And we are off

Today is the day! Yippee. I am off in about 20 min and then I am headed home to pick up Batman and Kino and head out of town.

We had two snafus this morning. Upon waking this morning I realized that our house felt much too cold. MUCH. TOO. COLD. Not thinking much of it other than I wanted to get back in the warmth of my bed and snuggle with Batman, I jumped into a scalding hot shower, hoping it would scare away some of the chill. To no avail. I woke up Batman who sat up, teeth chattering and asked why it was so f*cking cold! Jeeze I felt like a popsicle! Batman gets up, checks the thermostat and lo and behold our house is a whopping 50 degrees! 50 degrees! Um... I don't know about you but that is FREEZING in my book. And much, much too cold for inside a house. So Batman throws on some clothes and heads out to the furnace (it's in the garage) only to find that our furnace is acting up again. I realize it's probably time to replace it (it's about 12 yrs old). This is the second time it has done this in a month! Thankfully he was able to get it working again and our house was soon back up to a normal temperature. We'll see how long it lasts though.

Second snafu- Kino WREAKS! Like POO! It's sick. I walked out to our family room (where he sleeps) this morning to wake him up to go potty and oh my heavens, I was blown away by the stench! I know he didn't do his business in the house because I looked all over. I have a hard time believing he farted so much last night that the house permanently smells. My theory is that he stepped in his own... ahem... business yesterday sometime and dragged it into the house. Which means I need to shampoo my carpets (febreeze and air fresheners do nothing. I tried already). Unfortunately, again, we leave today. And if it's on him still, I do NOT want my car wreaking the whole trip! That would be 8 hours of stink!! Batman thankfully (again) has come to the rescue and is giving him a bath as we speak (or more appropriately as I type?) to de-stenchify him. Hopefully he can get him mostly dry by the time I get home. Wet dog isn't really a pleasant smell either. (but it beats poo hands down so I will take what I can get)

Hopefully those will be the ONLY 2 issues we have on this trip!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

T-money- over and out!

Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Okay, I know all of you are singing the Annie song in your head! LOL

Yes, tomorrow Batman and I are headed to the fam's in Sea-town. I can't wait!! While I am completely packed Batman hasn't even started, which means he is stressed out, which means I am stressed out, which means there have been more than one little argument in our house! I told him last night to get started, but did he listen? Oh no! He's a man and thinks he knows better than his wife. Silly, silly man!

I'm pretty sure Kino thinks we are leaving him. He was very mopey last night while I was packing and didn't want to go outside at ALL this morning when we left for work. Little does he know that he gets to come this time :) He LOVES to go on car rides and he LOVES my family and their house and their dog! I know he will have just as good a time as we will!

I saw it! I saw it!!

And Twilight was oh so good!! It followed the book really well and I think I have officially fallen for Robert Pattinson. He still isn't my first choice for Edward, but I think he did a fantastic job! It was no Academy Award winner, and the author's cameo was kind of cheesy, but over all I thoroughly enjoyed it!

And I will SO be buying it when it comes out on DVD/ Blu Ray!

Tick tock... 5 days

When in Sea-town we will probably also be going here. Um... black tie pasta... HERE I COME!! (and why does it seem all my posts about Seattle are about food? Guess I must be hungry) I think I need to stop now.

Batman left for San Diego yesterday. A friend of his from college is turning 30 tomorrow so he went down to celebrate. This is the first of their "group" to turn 30 so I have a feeling there will be a bunch more trips like this. So far he is having a good time :)

I am left to my own devices this weekend. I will be doing a few VERY important things. A) TWILIGHT- seeing it Sunday at 1:45 with Megs and her mom B) DILLARDS- My MIL and I are going to some "special invitation" cosmetic and fragrance event tonight C)HOME- sitting on my butt all day Saturday (until the bball game) and watching the Harry Potter movies. Oh the ecstasy of having no obligations, no expectations. It will be lovely!

6 days left

In our travels to the PNW we will also be going here. This is one of my all time FAVORITE restaurants! Their lemon chicken is to DIE for (off the vegan diet)and their pizza with pepperoni and kalamata olives is miles above anyone else's!

Veganism is just going to have to take a back seat over this holiday! I fully intend to engorge myself on my mom's fantastic roast turkey with all the trimmings, have latte's with MILK, indulge on cheese, eat my fill of all the delicious offerings I can in the Seattle area! Oh yes, I will come home 10 lbs heavier, but my tummy will be ecstatically happy!

Countdown to Sea-town... 7 days and counting

I can't wait to go to Ikea! I don't really need anything from there, but it is one of my FAVORITE stores to visit while we are in town! Have you ever been there?

My bedding is from Ikea along with the lighting and a few other accessories. I found some really cute vases the last time I went that currently reside in my kitchen.

Take a tour of some of their dream kitchen ideas. I think my favorite is the last one, but I do rather like the 2nd to last one too!

Ahem...I'm back to my normal self

The weekend gave me time to calm down after my blowup on Friday. I was emotional, AF wasn't being very nice, and they didn't tell me what I wanted to hear- D*mn them!
I have gotten to the point now that I really am excited about this cycle. I just KNOW the clomid will work (BTW you were all right! LOL all I had to do was read the bottle to see that I was supposed to take 2 pills instead of just one- Batman had a good laugh about that). I am optimistic for a BFP too. I mean, how can you beat a story where you were conceived in your uncle's bed, right?

The weekend really was great! We had Batman's work Holiday Party on Saturday night which was a BLAST!! I don't think I have ever said that about a company party, but Batman really outdid himself (he planned the event). He hired these people to do the entertainment and had the hospital cater it (fantastic little snack BTW). The prizes were raffled off at the end (you got raffle tickets based on how much "money" you won) and I ended up winning a $100 gift card to BODO which is our downtown shopping district (Yes, even tiny little Boise has some decent shopping) I was so excited!!! It will probably all go to pay for Christmas present, but at least it won't come out of my pocket.
Sunday we went and saw the new Bond and all I can say is- Daniel Craig- OH YUM!! I could seriously rip his clothes off! And that accent- whoooeee mamma! I'm a sucker for the accent! I think he just became my new obsession.

Batman seems to be taking all this TTC stuff in stride. No more of the "relax" comments which is much appreciated and he has really been a saint (again) with all my mood swings- God bless that man! Now, if we don't get our BFP this month I just have to get him to make the SA appt at the VA. (He has already agreed to it, but reminding him he did so could take some convincing)
