GTKY: What's one thing on your wish list right now? (Not TTGP related) right now I really want built in closet organization.

I want to put in a center unit with shovels/drawers and various heights of bars to fit dresses and MH long dress shirts.

@MrsMiller8588 a hot tub would be amazing! But MH would never let me get one because they are hard to maintain and usually a money pit. Let me know if you find that money tree.

Rant/Rave: All raves today - both kitties slept on the bed again, and they gave me enough room to sleep as well. I'm starting my day with acupuncture, which is always awesome. I should have time at work to get some projects done, as I'm not teaching today.

I'm in the romper.
CS/Q:
GTKY: New floors. God I want new floors so badly. We're about a month away from having enough cash to do the entire house.
@MrsMiller8588 I have a long home improvement wishlist as well! The Chinese have money trees. They're suppose to bring you good luck and fortune, but sadly not real money.
@krashke Have fun in Nashville! A built in closet system sounds wonderful.
@darkstar42 That sounds like a great day you're going to have!
@MrsMiller8588 Yay for the new bed! So exciting. @krashke Have an awesome time in Nashville! @SkilledSailor Love the pumpkin! I'm glad you had a fun class. Hopefully your cold goes away soon!

Rant/Rave: I feel like this is the cleanest my house has been since we moved in over a year ago, but it's still dirty IMO. So I guess that's both a rant and a rave. We just never had the time to really deep clean it when we first moved here, and now the little things are just "part of the house." Hoping to get in the mood for Fall cleaning sooner than later.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What's one thing on your wish list right now? (Not TTGP related) In relation to my R/R, we have built a shed and acquired some outdoor storage, so the attached carport is finally empty enough to try to turn into a patio-type outdoor space. So my current wishlist includes really cleaning it up and getting outdoor rugs/curtains/cushions etc. and really make it a nice place to hang out in the Fall and Spring.
@krashke Have fun in Nashville! Also, we got those Rubbermaid closet organizers for all of our closets. They're nicer than just bars, but not nearly as nice as actual customized closets.
@darkstar42 My older kitty used to sleep on my head every night. It was nice, but not at the same time. Then we started letting the dog sleep on the bed, and she wasn't having it. Now that he's older, and doesn't harass her as much, she's started sleeping on my head again.
@SkilledSailor We are dying to do new floors too, but we need to redo the kitchen, so we have to save up for both. Which might happen in about 10 years.
@MrsMiller8588 GL with the furniture hunt @SkilledSailor oh no! I hope you feel better soon. GL with the home visit @krashke have a great trip! @darkstar42 hope your day stays awesome! I've been considering a Fitbit, so a friend is going to give me her old one to try...if she can find it. Lol.

@kiwi2628 hope you have a great time with your friend. I was thinking about your welcome basket and one of the random things I really appreciated when I stayed with a friend for a wedding was the small lint roller she put in my welcome basket. Really came in handy!
@mrsmiller8588 We we're thinking laminate but I found some vinyl planks I like too. We're doing it on a budget since it's not our forever home. I just hate that there are currently 3 different old ugly floors in just 1400sq/f. What are y'all thinking of doing?
@br0co1ii Two very pricey projects! FX it doesn't take 10 years! I feel ya on the cleanest but still not clean enough feeling!
Rant/Rave: So excited to go to Myrtle Beach on Saturday for 9 days! So not excited to put up with DWs crazy family for that long. I love them, but being with them for that many days is a lot. Especially when trying to remain calm and not stressed :P
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What's one thing on your wish list right now? (Not TTGP related) All of the home reno projects! One thing would be an organized closet.
@darkstar42 - See if you can buy a used one on the FB marketplace or Craigslist. They're usually SUPER cheap and you can get new bands on Amazon really cheap too
@SkilledSailor - We redid our floors before we moved in a year and a half ago and it has made ALL the difference. So worth it!
@br0co1ii - It finally cooled down here and I am also ready for a Fall clean. I swear it's crazy how much stuff you can acquire in the first year living in a new house! GL!
Me: 29 | DW: 30 Married: May 2013 TTC #1 Since: June 2013 IUI 1-6: BFN IUI 7: TWW
@luckypandas my first ever vacation with DH's family was to Myrtle Beach. We had only been dating for like 3 months, and was probably way too soon to spend all that time in close quarters (12 hours there and back in a rv!) And camping for a week. But it was still a great time! Have fun!
@SkilledSailor We currently have a cheap laminate (I think) and I don't like it. It shows all of the dirt and dog hair (I have two dogs) and when I scrub it always looks streaky. It's also very water sensitive and lifted near where we have the dog bowls so now I have to keep a towel down. So annoying. We don't really know what we will do. We like the engineered hard word, but I'm worried it would get scratched from our 2 big dogs.
Me: 31 DH: 34 Married: April 2016 TTC December 2016 BFP 2/28/17 // CP 3/1/17 MFI Diagnosis: Aug 2017 BFP 11/1/17 // DS born 6/18 TTC January 2019 BFP 3/21/19 // D&C (MMC) 5/8/19
@mrsmiller8588 I love engineered hardwood as well! The benefit is you can have it refinished if the dogs do scratch it. Apparently the vinyl planks are practically bullet proof, which is why we're leaning towards those for our current house. But if you're in your forever home, I get wanting something nicer.
@klj0228 I've thought about tile but I had bad experience with tile on my last house. It was everywhere! I don't plan to redo our floor until after the basement is finished so I have some time remind me again - did you do OPKs or temp this cycle? I have had a 15 day LP so it could still be right?
Me: 31 DH: 34 Married: April 2016 TTC December 2016 BFP 2/28/17 // CP 3/1/17 MFI Diagnosis: Aug 2017 BFP 11/1/17 // DS born 6/18 TTC January 2019 BFP 3/21/19 // D&C (MMC) 5/8/19
@MrsMiller8588 so we have vinyl in our basement and I love it! It actually seems to hold up really well to our cats who have claws. They actually have scatched up areas of our harrows with their claws way worse than any of the laminate. This month I had to just use a calendar because I had a uti the days when I should have started doing OPK so I had to trust my calendar. I will be doing temp going forward though.
@mrsmiller8588 You will love the tempur medic! DH and I have one and it’s ruined me. I can’t sleep well in any other bed! I will caution you though—it takes a little getting used to but so worth it!
@darkstar42 You will love the fitbit! Do it!! I second @luckypandas bet you can get a used one way cheaper!
@skilledsailor Sorry about your cold. I hope you feel better fast! I love your pumpkin too! That looks so fun!
@bro0co1ii I love your idea to turn the carport into an outdoor living space! Would you put an awesome grill out there too?
@kiwi2628 Enjoy your bestie time! I know she will enjoy your goodie basket!!
@avrilmai I would also be seriously excited about finding the thermostat. I am always freezing at work, have a fleece jacket that lives on the back of my chair year-round!
@luckypandas Have a great vacation! GL with the crazy family members…at least there’s always the option of taking a long walk on the beach when things get a little stressful. I know that helps me!
Typical LP Length: 12ish, just WFAF to arrive so I can get the next cycle started
Rant/Rave: No rants today. It's almost Friday! MH made a delicious pulled pork in the smoker earlier this week so I have not been cooking at all. And I had an easy day at work, which is always welcome.
CS/Q: Nothing to stalk.
GTKY: What's one thing on your wish list right now? (Not TTGP related) MH and I want to build a fire pit in our backyard. Don't think we'll get to it this season but definitely next summer!
@quiltandknit FX that af won't show at all. I love a good fire pit, so worth the time and effort to put one in. How nice that H made pulled pork this week. Who doesn't love a week off from cooking?!
@darkstar42 agree with others, the fitbit is fantastic! Periodically Zulily has them at a good price. Now they even have some that you can change the bands so you can dress them up.
@quiltandknit the short term plan would be to put a grill out there. We have a dinky little one for now, but will definitely need an upgrade. Long-term plan is to build a deck off the back and have a grill and dining area there. We have lots of dreams for this house, so hopefully we stay long enough to see most of them thru.
@krashke. I used to have a closet like you described. I miss it so very much! (@luckypandas) @MrsMiller8588. Is this your first time having a king bed? Game. Changer. Sweet dreams! @darkstar42. How's acupuncture going? Any testing coming up before your RE appt? ( sorry if I missed that somewhere). @SkilledSailor. CUTE! Everything about that picture is amazing. @br0co1ii That is exactly our home. Except 2.5 years. @kiwi2628. Are you off of work all next week? @klj0228. Sorry for BFN. Enjoy you break @Avrilmai. That is absurd it was on 60!!! @quiltandknit yay! Almost off the bench!!
@jrm_14 Acupuncture is fabulous! Such a relaxing experience every week. The next scheduled test is an ultrasound and follow up appointment with my ob/gyn next Thursday, but I'm seriously considering cancelling. I don't think she'll be able to tell me much more than that I should see the RE, and I think the RE would rather a cd 3 u/s for antral follicle count, rather than an 11 dpo u/s which won't tell much more than if my ute looks normal. Basically, if insurance will cover it all, I'll have the appointment, but if I'm going to have to pay for it, forget it.
