What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for my period to end. CD 2 is way worse than CD 1.
RRCS: taking a break from temping until after my period ends. It is a nice mental break.
GTKY: What's your favorite winter/holiday comfort food? Bonus points for recipes. I love sugar cookies. We have a big cookie baking/eating party during the nighttime xmas parade. We even make a "gingerbread" creation during the party that the hosts keep for the holiday season. 2 yrs ago was a trailer park made out of the big graham crackers.

Cycle/Month: 10/10
CD: 18
What are you doing to GKU: Normal stuffs.
RRCS: I'm fairly certain I O'd yesterday but I doesn't bother temping this morning since H dropped DS in bed with me when he was in hysterics because he didn't want to go back to bed. Sigh. I meant to get a quickie in last night before bed because of my gut feeling that I was going to O, but I wanted it to seem spontaneous so I waited for a little while after we got to bed....and then apparently fell asleep so no sex :/
GTKY: Tamales and posole! No recipe because my mom always makes the posole and we have a really close family friend who makes us tamales every year so we never make them.
What are you doing to GKU? Did the usual - had a huge temp spike today so I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday but hanging around here until FF confirms bc my temps were a little weird this cycle.
RRCS: I know I've mentioned that my parents have been visiting for my entire FW. My H and I still got sex in, but I can't help but feel like a teenager and like they know what we did the night before post sex mornings. I'm a grown woman having sex with my husband in my own house yet I feel guilty sneaking around. Looking forward to having some normal sex when they leave!
GTKY: What's your favorite winter/holiday comfort food? Bonus points for recipes. Beef tips and noodles via the crock pot. m.campbellskitchen.com/recipes/melissa's-slow-cooker-beef-and-noodles-25958?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided
Also my mom's holiday noodles. She makes them for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don't have a recipe but whatever she puts in it is addictive.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, CM, CP, OPKs & EOD soon
RRCS: Nothing
GTKY: What's your favorite winter/holiday comfort food? Bonus points for recipes. MH makes lots of soups and chili from scratch during the fall/winter. Those are always delicious and great when it's cold out!
Favorite holiday specific comfort food is definitely green bean casserole!
jennykat sorry you're frustrated, I certainly understand the feeling. thelittleredm I looooove tamales. I'm intimidated to try to make them but I wish I had a friend who would bring them to me! rungirlrun those Nutella cookies, oh my! singingsea I might make myself some baileys hot choc today! Cycle/month: 14 CD: 19 GKU: IUI yesterday and some sex RRCS: my temp was only slightly up this am so I'm worried I haven't O'ed? I took trigger shot on wed and IUI yesterday, so I hope I did! The temp was higher but I was hoping for more obvious jump! GTKY: I love beef stroganoff in the winter...and mashed potatoes...not together, ha. And mulled wine or cider.

What are you doing to GKU? Awaiting FW, temping and charting, CM, MVs, etc
RRCS: None to speak of. DS is still sick. We had blood work drawn this morning. His pediatrician is suspicious for pneumonia
GTKY: Gimme all the soup, stews, and chilis! I don't have links to any favorites Most are in my head or in actual book cookbooks and I'm too lazy right now to type one out.
RRCS: Today I'm trying to be positive. Last night, my DH said a stupid thing about "at least we know we can get pregnant" and I had a hissy fit but NOW I'm feeling better because well, essentially, he's right. But I will never admit that to his face.

Loooooong time lurker from the other place that followed the mass exodus and figured now that we are TAS I will jump in the fun!
Cycle/Month: 1
Cycle Day: 13
What are you doing to GKU? Having sex EOD during what I assume is my fertile window. I'm not temping or using OPKs yet. Maybe I'll start next cycle.
RRCS: Truth be told, I don't know what this stands for (help a girl out?). It feels like this is for randoms? I'm excited about trying for a second. I got pregnant very easily the first month with my son who is 3. So I have just assumed that it will happen as easily this time- but I know that's not true. So I'm trying to be realistic so I'm not too disappointed if it doesn't happen the first month.
GTKY: What's your favorite winter/holiday comfort food? Bonus points for recipes. I love all the food. Comfort food? Definitely soup. Or anything my mom makes, because she is an awesome cook and her food is always comfort food to me.

Welcome monicageller! RRCS = Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks. It's basically a place to put whatever's on your mind, I've used it for TTC and non-TTC stuff. Chart Stalks is if you're temping/charting and have a question about your chart.
