We're picking up our puppy today!! I will aw pictures later. We were going to wait a few months but Bailey has been so mopey and sad and when we took her to the ball field Thursday she was so happy to see the other dogs, that we decided to just go for it. What are you guys doing?!?
Yay for a new puppy, Ray! Is that your new puppy in your avatar?
I woke up at 6 am and couldn't fall back asleep. I'm still kind of in shock after my sister told me about her pregnancy yesterday. I feel so conflicted because I'm so happy for her but I can't even believe it happened so quickly for her, and we've been trying for 11 months...
I'm going shopping this afternoon to hopefully find a new purse. Retail therapy, right?
No my avatar is my dog Titus. We lost him in an accident earlier this month. We were going to wait longer to get a new one - we didn't want to feel like we were replacing him - but Bailey (our lab) has just been so mopey and lonely and sad that we thought maybe it was better to get one now so that she doesn't have to be alone all day when we go back to work. I miss him a lot. He was my snuggle buddy.
I just got done making my spinach dip for a family get together this afternoon. I'm lounging on the couch now and might sneak in a quick nap before we go.

I'm killing time before brunch then I have some errands to do. It'll be a pretty boring Sunday here
Good morning! Slowly dragging myself out of bed this morning.
Ray, I can't wait to see pictures of your puppy! How exciting! Sorry to hear about your Titus though.
ceejay, I think it is normal to need some time to process it. You can be happy for your sister and also feel sad or frustrated or whatever you need to feel.
so no matter how much you back it with, no one gets to keep it? It says "lease". I've never seen a kickstarter you didn't get to keep the product. I like the idea though!
The $99 and up backers get to keep them. Though the $150 one is a 12 month lease.
Wow, I think it's a really great idea. Unfortunately I'm not sure how well they will do at that price point since most people buy BBTs not expecting or wanting to use them for that long.
I was thinking that too. And renting it seems strange to me. 100$ though would be reasonable if you had a friend to pass it on to afterwards or if you were planning to try for multiple kids.
Plus, I joined Parenting's diet bet so I should probably work on that.
Good luck to you! I've been trying to drop 10 lbs for the past 2 months and only managed to lose 2. Need to do that for blood pressure reasons. Yesterday I saw a friend who had her dr. tell her the same thing. She lost 8 lbs in 1 month. Now I feel like such a slacker x2.
I woke up at 6 am today. The day already seems long and boring (it's 9:45). I wanted to take ds to the park this afternoon but looks like rain. Everyone I know seems to be out of town this weekend.
I'm online shopping for a new bike. I really shouldn't spend the money right now but I would love to be able to bike to work, and getting in better shape wouldn't hurt.
ceejay I totally understand. I felt the same way when my SIL announced. I find it very difficult to go to family functions. They all know about my infertility but don't always say the right things.
I'm milking a mild hangover this morning after my cousin's wedding. When MH gets home, we'll go to lunch and then the beach!

I'm so sorry about Titus. We had to say goodbye to our boy Lenny last year and I still miss him. We got our new puppy Lucy (my avatar) partly because our other dog was lonely without a dog sibling.
I hope everything goes well with bringing your new puppy home!
Awe I can't wait to see pics of your new puppy Ray!!
littlelion I also find it hard to lose weight. My biggest problem is that I lose like 10 lbs and then gain it back because I get into my same old habits. So frustrating!

My best friend is having a birthday party for her daughter today who turned 1 this week. I love that little girl to death, but I'm not sure I can go. I've been super emotional about TTC lately and the last time I was at a baby shower I cried, I also felt super bummed around my niece last weekend, and I feel like this would be the same way. Plus it's a 2 hour drive I don't want to make today. I feel like maybe I'm being selfish, but it's just been really hard for me lately. I'm also afraid my friend is going to be upset with me for not showing up. Ugh.
I'm online shopping for a new bike. I really shouldn't spend the money right now but I would love to be able to bike to work, and getting in better shape wouldn't hurt.
FFSC....I never learned how to ride a bike. I grew up in a college town and we lived super close to the campus, my parents were worried about all the college kids driving around and there really wasn't anywhere we would bike to anyways. I'm sure if I tried it at this point I could do it, but I've never bothered to learn. I've been to a ton of spin classes though, so there's that
We take our bikes out to out alma mater a lot. It's pretty empty on weekends and in the middle of nowhere. Tons of parking lots and trails to ride on.

I only sort of know how to ride a bike. I had a bad fall as a kid (still have scars) and never really picked it back up. I can kind of wobble around but I'm never comfortable.
