wannabmama you're so close! Quick, tell me your favorite meal since the last post was about food...
I love all food, ha! Think my favorite meal ever was in Costa Rica...we rodehorses to this little random town, "parked" them at a tree and went into this tiny hole in the wall for the best fried chicken and French fries I've had in my life and cold cervezas to wash it all down. It was perfect.

I need to not be on here or facebook today so I can do my actual job. I have to get invoices ready to go out tomorrow and Friday is already my short day but will be 45 minutes shorter to leave for a doctor's appointment. And it's my week to clean the office so I need to be super productive today so that tomorrow when Friday is crazy (like every Friday) I won't feel so overwhelmed.

And I'm tired today but the house is getting much closer to the level it should be at....
Now that I had time to pick up and put all of our shit away and we took the totes of clothes and tubs that we have gotten and organized stuff that we picked up for foster care to the garage for now. That was a project to inventory all of that let me tell you so the house kind of got away from us while we worked on that.
But because we haven't been able to run the water softener all week due to no pump working in the septic the showers and toilets are turning yellow from the iron in our water.
So I was going to have to clean the bathrooms anyway (didn't get to them this last weekend) they really need to be done because they look yellow and gross.
But pump is being fixed if not already done by now so when I get home we can put salt in and get the softener going so I can clean them tonight.

Thanks! We are going with 5 other people so it might be a little tricky to cater to everyone. H asked everyone to come up with a list of things they want to do, but ultimately, he is their boss so... I'll get to do what I want.
Since I'm into upping my post count today...
If you end up looking for restaurants here are a few of my favorites that I know are still there (and still awesome)...there are tons of good American food type places but these are a touch outside the box if the group is a little adventurous. Zaytinya (Greek/Mediterranean) probably my favorite restaurant in dc Rasika (Indian) Del campo (South American/steak) Jaleo(tapas/Spanish) Brasserie beck (French/Belgian...frites oh so good)
This is awesome, thank you! There is a lot of good food where we live but it's not very diverse, so this is super exciting to me.

Last night I found out our friends are doing IVF soon. I don't know if there is anything I can do for them...
I haven't done IVF but I do understand the emotional rollercoaster associated with IF treatments. Check in with her, ask her how she's feeling (emotionally and physically), but also let her take the lead with how much she's willing to talk about it. There have been times when all I wanted to do was talk about what I was going through and then times when I just wanted to forget about everything. Maybe send her a nice card or some flowers to let her know you're thinking about her. Even a simple text can go a long way.

cjchio, peaseblossom55, I am so excited about all the museums and memorials. We only have two days there and I'm already feeling like it won't be enough time to see everything.
It's hard to see everything. We want to go back and see things we missed.

I'll start by gauging how comfortable she feels sharing more with me. We hang out a lot but never just the two of us. We have known vaguely that they were going through some IF issues but I haven't been able to find the right opportunity to bring it up with her again. We haven't told anyone we are trying and I think I would like to tell her in case I get pregnant before she does, so that she can at least be a little prepared if that happens. I am terribly awkward with conversations of any substance...
Also, we are headed to D.C. in one week. I need to figure out things to do and maybe make some dinner reservations.
The area around Nationals Stadium has really built up in the last couple of years. There's a great brewpub, some good restaurants, and it's super walkable and fun! Georgetown is my favorite, though. So many good restaurants. Have so much fun!

Wisdom teeth are out! Laughing gas didn't really do anything for me, I was completely aware of everything going on. But it's done and I feel 100% like myself so I'm happy. Still numb, but so glad it's done!
Guys, I just rented this dress to wear to prom and I am SO excited:
Going to prom as an adult is so much better than going as a high school student. My fashion sense is better, my date is cuter, and I get to go to the bar afterward.

It's a tough situation for sure but it seems like your heart is in the right place. I'm pretty awkward/uncomfortable having those types of conversations too, but at least being a part of TCF gives you some clue as to what NOT to say to someone in that situation. Hearing "everything happens for a reason!" or "this is God's plan" is never really helpful. I think telling her that you're TTC is a good idea, especially if you two are close. It will probably sting either way but at least she can be prepared for it.

I love the dress! I am so glad you specified the bolded, I was like "girl, high schoolers should probably not be trying to get knocked up..." I mean I know shit happens, but trying is a whole other situation

I thought about pointing out that I'm a teacher for a second, but I felt like I had already mentioned that I'm a teacher in like every other post. I feel like so many teachers talk about being teachers all the time, and people are like HI WE GET IT YOU LIKE BEING A TEACHER.
That said, here's some things about my #teacherlife: I teach in an inner-city school, and a lot of our kids' parents won't be around to ooh and ahh over them on their way to prom. We as a faculty make it our business to go to prom and ensure that the kids are given the star treatment. We want them to feel special for a night. It's also become a good excuse for my teacher friends to get dressed up and go out to dinner together, and then get fancy-drunk downtown after prom is over
MH wanted to so we drove by there on the way home and the line was wrapped all the way around the building..
I just saw a picture of the one down the street on Facebook. I'm not very impressed with their subs anyway. Would rather have their sammich bread.
and the CEO is a canned trophy hunter. Look at that fucking tool. Dude your penis is probably the size of my pinky. I hope he chokes on a one of his nasty sandwiches.
*I have NOTHING against responsible hunting, but canned or guided trophy hunting is what rich white men with tiny dicks do to get their itty bitty baby rocks off.
