for the summer (we have several seasonal properties there) so hopefully I'll have more time to bump! 8. We have a bed and blinds up in our dining room-turned-guest bedroom! Once we get some doors in we've effectively increased the house's value by 20k. 9. My peony plants are popping up! I'm not expecting any flowers this season, but it's nice to see them growing. 10. I'm still awaiting the Homegoods shopping spree I was promised for my birthday- the list of wants is growing!
1. DH is super supportive always. 2. There were no more seats for the symphony I wanted to go to next Tuesday so that was a bummer but it means I still get to go to book club next week since it was at the same time. 3. I've lost 10 lbs so far. 20 more to go! 4. Weather looks like it's going to be nice for the rest of the week so we're grilling for dinner hopefully at least 3 nights this week! 5. We're getting a blue apron delivery Friday! 6. I was all excited to watch CSI again from the beginning but somehow I lost Season 1 disk 1. Luckily I found it on Amazon for only $4. It is used but says Like New condition and I really only need disk 1 to work. 7. I get to see my nephew Saturday! 8. I got both hamsters to come out this morning, yesterday 1 refused to come out of his sleeping sock. 9. Nice weather means we can take the motorcycle to work, (though we didn't today b/c I need to stop at Target)! 10. My watering can had tipped over outside and I picked it up on Sunday to fill it inside and then water the plants. I set it on my counter and was putting away groceries and DH heard some weird scratching noise coming from it. It turned out to be a vole who had made a nest in there. I'm thankful DH heard him and I didn't fill it with water. He is safely released into the woods behind our place. Here's a pic I snapped, he's a cutie!
1. Feeling super motivated about eating healthy today. 2. Going to Zumba with a friend after work tomorrow! 3. Hoping the rain will hold off tonight, and I can work on a client's dresser this evening. 4. Getting a ready to bake meal from a friend tonight, so dinner is taken care of and I am so glad. 5. Going to a Farmhouse pop up fair with my SIL this Friday and I am super stoked. 6. Really enjoying nights on our newly furnished deck. 7. I just got snapchat, and the selfie filters just really make my day. 8. We are having a cookout next Saturday and I am really excited to see all my friends. 9. Counting down the days to 4th of July and another day off. 10. Happy to see all of the compassionate stories of people pulling together for the victims of the shooting in Orlando. It's a good reminder that there is still good in the world.
Me: 33 DH: 36 Together since 2007 Happily Ever After 4.30.2015 ~~One Beautiful Daughter~~ Born: 11.6.2017 Trying for #2!!
@Sugargirl1019 - the struggle is real with the pillows and dogs. One of mine likes to sleep with his head on my pillow, and the other likes to get in my legs like I'm birthing her. SMH. @Dilynne - I literally LOL'd at the cheese and Sunny D. That's epic! @BusinessWife - isn't fresh product the absolute BEST?! I'm so jealous. I want to go shopping, but I'm about to leave and I don't want to waste a bunch of stuff. @belocin - yay for vacation - where are you going??? @SandwichLover - Cute clothes days always make me feel good. I need to find some cute maxis - my struggle is so real because I'm about to start selling LuLaRoe (the onboarding wait time is like 12 weeks right now, so I have a ways to go) and I want all the things now, but I don't want to pay retail when I have to drop over $6k to get started. FAIL! @housewifehobbyist - Isn't grilling season the best? I grilled Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND yesterday. Probably again tonight. And Homegoods is a gift from the gods. @marriedhamstermom CONGRATS on 10 lbs! That's awesome! @thj101 - Farmhouse popup sounds right up my alley. I hope you score something awesome!
1. I have a somewhat short work week this week. We have our Summer Party on Thursday, but I have to be at home for some contractors. Good and bad. 2. 2 paydays this week! Tomorrow for my husband's and Friday for mine. That's always fun 3. I ordered some new leggings and a new top because why not 4. I decided to take the plunge and be a LuLaRoe consultant. I'm pumped to get my initial inventory in (but it's going to be like 12 weeks). I think I can be pretty successful with my circle and my neighborhood. 5. I was able to book window seats on this last minute trip to Asia that I have to take on Tuesday. Last trip I was stuck in MIDDLE seats for both of the 16 hour flights which was the absolute worst ever in the history of all the things. 6. My temps haven't plummeted, and I've made it more days in this cycle than the last. 7. I did good last week and was active every day. Going to keep the streak going this week! 8. My washer wasn't broken, it was just our water heater that randomly turned off and killed all the hot water and hot water pressure. 9. They will start work on my kitchen cabinets AND roof AND drywall repair on Thursday, and I'm so ready to have that crap done. 10. Since my work trip got moved up, I'll be home for 4th of July weekend and our party is back ON!
@belocin Thanks for the Bath and Body Works tips! I have two GCs from Xmas that I thought I would never use. My Aunt-IL gives them to me and I don't really shop there. Because of your enthusiasm I ordered 3 peony body washes and 3 lotions! As well as a foot cream. I don't know why but it never occurred to me that I could use GCs online until 5 mins ago. (Sign that I'm getting old! lol... ''whats this internet/snapchat business all the kids are talking about?!!") Anyways, Thanks for the tip!

@krys I say this about things ALL the time! A little hyperbole is good, right?
1. It's our 19th anniversary today! Holla! 2. We are going to our favorite restaurant tonight for schwancy dinner noms and wine, wine, wine.
3. H just surprised me by getting Jason Isbell tickets which went on presale today and were apparently a large ass pain to get. Only four months until the show! 4. I worked until 8:30 p.m. yesterday so I slept until 7:00 a.m. today. 5. My director brought home grown tomatoes for us to take home. **see above gif** 6. I've never read/seen anything Harry Potter (I think I used that as an UO not too long ago) so a coworker brought me the first book. Kind of excited! 7. It's pretty outside but dang, it's hot! 8. I leave for vacation on Saturday! Going to Savannah with H until Wednesday and have the rest of the week off! (This should have been #3). 9. Thinking mani/pedi during lunch. 10. I like this group!
ETA to properly spell schwancy

Our office got an espresso machine/milk steamer. I've had hand-crafted lattes every day this past week and it's amaaaaaaazing.
A group of coworkers and I have already set up a milk trade for the lattes, where one of us buys a 1/2 gal for the week.
Busted my phone at a wrassling show on Friday, but the crack is in a spot where my phone is still 95% usable, meaning I don't have to rush to get it replaced.
Also I never got around to cancelling my insurance, so I don't even have to buy a new one.
OUR HVAC NIGHTMARE IS 100% OVER. They finally finished up on Saturday.
Finally figured out at least part of partner's birthday gift for next month. Gonna cross-stitch the logo from one of his favorite art films.
I've got a 4 day hot streak on my Misfit. By the way, highly recommend the Misfit as it does points rather than steps, so vigorous exercise counts for more. Also cheapoli.
Partner acknowledged that I am the grill-master last night, but he did okay.
Grilled venison flank steak is delicious.
Picked up some new trades of the comics I love, so I've got reading for the week.
@ahrains Congratulations on 19 years!! That is awesome! Also, home-grown tomatoes are basically the best thing ever in the history of all the things, imho ;)
@BusinessWife Happy to hear that your solo went well! @belocin Enjoy your vacation! Where are you going? @housewifehobbyist Enjoy your anniversary trip! Sounds like fun. @ahrains Happy anniversary!
1) The weather is starting to look really nice for the weekend. Hello 80 degrees and sunshine. 2) I broke my nose over the weekend but there was no deviation so, hooray for not needing to re-break it. 3) I'm planting some daises with my mom this weekend. I'm trying my best to adapt a green thumb. 4) FIL & BIL's are coming over tomorrow night for dinner. We're going to grill. 5) I had steak for the first time in 5 years last week and it was pretty good. 6) DH and I are taking a road trip next month to see an awesome concert. STOKED. 7) I already bought our 1 year anniversary present; So excited to go to a NYG football game! 8) I have tentatively made my appointment for my hysteroscopy. I'm scared to death but I'm ready to have some good lookin' tubes! 9) I have a gift certificate for a mani & pedi that I intend to use this weekend. 10) I made it to 10!
@TheJerilu Yay team Misfit! Also YAS to espresso machine/milk steamer! I want!
@ahrains congrats on your anniversary!! WOW!! where yall going?!
1. I get to take my dog to work with my everyday so that's amazing and I shouldn't take that for granted. H is here everyday too but that's more... whatevs
2. I started drinking coffee again in the mornings on the drive to work. It's so warm and calming!
3. Birds are really responding to the wild bird feeder and mix my MIL gave me. Really enjoy birding from inside the house.
4. The whole lemon chicken from Trader Joes is OMG YAS! Its cheap, $12 and easy! Throw it in the oven for a hour and go about your life. (I used to be a Sous Chef/Trainer for Del Friscos so usually I complicate all our meals. Easy, good for you meals are finds for me!)
5. H and my aunt are doing another marathon. My dad signed up to walk the half. Super proud of them! Really thinking about walking the half with my dad. I think it would be a fun experience and memory to have.
6. We paid all our bills for this week.
7. Talked about going to a Sushi restaurant with H. Maybe tomorrow. Its one of those revolving sushi places and everything comes out on a conveyor belt. Good sushi and just good fun!
8. Its lunch time!
9. Logos/ the new website is coming along and looking good.
10. My vegetable garden is coming along nicely as well!
1. We had an awesome weekend hanging out with family and friends. Saturday we just hung out, played yard games, drank, ate, and then hit up the casino. 2. I beat the neighbor out of the neighborhood this morning. They drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit and there's no chance to pass them for milessssss. 3. Our little dog is just so sweet and cute and I love him so much. I love cuddling with him in the mornings. 4. I was talking to H about how tired I am of dealing with peeing on things (fun story - peed right into my palm in a gas station bathroom on Saturday - period was 2 days early but also super short and I was planning on drinking and so I wanted to be certain.) and he thanked me for doing all of the temping and testing and stuff. 5. Raspberries are coming into season! 6. I cleaned the drain in the shower out last night. Gaggggg gaggity gag. I almost barfed. But now it drains really well! And I'm considering shaving my head. 7. There's a food truck party in my town this Saturday. 8. I've been getting more gym time recently. Vacation always throws me off and I haven't been properly insistent on making time in the evenings for me to do that. 9. I'm no expert on Lin-Manuel Miranda but I'm pretty certain that he is a gift to this world. 10. Picked up the dad mug I made for H. It may not be for the cycle I planned it for or for any time in the near future but it did turn our really cute. So there's that!

1. Our patio garden is coming to life! There is actually food growing! 2. I have the most patient and understanding husband and I love him so much. 3. I get to visit with my nephew tomorrow. He is so cute and adventurous. 4. We are actually going camping this weekend and I'm excited to get out of town and just disconnect for a couple days. 5. I'm eating the best salad for lunch. I'm not a huge veggie person, but I'm trying. 6. DH has the week off of work and is getting a lot of chores done around the house, it's extra nice going home now. 7. It's been so nice out the last couple of days, which means lovely summer evening walks! 8. I'm so thankful for my sister. I can talk to her about anything and even though we have a big age gap, we get along really well. 9. We went to the farmers market on the weekend and got 2 fresh pies. One of them is totally getting devoured tonight! 10. My dog was super cuddly this morning. It made it really hard to leave for work, but that face!! So squishy!
1. I have an interview on Friday and I am really excited about a potential career change + more money + working with one of my bffs. 2. Bought a new outfit for the interview and cannot wait to wear it. 3. My parents sold their house and moved into the city so I got to have lunch with my mom today. She was in an excellent mood because the last of the furniture was delivered. 4. She is also making DH and I dinner tonight!! Yayyy for not cooking. 5. We noticed little tiny tomatoes on our vine this morning. So excited for them to grow so I can eat them. 6. The herbs are also doing really well and I have chicken marinating to grill for lunches the rest of the week. (Guys can you tell I like food?!) 7. Will probably enjoy a glass of wine tonight in this beautiful weather. (And wine, all the wines) 8. Signed up for yoga tomorrow morning and hoping it will help this back pain I've been having! 9. Also scheduled a massage tomorrow with a gift certificate I have laying around. I should be totally zen by 7 pm tomorrow night. 10. Purchased our 2nd year anniversary gift - cotton? I went with new Egyptian Cotton Sheets and got an awesome deal on them on Groupon. I deals.
1. I made the switch from regular lube to TTC lube. Originally my H was against the idea, and I wanted to bring it up but I made it into a huge deal in my head (because that's what I do) so last night I finally brought it up and he was like "sure". I don't know why I always complicate things in my head! But we used it for the first time last night and afterwards I was so
excited that I couldn’t sleep.
2. It's our anniversary this weekend and we're taking Thursday and Friday off and going to
Carmel (coastal city) where we eat all the food and drink all the drinks.
3. And it will be my FW!
4. @sugargirl1019
– planning workouts around when I have to wash my hair is for real.
5. I made dinner last night, my H loved it, and then my H loved me (if you know what I mean nudge nudge) and it was a win/win.
6. I finished
War of the Worlds last night. The ending was great and I was reading so fast that I was almost skipping words to find out what was going to happen. I forgot how fun reading is.
7. @belocin
– Overdrive is where I get ALL my romance books and read them in secret so H
doesn’t see.
8. We're going to watch Casablanca this weekend. Neither of us has seen it.
9. @marriedhamstermom
– let me know how blue apron is! I use
HelloFresh and love it, but it'd be nice to switch it up. I heard Blue Apron is a little more time consuming/complicated than HelloFresh.
10. Today's FB memories thing showed me a pic of my baby rats from years ago,
and now I want more. Last time I got
rats to fulfill my need for a baby.
Maybe this time I’ll get a baby to fulfill my need for rats

Awww guys!!! You are all so positive and have such happy things to look forward to every day! Work is cray and is interrupting my personal time bumping, so hopefully I can get on here in a bit and do my 10 things and make some mentions. So far only enough time to read everyone's posts. You all rock!
1. We got our pool open this past weekend, so I may just go home and take a dip tonight. Or get the rest of the winter leaves out, at least. 2. I'm feeling more myself than I thought I would today. 3. I got to enjoy three days of being KU before I found out about my CP. It was honestly lovely. 4. So far being on CD2 after the CP feels like a regular, if not extra crampy, AF. 5. Hopefully we can get right back on the horse. 6. OH doesn't fully understand that this is a loss, but he's being supportive and optimistic. It feels like he's even more in now. 7. The weather is nice, and we have a breeze. I like not feeling like I'm living on the sun. 8. OH's sister and brother-in-law will be in town this weekend, and we always have a good time. 9. I ran my car through the car wash last night. I love when she sparkles. I need to make time to vacuum her floors, too. 10. Seriously glad I have you ladies.

@TPup and @RatParade I really like Blue Apron. It's kind of pricey at $60 for 3 meals (2 servings ea.) so DH and I probably get 1-2 orders a month and we don't go out to eat those weeks so we end up saving money and eating better. Also sometimes I can make 3 servings out a meal. I'm not sure what HelloFresh is like so I can't really compare the 2. I will say that there are only 6 main steps in the blue apron recipes but each one has a couple steps in there. Nothing is difficult some are just time consuming, the longest part is t he prep step which I think they underestimate the time to chop all the ingredients. However all the recipes I've had so far can be done in 30-50 minutes. The ingredients are so fresh and good though! You can also get their recipes for free online so sometimes when I don't like 2/3 of the meals I'll just download the recipe I do want to try and make it on my own. I do like getting the exact amount of ingredients delivered right to my door though.

@Aurora1973 I'm so sorry about your cp. After 3 days this week of light bfps, the past 2 days have been stark white. TTC is emotionally and physically hard. It's comforting to know there an online community of people who can offer support and know what you're going through xx. @PepperAT I love going to the farmer's market! Enjoy the pie! @marriedhamstermom Congrats on the weight loss!!! That's awesome!!!
1) Been spending today editing my novella. It's supposed to be done by August 31 to be sent for publishing. I have a lot to do to get it done by then!! 2) I ate my body weight in fish burritos for lunch 3) The weather is absolutely gorgeous today 4) OITNB comes out on Friday!! 5) DH is off work today 6) I went on a mini Ebay shopping spree and hoping one of the things comes in today's mail 7) I cleaned the entire apartment this morning 8) Took my fur baby to the doggie park this afternoon 9) In the mood to bake something and trying to decide to to make 10) I'm trying new stress/anxiety relief techniques. I printed out a ton of mandalas and spent some time coloring them today It was super relaxing.

That was EXACTLY my experience, @krisnicole23. I'm so sorry if the outcome of yours is the same as mine. I had BFPs Thurs - Sat, then BFNs Sunday and Monday, plus a negative blood test Monday, and Monday afternoon AF came. Big hugs to you. I definitely know how hard it is.
Tons of creepy internet hugs to everyone who is struggling.

I'm attempting to mobile Bump 10 things- this could get ugly! But first, @Aurora1973 and @krisnicole23 I'm so sorry for the both of you. Huge, huge hugs!
1. Today is gorgeous and I left work early to sit on my deck and drink wine. 2. An ambulance just went by and my dog howling along with it is one of the cutest things ever. (Although I do feel bad if it hurts his ears or something. It's still ADORABLE.) 3. I get to go to a cookout on Friday with some rich/famous people my DH works with, and it's terribly fun to pretend I'm one of them for the afternoon! 4. I decided last CD1 that I was really going to put more effort into working out and I've run 3 out of the last 4 mornings! (Legs SO sore!) 5. DH is awesome and manages to make me laugh when no one else can. 6. Speaking of DH- he won't be home for dinner tonight so I can eat cheese and olives and no one will judge me. 7. I may not have a baby (yet) but I have an amazing husband, beautiful home, a job, and family and friends I can count on. 8. I got rear ended this morning (see TW Tuesday for a pic) but no one got hurt and it's just a car. 9. I'm really glad I joined this community. I've learned a TON, laughed a lot, and am just so thankful that I didn't just decide to keep lurking. Lurking isn't nearly as much fun as participating! 10. There is a lot of sh*t going on in the world recently and I'm taking this moment to be thankful that pretty much all of my problems have solutions- or are at least manageable. Things could be so much worse.

I'm so glad @BusinessWife started this thread today. I thought we could all use it! @Sugargirl1019 An exceptional hair day is a perfectly acceptable reason not to work out. @Dilynne That sounds like an excellent breakfast! @BusinessWife Congratulations on a great solo! @belocin I'm glad that you're here. Hope you have a great vacation and read so many books!
Double edit BC TB is HANGRY today. TB ate the rest of my post and I don't have time to fix it so, to all of the rest of you I had nice things to say, dang it! Loved reading all of your responses.
@BusinessWife I'm hoping last night wasn't a fluke! She pretty much avoided it all day but I've already spotted her in it 2x this evening so things are looking good!
@krys We are headed to Pigeon Forge, TN! Congrats to you on LuLaRoe! Deciding to get into direct sales is a big step but worth it! I've been an Independent Consultant for a company for a year now and it's one of the best things I've done! It's forced me out of my comfort zone and given me the opportunity to connect and reconnect with people. Good luck!
@TPup Yea! Have you tried that scent before? I went and got mine today and now I'm all
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
2. I'm laying in bed, wishing I could sleep but the landscapers are here mowing and my dog is barking like a lunatic for the past hour and a half.
3. Poor DH, I slept on his pillow all night with him. He had zero space meanwhile my dog had my pillow and my side of the bed.
4. AF is much lighter today! Always exciting when you are not going to bleed for 7 days straight .. *knock on wood*
5. I don't have any musts today, which is nice!!
6. I do have to do laundry though.
7. I have small groups tonight!! Love those people.
8. Laundry reminded me of the socks I just bought - they are super tight and compression-like.. and after running around for 13 hours straight, my ankles are really puffy. No me gusta. Idk why these socks are so unusual. Under Armor brand.
9. I should go work out today, but my hair is cute and I don't want to have to wash it again yet.
10. DH wants to trade in his brand new pick up truck for a 6 year old SUV.. I shake my head and roll my eyes. Idk if I will ever see the logic to this.

2. We were at the cabin all weekend and I got a bit of a tan.
3. There was also a wicked storm, which are my favourite.
4. Also there is a stray cat at the cabin. He became my friend and I named him Mysterious because he only comes around when the resident cat, Ollie, is running around.
5. Like I said in WTO yesterday, starting cycle 3 after a 31 day cycle is WAY better than the 60+ cycle of last time.
6. My volunteer wind up is tonight!
7. Bossman gave us Friday off with pay because he's got a golf tournament.
8. I got to hang out with my cousin and her kids last night. They're so darn cute.
9. I changed the radio to 80's and I'm super jazzed about it.

2. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day! I've got the back door wide open (even though we don't have a screen, whoopsie! whatever lol)
3. I had my first Creighton intro session yesterday and it went fine. I have a lot of emotions coming up over that, but really, it was fine and the instructor is very nice and gave me a big ole hug!
4. The puppy is getting so big! He brought a stick in the house and I don't even care because they are playing so nicely over it. The vaccuuming can wait!
5. We have so much beautiful fresh fruit and greens in the house right now! Peaches, plums, watermelon, apples, bananas, escarole, collards, spinach and kale - not to mention gorgeous tomatoes and fresh lemons! I have not excuse not to have lots of nice healthy snacks today!
6. ...that plus DH and I destroyed all the cookies in the house last night over tea. Whoops! #sorrynotsorry
7. I made an awesome Sunday dinner Monday night, of braised chicken thighs with all the veggies, rice and greens and DH was all this is why I married you. Basically.
8. My cousin who just graduated college took a celebratory trip to Asia with her gf and made it home safe and sound!
9. DH is working on a fun project converting an old beater trailer into an awesome weekender hauler for our canoe and bicycles! He is amazing and I can hardly wait to see once it's all finished!
10. DH is out onsite today so now I get the house/office to myself! Here's hoping I can make it a productive day, including both office and housework...
Hope you make it an awesome day and week as well! <3 you guys!!
1. Closed up my classroom yesterday and it is officially summa-summa-summertime(summertime)!
2. DH and I took my car to get some routine maintenance done and on the way, his started making a grinding noise. Thankfully the dealership was able to get his in too and it didn't happen in the middle of his 30 mile commute later today!
3. The waiting area at the dealership has complimentary pastries and they are gooood.
4. Bath & Body Works brought back Peony and I fully intend to purchase an unreasonable amount.
5. We have never crated our dog but wanted to try it for a trip she will be joining us for next month. We set up the crate last night and she took to it immediately!
6. We leave for vacation in just over 36 hours!
7. DH & I have already knocked out two of the projects on our summer to-do list.
8. It's my birthday month!
9. I've learned how to use the Overdrive app from our local library and I've just started my second ebook in a week! The school year doesn't leave much time for reading for pleasure so I'm leaving no time to waste.
10. The Bump has gone though a lot of changes since I first joined in 2014 and I was hesitant to sign back on when TFAS. I am so glad I did because if you ladies aren't the kindest, most supportive bunch on the interwebs.
Baby #2 due April 2017
Playing 10 things today!
1. It's going to be a beautiful day today! I'm planning to get outside at lunch and go for a walk.
2. I ran a mile this morning. I've really been slacking on my exercise and I am ready to get back into it! I feel great about it. Looking for a 5k to do one of these weekends.
3. I treated myself to a delicious breakfast egg white sandwich this morning.
4. I have a cute maxi skirt on today
5. We have summer Fridays at work and close early, but I wasn't able to leave early the past few weeks. But I am planning to leave early this Friday!
6. I'm not traveling for work this week.
7. H made delicious chicken sausage on the grill with veggies last night for dinner, and I got to take the leftovers for lunch. YUM.
8. I am focusing on the positives today, and this thread helps me do that.
9. I ate some leftover cake with H last night and had a limoncello drink with it - delicious.
10. H has some time of coming up in a week - I'm looking forward to taking a few days off as well to snuggle/spend with him.
2. I can finally see the bottom of our pool! It hasn't been opened in at least three years (we bought the house in September) and it's been crazy cloudy since opening it last weekend.
3. I have nothing planned for this weekend, which is a big giant relief. I love my friends but I need some time off from socializing.
4. The weather is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to grilling some turkey burgers tonight
5. H and I have our four year anniversary next Friday and we've planned to keep it chill, take the days off, and go to Cabela's and the old Yuengling plant. Low expectations and low stress!
6. I also finally bought H's anniversary present last week, so that's out of the way.
7. My bosses are in Europe for the summer (we have several seasonal properties there) so hopefully I'll have more time to bump!
8. We have a bed and blinds up in our dining room-turned-guest bedroom! Once we get some doors in we've effectively increased the house's value by 20k.
9. My peony plants are popping up! I'm not expecting any flowers this season, but it's nice to see them growing.
10. I'm still awaiting the Homegoods shopping spree I was promised for my birthday- the list of wants is growing!
2. There were no more seats for the symphony I wanted to go to next Tuesday so that was a bummer but it means I still get to go to book club next week since it was at the same time.
3. I've lost 10 lbs so far. 20 more to go!
4. Weather looks like it's going to be nice for the rest of the week so we're grilling for dinner hopefully at least 3 nights this week!
5. We're getting a blue apron delivery Friday!
6. I was all excited to watch CSI again from the beginning but somehow I lost Season 1 disk 1. Luckily I found it on Amazon for only $4. It is used but says Like New condition and I really only need disk 1 to work.
7. I get to see my nephew Saturday!
8. I got both hamsters to come out this morning, yesterday 1 refused to come out of his sleeping sock.
9. Nice weather means we can take the motorcycle to work, (though we didn't today b/c I need to stop at Target)!
10. My watering can had tipped over outside and I picked it up on Sunday to fill it inside and then water the plants. I set it on my counter and was putting away groceries and DH heard some weird scratching noise coming from it. It turned out to be a vole who had made a nest in there. I'm thankful DH heard him and I didn't fill it with water. He is safely released into the woods behind our place. Here's a pic I snapped, he's a cutie!

Trying for #2!!
@Dilynne - I literally LOL'd at the cheese and Sunny D. That's epic!
@BusinessWife - isn't fresh product the absolute BEST?! I'm so jealous. I want to go shopping, but I'm about to leave and I don't want to waste a bunch of stuff.
@belocin - yay for vacation - where are you going???
@SandwichLover - Cute clothes days always make me feel good. I need to find some cute maxis - my struggle is so real because I'm about to start selling LuLaRoe (the onboarding wait time is like 12 weeks right now, so I have a ways to go) and I want all the things now, but I don't want to pay retail when I have to drop over $6k to get started. FAIL!
@housewifehobbyist - Isn't grilling season the best? I grilled Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND yesterday. Probably again tonight. And Homegoods is a gift from the gods.
@marriedhamstermom CONGRATS on 10 lbs! That's awesome!
@thj101 - Farmhouse popup sounds right up my alley. I hope you score something awesome!
1. I have a somewhat short work week this week. We have our Summer Party on Thursday, but I have to be at home for some contractors. Good and bad.
2. 2 paydays this week! Tomorrow for my husband's and Friday for mine. That's always fun
3. I ordered some new leggings and a new top because why not
4. I decided to take the plunge and be a LuLaRoe consultant. I'm pumped to get my initial inventory in (but it's going to be like 12 weeks). I think I can be pretty successful with my circle and my neighborhood.
5. I was able to book window seats on this last minute trip to Asia that I have to take on Tuesday. Last trip I was stuck in MIDDLE seats for both of the 16 hour flights which was the absolute worst ever in the history of all the things.
6. My temps haven't plummeted, and I've made it more days in this cycle than the last.
7. I did good last week and was active every day. Going to keep the streak going this week!
8. My washer wasn't broken, it was just our water heater that randomly turned off and killed all the hot water and hot water pressure.
9. They will start work on my kitchen cabinets AND roof AND drywall repair on Thursday, and I'm so ready to have that crap done.
10. Since my work trip got moved up, I'll be home for 4th of July weekend and our party is back ON!

1. It's our 19th anniversary today! Holla!
2. We are going to our favorite restaurant tonight for schwancy dinner noms and wine, wine, wine.
3. H just surprised me by getting Jason Isbell tickets which went on presale today and were apparently a large ass pain to get. Only four months until the show!
4. I worked until 8:30 p.m. yesterday so I slept until 7:00 a.m. today.
5. My director brought home grown tomatoes for us to take home. **see above gif**
6. I've never read/seen anything Harry Potter (I think I used that as an UO not too long ago) so a coworker brought me the first book. Kind of excited!
7. It's pretty outside but dang, it's hot!
8. I leave for vacation on Saturday! Going to Savannah with H until Wednesday and have the rest of the week off! (This should have been #3).

1. I get to take my dog to work with my everyday so that's amazing and I shouldn't take that for granted. H is here everyday too but that's more... whatevs
2. I started drinking coffee again in the mornings on the drive to work. It's so warm and calming!
3. Birds are really responding to the wild bird feeder and mix my MIL gave me. Really enjoy birding from inside the house.
4. The whole lemon chicken from Trader Joes is OMG YAS! Its cheap, $12 and easy! Throw it in the oven for a hour and go about your life. (I used to be a Sous Chef/Trainer for Del Friscos so usually I complicate all our meals. Easy, good for you meals are finds for me!)
5. H and my aunt are doing another marathon. My dad signed up to walk the half. Super proud of them! Really thinking about walking the half with my dad. I think it would be a fun experience and memory to have.
6. We paid all our bills for this week.
7. Talked about going to a Sushi restaurant with H. Maybe tomorrow. Its one of those revolving sushi places and everything comes out on a conveyor belt. Good sushi and just good fun!
8. Its lunch time!
9. Logos/ the new website is coming along and looking good.
10. My vegetable garden is coming along nicely as well!
2. I beat the neighbor out of the neighborhood this morning. They drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit and there's no chance to pass them for milessssss.
3. Our little dog is just so sweet and cute and I love him so much. I love cuddling with him in the mornings.
4. I was talking to H about how tired I am of dealing with peeing on things (fun story - peed right into my palm in a gas station bathroom on Saturday - period was 2 days early but also super short and I was planning on drinking and so I wanted to be certain.) and he thanked me for doing all of the temping and testing and stuff.
5. Raspberries are coming into season!
6. I cleaned the drain in the shower out last night. Gaggggg gaggity gag. I almost barfed. But now it drains really well! And I'm considering shaving my head.
7. There's a food truck party in my town this Saturday.
8. I've been getting more gym time recently. Vacation always throws me off and I haven't been properly insistent on making time in the evenings for me to do that.
9. I'm no expert on Lin-Manuel Miranda but I'm pretty certain that he is a gift to this world.
10. Picked up the dad mug I made for H. It may not be for the cycle I planned it for or for any time in the near future but it did turn our really cute. So there's that!

9. We went to the farmers market on the weekend and got 2 fresh pies. One of them is totally getting devoured tonight!

2. Bought a new outfit for the interview and cannot wait to wear it.
3. My parents sold their house and moved into the city so I got to have lunch with my mom today. She was in an excellent mood because the last of the furniture was delivered.
4. She is also making DH and I dinner tonight!! Yayyy for not cooking.
5. We noticed little tiny tomatoes on our vine this morning. So excited for them to grow so I can eat them.
6. The herbs are also doing really well and I have chicken marinating to grill for lunches the rest of the week. (Guys can you tell I like food?!)
7. Will probably enjoy a glass of wine tonight in this beautiful weather. (And wine, all the wines)
8. Signed up for yoga tomorrow morning and hoping it will help this back pain I've been having!
9. Also scheduled a massage tomorrow with a gift certificate I have laying around. I should be totally zen by 7 pm tomorrow night.
10. Purchased our 2nd year anniversary gift - cotton? I went with new Egyptian Cotton Sheets and got an awesome deal on them on Groupon. I deals.
1. I made the switch from regular lube to TTC lube. Originally my H was against the idea, and I wanted to bring it up but I made it into a huge deal in my head (because that's what I do) so last night I finally brought it up and he was like "sure". I don't know why I always complicate things in my head! But we used it for the first time last night and afterwards I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.
2. It's our anniversary this weekend and we're taking Thursday and Friday off and going to Carmel (coastal city) where we eat all the food and drink all the drinks.
3. And it will be my FW!
4. @sugargirl1019 – planning workouts around when I have to wash my hair is for real.
5. I made dinner last night, my H loved it, and then my H loved me (if you know what I mean nudge nudge) and it was a win/win.
6. I finished War of the Worlds last night. The ending was great and I was reading so fast that I was almost skipping words to find out what was going to happen. I forgot how fun reading is.
7. @belocin – Overdrive is where I get ALL my romance books and read them in secret so H doesn’t see.
8. We're going to watch Casablanca this weekend. Neither of us has seen it.
9. @marriedhamstermom – let me know how blue apron is! I use HelloFresh and love it, but it'd be nice to switch it up. I heard Blue Apron is a little more time consuming/complicated than HelloFresh.
10. Today's FB memories thing showed me a pic of my baby rats from years ago, and now I want more. Last time I got rats to fulfill my need for a baby. Maybe this time I’ll get a baby to fulfill my need for rats

to all of this and everyone!
1. We got our pool open this past weekend, so I may just go home and take a dip tonight. Or get the rest of the winter leaves out, at least.
2. I'm feeling more myself than I thought I would today.
3. I got to enjoy three days of being KU before I found out about my CP. It was honestly lovely.
4. So far being on CD2 after the CP feels like a regular, if not extra crampy, AF.
5. Hopefully we can get right back on the horse.
6. OH doesn't fully understand that this is a loss, but he's being supportive and optimistic. It feels like he's even more in now.
7. The weather is nice, and we have a breeze. I like not feeling like I'm living on the sun.
8. OH's sister and brother-in-law will be in town this weekend, and we always have a good time.
9. I ran my car through the car wash last night. I love when she sparkles. I need to make time to vacuum her floors, too.
10. Seriously glad I have you ladies.

But first, @Aurora1973 and @krisnicole23 I'm so sorry for the both of you. Huge, huge hugs!
1. Today is gorgeous and I left work early to sit on my deck and drink wine.
2. An ambulance just went by and my dog howling along with it is one of the cutest things ever. (Although I do feel bad if it hurts his ears or something. It's still ADORABLE.)
3. I get to go to a cookout on Friday with some rich/famous people my DH works with, and it's terribly fun to pretend I'm one of them for the afternoon!
4. I decided last CD1 that I was really going to put more effort into working out and I've run 3 out of the last 4 mornings! (Legs SO sore!)
5. DH is awesome and manages to make me laugh when no one else can.
6. Speaking of DH- he won't be home for dinner tonight so I can eat cheese and olives and no one will judge me.
7. I may not have a baby (yet) but I have an amazing husband, beautiful home, a job, and family and friends I can count on.
8. I got rear ended this morning (see TW Tuesday for a pic) but no one got hurt and it's just a car.
9. I'm really glad I joined this community. I've learned a TON, laughed a lot, and am just so thankful that I didn't just decide to keep lurking. Lurking isn't nearly as much fun as participating!
10. There is a lot of sh*t going on in the world recently and I'm taking this moment to be thankful that pretty much all of my problems have solutions- or are at least manageable. Things could be so much worse.

@Sugargirl1019 An exceptional hair day is a perfectly acceptable reason not to work out.
@Dilynne That sounds like an excellent breakfast!
@BusinessWife Congratulations on a great solo!
@belocin I'm glad that you're here. Hope you have a great vacation and read so many books!
Double edit BC TB is HANGRY today.
TB ate the rest of my post and I don't have time to fix it so, to all of the rest of you I had nice things to say, dang it! Loved reading all of your responses.
To @aurora1973 and @krisnicole23 So sorry.

@BusinessWife I'm hoping last night wasn't a fluke! She pretty much avoided it all day but I've already spotted her in it 2x this evening so things are looking good!
@krys We are headed to Pigeon Forge, TN! Congrats to you on LuLaRoe! Deciding to get into direct sales is a big step but worth it! I've been an Independent Consultant for a company for a year now and it's one of the best things I've done! It's forced me out of my comfort zone and given me the opportunity to connect and reconnect with people. Good luck!
@TPup Yea! Have you tried that scent before? I went and got mine today and now I'm all
@EALasagna45 Pigeon Forge, TN!
@RatParade It's so great!
Baby #2 due April 2017
