@dragonette505 yeah, I'm in a similar situation. So. many. days. of CM.

@_darth You were up super early this morning to get this started!
@dragonette505 FWIW, I usually don't O until later in the cycle too (CD 18-20), but I usually have cream CM this early. Is this your first time with IVF? How are you feeling?
@nitnat007 I'm sorry for your early wake-up and I hope you can get to bed early tonight. What double workout are you doing today?
@BusinessWife Cycle Day buddy!!! What is the GeneScreen survey? Do you have daily appointments leading up to IVF? How are you feeling?

R/R: 4 mile run this morning, made an awesome new banana bread recipe last night since DH's grandma brought me some old, ripe bananas...can't wait to have a piece with my coffee this morning
@fishsticks-n-custard I was getting the messages too. Thought I was going to have TB withdraws. Morning coffee isn't the same without catching up with you ladies.
@dukestar5 I do my own workout every morning before work (today I did a spin class) and then I teach a bodypump class a few days a week during lunch. Today is one of the double days so gonna have to dig deep. That banana bread sounds delicious!
@SkilledSailor At least I am not alone then lol. Head shots, super exciting and a big step. Congrats on the business doing so well! I think its fantastic.
I'm here for the awesome GTKY. Loooove Ryan Reynolds. Good one, @_darth !
@dragonette505@fishsticks-n-custard since I am in a perpetual state of WTO the amount of CM I have hasn't become almost meaningless. When I was charting before, it seemed like I had fertile CM almost my entire follicular phase. Not a bad problem to have, but it doesn't really tell me much!

@dragonette505 You aren't missing much, movie-wise. Deadpool is the only one worth watching. Green lantern was awful. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was meh, but at least it was full of hot men.
@izza2 Lucky! When DH screws up my temps, it's because he flopped on me for warmth.
@nitnat007 Ugh. Sorry for the wake-up, and good luck at your meeting.
@BusinessWife@dukestar5 I like both of your GTKY responses. "Doesn't matter. Ryan Reynolds."

GTKY: Bang: Weapon XI (Because he won't waste time on idle chit chat) Marry: Deadpool (He has the best idle chit chat) Kill: Green Lantern (AND his stupid animated suit)
R/R: You guys. I have had sex 3 times in the last 48 hours. If y'all remember my bitching from before - I can hardly convince H to HIO 3 times a month - let alone 3 times in 2 days!! Needless to say I'm in a pretty good mood today.
@izza2 Sounds like a good way to wake up! @nitnat007 MH usually wakes me up with his snoring too. Ugh. @BusinessWife I'm joining the chorus wanting to know more about the GeneScreen surveys! @fishsticks-n-custard Sorry about the early morning shift, but I hope your weekend off was fun! @dukestar5 That banana bread sounds fabulous! @SkilledSailor Yay for headshots! @_darth Looks like you had a temp spike today.

WAYDTGKU: temps, cm, opks
R/R: I have my medical procedure this afternoon, so I've been on a liquid diet since yesterday morning. Not fun. On the plus side, I haven't O'd yet, so it looks like the procedure won't mess up our timing this cycle.
CS/Q: No question, but thought I'd put my chart in here, for once.
GTKY: F***/marry/kill. Your contenders are: Ok, like @dragonette505, I've never seen any of these. Maybe I should save this for an unpopular opinion later in the week, but I actually don't really like Ryan Reynolds. I'll go hide now.
WAYDTGKU: for now, just temping. OPKs next week. I bought my pom juice yesterday. and even got green tea... even though I do not like tea. at all. but giving it a try. i'll just chug it.
R/R: for CD2, my mood is pretty good! my 'it starts with an egg' book should be coming in a few days. we have an apt made for a consult for genetic testing for the end of august. annnd I won LFO concert tickets for tomorrow lol.

@izza2 Morning sex is worth the messed up temp! @nitnat007 Yeah i totally go from sticky to creamy to eggwhite (yay!) but its super early for me! So makes me wonder if (a) Im going to have a long fertile period or (b) O early (which i would LOVE this cycle). EEEK why up so early? Were you just stressing about the mtg? I had an email like that 2 wks ago... i was prepared to get laid off or something, but it was just my raise notification and 5 years of employment bonus! Fingers crossed for you!! @BusinessWife Im so hoping our cycles are in the ballpark of the same timing! We did counsyl genetic screening. @fishsticks-n-custard Maybe it means you are having a super charged fertile month... I mean its usually either gearing up to o and no o or big fertile window.... lets hope its that! Whoa just looked at your chart... that is a crazy long fertile window so far! But it looks like your monitor is saying low??? @dukestar5 I wish.. I'm headed into my 6th (!!!) cycle. I think my FW is all screwed up since this is i guess my first real cycle post **TW 2 back to back mc's end TW**. This must be banana bread week! Im ripening some naners as we speak! @SkilledSailor Yay for headshots!! And whoa! Something must be going around this month...also a long FW. Are you gonna OPK today? Your temp went pretty low... sometimes I get a dip before O. @lalala2004 OMG! its actually great to have so much fertile quality cm, but yes, i'd be confused. I've been charting for years and normally i'm usually a classic 7-8 days of CM with a couple of days of each quality. And we def BD tons on TTA months... I do think it helps DH not feel like a workhorse on TTC cycles! lol @_darth I do feel like i have to go back and watch whichever movie that was they had the Black Panther in since it looks like that movie is gonna rock. I do also want to see deadpool (i typoed "deadpoop"! lol!) but i almost feel like it is a too obvious attempt at a snarky anti-hero. OOO looks like you might have o'ed!! @Dilynne YAAAAAAAASSSSSS! High fiving! @darkstar42 good luck with the procedure! Hope you can get back to solid foods quick! @mileswithmyles wow thats quite the temp rise! Also another early fertile CM lady... @catlady1215 Ugh...sorry youre back in WTO. It starts with egg is a great book!
Quick updated AFM: i think my typical cycles are off because of 2 back to back IVF cycles, 1 FET and 2 back to back **TW miscarriages TW** My body is just a hot mess right now Im not even dealing with my Fertility monitor data since its been HIGH since CD 6....
P & G for now, will be back for tags. Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: hio eod + PNV otherwise nada this cycle
R/R: rant - so many, but trying to avoid the ranting. rave - let's see, what's good... Made homemade split pea & ham soup for the first time. It turned out pretty amaze-balls if I do say so myself. It's sunny outside. DH & I found a new fishing/swimming spot about 15 mins from our house. The water is beautiful & clear and was perfect temp on Saturday. My garden is doing alright, not amazing, but not terrible either. Started watching a new tv show over the weekend, Vikings. It's pretty good so far. Also considering making egg noodles again this evening for beef noodle soup.
CS/Q: So after the craptastic beginning of this cycle I don't have it in me to chart this cycle. I contemplated temping this morning, but I've been sleeping like crap, and well... yeah. Decided no F it. I'd like more data since I've only temped last month, but have zero will power. I'm vaguely keeping an eye on CM. So probably a worthless TTGP cycle, but hopefully by next cycle I'll be back to it.
GTKY: F***/marry/kill. This is technically hard to answer (and MH would answer it so much better than I). Yes, Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, who then is transformed into Deadpool/Weapon XI, however; (correct me if I'm wrong) Weapon XI is played by Scott Adkins who is unaccredited in the film, not Ryan Reynolds. Then Ryan Reynolds also plays Wade Wilson who then is transformed into Deadpool in the film Deadpool. However; the Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins & the Wade Wilson in Deadpool are but aren't the same character (they have different back stories, how they get their powers are completely different. The fact that Weapon XI is mouthless/has catana arms/etc). X-Men Origins in general might be an entertaining film; however, absolutely sucks and screws up the timeline/consistency in the Marvel Universe for Deadpool (but we're all just suppose to ignore that lol). Long story short all the above Ryan Reynolds cause he's funny & hot. But character wise...Hate F*** and then Kill: Green Lantern simply because he's the Green Lantern and the Green Lantern is lame. F*** and then Marry: Deadpool from the film Deadpool (or if given the choice Wade Wilson not as Deadpool). And then Kill just because it's a crappy film: Weapon XI.

@fishsticks-n-custard if you're like me, there's EWCM, and then there's the extra stretchy EWCM. So obviously the latter is more fertile. So maybe you can make note of just how stretchy it is? 1 inch, 2 inch?
@fishsticks-n-custard back in the day I totally used to mix up the sticky (rubber cement) type with eggwhite (I dunno why, but I remember doing it!) to the point that I got a microscope and used it for ferning! lol I say mark it as you see it. Personally I really am best able to tell based on the other aspects from TCOYF: (creamy, cold+wet, eggwhite, humid +wet)
@lalala2004 Yeah, the first couple of days of EWCM I had where really thick but very stretchy, like 3-4" *TMI warning* Looked like I had blown my nose*end TMI* Now it's much thinner and maybe 2" stretchy.
But good news! I took an OPK just now at work and while not positive, it was definitely darker than it has been so hoping for a positive this afternoon or tonight. And hopefully I can convince my hubbie to HIO tonight. I work tomorrow until 11 pm so out of luck if we can't get to it tonight.

GTKY: F***: Ryan Reynolds as Weapon XI (hot hot hot), Marry: RR as Deadpool (gotta be funny), Kill: RR as Green Lantern (haven't seen it but heard it wasn't good)
R/R: so we flew home from ca yesterday, and DH is always sort of a baby on planes because he has sensitive ears, so I thought that was what was going on when he just wanted to sleep and wouldn't chat with me. But then when we land, he told me he actually felt like he was going to vomit and die, and he's super congested, and I'm like ok maybe like give me some notice in the future so I don't keep sharing water and food with you?? We got home at 2am ET, tried to go to sleep, then he got up and vomited, then we watched half of game of thrones. Only half. Then he refused to stay home from work so he got up at like 8am, and now he's apparently lying on the floor in his office, I think crying? So. We're off to a good start back in ny.
In other news, my tomato plant didn't die while we were in ca.
CS/Q: nah, not yet
GTKY: F***/marry/kill. Your contenders are: f dead pool, marry green lantern, kill weapon x
@catlady1215 I feel the same about green tea. Not sure that I can bring myself to even chug it yet. Trying EPO, pom juice and water instead.
@dragonette505 Well I am definitely curious because what I thought it was about, we covered last week in a different meeting....FX I have the same luck as you! The sleep was a combination of fireworks waking me up, DH snoring, just not being able to shut my brain down. I find that I struggle with that a lot on Sunday nights. Getting back into the swing of things. Sorry to hear that your cycle is all out of whack. Hope it straightens out.
@lurvelybunchofcocnuts Loving all the raves! Especially the new swim spot! FX for this cycle.
@cards10 Welcome back! And I am super jealous of your sunburn right now! Haha but glad that you are covered up. Enjoy it!!

@doxiemoxie212 WOW!! I really hope that YH is feeling better soon. And going to work still? Talk about stubborn! The Man Flu is real though! And hope that you don't get whatever it is that he has, that would be no fun.
@nitnat007 Ugh... I hate when my brain wont shut down. Hopefully its a good meeting @Stargazer1lily Laundry is a beast! We got ours all done yesterday, but now...folding! lol
@doxiemoxie212 GL with YH! MH is such a baby when sick. Glad to hear your tomato plants survived @Stargazer1lily laundry ftw! I have so much to fold and put away @cards10 GL with the sunburn!

GL with the early shift (I start work at 6 every morning lol), but with your schedule I could not imagine doing that. Hope it's uneventful and goes quickly today. @BusinessWife I asked the GTKY question to MH, his answer was the same, uhhh either way it's RR, so you might as well bang them all @nitnat007 hope your work meeting is nothing terrible, those unknown meetings suck @izza2 heck yeah, early AM HIO FTW! @dragonette505 I get creamy CM pretty much throughout my entire cycle too

I cannot wait until tonight to watch it. @dukestar5 I love banana bread. My DH usually makes different breads. I tried to make zuchini bread this weekend to use up all the zuch from our garden, and 4 turned out great. The other 4 I over filled the pans and they did not cook very well. I guess DH should just make it from now on. @SkilledSailor Yay for your business taking the next step. @_darth I have piles of cloths that I washed two weeks ago that still need folding... but it is clean, that is the important part! @dilynne Yay for lots of HIO @darkstar42 I am glad your timing will still be good this month! @mileswithmyles It does always get me down, turning my alarms back on after them being off for a while. @catlady1215 I loved LFO!! @cards10 Enjoy your last day of vacation. @stargazer1lily Sometimes I wish I just had to go to the laundromat since I could do everything at once and be done with it. @doxiemoxie212 Glad your tomato plant survived!

@doxiemoxie212 I'm so surprised and saddened to see you back in wto, sorry YH sounds like he's riding the struggle bus right now. Hopefully he feels better soon and you don't catch whatever yuckiness he has! @lurvleybunchococonuts oh yeah, aloe vera FTW!
@nitnat007 - Truth! I used to wake him up with my snoring, so I'll take sex any day! @fishsticks-n-custard - I was getting the "over capacity" messages this morning, so eventually gave up. Andalso; get it tonight, girl! @dukestar5 - How was the banana bread? @_darth - Lol, H usually falls asleep right next to me to steal my warmth, but by the time he wakes up he's on the opposite side of the bed because I turn in to a furnace. FX that you get CHs soon! @Dilynne - Woo, you go girl! 3 times in 48 hours?! @darkstar42 - GL at your procedure this afternoon! @catlady1215 - Sorry you're back in WTO. *hugs* I hope you enjoy ISWTE! I bought the kindle version and refer back to it every once in a while. It's amazing the things we were never taught in health class! @dragonette505 - I'm sorry your cycles are wonky! *hugs* @lurvleybunchococonuts - I love that you're probably the only one who actually put thought in to the GTKY. If I could double love-tit your post, I definitely would. @doxiemoxie212 - Is he in his office at work, or like your home office? I hope he starts to feel better, and you don't catch whatever he has! Also glad that your tomato plant survived!! @labgrand2012 - Congratulations!! Is it a juice/drink cleanse, or just kind of eating/drinking certain healthy/"more pure" things? @Cricket648 - Yay for possibly O'ing!!
@doxiemoxie212 - I'm so sorry that he's sick, but I have to be completely honest and tell you that I may have laughed while imagining him just lying on the floor of his office at work. Is he usually that stubborn? MH would be the same way and would go to work and mope the whole day and then come home and regret going... and then still go to work the next day.
@izza2 the thing is, DH will not tell anyone he's sick unless he's really really sick. It makes me really angry because he just gets everyone around him infected with no warning. I'm laughing at him too because he's brought this on himself by going to work, but apparently lying down is the only way he can prevent himself from vomiting. I don't know how he made it there nor how he's going to make it home. Sigh. Lol

@nitnat007 Ugh. Sorry for the wake-up, and good luck at your meeting.
@BusinessWife @dukestar5 I like both of your GTKY responses. "Doesn't matter. Ryan Reynolds."
@fishsticks-n-custard I'm getting over capacity issues too. Hope they figure it out soon.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL
CD: 24
WAYDTGKU: Waiting on CH. Using my imaginary psychic powers to will my temps to rise.
R/R:
Rant: Something/someone keeps deleting my signature. I keep putting it back.
Rave: Despite a lazy weekend, I cleaned the kitchen last night, and the laundry is clean (not folded, let's not go crazy, but it is clean). I'm feeling good about the week.
CS/Q: I think my temps may really be rising. Go CH go.
GTKY:
Bang: Weapon XI (Because he won't waste time on idle chit chat)
Marry: Deadpool (He has the best idle chit chat)
Kill: Green Lantern (AND his stupid animated suit)
Lilo and Stitch (2002)
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: Having sex with my husband finally!
R/R: You guys. I have had sex 3 times in the last 48 hours. If y'all remember my bitching from before - I can hardly convince H to HIO 3 times a month - let alone 3 times in 2 days!! Needless to say I'm in a pretty good mood today.
CS/Q:
GTKY: F***/marry/kill.
I CANT GIF!!
Married: 04/05/15
TTC since: 02/16/16
@nitnat007 MH usually wakes me up with his snoring too. Ugh.
@BusinessWife I'm joining the chorus wanting to know more about the GeneScreen surveys!
@fishsticks-n-custard Sorry about the early morning shift, but I hope your weekend off was fun!
@dukestar5 That banana bread sounds fabulous!
@SkilledSailor Yay for headshots!
@_darth Looks like you had a temp spike today. Fx it keeps going up!
Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: temps, cm, opks
R/R: I have my medical procedure this afternoon, so I've been on a liquid diet since yesterday morning. Not fun. On the plus side, I haven't O'd yet, so it looks like the procedure won't mess up our timing this cycle.
CS/Q: No question, but thought I'd put my chart in here, for once.
GTKY: F***/marry/kill. Your contenders are:
Ok, like @dragonette505, I've never seen any of these. Maybe I should save this for an unpopular opinion later in the week, but I actually don't really like Ryan Reynolds. I'll go hide now.
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: green tea, temping, CM, OPKs, EOD
R/R: Rant- I did not miss getting up to an alarm. Rave- it feels nice to put myself together today. I barely did my hair or makeup this summer.
CS/Q: [spoiler] [/spoiler]
GTKY: F***/marry/kill. Your contenders are:
F- Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool
M- Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern
K- Ryan Reynolds as Weapon X
But really, he's just hot overall!
@dragonette505 Definitely see Deadpool! It's so funny. I find that I go through several stages of cM before Oing
@izza2 oh well! Sometimes an inaccurate temp is worth it!
@nitnat007 busy day! Good luck!
@BusinessWife glad you got those done
@fishsticks-n-custard so early! Ugh!
@dukestar5 that bread sounds yummy!
@SkilledSailor fun! Are you doing your own hair and makeup or having it done?
@lalala2004 I starting tracking CM and temps the cycle before to get in the habit
@_darth I'm the worst at putting laundry away. I just pick clean clothes out of the pile of clean laundry....
@Dilynne damn girl! Good for you!
@darkstar42 good luck with your procedure. I'm glad your timing will be okay.
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: for now, just temping. OPKs next week. I bought my pom juice yesterday. and even got green tea... even though I do not like tea. at all. but giving it a try. i'll just chug it.
R/R: for CD2, my mood is pretty good! my 'it starts with an egg' book should be coming in a few days. we have an apt made for a consult for genetic testing for the end of august. annnd I won LFO concert tickets for tomorrow lol.
CS/Q: nothing to see yet
GTKY: I don't know his characters buuuut I'm just giving ryan Reynolds a big thumbs up

fingers crossed for our rainbow baby
@nitnat007 Yeah i totally go from sticky to creamy to eggwhite (yay!) but its super early for me! So makes me wonder if (a) Im going to have a long fertile period or (b) O early (which i would LOVE this cycle). EEEK why up so early? Were you just stressing about the mtg? I had an email like that 2 wks ago... i was prepared to get laid off or something, but it was just my raise notification and 5 years of employment bonus! Fingers crossed for you!!
@BusinessWife Im so hoping our cycles are in the ballpark of the same timing! We did counsyl genetic screening.
@fishsticks-n-custard Maybe it means you are having a super charged fertile month... I mean its usually either gearing up to o and no o or big fertile window.... lets hope its that! Whoa just looked at your chart... that is a crazy long fertile window so far! But it looks like your monitor is saying low???
@dukestar5 I wish.. I'm headed into my 6th (!!!) cycle. I think my FW is all screwed up since this is i guess my first real cycle post **TW 2 back to back mc's end TW**. This must be banana bread week! Im ripening some naners as we speak!
@SkilledSailor Yay for headshots!! And whoa! Something must be going around this month...also a long FW. Are you gonna OPK today? Your temp went pretty low... sometimes I get a dip before O.
@lalala2004 OMG! its actually great to have so much fertile quality cm, but yes, i'd be confused. I've been charting for years and normally i'm usually a classic 7-8 days of CM with a couple of days of each quality. And we def BD tons on TTA months... I do think it helps DH not feel like a workhorse on TTC cycles! lol
@_darth I do feel like i have to go back and watch whichever movie that was they had the Black Panther in since it looks like that movie is gonna rock. I do also want to see deadpool (i typoed "deadpoop"! lol!) but i almost feel like it is a too obvious attempt at a snarky anti-hero. OOO looks like you might have o'ed!!
@Dilynne YAAAAAAAASSSSSS! High fiving!
@darkstar42 good luck with the procedure! Hope you can get back to solid foods quick!
@mileswithmyles wow thats quite the temp rise! Also another early fertile CM lady...
@catlady1215 Ugh...sorry youre back in WTO. It starts with egg is a great book!
Quick updated AFM: i think my typical cycles are off because of 2 back to back IVF cycles, 1 FET and 2 back to back **TW miscarriages TW** My body is just a hot mess right now Im not even dealing with my Fertility monitor data since its been HIGH since CD 6....
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: hio eod + PNV otherwise nada this cycle
R/R: rant - so many, but trying to avoid the ranting. rave - let's see, what's good... Made homemade split pea & ham soup for the first time. It turned out pretty amaze-balls if I do say so myself. It's sunny outside. DH & I found a new fishing/swimming spot about 15 mins from our house. The water is beautiful & clear and was perfect temp on Saturday. My garden is doing alright, not amazing, but not terrible either. Started watching a new tv show over the weekend, Vikings. It's pretty good so far. Also considering making egg noodles again this evening for beef noodle soup.
CS/Q: So after the craptastic beginning of this cycle I don't have it in me to chart this cycle. I contemplated temping this morning, but I've been sleeping like crap, and well... yeah. Decided no F it. I'd like more data since I've only temped last month, but have zero will power. I'm vaguely keeping an eye on CM. So probably a worthless TTGP cycle, but hopefully by next cycle I'll be back to it.
GTKY: F***/marry/kill.
This is technically hard to answer (and MH would answer it so much better than I). Yes, Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, who then is transformed into Deadpool/Weapon XI, however; (correct me if I'm wrong) Weapon XI is played by Scott Adkins who is unaccredited in the film, not Ryan Reynolds. Then Ryan Reynolds also plays Wade Wilson who then is transformed into Deadpool in the film Deadpool. However; the Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins & the Wade Wilson in Deadpool are but aren't the same character (they have different back stories, how they get their powers are completely different. The fact that Weapon XI is mouthless/has catana arms/etc). X-Men Origins in general might be an entertaining film; however, absolutely sucks and screws up the timeline/consistency in the Marvel Universe for Deadpool (but we're all just suppose to ignore that lol). Long story short all the above Ryan Reynolds cause he's funny & hot. But character wise...Hate F*** and then Kill: Green Lantern simply because he's the Green Lantern and the Green Lantern is lame. F*** and then Marry: Deadpool from the film Deadpool (or if given the choice Wade Wilson not as Deadpool). And then Kill just because it's a crappy film: Weapon XI.

R/R: so we flew home from ca yesterday, and DH is always sort of a baby on planes because he has sensitive ears, so I thought that was what was going on when he just wanted to sleep and wouldn't chat with me. But then when we land, he told me he actually felt like he was going to vomit and die, and he's super congested, and I'm like ok maybe like give me some notice in the future so I don't keep sharing water and food with you?? We got home at 2am ET, tried to go to sleep, then he got up and vomited, then we watched half of game of thrones. Only half. Then he refused to stay home from work so he got up at like 8am, and now he's apparently lying on the floor in his office, I think crying? So. We're off to a good start back in ny.
In other news, my tomato plant didn't die while we were in ca.
CS/Q: nah, not yet
GTKY: F***/marry/kill. Your contenders are: f dead pool, marry green lantern, kill weapon x
@Dilynne Whoop Whoop!! HIO FTW!!
@darkstar42 GL for this afternoon. Hope it all goes well and you get to eat a solid meal soon!
@mileswithmyles Have a great first day back!
@catlady1215 I feel the same about green tea. Not sure that I can bring myself to even chug it yet. Trying EPO, pom juice and water instead.
@dragonette505 Well I am definitely curious because what I thought it was about, we covered last week in a different meeting....FX I have the same luck as you! The sleep was a combination of fireworks waking me up, DH snoring, just not being able to shut my brain down. I find that I struggle with that a lot on Sunday nights. Getting back into the swing of things. Sorry to hear that your cycle is all out of whack. Hope it straightens out.
@lurvelybunchofcocnuts Loving all the raves! Especially the new swim spot! FX for this cycle.
@cards10 Welcome back! And I am super jealous of your sunburn right now! Haha but glad that you are covered up. Enjoy it!!
ETA more comments.....
@doxiemoxie212 WOW!! I really hope that YH is feeling better soon. And going to work still? Talk about stubborn! The Man Flu is real though! And hope that you don't get whatever it is that he has, that would be no fun.
@Stargazer1lily Laundry is a beast! We got ours all done yesterday, but now...folding! lol
@Stargazer1lily laundry ftw! I have so much to fold and put away
@cards10 GL with the sunburn! Lots of aloe vera and make sure to rehydrate
@catlady1215 yay, free tickets is awesome!
@mileswithmyles my daily work appearance would appall you I rarely do my hair or make-up for work
@darkstar42 GL and FX that your procedure goes well
@Dilynne get it girl!
@_darth Hope your temps stay up Also, love the fact that you also hate Green Lantern, I'm more ambivalent leaning towards hating that movie.
@lalala2004 Ugh, the cramping/moody/etc with no visible AF SUCKS!
@SkilledSailor yay headshots
@dukestar5 your motivation and ability to run amazes me, I am jealous and sooo not a runner lol
@fishsticks-n-custard Hai! GL with the early shift (I start work at 6 every morning lol), but with your schedule I could not imagine doing that. Hope it's uneventful and goes quickly today.
@BusinessWife I asked the GTKY question to MH, his answer was the same, uhhh either way it's RR, so you might as well bang them all
@nitnat007 hope your work meeting is nothing terrible, those unknown meetings suck
@izza2 heck yeah, early AM HIO FTW!

@dragonette505 I am right there with you on the Monday feeling...
@izza2 Nice, early morning fun!
@nitnat007 Enjoy your workouts, wow two a days, I dont think I can do that anymore!
@BusinessWife FX for your GeneScreen results.
@fishsticks-n-custard I am so sad I did not watch GOT last night! I cannot wait until tonight to watch it.
@dukestar5 I love banana bread. My DH usually makes different breads. I tried to make zuchini bread this weekend to use up all the zuch from our garden, and 4 turned out great. The other 4 I over filled the pans and they did not cook very well. I guess DH should just make it from now on.
@SkilledSailor Yay for your business taking the next step.
@_darth I have piles of cloths that I washed two weeks ago that still need folding... but it is clean, that is the important part!
@dilynne Yay for lots of HIO
@darkstar42 I am glad your timing will still be good this month!
@mileswithmyles It does always get me down, turning my alarms back on after them being off for a while.
@catlady1215 I loved LFO!!
@cards10 Enjoy your last day of vacation.
@stargazer1lily Sometimes I wish I just had to go to the laundromat since I could do everything at once and be done with it.
@doxiemoxie212 Glad your tomato plant survived! And wow, yes dont let me share germs with you if you are sick! I hope you dont get sick.
BFP#3 5/22/17 | MC 6/17/17 at 7w3d
@izza2 Totally worth messing up your temp if you ask me!
@nitnat007 Good luck with your meeting! Hopefully it's something good
@SkilledSailor Have fun getting your head shots done today! I probably missed it somewhere, but what is your business?
@_darth Glad you're feeling good about this week! Positive energy is always a good thing!
@Dilynne Sounds like a great 48 hours to me! Get it!
@mileswithmyles Hair and make-up usually go out the window for me during the summer, too.
@cards10 Glad you had an awesome vacation!
@Stargazer1lily Is there such thing as being "caught up" on laundry?
@doxiemoxie212 That sucks! I hope YH feels better soon, and that you don't catch whatever he has!
@labgrand2012 Way to go on the weight loss! That's awesome!

@lurvleybunchococonuts oh yeah, aloe vera FTW!
@fishsticks-n-custard - I was getting the "over capacity" messages this morning, so eventually gave up. Andalso; get it tonight, girl!
@dukestar5 - How was the banana bread?
@_darth - Lol, H usually falls asleep right next to me to steal my warmth, but by the time he wakes up he's on the opposite side of the bed because I turn in to a furnace. FX that you get CHs soon!
@Dilynne - Woo, you go girl! 3 times in 48 hours?!
@darkstar42 - GL at your procedure this afternoon!
@catlady1215 - Sorry you're back in WTO. *hugs* I hope you enjoy ISWTE! I bought the kindle version and refer back to it every once in a while. It's amazing the things we were never taught in health class!
@dragonette505 - I'm sorry your cycles are wonky! *hugs*
@lurvleybunchococonuts - I love that you're probably the only one who actually put thought in to the GTKY. If I could double love-tit your post, I definitely would.
@doxiemoxie212 - Is he in his office at work, or like your home office? I hope he starts to feel better, and you don't catch whatever he has! Also glad that your tomato plant survived!!
@labgrand2012 - Congratulations!! Is it a juice/drink cleanse, or just kind of eating/drinking certain healthy/"more pure" things?
