I love all the book choices. My plan (which is forever being delayed) is to go back to school for my MLIS. I would love to either work with a children's literacy program or get into archive work.
ETA: It's still early. Sentences are rough.
I actually have a similar plan. I have degrees in History and Literature, so it fits. I plan to start the graduate work when my son enters Kindergarten.
I got derailed when I found out my GRE scores had expired. FYI - They are only good for five years. I was further derailed when we moved out of NYC 2 years ago. I had plans to go to Pratt (even if I wasn't accepted, lol.) I graduated college 10 years ago so I really need to get on it. I want to atleast be on the path to changing careers before I turn 35. That gives me 3.5 years.

At Walmart I bought the cheapie tests. I'm only 8dpo... Tell me to not pee on things yet. I keep trying to convince myself because my LP is usually only 10/11 days.

Yeah, I knew I would have to retake the GRE. I got my first BA in 2000, the second one in 2011. I was a much better adult student/learner than I was right out of high school. I just cared more, I guess.

That's what I'm hoping for. I should have cared more during my undergrad.

I had to Google that. Never even heard of it. Huh, interesting!
It's good. You should check it out. You can't go wrong.
We got the Roald Dahl boxed set for my DS for Xmas, We are halfway through the bizarre Charlie and the great glass elevator. Next is the Magic Finger, because it has lots of pictures. I lurrved the BFG as a child though. It was my first RD book. My fav though is probably Boy.
I am probably TWW right now but I never got cross hairs this month. I guess that is my rant. I am getting all the PMS signs now so Period on Tues/Wed seems about right.
My fav children's book was "A Wrinkle in Time" I read it a few times. Even as a late teen.

A shorter LP doesn't mean you will implant earlier. Implantation can still occur anywhere from 7-10 DPO. Unless it happened to have happened on the early end, it's unlikely you'll get a BFP at 8 DPO. Even with implantation at 7 DPO, HCG is probably not high enough to be detected on most tests.

Thank you. You are absolutely correct. Going for a run with my asshole dog to keep my mind off things. Not sure what I would do without you guys.

Don't do it.
dont do it! I caved and did this morning (way too early) BFN and then had a meltdown. Wasn't worth it.
Testing Plans: well I caved today and BFN but I tested way too early I think. If no AF trying again Wednesday
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Rants: My bobs have been killing me. Like can't sleep at night they hurt so bad (why I stupidly tested this morning), and I have the worst cramping in my legs and hips. Also, it's cold as balls here and the wind is ridic. Raves: DH had to work this morning and had plans to go to the gym afterwards. I texted him about BFN and he came home after work instead of the gym just to give me a hug. Glad I have such a rock through this journey (sorry to be so sappy)
GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? Hard to pick! I love to read! Definitely was a big roald Dahl fan (BFG and Witches were my favorite), also liked the Narnia series. I also read the Saddle Club series because I was a horse crazy little girl (now I'm a horse crazy woman haha)

Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -4,-2, 0
Testing Plans: 11 DPO due to doc visit that day.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Temp went back up finally today. Boobs are so F'n sore it's annoying the crap out of me when I'm sleeping. DH is being cute, keeps telling me I'm Pregnant. I try and tell him not to get our hopes up.....but he's completely convinced I am. I don't think he understands how this whole thing really works. Haha
GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? BFG, James and the Giant Peach and then Piers Anthony Xanth series (which I still enjoy reading, really funny books)
I just intro'd today, so I hope it's okay to jump in here!
Cycle/Month: 11
CD/DPO: 23/4
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: After 13 DPO, I'm in.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: From my obsessive comparisons with past charts, these temps are looking high. Whatever that means at 4 DPO, I guess! This is the last cycle before we go to the OB/GYN for testing. No pressure, uterus.
GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? Best question ever. And so hard to answer! I think A Wrinkle in Time might have to be it. Or The Giver? Although, grannypantiesrock, I'm totally with you on To Kill A Mockingbird! I loved Scout so much.
thewickedfairy - I haven't seen that yet. H only seems to like kid's movies made before I was I born. He likes to reminisce about 70 ' s special effects. Lol.
Testing Plans: Possibly 12 DPO (2/18) in no AF before then
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I was feeling slightly nauseous this afternoon, and I'm trying really hard not to read into it. Every cycle I try to not get my hopes up, but then I inevitably start symptom spotting...
GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? A Wrinkle in Time and the other books in that series by Madeleine L'Engle

I just chart stalked you - the only day I can really see for O would be yesterday if your temps stay high but its hard to tell without secondaries
