Yay! I am staying strong on the no donut rule too. My boss offered me a blueberry muffin this morning and I turned that down as well. Saboteur.
I wish decaf tasted better.
I did 16oz decaf and then a kcup of regular. We are out of normal creamer at home so the sugar free chocolate creamer is helping with the taste part.
My cup of coffee is 18 oz. And I've been having 2 a day! Today is my first day trying to stop drinking my afternoon cup. At some point I'll make my morning cup half caf but that's as far as I'm willing to go.
As I mentioned in IF check in I have a job offer from another broker, a little more stressful than current job but I'd be able to work from home full time after a few months which is desirable for me (my dog has anxiety issues and hopefully we'll have a child soon). I didn't want to up and leave my current job since we are FMLA protected and I am also in the middle of treatment with RE. I tried to get my current job to let me work from home but no dice and it created a whole stink.
In trying to be forthright so there were no surprises when I got there (esp because it's a small industry and I know them well) , I reached out to the other company last night to let them know about our IF and treatment since we would have some appointments during the training period and that I'd need to miss a few hours in the office (they're like an hour away from my RE) plus possibly an eventual maternity leave. RADIO SILENCE. What did I do.
onesweetworld, I thought about utilizing the crockpot more, but we aren't going to have a sink to wash dishes in. (Except the bathroom sink) It's going to suck.
I've done dishes in the tub before when our kitchen sink froze. Maybe try the crockpot bags??

That is a great idea!!!
I figure I'll be doing dishes in the tub too, at least for some things.

kleigh ugh that sucks-when did you tell them? I hate the no response the most. I hope you hear something soon!
I'm just suffering through the day back at work...H wants to go skiing this weekend but I really just want to stay home. Buuuut...I made us stay out too late Sunday and some didn't ski Monday and I feel bad so I think I should make it up to him. I'm sort of hoping his friends decide to do a guys' trip...

Just found out I need to pay $500 today to get my brakes/rotors/fluid changed today.
That's a grand total of $2500 this month towards things breaking around the house and needing to be replaced on the car. I am hemorrhaging money. ughhhh
Ugh. The worst. I hate when shit all decides to break at the same time. Especially worse around the holidays when we typically are spending a little more than normal anyway. Sorry you have to keep fixing stuff

The wind chill is a bit brutal today. I had to run a few errands after dropping DS off at daycare and I didn't want to get back out of my car lol. I am being crafty today and making sticker charts for DS. We are working with his teachers to try to get him potty trained finally!

I get irrationally stressed out when I see other people limiting their coffee or drinking decaf. Then I realize that means more for me and I feel loads better. MOAR coffee!!

I'm getting a pedicure tonight for the first time in about 2 years. Me and a group of friends are going. I hope they don't mind my missing toenail and gnarly runner's feet.

DH made a huge pot of white beans yesterday. We froze half of it and the rest got smooshed up for paninis today. Mine is chicken, white beans, avocado and jalapeños....so good.

Have fun! I usually do manis, no one needs to touch my gnarly feet.

We are pretty sure that we will be doing IVF this summer so I'm trying to be proactive. I still drink a lot of pop on the weekends which is bad too.
Before our current dx I was all about the 44oz diet Dr Pepper.
wannabmama The actual worst. Just tell me what you're thinking, I'm a big girl. I emailed the lady yesterday evening, I just hoped I'd hear a "no problem thanks for letting us know" pretty quickly given their prior speedy communication.
So I'm all caught up on grading, and have graded all my midterms from today. I have no prepping to do because I have no idea what chapters we're doing next week since the permanent teacher hasn't let me know yet.
This means I can goof off on TCF and knit the rest of the day, right?!
Today is the three-year anniversary of when I met DH. So at lunch I went to the mall and got a sexy little nightie to surprise him with tonight - I hope he likes it!

Come skiing in Ny and have him drop you at my house for wine.

Yes! That is EXACTLY the kind of skiing I am into!

rablissful 's meme reminded me that I didn't realize before this past weekend that David Tennant had a role in HP Order of the Phoenix Goblet of Fire, LOL.
I really need to go for a run, but it's really cold and windy here (at least for Texas standards) and I'm curled up with the puppy watching Barrfoot Contessa on Netflix and don't feel like moving
I love the barefoot contessa....and all the hilarious memes that are on the interwebs.

Hi everyone! House hunting is keeping me busy. One of the first houses H and I looked at and said needed to much work dropped in price by $11,000 making it $54,900 for a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom. I am putting it on our "check it out" list and contacted our realtor. It would need all kitchen appliances, a new front door, a bathroom door (I think) or it was a back door, 4ish new windows, and new flooring throughout. I'm trying to use Home Depot to estimate how much all that would cost. Here's a pic of the kitchen:
My boss (male) thinks it's so unprofessional (and likes to make comments) for the girls in our office to not wear heels 24/7, I totally get it when we are in front of clients but my feet hurt sometimes damnit! Who cares when I'm only walking back and forth from my desk to the printer.
