bex15, we picked July 15, 2017. We weren't particular about the date and it was the only one they had available that fit in with the BM's work schedule.
I'm impressed you have so many people going together for apples!
As to what to make, some ideas: - Apple pie bars (like this) - Applesauce - Apple and sausage skillet (good with potatoes) - Apple cinnamon bundt cake - Apple and brie tarts - Apple, butternut squash, sage soup (like this)
Can you tell I love apples?
OMG. I LOVE apples in savory dishes. The apple and sausage skillet is so freaking good. I love it with sweet potatoes and shaved brussels sprouts!

I'm attempting to do as little work as possible today.
bibliothecary, H is at the drag races ALL weekend. I will see him for a short time tomorrow afternoon when I drag him to a friend's wedding, then he'll be right back at it. This is his happy time, lol.
My mid-cycle scan kinda sucked today, only one mature follicle (last month I had 4), so I'm cranky today.
Also, I have Stella product credit burning a hole in my pocket and can't decide what to use it on. #firstworldproblems

I have cut soda out of my diet (it was nearly 100% of my daily liquid intake)
Why are you always me?
Except I'm not quite at no soda yet. I've gone caffeine free and less, but I'm working on it.
This is me with coffee. I keep trying to convince myself that if I can manage to give up coffee and wine I might actually get pregnant again. I'm down to 1ish cup of coffee a day and 1-2 glasses of wine a few times a week. In writing that doesn't sound good at all, but it's actually pretty good considering where I was...

Maybe I'm biased because this is where I'm at but this doesn't sound bad at all. 🤔 I have a single cup of coffee every day and a couple of drinks each week.
We don't have any plans this weekend... No chores or big projects. No parties or dinners or company. It feels very weird after feeling like there's always something for the last 6+ months lol

I just feel like I should be doing so much better by this point. I was used to like 3-4 cups of coffee a day and usually a glass of wine or two every night with dinner. I know that's not good for me, but they're hard habits to break!
Since starting IUI I've been trying not to drink any alcohol at all during the TWW, but I usually cave and have a glass or two at some point. I honestly don't know if it makes any difference, but at cycle 23, I'm getting a little desperate.

I love those weekends. Haven't had one in our house in a very long time. And unfortunately I don't see a no-plans weekend in our future until at least sometime in 2017.

So this one time I bought $350 worth of meat from a traveling meat salesman.
After I bought it I had some regrats because that's a lot of money and I was worried it would be shitty. So I did some research and they have AWFUL reviews for this area. Like, one star I can't even feed this to my dog, kind of stuff. So I start freaking out and call MH. He does some investigating and finds out there is a law passed by the FTC that you have three business days to request a refund of a purchase made at your house or business by door to door people. So I called the company and they're sending someone out today to pick up the meat and give me my money back. Thus (hopefully) ends the saga of the meat.

It's so strange, I feel like I lost my identity haha. I keep finding myself starting to suggest things. Like breaking down the garden or transplanting some plants or something just to fill the time.

That is quite the saga. I'm glad you're able to return it.
Like how much is $350 worth of meat, anyway? How many pounds? What kind of volume are we talking about?? I just can't visualize it...

It's about 70 chicken breasts and 50 wings plus crab legs, swordfish, fried shrimp and some other stuff I can't remember. All in all not worth it but I freaked out and just didn't say no. Let ye be not so stupid!

Let us all learn from your mistake - don't buy meat from strangers!
chad5285 I don't even know how I'd cram all of that into my freezer. Do you have a stand alone?
Also, I really love this story and I keep trying to imagine my husband's reaction to this happening with me.
We have a deep freeze that my grandparents gave us. That's the only thing in it right now because we aren't the Duggars and never need it. Plus I try to eat mostly vegetarian so none of that meat was even for me lol
FFFC? I also bought meat from a truck/stranger. We had been talking about buying a package from the butcher, so I went for it when the rando showed up in my driveway with a sob story. We ended up eating it all, but it was definitely not the highest quality. Would not do again!

Is this something I have to look forward to when we move to suburbia some day?

chad5285, do you think it'll be the same guy with another sob story to try and guilt you into keeping it? I think you need a good plan. Maybe you could tell him that you're a vegetarian and that your H decided to become one too? And then tell him about all the horrors of factory farming. Maybe you can have some videos handy to show him for good measure.

marshian thanks for the apple suggestions! the bundt cake is a great idea and top of my list now! I might actually use everything I pick, I was planning on applesauce thats for sure.
I live in the burbs too and have never seen a door to door meat guy. I do still see the milkman though.
