My last job did this too. Well, apparently we were supposed to get one drink ticket, but the person in charge of handing them out was only giving them to her group of friends and upper management, everyone else was SOL.
My company used to go all out for holiday parties. I'm talking champagne fountains and everything. Over the years, they've majorly cut back on spending so now we only get a free employee luncheon in the cafeteria. Super lame.

Sounds like a blast...
I'm off to buy a birthday cake for my husband. He takes the car to work and had something after work last night, so I'm walking to the store. It's gross out, but I can use the exercise.
I'm thinking about not testing tomorrow, if I'm not bleeding, but I know how you all feel about me not testing.
...that makes it more tempting.
I can understand that. For me, personally, I'm afraid to test. Like, if I'm truely "late" and it's a BFP, I don't want to know. It's anxiety inducing to actually get a BFP bc it might jinx it. It's really silly, I know. Like actually finding out would do anything. But, I'll early test all day long!!
Yea, I shy away from testing at a point where the odds of it being accurate are high. Random test at 10dpo? Meh, it could just be too early. 12dpo comes around and temp is still high? Totally reasonable to test (my LP is 11 days, usually), but I chicken out and don't do it.

Posting and running.....you ever have those days where you feel like you running around like crazy, but getting nothing accomplished? I'm having one of those days. Too much to do and I can't seem to get anything done.

Holy shit, I want a champagne fountain in my life!

See, I don't mind testing, I'm just not sure if tomorrow will yield any different results. I figure if I wait and skip tomorrow, then Friday is much more likely to yield answers instead of crazy.

Not cool!
Right?! I just wanted my one free drink! At least the food was good.

From what I've heard Clomid can also lengthen an LP.
*anecdote*
My first Clomid cycle I had a 15 day LP, which was cray cray.
But your chart looks so freaking pretty. FX for you.

My coworker brought in ingredients to make guacamole. We're enjoying a big bowl of guac with tostada chips as our afternoon snack. Better than donuts, no?

I really hate living in Florida this time of year and this year is the worst! Usually by this point, we have had at least a few cold (for here) days and so far we have had none. It's expected to be in the upper 70s/low 80s for the foreseeable future. How am I supposed to get in to the holiday spirit when it's so freaking warm?! I keep hearing the El Nino should cause us to have a colder than normal winter. I'm ready for that now, please!
icedtea I almost ordered that as my rehearsal dinner dress for the wedding I'm going to next week. It's hot!! We have my company holiday party tonight and I'm dreading it. I feel totally isolated in my office at this point and still don't feel great today. It's at Ruth's Chris so that's nice and H is coming, thank goodness, I need him. And I'll enjoy some free wine. But...I'm getting outta there as fast as possible.
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!
We got invited to a holiday party by a friend and his new GF. It's potluck, but she posted some holiday menu "examples" which included things like Chinese Duck Salad and Oven Roasted Boar.

I've also heard this, but my anecdote is the opposite - I went from 11-12 to +/-7 last cycle with Clomid + Ovidrel. My body is a mysterious creature.
I've got an order for bloodwork for Friday that should come to me at any point today. I'm just ready for an answer.

I'm excited.
That sucks Use them for all the wine and good food that you can.
I desperately want comfort food tonight but 1. trying to eat healthy and 2. dietary restrictions ruin most of my comfort foods. I know of a decent vegan frozen pizza but it's not the saaaaaame. (Yes, I've progressed to tantruming.)
Totally just participated in our weekly team meeting while picking up groceries. I see myself doing this a lot when I start working from home next year.
I was talking to my husband about my IF at lunch today and he admitted he recently had a dream of holding a baby. We also apparently shared a dream last night about me testing this morning and getting a positive, haha.
RajahMD - There used to be a cupcake truck in the city I work in too. It stopped near a different office building every day. Haven't heard about it in a while so not sure what happened. It was dangerously delicious.
Evelyn3 - We're finishing our basement too!! We're taking out some support columns so it will be more open and I think the steel beam is going in this weekend! Of course by "we" I mean MH. I want no part in moving a steel beam.
Ooo exciting!! Haha I kind of mean MH too, this next step will be him and my Dad doing the gyprock on the walls. I can't wait for it to be done
We had our work party today. Since our business is down as a company, we didn't get to have the big dinner and dance with spouses and drink tickets. They did put on a nice luncheon with some Holiday pita wraps (turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo in a pita bread), pop and cookies. It was nicer than I expected when they told us we were having sandwiches at the office instead of a 3 course meal and a dance.

This is pretty much every year for us. Sometimes it's pizza. One year they did have a huge catered lunch of turkey and all the trimmings and a whole bunch of sides.
