R/R: BIG temp drop, I'm assuming AF will come later today or tomorrow. That would make my luteal phase 8 days, 2 days longer than last month and I O'd 4 days earlier than last month so I guess I'll take it as a win. But ugh, it doesn't feel like a win.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain?
I stalk the website hip2save, it's a one stop shop for all deals.
R/R: after my family laughing at me all winter because I'm getting a "real " winter here and they haven't really had a winter, I'm amused at them getting hit by the March snowstorm
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain? I'm not a big online shopper. I really only buy my PNVs and Clinique products online
@LadyMillil So does that mean you frequent stores to do your shopping????? Accccck. How do you handle it lol?? Only kidding of course Ever since I got amazon prime, I've made it my mission to avoid the malls/target/walmart etc.
GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain? Amazon is my go-to, but I do actually go to stores for clothes shopping because I have such a hard time finding things that fit me well. I'm lucky to live ~20 minutes from an outlet center so I buy almost everything from the Loft Outlet

either Thursday or Friday
R/R: I had glass of wine last night while
watching The Bachelor. I miss wine and I should make it a habit to indulge
during AF. We also had really good brownies which I proceeded to drop down my
shirt into my bra. We were at my DH’s boss’s house too! Anyone else have the
issue of losing things in their bra if their shirt is even slightly low cut? If
I wear a shirt like this to the movies, I’m finding popcorn everywhere for
days.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What’s your favorite online store/site to find a great
bargain? Usually Amazon but if I see something in the store, I will
check online either at Amazon or the store’s site to see if I can get it
cheaper online. I did this once at Macy’s and got an $80 dress for half off by
buying it online!

GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain? Pretty much everything I buy is from amazon or kohls. I work at the Kohls corporate offices and the employee discount is amazing and you would be surprised with what they have online that they don't have in the store. And Amazon prime is just amazing.
@cdnrunning- Sorry about the temp drop and short LP. But glad to hear your LP and o date have improved since last month!
@georgiagirl3050- I love outlets! I wish I lived closer to one. There are 3 exactly 1 hour away from me in different directions. Don't get out to them as much as I would like.
@justkeepswimming8- I also have that problem with shirts and food. The struggles us women have!

@justkeepswimming8 - Bachelor (and wine) are my guilty pleasure!! I wasn't a huge fan of this season- looking forward to the Bachelorette though!
@georgiagirl3050- I feel the same way- I just never have luck with buying clothes online! We have amazon boxes waiting on our front porch when I get home more days than not.

R/R: Rant- I have parent/teacher conferences at work today- so it will be a long day!
CS/Q: wasn't totally sure if I agreed with FF on when I ovulated- posted on the chart stalk threat yesterday though!
GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain? I use Amazon a lot- but I have noticed that they are not always the cheapest! For in store bargains- I always go to tjmaxx or Homegoods!
CD/DPO: 17/1 (according to FF, only used OPKs this month)
Timing: -4
Testing: Probably won't need to this cycle
R/R: They are totally necessary and I'm glad they exist, *but* do Amber Alerts on your phone give anyone else heart failure? That is the most God awful sound my phone can make! Scares me every time!
CS/Q: There is not much to see, so no.
GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain? ThredUp, hands down. I have found some awesome deals there on stuff I would never pay regular price for. A few years ago I also sent them my stuff to sell and that worked well, but I don't think they pay out as well as they used to so I mainly just buy now.
alysapuggles Yeah, the sound of an amber alert or severe weather storm alert surprise me every time. But, I guess it gets the job done of grabbing our attention.
cdnrunning Boo for the temp drop...sorry it looks like AF will arrive today. FX she stays off for a little while. That is good that your LP extended by two day, hoping it keeps getting longer!
LadyMillil Haha, at the snow comment. Karma is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

CS/Q: Ok, my past 4 temps have been weirdly stable and were all taken within a 10 minute time window each morning, so definitely consistent. It's not my thermometer though because I temped 30 minutes later just to check and the temp will be different. It's probably nothing, but it's definitely not my typical temp pattern which I have seen for the past four cycles where they rise and then fall in a consistent arc.
GTKY: What's your favorite online store/site to find a great bargain?
Hmm, probably Ebates as a website. I like using it to find deals on either sites and get the cash back through them. Otherwise, my go to places are Amazon and Groupon.
@dragonfly87 That it does. I hear you about so many newbs. I was just noticing the same thing. It's like I don't recognize half the names lately. (Not saying newbs are a bad thing. We were all there at one time.) But yeah. I remember those feelings early on too.
@cdnrunning sorry for the temp drop today but glad your LP seems to be lengthening!

Going to start temping next month if I end up being out. At least I'm not flying blind anymore, and I'll have something to talk to my dr about when I go back in August. Yay silver linings!

@justkeepswimming8 Wine with the Bachelor is essential. I do not have hope for this couple at all. And I'm not a fan of Vanessa. He should've picked Raven! Also, I am constantly dropping crumbs down my shirt. It's a real problem
@alysapuggles Those alerts scare THE CRAP OUT OF ME! I think you can turn them off - which I did at one point, but somehow they're on again and I got a flash flood warning last week that about made me pee my pants.
@dragonfly87 My boss is obsessed with ebates and never stops talking about it. I should check it out one of these days.
@shortstack930 Yay for vacations! It's great to have something to look forward to. I've got none on the horizon and it's totally depressing lol

@LadyMillil – my family lives in Texas and they always
call me when they know it’s snowing here to rub it in my face.
@georgiagirl3050 – I have to try clothes on too… I’m
pretty picky about how things look on me.
@LaurenEG14 – I am also obsessing over my HR. With AF
supposed to show up soon, it increased more today (according to Dr. Google, it
should drop before AF kinda like BBT)… crazy SS going on. My boobs also get in
the way of everything!
@autumn230 – DH and I didn’t like this season either. Nick
annoys me.
@BreezyBee – Welcome! I don’t think they’ll work out
either. I didn’t watch ATFR but I hear that they were super awkward and acted
like they hated each other. I was really hoping that Raven won but then her
reaction when he broke up with her made me think that she was in it for the
ring and not the guy.
