My therapy

As I was feeling quite sorry for myself yesterday I took the afternoon off. I did a ton of stuff around the house. I cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. My mom would be so proud. Apparently, cleaning is my new therapy as I feel a lot better.

This really F'in sucks

Another negative pregnancy test. I'm done. I am SO DONE! Apparently, the only way we are going to have kids is with MAJOR intervention and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

Time to turn out the lights, pull the covers over my head and have several hours of self-pity. Oh wait, no I can't do that because I have to be at work.

Bitter much?

Progesterone levels

At 3DPO my levels were 10.8. Typically this test is done at 7DPO so I still had 4 days to get to 15. I'm hoping this happened. We'll know soon enough.

Spring Cleaning-outdoors

Even though the inside of our home is a never ending project, with the warm weather we absolutely need to work on the exterior. Jason and I have been outside frequently discussing what to do with our front flower bed and we pretty much came up with a plan. As Sunday was a a beautiful day outside we headed to Lowes to pick up a few supplies to get started.



The early thaw we had last year, followed by the late frost, followed by a summer drought killed several shrubs and trees in our yard. We need to replant and possibly chop down the dead trees, one being a dogwood.

We picked up 20 bags of black mulch at Lowes along with a pair of gardening gloves for moi, a new garden hose nozzle and a fancy schmancy hose holder. We had to make a 2nd trip to Lowes for an additional 15 bags of mulch about an hour later.



Our front beds looked like this. By the time I took these photos we had already ripped out a few dead shrubs.






After new mulch was laid.



Over the next few weekends we will add in some color with new flowers, shrubs, and flowering shrubs. We also plan to extend the flower bed to the side of the house so we need to till the earth in that area this coming weekend(if the weather cooperates). I love the transformation thus far.

Improvement to the self check-out

Last night as we were checking out at Wal-Mart, J and I decided we would much prefer the automated voice at the self-checkout if it was Cartman of South Park. For instance, when the machine gets finicky and even though you've placed the item in the bag and it tells you that you have not, we think it would be awesome if the self-check-out said something to the effect of, "I'm being a dildo." LOL.

Then perhaps after you have completed your check-out the machine would say something like, "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

I would find this hysterical but then I'm weird and mostly immature. ;)

In other news I have a nice bruise from my bloodwork this morning. I also had to wait for about 30 minutes...again...because the receptionist forgot to call back to the lab to notify them of my arrival. Grrrr. This is the 2nd, 3rd time this has happened when all I need is bloodwork at the doctor's office.

Wanted results: Progesterone levels at 15 or above.
