I just got an invite from one of my WebMD friends to join a private board. It looked really weird to me and hard to follow, so I decided to check out the orig 12 mos + board that I used to frequent...NOT FOR ME!
I feel like if I were to stay lurking on those boards they would be very hard to follow. I'm not liking the new look and I think that this is my cue to no longer lurk. Anyone else feel frustrated with the change? Maybe it is just me and the fact that I don't always like change, but I'm just not feeling it anymore.

AWESOME
One word can describe this weekend that began for me on Friday... AWESOME!
I got to go up to Montgomery and meet with Sherry again before we move back to UT. It was great. We had fun at the flea market, one of my favorite places to shop. Then we had some yummy Italian food that was followed by sharing Tiramizu sp?, my first time having it, YUM! Then we went to Hobby Lobby, another 1st for me. Believe me, if we weren't moving, I could have went broke very easily, but I don't want to have to move anymore than we already have. She gave me an awesome black tote dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness filled with goodies for the family to enjoy on our drive to UT, very THOUGHTFUL. I cried when I read the card, thank you so much! I HAD AN AWESOME DAY!
Saturday was filled with laziness, but the good kind. My husband was so thoughtful that he grilled dinner so I didn't have to cook and he fixed the car so that annoying squeal would stop.
Today, I actually felt better than I have for a long time. I think that getting rid of stress and worries does a body good! I havent worried about what is going to happen in our near future today, it is the first day in a long time that I haven't. We took a drive and ended up going to a flea market (aka Heaven) and it was fun. My children spent a little of their allowance on some things and my hubs got a really cool John Wayne knife and I found an original Nin.ten.do! It came with the orig Super Mar.io Bros/Du.ck Hunt and we also bought Super Mar.io #3, but it didn't end up working..... I couldn't wait to get home and play!
It has been a great weekend! AWESOME weekend!

In honor of my dear friend...
****Major Trigs*****
Life can change with a blink of an eye.... So don't take advantage of those you love and care about because the next thing you know they could be gone to never see again..... Always appreciate who is in your life and remember all the good they have done for you....
One of my good friends passed away Saturday night. She lives in UT and I'm finding it so hard not to be there. We met 5 years ago when I started working with her. She is not just a coworker though. In those 5 years I experience 2nd hand what TTC does to someone who has PCOS and recurrent m/c's. She had a little boy that was 2, but it had taken her quite some time to conceive him. She was TTC a 2nd because she knew she had a long journey ahead of her.
As posted in one of my previous posts, I may have been quite ignorant about TTC and probably made those ridiculous comments to her or just didn't fully understand what she was going through. Over the years, I had watched her go through treatments and seen her have m/c's. It wasn't until I moved away and started TTC that I fully understood her. And I immediately apologized to her and I believe we grew sooo close through emails and support of each other. We both even had a LAP done within the same week so we had a lot to talk about. Well, she finally got pregnant in the fall of 2008. She was on a break and honestly didn't know she was pregnant when she kept going in for pneumonia, they ran blood tests and told her she was about 9 weeks along. She had her little boy in June 2009 and he is 8 mos now.
My dear friend passed away on Saturday. I don't know much about what happened, and it is really hard to accept because it doesn't seem that it can be real. But it is. I am praying so hard for her dear husband and 2 boys that they will always remember her. She was a great friend. I will never forget her and I wish more than anything that I would have answered her last email. But I didn't, because I didn't know what to say, my life isn't that interesting. I'm not always that good at answering right away, its not that I'm really busy, I just depress myself when I have nothing to say. I wish I would have, for my own closure.

Why the suspense??????
Spot has been with me for 4 days coming and going, nothing more than meer appearance when wiping. Took an HPT today, BFN. No cramps, no PMS symptoms at all...not even sore BBs like the last few months. WTH? Why, oh why, must AF mess with me? I know that she is coming, even though I hope she doesn't. I keep waiting and waiting. She is late. I am 14DPO now and my usual LP is about 12 days.
So Sunday is DH's birthday. He will be 44. If we get KU this year that means he would be about 45 when said baby is born. That means he would be 63 when said baby graduates. Maybe there is a reason we aren't getting KU. I wanted a BFP to give him for his Birthday...
