I'm sorry for forgetting last week! Unfortunately there isn't much to report. Measurements and weight has stayed pretty much the same. We've been so busy, and I hurt my wrist rollerblading, so I've been slacking in the activity department. I did a lot of walking/hiking when we were camping. Good thing too because I ate horribly. Not to mention the tasty adult beverage I partook in.
Anywho. I am definitely getting back on track. I will hopefully have more to report in the coming weeks. Feel free to drop by and give me a swift kick in the ass. I need it!

Friday.
Dear precious sweet Friday!
It's been a long week. A long couple of weeks for that matter. I apologize in advance for not bringing anything witty or exciting recently. I think I need a good solid 24 hours of sleep and I can get back in the game.
TGIF!

FF Wisdom
After adding my temp this morning, FF felt it necessary to share this little knowledge-bomb.
Why are my temperatures fluctuating so much?
When temperatures fluctuate a great deal, it is usually due to inconsistencies in temperature taking methods. Make sure you are taking your temperature at the same time every day, when you first wake up, after a solid block of sleep, and with a BBT thermometer. If you are doing all this and are still getting rocky temperatures, you can try taking your temperature vaginally. Some women notice more stable temperatures when taking their temperature vaginally.
Temperatures can also fluctuate a great deal when you are not ovulating, or when you have delayed ovulation. If you are taking your temperatures accurately and are still having large temperature fluctuations and no clear ovulation pattern, then this might be the case.
1) I have no earthly desire to stick my therm up my vag.
2) I suspected all along I am not ovulating. This may be my evidence.
3) I'm buying a new thermometer next cycle to be sure.
Oh, and I've got to go back to the dentist today for a filling. Oh the joys of my life.
TGI... damn it's only Thursday.

Beautiful Evening
It has been a BEAUTIFUL week. Warm, sunny and I can't get enough. Today was about 90! (definitely not common in the NW in June!)
J came home after visiting his dad (who just got home from having surgery) and he was riding his dad's Harley. J does have his own bike. A bike that he, on most days and especially if the weather if favorable, I'm certain he loves more than me. But, he felt like giving the Harley a spin.
After I finished washing my car, he took me for a ride! We drove around the lake and ate at one of our favorite restaurants in our little lake town. We sat out on the patio and ate a couple of delicious salads. We chatted about our days and basked in the evening sun.
After a long mostly-crappy day at work, it was just what the doctor ordered.
I am definitely ready for summer!

Feeling Blah.
Yesterday and today I have just been blah, for lack of a better descriptive word.
Last week was crazy busy and this weekend I didn't get to catch up on my sleep (Did I fail to mention that R and I had a garage sale??). I think it is all finally catching up to me. Yesterday morning I had these lofty plans to come home, make my husband a nice dinner just because I felt like it, get some chores done, and get to bed early. I accomplished none of that. I sat around, watched tv, couldn't take a nap to save my life. It was almost 8:00 and I still didn't have dinner. J ended up making something quick for us.
Today is no better. I'm having trouble getting motivated, my employees are bugging the crap out of me, and I just want a nap.
I need to snap out of it!

Negative.
Of course it was, but at least now I know for sure. I was going to wait for the morning, but I'm impatient.
Torturing myself - again.
Apparently I have a closet fetish for self torture that I never knew about until the TTC process.
In talking to a dear friend, this dawned on me late last night... It is possible that our previous months have been unsuccessful because I am one of those that O later than most. This I would not have known because I didn't chart before this month. So, it is entirely possible (although I do understand it is unlikely) that what I thought was a practically non-existant period last month, was actually implantation spotting.
Following me? Excellent.
This would mean the test I took immediately following said 'period' (to prove to DH that I wasn't infact KTFU) would of course have been negative because I had just been 'fertilized'.
So, since I am on approx. day 25 of this new cycle I think I will purchase tests this week just to be prepared. But now, because of the aforementioned self-torture I am so fond of, I'm wondering if I should take a test sooner. You know, just for shits and giggles? I am a pretty big fan of peeing on stuff...
PS. WHY oh WHY do otherwise perfectly sane women do this kind of shit to ourselves?! I think I need to be commited.
