1. I'm excited for the long weekend coming up 2. My friend is bringing her family, including a brand new foster daughter, Sunday for a swim and the weather is supposed to be lovely 3. Our garden is coming in nicely, I think we'll have tomatoes this weekend 4. I feel like crap today but I still got a (weak, 30 minute) workout done at the gym 5. H agreed that we can go to my brother's wedding in CA in the fall, even though it's a long expensive trip 6. My SIL-to be asked if I would carry my nephew down the aisle 7. My friend works in fashion and gave me a handful of gorgeous Chanel nail polishes yesterday 8. I'm finishing the first Outlander book tonight and I managed to snag the next in the series at the library today, last copy 9. My boss is out for the rest of the day so I can slack (and bump) a little at work. I'm not feeling 100% so it's a relief. 10. H has been beyond awesomely supportive with the bad hand we've been dealt, I'm so grateful to have him as a partner.
1) I am so hydrated... my pee has been clear for over 5 hours. 2) I have stayed with the healthy eating all week so far. (1.5 days- yahoooooooo) 3) Despite dragging a bit today, I feel pretty dang peppy and in a good mood. 4) Boss is leaving me alone pretty much all day. He is only talking to me to crack jokes and to have a good laugh. I'll take it. 5) DH finally **FINALLY* cleared a spot for me in the garage so I can start working out again. 6) I made a payment towards our cruise, paid all my bills and still have money left over. 7) I've officially let it go pertaining to my chart for the rest of this cycle and it no longer bothers me. I could squeel.
8) I just realized that this number looks like a googly eyed cartoon when I tilt my head to the left. I am now highly amused. 9) The upside to no O yet is that I am not bloated enough to float away into space. 10) I love you guys. You all are the best.
1. I think I've O'd, yay! DH will be happy to not have to keep doing it. 2. My sister is here visiting from San Antonio! 3. I've introduced her to Outlander, and we are binge watching all the episodes of season 1 right now. 4. I forgot how brutal and gruesome season 1 is. So much torture. 5. I have a Staff Meeting tonight at 5:30... so it is going to take me freaking an hour and a half to drive for a 30 minute meeting in rush hour traffic. 6. I have small group after that at 7! I'm excited. 7. I have the post O acne, goodness gracious. 8. I was wondering about changing my makeup - It doesn't cover the acne anymore and just looks dry on my face. I was using Bare Minerals original powder (but no concealer...). 9. My sister suggested Mac liquid foundation that turns into a powder when it dries? Or something? 10. I'd like a nap.

@housewifehobbyist Thanks for starting this today!
@GrabberBlue2010 Yasss!!! To all the gifs! :D.
1. My two beautiful doggies totally warm my heart 2. DH called me before lunch cos he was wishing he could just lie down for a few minutes and said, really he just wanted to stay on the phone with me so he could relax a few minutes longer... 3. I am dragging too, today, so nice to feel like DH and I are really in it together, even in the little things 4. Today's lunch salad is UH-mazing! 5. @khbear67 ;) 6. All the bfps last week and this week make me so happy! 7. The big puppy has his face smushed in the corner his crate sleeping so cutely, while his cheeks puff in and out as he dreams! I can't handle it 8. Another piece of sloomb wool I bought on ebay came in today, makes me so happy! 9. DH passed his first exam on Saturday!!! 10. He actually picked out new towels for me on sale when we were at Penny's, [4 bath/2 hand],(even though he was in a terrible mood), and when we got home and realized why I wanted him to get 4 hand towels, too, (we have a hotel-style towel rack that holds 4 bath towels, 4 hand towels and 4 washcloths)... he felt it was very important that I go online and complete the set! Lol. Gotta love that man!
@Sugargirl1019 I use the Chanel concealer in a tube with a soft applicator (let dry briefly before bkending w/fingertips) and set with Chanel dual perfect pressed powder. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/on/hdh1n976w7ht.jpg" alt=""> I have actually used both of these, and they are both great, but I feel like the clicky brush may not last quite as long - although I do lurve the way the applicator goes on. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/jk/q6ybdc5osoyg.jpg" alt=""> Days when I don't want to bother with concealer, the powder alone gives great coverage! I'll use drugstore bronzer/shadow/blush/mascara, but gotta give me my Chanel base! One compact lasts forever - I really never have to get more than one a year - maybe two to have my backup on hand, (so I don't have to spend when it runs out.) So that's usually one of DH's Xmas gifts to me, or if someone gives me a Macy's gift card lol
I really need this today. Trying to stay in a positive mindset.
1. My puppy! I especially love how she greets me when I get home and than proceeds to follow me around all evening. 2. This beautiful weather we have been getting. I love leaving work at the end of the day when the sun is still bright and shining. 3. My dad is amazing and so supportive. I feel so lucky. 4. 3 more days of work until the long weekend!!!! 5. My sister and I are taking a road trip this weekend and I can't wait to spend some time with her. 6. I started doing yoga again and it feels amazing. 7. My strawberry plants are blooming like crazy and I keep just eating them right from the plant. Don't tell my H! Haha 8. My job is crazy right now and there are a whole lot of changes going on, but I like the people I'm working with and that really makes a difference. 9. I bought 2 packs of ice cream bars yesterday and ate 3 of them on the way home. Not even sorry. 10. DH and I are trying to plan out ideas to be more active. We started with a bike ride last night and it was very refreshing.
1. Ten Things has always been one of my favorite features of this community! 2. Tomorrow I go back to the RE for one last follicle scan before my IUI. Looking forward to seeing the growth! 3. I brought watermelon that DH cut up this weekend with my lunch today. It was amazing. 4. We're in for some (apparently) crazy storms later, and being in the mountains makes the thunder much louder. I love it! 5. I started the 4th HP book last night, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. It is one of my favorite's in the series! 6. DH and I finally agreed on the second to last week of August to take our vacation. 7. Not sure if we'll go anywhere but even a staycation still means a week off. 8. Christmas stuff is starting to trickle in at my work (garden center/gift shop). I love the holidays so it's fun to see what items we'll be selling this year! 9. My tankini top I ordered online last week shipped out yesterday! Hope it fits when I finally get it! 10. My 4 day work week's restart next week! No more Monday's!!
@GrabberBlue2010 @PepperAT omg they are SO cute! And then he switches to the feet twitching-snarfling thing while he runs chasing after something in his dreams! I die! <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/ff/c0d8kp8tmpdr.jpg" alt="">
Ten Things Tuesday! 1.) Next week I don't have to work at all 2.) Proud of myself for getting up two days in a row to workout! 3.) New Pretty Little liars tonight!! 4.) Being really positive this cycle! 5.) My whole family is chipping in to give my Uncle a year long pool pass so he can go swimming..He goes every day with a retired Vet. My uncle doesnt have a lot of money and sometimes he doesnt have the 3 dollars to go to the pool to swim. He has really bad knees. which makes me really sad (he is 54) But I am happy we are getting him the pass, he lives in Mississippi rest of the fam lives in Iowa. So we dont get to see him too often. He doesnt have any kids and hasnt been married 6.) I love La Croix waters 7.) eating Okios Triple zero Greek yogurt makes me feel like im in the NFL ...cause you know Okios triple zero is in official yogurt of the NFL.....HAHAHA 8.)

**formerly jnalexander2** Me: 29 DH: 26 Married: March 2016 Jordyn: 7/7/10 Jiselle: 2/22/12 Camille: 6/2/17 Trying for #4
Going on a SECRET TRIP this weekend for our anniversary with a bunch of our friends!
I'm pretty sure it's camping in a cabin (we usually do backwoods/survival camping), partner is real bad at keeping surprises.
I got to buy an inflatable alligator raft for it, much to partner's chagrin.
Just got out of a company rebranding meeting. It actually was pretty swell. They're focusing on actually rebranding how we interact with the market and ourselves, not just changing color and logo.
That being said, OUR NEW COLORS ARE HYPE. Purple, mint, and salmon. We'll be the only company in our market with that scheme (almost all of them are navy/royal blue with green).
Catered lunch was a solid 10. Italian sub with giardiniera
I've basically perfected making chai lattes with the espresso/milk frother at work.
Guys my bronchitis is almost gone
I've found out it's actually not that bad to cross-stitch on the train to/from work.
1. Anniversary 2 fancy dinner tonight. 2. Planning on drinking a nice bottle of wine from our trip to France. 3. I have a new maxi dress and espadrille sandals to wear. 4. Another new work dress came in the mail today. 5. I found a perfect card that says "wanna hump?" with a camel on it. I think DH will find it funny considering all the HIO lately. 6. I bought back up chocolates in case the two year old cake is no good. 7. We have a gift card to use at dinner so we can splurge a little extra. 8. I am almost done the Bone Tree and have a stack of books to crack open this weekend. 9. We have a long weekend ahead! 10. It has been really hard to be positive this week waiting to O and I forced myself to do this but I am not going to lie... I feel better already!
1. I truly love reading through everyone's Ten Things. Peace in my 2. Our division just reached a HUGE (multi million dollar) fundraising goal!!! 3. My boss, whom I love to pieces, is out sick so 4. I have borrowed the 2nd Harry Potter book and am about to crack it WIDE open! 5. H is a fabulous gardener and has gorgeous flowers all over our yard and in pots. 6. It finally rained a little to give them some of God's nourishment. 7. Tomorrow is pot luck day which is like Stanley's Pretzel Day.
8. A coworker brought in coffee creamer that tastes like Thin Mints and it is everything. 9. We do half day Fridays in July which starts this Friday! 10. Which means I have a three and a HALF day weekend!

@ahrains I know it's not the case, but I'm totally picturing you waiting with bated breath to find out the results of my alligator raft purchase.
LOOK AT THIS THING, HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT TO BUY IT:
ETA: @EBrigner84 I'm laughing a bit because your post started with the "I'M NEW HERE" pic, then didn't have all ten things for Ten Things Tuesday. I know it was unintentional because the bump just gets hungry sometimes, but it was still a funny juxtaposition.

It's funny because I WAS! I had one when I was growing up so I knew exactly what you were talking about! Yippee!!!

@housewifehobbyist - I miss gardening. I think I might try to do some raised beds next year in our backyard, which is small. Hope you feel better! @GrabberBlue2010 - I might have missed this in another post, but where is your cruise? @Sugargirl1019 - YAY for the O! @BusinessWife - dog/puppy cuteness is the absolute best ever. I miss mine, and I won't get them back until after my next trip (aka July 17). My heart hurtsssssssssssssss @PepperAT - isnt having an awesome sister AWESOME? I love spending time with mine - I'm flying home to see her on July 8 (her bday). I wish we lived closer. @mrsdaddario - FX for awesome things from your appointment tomorrow! @canokr01 - I your family. That's so awesome! @thj101 YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS to Southern Charm! What a shitshow! LOL! @MandyBeeSLP - which not roomba did you get? I've been waffling on that purchase for MONTHS. @jnalexander2 - that is an awesome score! @TheJerilu - I want to teach myself to cross stitch really bad. The ones on Etsy that are inappropriate sayings or rap lyrics absolutely slay me @Saralee797 Getting new clothes is so much fun. I am resolved to wear more dresses and skirts. We'll see! @ahrains OMG I've wanted to try that creamer. Mostly in an alcoholic beverage like a white russian, but with that. ZOMG yes. @EBrigner84 Methinks the Bump ate your post. LOL #welcomegift But seriously, I'm glad you stuck around. You get the giant gold star of the year. @BertieMeetsGertie - it'll be a fun trip even in the heat! Love it there!
ZOMG the comment struggle is real, y'all. I keep feeling like there's an easier way than scrolling up and down and up and down and up and down, but I haven't figured it out yet.
1. Had another good day at the office. Attitude change has made a world of difference. 2. I've got a fun weekend lined up, despite the fave I'm going to be tired as hell from the return trip. 3. Monday is a work holiday. HOLLA! 4. With ANY luck, my inventory will get in before I do, and I'll have almost 500 pieces of clothes to play with and get excited over! 5. I have a payday Thursday AND Friday! WINNING! 6. My boss is off tomorrow and won't be able to drive me crazy. 7. My boss is coming out here for the next 2 weeks, which means peace and quiet in the office the rest of next week. After that I'm off, so IDGAF. HA 8. One of the hotel staff offered to make me a margarita at breakfast yesterday because he knew breakfast time for them was dinner time for me. And he wasn't even my waiter. They get me here, y'all! 9. I might go out to the pool after I have breakfast/dinner before I go to bed. The sun is actually out! 10. I go home in 3 m@BertieMeetsGertie
@Krys I open a notepad document and write out my @ whoever and the response there then copy paste the whole thing into the comment box. It's easier to me than scrolling up and down. This is especially true when the thread you're replying to has made it to multiple pages.
ETA: I have no idea what mobile bumpers do. There is no way I could do all that on mobile.
Me: 28 Husband: 31 TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016 Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
1. I'm trying to come up with a list of things to do to help the next two weeks fly by 2. I'm going to the zoo this weekend with the kids, hopefully they love it 3. I managed to make a meal plan and shopping list today but now I'm too tired to get to the store so that will have to wait til tomorrow morning 4. DH and I had such a good days off and I'm gonna miss him more than usual the next two weeks 5. I need to get to this stack of books from the library I have waiting to read 6. I really need to go get a pedicure but I may just have to give myself one and that just isn't the same 7. I'm trying to get my water numbers up, I used to be so good at staying hydrated but I've slacked off the last two months because life was so insane 8. I have zero plans for the 4th of July and I kinda don't wanna make any 9. I'm so sad GoT is over, it was the one show my husband and I would watch together 10. I seriously hate that my Step daughter has a cell phone, every time she gets in trouble she texts her mom
@NamelessAria I think I saw you mention this way of commenting previously and I've started using it! It is sooooo much easier. I post in the morning on my way to work. I have the template in my "Notes" App and then just add my info, and copy and paste that in. And then wait until I get to work and use the notepad on one screen and have the bump on the other.
1. H and I are renting a little airplane tonight and just going on a quick ride. It's pretty out and it should make for an exceptional date night! 2. Ding dong dog was sick this morning and I was super worried but the vet wasn't too concerned and he seems to be perking up. We opted for the blood work in case whatever it is that he ate is extra bad but I do think they'll call and say everything was fine. Really the only thing that they could see in the exam was that he is a little slower than usual and he was a little dehydrated. 3. We have pet insurance. So when we go in for stuff like that, we can just say yes to whatever the vet proposes. A couple years ago, it saved us close to $6,000 and while the ultimate outcome was devastating (to put it lightly) at least we never had to make any choices based on finances and we know that we gave that glorious dog every single chance we could. I figure they'll eventually make their money back from us over the next 15 years but, whatever. (For anyone interested, we have Petplan and we got that one because it's one of the few that covers hip dysplasia. I would gladly send the referral link that would get us a referral bonus but I'm not including it here to make it clear that I would recommend them when there's nothing at all in it for me.) 4. We are mere days away from quarterly profit share disbursement! YAY! As long as it's fully funded, it makes up about 25% of my annual compensation outside of bonuses. So it's a chunk of money. That will go directly towards loans. But it will still be fun the 15 minutes it lasts! 5. We were some of the people who got stuck because we (uh, he) bought a house when he was a single guy and wasn't planning on needing much space for himself...in 2007. So we worked it out to where we're renting that house (at a monthly loss...) and were able to get into a longer-term family home. We did a drive-by of the rental today and the yard and everything looks super nice. I really like our tenant. First one was a douche.5. 6. I think that yesterday may have been O. I've been frustrated this cycle because today is day 10 of 'high' on the CBDA OPKs. Wondfos lines are getting lighter but temp was up this morning. Yay for temping! And for the fact that I have blood work tomorrow to confirm ovulation. 7. Yay for O so I can finally back off on the green tea. I like it alright but not three cups a day. 8. Stopped at the fancy grocery store after the vet to pick up lunch. It was pretty tasty. 9. Yesterday was my mom's birthday and I ordered flowers to be delivered. I used to be way too cheap for that since there are perfectly nice bouquets at Sam's Club for $15 but I'm hundreds of miles away and it will make her happy and she's freaking awesome. 10. ***TW - someone else's pregnancy*** My friends had their 12-week ultrasound today and everything was good. I read too much and I worry too much and I was really happy to hear that it went well.

@krys@NamelessAria I also do not know how people do comments on mobile, either. I just open separate tabs and toggle back and forth, if I'm smart, copying what I've written on occasion so if TB eats it, I at least can paste most of it back in. If I'm at work, I'll just put one on the second screen.

@Krys, yes the struggle is real with all the scrolling! Today I opened two screens and used one to type up my response and the other to scroll. Perfect use of my dual monitors at work! @NamelessAria, I like the notepad idea! Might have to try that next time! eta: bump was hungry and ate the latter half of my post.

@Krys totally looking forward to it. We've never been to any of these places so it will be an adventur . Our 1 yr anniversary is our first land day so that should be fun. My brother his wife and 4 of their kids are coming to . It'll be like when we went on our honeymoon all over again so I am glad to fork out that money every pay da . Lol
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
2. My friend is bringing her family, including a brand new foster daughter, Sunday for a swim and the weather is supposed to be lovely
3. Our garden is coming in nicely, I think we'll have tomatoes this weekend
4. I feel like crap today but I still got a (weak, 30 minute) workout done at the gym
5. H agreed that we can go to my brother's wedding in CA in the fall, even though it's a long expensive trip
6. My SIL-to be asked if I would carry my nephew down the aisle
7. My friend works in fashion and gave me a handful of gorgeous Chanel nail polishes yesterday
8. I'm finishing the first Outlander book tonight and I managed to snag the next in the series at the library today, last copy
9. My boss is out for the rest of the day so I can slack (and bump) a little at work. I'm not feeling 100% so it's a relief.
10. H has been beyond awesomely supportive with the bad hand we've been dealt, I'm so grateful to have him as a partner.
Break free from all the negativityyyyyy
1) I am so hydrated... my pee has been clear for over 5 hours.
2) I have stayed with the healthy eating all week so far. (1.5 days- yahoooooooo)
3) Despite dragging a bit today, I feel pretty dang peppy and in a good mood.
4) Boss is leaving me alone pretty much all day. He is only talking to me to crack jokes and to have a good laugh. I'll take it.
5) DH finally **FINALLY* cleared a spot for me in the garage so I can start working out again.
6) I made a payment towards our cruise, paid all my bills and still have money left over.
7) I've officially let it go pertaining to my chart for the rest of this cycle and it no longer bothers me. I could squeel.
8) I just realized that this number looks like a googly eyed cartoon when I tilt my head to the left. I am now highly amused.
9) The upside to no O yet is that I am not bloated enough to float away into space.
10) I love you guys. You all are the best.

2. My sister is here visiting from San Antonio!
3. I've introduced her to Outlander, and we are binge watching all the episodes of season 1 right now.
4. I forgot how brutal and gruesome season 1 is. So much torture.
5. I have a Staff Meeting tonight at 5:30... so it is going to take me freaking an hour and a half to drive for a 30 minute meeting in rush hour traffic.
6. I have small group after that at 7! I'm excited.
7. I have the post O acne, goodness gracious.
8. I was wondering about changing my makeup - It doesn't cover the acne anymore and just looks dry on my face. I was using Bare Minerals original powder (but no concealer...).

@GrabberBlue2010 Yasss!!! To all the gifs! :D.
1. My two beautiful doggies totally warm my heart
2. DH called me before lunch cos he was wishing he could just lie down for a few minutes and said, really he just wanted to stay on the phone with me so he could relax a few minutes longer...
3. I am dragging too, today, so nice to feel like DH and I are really in it together, even in the little things
4. Today's lunch salad is UH-mazing!
5. @khbear67 ;)
6. All the bfps last week and this week make me so happy!
7. The big puppy has his face smushed in the corner his crate sleeping so cutely, while his cheeks puff in and out as he dreams! I can't handle it
8. Another piece of sloomb wool I bought on ebay came in today, makes me so happy!
9. DH passed his first exam on Saturday!!!
10. He actually picked out new towels for me on sale when we were at Penny's, [4 bath/2 hand],(even though he was in a terrible mood), and when we got home and realized why I wanted him to get 4 hand towels, too, (we have a hotel-style towel rack that holds 4 bath towels, 4 hand towels and 4 washcloths)... he felt it was very important that I go online and complete the set! Lol. Gotta love that man!
<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/on/hdh1n976w7ht.jpg" alt="">
I have actually used both of these, and they are both great, but I feel like the clicky brush may not last quite as long - although I do lurve the way the applicator goes on.
<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/jk/q6ybdc5osoyg.jpg" alt="">
Days when I don't want to bother with concealer, the powder alone gives great coverage! I'll use drugstore bronzer/shadow/blush/mascara, but gotta give me my Chanel base! One compact lasts forever - I really never have to get more than one a year - maybe two to have my backup on hand, (so I don't have to spend when it runs out.) So that's usually one of DH's Xmas gifts to me, or if someone gives me a Macy's gift card lol
And the puppy sounds totally adorable!!!

I'm laughing a bit because your post started with the "I'M NEW HERE" pic, then didn't have all ten things for Ten Things Tuesday. I know it was unintentional because the bump just gets hungry sometimes, but it was still a funny juxtaposition.

2. Ding dong dog was sick this morning and I was super worried but the vet wasn't too concerned and he seems to be perking up. We opted for the blood work in case whatever it is that he ate is extra bad but I do think they'll call and say everything was fine. Really the only thing that they could see in the exam was that he is a little slower than usual and he was a little dehydrated.
3. We have pet insurance. So when we go in for stuff like that, we can just say yes to whatever the vet proposes. A couple years ago, it saved us close to $6,000 and while the ultimate outcome was devastating (to put it lightly) at least we never had to make any choices based on finances and we know that we gave that glorious dog every single chance we could. I figure they'll eventually make their money back from us over the next 15 years but, whatever. (For anyone interested, we have Petplan and we got that one because it's one of the few that covers hip dysplasia. I would gladly send the referral link that would get us a referral bonus but I'm not including it here to make it clear that I would recommend them when there's nothing at all in it for me.)
4. We are mere days away from quarterly profit share disbursement! YAY! As long as it's fully funded, it makes up about 25% of my annual compensation outside of bonuses. So it's a chunk of money. That will go directly towards loans. But it will still be fun the 15 minutes it lasts!
5. We were some of the people who got stuck because we (uh, he) bought a house when he was a single guy and wasn't planning on needing much space for himself...in 2007. So we worked it out to where we're renting that house (at a monthly loss...) and were able to get into a longer-term family home. We did a drive-by of the rental today and the yard and everything looks super nice. I really like our tenant. First one was a douche.5.
6. I think that yesterday may have been O. I've been frustrated this cycle because today is day 10 of 'high' on the CBDA OPKs. Wondfos lines are getting lighter but temp was up this morning. Yay for temping! And for the fact that I have blood work tomorrow to confirm ovulation.
7. Yay for O so I can finally back off on the green tea. I like it alright but not three cups a day.
8. Stopped at the fancy grocery store after the vet to pick up lunch. It was pretty tasty.
9. Yesterday was my mom's birthday and I ordered flowers to be delivered. I used to be way too cheap for that since there are perfectly nice bouquets at Sam's Club for $15 but I'm hundreds of miles away and it will make her happy and she's freaking awesome.
10. ***TW - someone else's pregnancy*** My friends had their 12-week ultrasound today and everything was good. I read too much and I worry too much and I was really happy to hear that it went well.
