  We just got invited to meet friends at a local steak house this evening That's pretty much the only option for "fine" dining in rural ND.... for any special occasion or night out you eat steak *eye roll*.  But, this place really does have great steak, and they make decent Moscow Mules. 
  
  Might try for some BD later this evening if we're not uncomfortably full from steak. Otherwise we'll be watching Penny Dreadful and drinking vodka

  I'm eating my feelings today instead of drinking them. I just ate WAY too much macaroni and cheese. It wasn't even that good. And now I'm so overly full. Bleh.

  @kiwi2628 Thank you for starting this!
  
  I posted in another thread that my Friday plans are to crack open my cabernet, put on some Bob's Burgers, and read a library book about how my fertility issues may be caused by hypothyroidism, followed by a nice HIO sesh. My cab is open and so it is a piece of sharp mimolette, yum. Trying to deal with the fact that I am not going to get an MRI of my fucked up ovary until December now apparently.

  I just bought my first bottle of Hendricks since starting TTC back in January. Usually, when I think about buying a bottle of liquor instead of wine I start with the "if I get KU this cycle of won't get to finish my bottle" thinking. Well fuck it. I just bought my favorite gin and I'm going to drink as much as I can tonight and catch up on the latest You're The Worst episodes.

DH is working late. so ooooooo apothic red and five guys and chocolate peanut butter ice cream while watching parenthood.

  @purplg8r margarita sounds fantastic! I vote DO IT!
  
  @ChefRamsay I definitely approve of the fuck it attitude, but drinking "as much as I can" generally has terrible consequenses  
  
  Glad to see I'm not the only one planning to drink (and eat) my feelings tonight.

  DH and I are at home going to have a couple drinks of rum and coke (my drink of choice). Right now, I am preparing some nachos while MH cleans the house. Trust me this doesn't usually happen but I had a mental breakdown when I realized I was the only one who knew how to pick things up so he got busy. Also waiting CHs and get this.... SS. Don't judge - I realize it's impossible. It's my party and I will cry I want to.

  Admittedly I really want to open a bottle of wine. But I am in my TWW so I think I probably shouldn't...but I am going to whine about how I want to. So I'll eat chocolate (anyone here know what a Coffee Crisp is? I have had one sitting in the fridge since my last trip to Canada and it's calling my name tonight) instead and catch up on "This is US"

  @kiwi2628 Thanks, unfortunately availability isn't the issue -- I need to have the MRI done during the follicular phase and even if I got my doctor's office in order on Monday (which, I doubt it) on Tuesday I'd be cd12 which is later than my doctor wants. I'll be waiting until next cycle. 
  
  @jess0211 I promise it is OK to have a glass of wine during TWW Also I'm not sure where you are, but here in NY, you can get Coffee Crisp at Stop & Shop!
  
  I have to say, I feel like I am in great company tonight! Love you ladies!

  I can't decide what to do for dinner. I have left over baked potato/cauliflower soup, or I can make some pork steamed dumplings with a soy sauce/rice vinegar sauce, orrrrrr I can make my husband pick up some soul food. I should eat left overs to get rid of them, but mac n cheese and fried chicken are calling my name, but they are so unhealthy. UGH. First world problems.
