@chindimples04 sleeping in would be #1 on my list but alas we are not blessed with that in our house @inthewoods23 the home office with windows is definitely a step up from the cube farm!
1) MH and his support of doing all the things to get ku 2) my family, right here at home and my extended family all over 3) a long weekend away at my dad's lake house 4) Savage Love by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, turn it up and bop 5) the whole Pop Culture playlist on Amazon Music 6) mine and MH's jobs that have been relatively stable during this time 7) wine 8) getting dressed, doing my hair and makeup on a Tuesday and feeling good 9) this t-shirt dress on sale for $12 at target 10) you ladies! It is an interesting place to be TTC right now (I actually had a friend tell me this weekend that she wouldn't even consider actually *trying* to get pregnant right now) and you guys know what it's like day to day, we support each other with the ups and downs and provide so much information. I'm just glad I jumped back in and make it a priority to be here.

@Kenneylynn3 your growing garden reminded me of the raspberry bushes that are going crazy that I was going to add to my list. We get like $10 worth of berries every day!

@krash_ yes! what sucks most is if my cubicle was on the other side of the room, I'd have access to a window to see outside. Our rows have half walls, but the middle wall is probably 6ft so I have to stand and be on my tip toes to see the light of outside in our office. We're moving to a new building at some point and I'm basically going to be like, "my cubicle better be near a window or I'm done here". It's depressing when you never see how the day goes by! There's no stimulation for me other than watching people grab their prints off the printer across from my cube. BORING.
@chindimples04@Kenneylynn3 Archer Farms (Target) brand hot chocolate! It's weird how some brands for their dark chocolate hot chocolate will have some milk in it, but this does. Obviously the milk chocolate does. I don't know what it is about the mix though... but if I don't wash the mugs right way and have them in the dishwasher a day or 2 later (it's just the 2 of us so it doesn't always run often), it sort of stains the inside of the mug. Like the powder stays caked on. Comes off with a wipe from a paper towel or rag, but it's just weird. Swiss Miss doesn't do that (which supposedly is coming out with a DF version soon too!)
@chindimples04 our "mini" zoo just means we sorta have a lot of pets lol but it's a good variety! A red-eared slider turtle, sunfish (same tank), a cat, and 2 hedgehogs (my profile pic).

Hi everyone! I’m new to the community. I need something like this today, so here are my 10 things.
1. DH 2. my family 3. My job/paycheck 4. my peloton 5. Summer fruit 6. Homemade pizza on the grill 7. 3 day weekends 8. sundresses 9. Iced coffee 10. Gardening (although rabbits ate one of my favorite plants 😤) bonus: American Dream nut butters 🤤
@krash I understand knowing someone unwilling to try to conceive while COVID is going on. But there is always a risk of something. That's my personal opinion.
1. My faith 2. My husband 3. My relationship with all of my in-laws 4. My mother-in-law's hospitality and their farm 5. My friendships 6. My work 7. My husband's work 8. So many good and wonderful things I do not deserve 9. That I can spend as much time outside as I want to
#10 *TW* specific details of my family and faith
10. My daughter's health and intelligence. https://biblehub.com/romans/2-4.htm "Don't you know that the reason God is good to you is because he wants you to turn to him?" I think of this often because I see motherhood as a gift.
1) God/Goddess/Universe always proving that it’s got my back 2) DH supporting me 💯 3) Faith & Hope 4) Healthy food options 5) Sunshine 6) Nature 7) The Ocean 8) Modern Medicine 9) You ladies of TB💓 10) Steady work
@krash_ that t-shirt dress is so cute, I want it. But I've said I'm putting a morotorium on shopping and have no where to wear it right now 😂
1. My job. I'd kind of checked out a bit during SIP but I'm getting excited again as we head into busy season for us. 2. My garden 3. The long weekend 4. Saving money for our dream home in these trying times 5. Zillow/redfin to indulge my fantasies and help keep my spending in check 6. Family. We're not near ours right now but it's great to have their support 7. Our job security in these crazy times 8. I'm in love with my new comforter lol 9. MH and our great partnership which has evolved over almost half of my life at this point 10. The trail right by our house for running
P.S. I know it's Wednesday but I got a late start on TB yesterday and really wanted to do this this week. I hope that's okay.
