rooskie...I need to take the time to teach myself to crochet. I want to make the scrubbie pads for people. and also knit to do dish clothes. H picked up the knitting but I'm left handed and meed to try again.
It's a lot of fun! YouTube and classes helps out a lot. Joanns sells spools of tulle and I use that + cotton yarn to make scrubbies.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to take a knitting class in October to learn two at a time socks.
Our Hancock closed this summwr so stocked up on tulle before they closed. Joann's is opening mid October in Hancock's former location so that is exciting!

DH realized the error of his ways after he had moved most of the dirt. We finished it the way it actually needed to be done. And because I am a sucker I helped him anyways.
Now if only this would teach him to just listen to me in the first place. /sigh

I just dropped money on a car seat and 3 in 1 booster seat since they are 25% off with a trade in (I got expired ones donated to turn in). Only have buy another set by next weekend.....
Sadly, not even getting the expensive ones but more middle of the road. All 4 after discounts will still cost almost $475.00 with protection plans.
And Im about to drop over $100 on fire extinguishers.
I'm saving as much as I can but have to stock up on deals as well....sigh
Do you have a baby registry or Amazon wish list you would be willing to share? I would love to help out if I can.
Aww thanks! Don't feel obligated because I'm complaining.
He he...we definitely have some wants on here and duplicates between the 2 I haven't cleaned up yet but here they are: Target and Toys R Us.

I don't feel obligated because you were whining, because you weren't. I just want to be able to help a friend. If you were having a baby shower I would want to help out just the same. How is this different?

You're not a sucker, but you are much nicer than I am.

I went to a bachelorette party last night. It was fun, even though i was sober since i had a 25 minute drive home fron the party. Unfortunately i managed to wipe out and skin both of my knees simultaneously on the way into the kareoke bar.
I learned how to knit in like... The first grade. But haven't done any serious knitting since elementary school. I keep saying I need to pick it up again. And have half taught myself to crochet a couple of times. I would like to get back into it because I would love to make a blanket or something. A class would be helpful and probably motivate me.
I'm learning to crochet now. I find it easier than when my friend tried to teach me to knit. Right now I'm making an owl hat, and i just picked up a super sized ball of the christmas cotton yarn to make some dishclothes/pot holders.
I also really liked arm knitting. You can make ahuge fluffy infinity scarf in under an hour with two balls of supper bulky yarn.

Did anyone watch the new JonBenet Ramsay show? It's pretty crazy.
Crazy good or crazy bad? Like, worth watching this is crazy, or not worth it they just went off the deep end?
Crazy good. I finished the first one. It was pretty fascinating to hear the experts weighing in on everything that happened and the evidence, 911 call etc.
I'm so sick of 80°+ days. I hope there aren't many left. I want to go for walk and not be drenched in sweat at the end.
Have you always lived in a hot climate? Maybe I'm just weird since i hate being cold, but I'm always sad when there's no more hot, hot days. Even when I lived in the middle of California I don't remember wishing for the heat to stop.
Grew up in Indiana. Currently live in Oregon. But I've never liked the heat. I have a disease that is triggered by heat and causes a lot of pain (erythromelalgia), so that just adds to my dislike.
H and I went to a wedding last night. It was beautiful. But we were supposed to do my trigger shot at 8pm while we were there, and H decided all of a sudden that he "just couldn't do it". My friend had to do it for me, which was really embarrassing because I had a one-piece lingerie thing underneath my dress and had to get completely naked in the bathroom of the wedding venue. I got pissed that he dropped the ball, we fought (a lot) and I ended up leaving after we got home. We had both been drinking and I just didn't want to fight anymore. I took LouDog and we Uber-ed to a hotel. So....$200 down the drain because I was too stubborn to sleep in the same bed as H. Obviously sex did not happen last night like we were supposed to do. We'll still go for IUI first thing in the morning, but I just feel awful about the whole thing.
TL;DR- infertility sucks and is testing the strength of my marriage.

I"m so sorry. Have you been able to talk to him since?

I"m so sorry. Have you been able to talk to him since?
Yeah...although we haven't said much to each other. He has a tendency to just pretend nothing happened. And I don't have the mental capacity to deal with it today so I'm just letting it go...

Well, I hope eventually you're able to talk to him about it and figure out what part of it all he was having so much trouble with so it doesn't happen again. Though hopefully this IUI will work and it won't even be an issue.
Oh akraus2015, I'm sorry. That sounds so painful. I hope you two are able to talk it out at some point, and that this IUI works so you don't have to face the trigger shot again.
