R/R: Well I gave a guy at the gym a show this morning. Was standing there getting ready, wearing only a bra and a towel and some guy entered the wrong door! I am still trying to find him to ask him for my payment, 'cos that show is not for free!
CS/Q: Nothing to see. Still no clue what my temp is doing.
GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you? They love to tell the story of when I learnt how to ride a scooter. Mom and sister took me to a ball field to learn and then decided I was ready to hit the road. Leaving the entrance to the field was rather rocky and my hand slipped on the throttle and I gave it major gas. So much so that I went straight across the road, hopped the curb and face planted! Sigh....I was only 16, but it will never be forgotten.
@nitnat007 yikes! Are you sure it was an accident? Creepy. At least you weren’t totally naked! Totally random, but are you a James Bond fan? I’ve been wondering because of your 007

GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you? I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was little, so they love talking about how I’d pretend to be a T-Rex haha
@nitnat007 I can’t believe some dude walked in
you! I’m glad you are laughing about it. I bet he feels mortified!
@lalala2004 Sorry you didn’t get to temp this
morning. LOL about running into the garage. Kid drivers are terrifying.
@mrs_drc_rn Glad you are feeling better. So cute that you loved dinosaurs when you were little! It's always the boys who love them, so it's cute to think of a little girl who does too.

CS/Q:
GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you?
My mom was holding me when I was a baby and I looked like I was about to puke
so she put my head over the garbage can. I guess I didn’t like that idea so I
grabbed the collar of my mom’s shirt and puked milk and bananas all over her.
We were on a road trip so she couldn’t take a shower lol.

GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you? I have run out of gas literally in front of my dad's house. Had JUST enough to get home. the car wouldn't start the next am when i went to put gas in it (we live in a little town and the gas station was already closed when i was coming home - this was before all of them had credit cards at the pump).
@nitnat007 - yeah, where's the dough! Those shows aren't free! @lalala2004 - that's happened to me. the cats found it in the middle of the night. it lives in a drawer now. @mrs_drc_rn - glad you're feeling better! that t-rex story made me LOL. I love it! @eleven_ - FX for you! and I love your story!
*lurking because I'm trying to remain hopeful I'll get to switch over here soon, maybe*
@nitnat007 I would have died! I guess on the upside at least you weren't totally naked? @lalala2004 I feel like everyone has at least one accident when learning to drive. I had a little one (hitting a pole) and a big one (overcorrected and hit gravel and flipped my first car into a ditch and totalled it) and thankfully since then I've been pretty lucky other than a few smaller ones that weren't my fault. @mrs_drc_rn Hahaha small children pretending to be dinosaurs is the most awesome thing ever. Especially the small armed dinosaurs! @eleven_ GL testing tomorrow!! @catlady2015 Boo! See you on the WTO thread.
Testing: TOMORROW! @eleven_ , I fully expect to wake up at like 4 am tomorrow to test. Thank you SO much for holding me accountable, I needed it this week.
R/R: I finally finished my brief! It took like all day yesterday but I am sooo glad it is done. Now to await the partner's feedback
CS/Q: I think our weird weather (very up and down temp wise) is messing with my chart (and therefore my head) so I am ignoring it since tomorrow is test day anyway.
GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you? My grandparents' favorite story is from one time when they were visiting when I was like 3 or 4. I came down the stairs and saw them on our couch and inexplicably exclaimed "are you two STILL together?" They made a reference to it decades later at their 60th anniversary party. Mouths of babes and all. My mom's and brother's favorite story is also a driving one, I saw what I thought was a large box fall from a truck in front of me and did a full swerve at 65 miles an hour to avoid it. It was in reality like a cereal box, and I almost killed us all. They immediately made me pull over and wouldn't ride with me for a long time. I was like 25. Fail.

@mrs_drc_rn I had slowly pulled in to the garage, but then hit the gas instead of the break. So I didn’t go fast because the wall was in the way. Also, our house was on the market at the time
@eleven_ sorry you’re feeling stressed! Take care of yourself
@legallykate I think the weather has messed with mine, too. Either it gets cold at night or the heater kicks on and I get too warm. But I was able to confirm O anyway!
@nitnat007 - i bet that guy was soooo embarassed! @eleven_ - good luck tomorrow! @legallykate - LOL to your comment about grandparents. Its actually really sweet in its own way!

CS/Q:
GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you? when i was 2, i managed to lock myself in a locker at the YMCA, and the fire department had to come saw me out. My mom will never let me forget. All the other stories are about me as an adult, and they involve booze and shame, lol.
@lalala2004 Haha maybe it was intentional. Little bit of a Bond fan, but definitely not a die hard. I know that I have a car accident story or two as well. I backed up into my dads Avery. Put a little hole in the fence. Oops
@mrs_drc_rn First time it has happened to me. But it definitely has happened before. The change rooms are very poorly labelled. Glad to hear you are feeling better today. GL with grocery shopping! I love T-Rex! Cute story.
@eleven_ I am sure that he is rather ashamed of himself. He didn't see anymore than he would have at the beach, so its all good. He is just lucky I wasn't bend over in my thong or something. Things would have been different! Haha your poor mom. GL testing tomorrow. Rooting for you!
@catlady2015 At least you got stuck at home and not the side of the road lol. Sorry for CD1.
@elothair Got that right! I show more skin at the beach so its all good really. He is lucky I am the only one that saw him, others I think would have reacted differently.
@legallykate YAY! Good job on getting that brief done. Now you can relax. That is just one of the cutest stories out! Adorable!
@jengibre_zorro Oh wow! That is quite the experience at such a young age. Your mom must have been so scared for you. Yay for almost being off the bench!!
Testing: Possibly tomorrow -- Beta scheduled for Tuesday
R/R: I haven't been around because work is crazy and I feel blah. But I think when I want to curl in a ball is probably when I should be around community the most.
CS/Q: Nope

R/R: packing boxes came today. Already packed all my books (pro tip: pack books in suitcases because they're heavy) and I'm starting the kitchen. Reserved building loading dock, reserved uhaul, signing lease on Sunday. So excited for the move I could barely focus at work.
CS/Q: my best friend who has 3 kids says her first tell tale pregnancy sign is very visible veins on her boobs. Since I am SSing like a crazy person, I checked my boobs... I'm seeing veins that I didn't know existed. Am I truly crazy or have any of you already-moms out there experienced this?
GTKY: How I declared at 6 years old that I was gonna be an architect when I grew up and then I did.
@leafyarch I mean... Yeah, that is a pregnancy symptom, but so is basically everything. I’ll trust a line on a HPT, not on my boob. At 5DPO, implantation wouldn’t have happened yet, so no actual symptoms would be possible.
