Ugggh, just venting here....
Originally, FF told me about a week ago that I ovulated on CD12.
Then, a couple of days ago it decided to move my O day CD 15. And
now, it just changed my O day again , back to CD 12. SO frustrating!
Seriously, I think this next cycle it's time for a break. I'm soooo sick
of all this TTC crap....temping, charting, OPK's, checking CM,
freaking out over every. little. symptom. during the 2ww (2 week
wait)....I'm DONE.
Also, I definitely need to call my doctor tomorrow to schedule my
annual and make sure I talk to her about TTC. I'm hoping since DH
is 35, she'll at least agree to him getting a SA, so we know for sure
or not if there's any problem on his part. *fingers crossed* that it's
NOT him, of course!! But, he's also worried that it may be him....so
it'll ease our fears a bit to know for sure.
Who knows...maybe cycle 8 will be the lucky one. I'm really starting
to lose hope, though....so, we'll see.
*Edit* Great. When I entered my temperature in this morning, it moved my O day BACK to CD 15. *sigh*

Thoughtless Thursday
So, I'm feeling kind of blue tonight. I started spotting today, so I'm pretty sure it's on to cycle #8. *sigh* It's getting harder and harder as the months go by....and I'm not pregnant. UGH. I'm having a pity party for myself tonight....please ignore me.
Anyways, I figured since I don't really feel like writing a whole lot, and I really don't have too much to say, I'll participate in Katie's fun Thoughtless Thursday post!
My pictures are of something that makes me SUPER happy, and if you're not a huge fan like me....you might just want to pass on reading this post. ;o) It's all about The Happiest Place On Earth....DISNEY WORLD, of course!! :D

**Weekend Update**
Can I start off by saying that I can't believe it's almost Wednesday already! I love that this week is flying by! That makes me a happy girl. :o)
So, let's talk about my weekend....
Friday night Hubs and I drove up to Boston for our first Red Sox game of the season! Super exciting and fun, right?? Ha, yeah...that trip ended up being a big fat FAIL. I was absolutely starving on our drive up to the game, so we decided to stop at Dunkin Donuts to get some coffee, and I also got a grilled cheese flat bread sammy. *barf* Trust me, don't ever order one of those sandwiches from there...EVER. For realz. Let's just say, I ended up spending about 75% of the game sitting my arse on the toilet, feeling like I was D-Y-I-N-G. It was awful. And, to make matters worse....I had to endure two different train rides on the way home - one was about 10 minutes long, and then we had to switch to another T, which was about another 20 minutes long. And then, we had to drive another 20 minutes back to our friend's house. And when we finally made it back to her house, I spent about another hour or so in her bathroom. LOL Ohhhh man, was it a BAD night! Let's just hope my next game in two weeks ends up with a much happier ending than this one did! ;o)
There's some good news....we did end up getting a few good pictures in before I started feeling like death! Yay! :P
Here's a view from our seats....there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Love Fenway!
On Saturday we went to a BBQ at one of our good friend's house down the street from us. I still wasn't feeling so hot earlier in the day, so I slept in and went to the party a little later in the day. And of course, what does everyone say to me the second I walk in door?? "Erika, how are you feeling?! ARE YOU PREGNANT?!?!" Seriously guys...trust me, you'd know if I was pregnant. Ha! There would be no hiding it. So, I ended up having to down a beer (or two) to prove that I wasn't pregnant....good times! (Speaking of being pregnant...can anyone tell me what the H is going on with my chart up there?! Did I ovulate yet?? Why the heck did I have so many darn +OPK's this cycle?! Geeeeez. I guess only time will tell.)
On Sunday, we relaxed for most of the day and ran some errands, and then we went back to our friend's house to finish up the food/beer they had from the night before. We played games and sat around the fire pit talking...it was such a fun, low key night! I love nights like that. :o)
Then on Monday we spend the day on another one of our friend's boat. Our friend's parents live on a lake around here, so we all hung out on her boat for the day and then went out to dinner afterward. It was another great day, with perfect weather again!
Overall, it was an awesome weekend (minus Friday night, of course!), and I wish every weekend could be that fun and relaxing at the same time. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures on any other day....hopefully next time! I'm sure there will be many more fun weekends like that this summer. I can't wait!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Only 3 more days until Friday! ;o)

It's like, Africa hot here today
Um, seriously? This is what my car said when I went out after work today. (Oh, and please ignore the dust all over my dashboard...my car needs to be cleaned like, yesterday!)
Madness!! At the end of last week I was cold and wearing my North Face every day still. I swear, New England weather is craaaaazy!
Oh yeah, and it's about 39423 degrees inside the house right now. The air conditioner is definitely ON....whew!
I hope everyone else isn't melting into a big pile of sweat right now. (lovely, huh? :P ) Stay cool, if you are!

Weekend wrap-up, and goodbye to LOST
Happy Tuesday, ladies! Sorry I didn't get a chance to do my weekend update yesterday, but, I decided to be a cleaning machine for about 3 hours when I got home from work yesterday, and by the time I was done I was pooped!! But, at least the dishes are done and all most of our clothes are clean! ;o)
Anywho, on Friday I had a girls night with some friends of mine. A bunch of us went out to dinner and then to the bar afterward. It was so much fun! The weather was great, too, so we went to one of the outside bars downtown here. I love going out during the summer and having drinks outside. It's so much better then being all bundled up and cold inside!
On Saturday I ended up sleeping in later then I should have. (Apparently I had too much fun on Friday night, especially since I thought it was a good idea to go to Wendy's at 2am. Ooops! Haha! But, it was deeeelish!) So, Saturday afternoon I just lounged around for a bit, had lunch at Olive Garden (Mmm, my fav!), and then went to Home Depot and Lowe's to get some shrubs and flowers for our yard. And I have to say, I think it was one of the first times I actually enjoyed going to those two stores! lol I'm usually SO bored walking around there with Hubs, I just want to poke my eyes out! But, this time I got to pick out all the pretty flowers and had the final say in everything. I'm so excited that our house is finally starting to look like a home! I mean, it's only been 4 1/2 years since we moved in...it's about time, right?! Doesn't our front yard look purty?!
I mean, we obviously have to actually plant the shrubs in the ground, and buy the brick and mulch to go around it, but at least it's a start! Yay! :o)
On Saturday night Hubs and I went out for dinner/drinks for one of my good friend's birthday. It was actually one of my 'wedding friend's' (and, just to clarify, my wedding friends are all my really good friends now...it's just easier to explain when each group of friends has name; wedding friends, work friends, blog friends. :oP ) birthday and a whole group of us, along with our hubbies/SO's, went out together. It was actually one of the first times that all the boys came out and met! Us girls have get-togethers and meet up all the time, but never with the guys. We all had a blast!! The food was SO good, and we went to a bar/lounge place afterward that was a lot of fun! I hope to go back there with the girls again sometime soon. :o)
Here's me and my ladies:
On Sunday, Hubs and his brother went to the new amateur jai-alai place that just opened up around here. They used to play in high school/college all the time, so they're pretty psyched that they get to play again. While they were gone, my SIL and I went for a long walk at the boardwalk/beach down the street from our houses...we only live a mile away from each other. It was the perfect day for a walk, and I definitely think we're going to do it more often! :o)
After everyone got home, we all went back to James' bro's house to watch the first part of LOST. I swear, if I had a dollar for all the times that I got teary-eyed watching the recap episode, and listening to all the actors tell their stories from six years of working on the show. Ohhhh man. Oh, and those little notes that they kept showing that the fans had written in...I was a mess! Haha!
I'm still not sure how I feel about the final episode, though. Of course they had to leave us kind of hanging, and with questions (as usual!) Are they all dead? Where they dead the whole time? Were they in purgatory? You couldn't of just wrapped it up nicely and given us a definitive answer to as why they were on that stupid island the whole time, could ya writers?! So, from what I've heard and read online, they all died at some point, and the whole 'sideways' life that was going on this whole season was just a way to get everyone back together to say goodbye? And the quote Jack said in the very first episode, 'live together or die alone', played a big part....that they all came back to live together in the after-life, since that was their happiest time together. Or something like that...
Anyways...I thought it was good, not great, but good. I'm definitely going to miss the show, and the characters (especially Jack and Sawyer! :::swoon::: ), but I'm glad I won't have to ask 3903842 questions after each episode, trying to figure out what the H just happened.
Speaking of shows I missed....did you ladies watch The Bachelorette last night?! I haven't watched it yet, but, I DRV'd it, and I can't wait to see what happened! It looks like it's going to be a good season, and even though Ali kind of annoyed me last season (I mean, seriously, how drawn out was her whole 'situation' and having to leave, and wah, wah, waaaah), I think it's going to be full of DRAMA...which I love, of course!
Alrighty then, I think I've rambled on enough. I hope you all are having a great week, so far!
