TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
I've read the Maze Runner series and it was really good. The thing I loved about it was that you literally had no more idea about what was happening to the characters than they did, and it takes the course of 4 books for you to finally figure it out. I was so frustrated and just wanted to understand and so I really related to how the characters must be feeling.
Funny, this is what i HATED about that book series. I would literally be yelling at the radio in my car (audiobook) because I thought it was ridiculous he was so lax about everything going on around him. I also saw the movie and it solidified the fact that I no longer cared what happened to those kids.

Don't get me started on the movie. Ruined it.
I saw the movie first. Big mistake. The movie was so bad it completely discouraged me from reading the book.
I'm also balls deep in an argument with an evangelical person about Caitlin Jenner. Why do I do this to myself?
Bad idea. I have had to walk away from a few people that have been ranting about her. I had one person say he refused to call him Caitlyn because he was born with the name Bruce so that is his name. Really? He was born with it? Did he pop out of his mother with a name tag that said "Hi. My name is Bruce."?

Because you represent humanity and all that is good in the world. Duh.
Fight the good fight. I had to get into it myself yesterday.

I'm sitting here waiting for the vet to call me to let me know how my cat is doing and if she will be able to come home today. Last night they told me she was great and said how sweet she has been and tolerant of what they've been doing to her. That made me worry about her more because she's usually stressed at the vets so I wonder if she's sicker than I thought.
What kind of books do you read? I read a lot of young adult fiction novels because I read a lot of what my high school students recommend. I just downloaded Eleanor and Park because it was recommended to be my another teacher in the building and several of my students. I think it's probably one of those sappy teenage love stories, but I'm going to give it a try.
-Young adult fiction is my guilty pleasure -Post apocalyptic civilization novels like Hunger Games or Divergent (I read Four on the way down here) hold my attention really well -I love a good memoir -I read Outlander in 2 days -I have The Martian by Andy Weir on hold at the library -I have read everything Nora Roberts has ever written (FFWC?)
Not sure if this book was mentioned yet cause I haven't read thru everything, but if you like post apocalyptic... you need to read Station Eleven. I literally couldn't put it down!

My allergies are in full-effect today!
I'm trying to eliminate artificial sweeteners from my diet (I was consuming like 10 equal packets a day), so I'm having coffee with 2 tsp of sugar (30 calories). I'm sitting here obsessing over which is worse for me - 10 equal packets a day or 2 tsp of sugar. Let's be honest - it wasn't 2 tsp of sugar that made me overweight.
It was standing room only so we all filed in and stood in the aisle. I turned to face the front of the bus because I'm a normal human. CA got on right after me and proceeded to stand facing the back of the bus. He was three inches from me, my height, and staring at me. He also was breathing like there wasn't enough oxygen in the world (but not in a creepy lusty way or anything).
Turn the fuck around. Why are you willingly making this bus ride totally weird?

I've been thinking for a while about getting a tattoo. And it finally came to me yesterday what I want.
Problem is, I wanted to get something small on the inside of my wrist. And I think this isn't going to be able to be done small. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I want somewhere not super obvious to most people, but that I'll see every day, and throughout the day.
How has this been missing from my life?! I'm on S1 E10 right now and I have no intention of stopping. Fantastic.
Ha! Right? I watched six episodes and then realized that I've *really* got to get out of bed and go grocery shopping. I want to cry. My body hurts so bad and the last thing I want to do is walk through the grocery store. I'll soothe my sads with a few more episodes when I get back home.
I have a transgender family member- he was my aunt all through childhood, and now he's my uncle. For years, I struggled to retrain myself to refer to him as him and he. Just out of habit.
At least you're trying (were trying). It's the people that just keep saying He because they feel right and justified in doing so that are annoying. I definitely have to think about it, though it's admittedly a bit easier than I anticipated.

Well there's someone who obviously has her children's best educational interests in mind. /sarcasm I guess she's not interested in them being able to pass college?

Yeah that's too much to put on your wrist. Maybe higher up on your inner arm? Or wrapped around your wrist or ankle.

She doesn't do evolution and dinosaurs totally existed when people did.

We have tried to cut out added sugar and all artificial sugars. I only miss it now in terms of actual sweets, like pastries, candy, etc. (have a huge sweet tooth) and I still enjoy those from time to time. I put honey in tea and will eat ketchup and stuff like that with sugar (though we try to get lowest sugar and no high fructose corn syrup, etc.) (also: wine). MH lost 30lbs, I lost about 3, le sigh.
That said, I feel like the treat of a bit of real sugar is way more satisfying than tons of fake sugar, so I'd rather have the calories. My cravings for sugar generally are way down, too. I even go cream only in my coffee now and don't miss the sugar.
