Apology
- Dear Mike,
- I am SO sorry for being an absolute irate not nice person this past week. Clomid did not fare well for my emotional state and everything you did seemed to make it worse. I apologize for disagreeing with everything you said or did and making your life not very fun this past week. The good news is that hopefully our 4th IUI will work this week and I won't have to go on that again...or until we are ready for another baby! ;) Love you...
- For your readers who don't know what I am talking about...This was the 1st time I was on Clomid; the fertility drug and seriously, it messed with me big time. I was very hormonal and emotional and agitated with everything! Mike got the worst of it.....oops! Hopefully our 4th IUI will work this week and we'll have some good news. Send good thoughts and prayers our way this week!!! Thanks!!

Friends
Krista and I have been friends for as long as I can remember...I think since Kindergarten. Anyway, we've hardly had a chance to see each other hang out since high school. She came to our wedding and my 25th birthday party, but we've both been so busy living our lives, that time has just passed. I am SO glad that we've finally gotten back in touch with each other and have caught each other up about what has been going on in our lives. Yesterday, we met in Warrenton to catch up, grab some lunch and reminisce. It was awesome! It has felt like no time has passed between us and that is the best kind of friendship...the kind where you feel connected no matter how much time has passed or what's been going on. I love that. Krista and I had a great time yesterday...we were loud and laughing and just enjoying our friendship. She is going to kill me for posting some of our pictures from WAY back in the day...but they are hilarious!! ha! It seems that in every picture, I am always on the right and Krista on the left! :)

Tech Support?!
- Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
- In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NASCAR 6.0, NFL 5.1 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
- Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
- Signed, Desperate.
DEAR DESPERATE,
- First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.HTML and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
- However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
- Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install M-I-L 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
- In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
- Sincerely, Tech Support

Beginning and End
End of Day: I met up with some great friends, whom I taught with, to catch up and hear how their summer is going. They are all going to be at different schools next year. :( We met at Heidelberg which has a great happy hour and 1/2 price appetizers. It is SO great to have amazing friends!

Tuesday Thoughts
- Why does it always have to rain when Mike is supposed to mow the lawn??? Hmmm... It's been thundering and pouring rain all night. It's the kind of low rumble thunder with occasional crackling and every time we have a huge storm our backyard has a river running through it. This of course, gets Jack soaked and muddy....not very fun to clean.
- Why didn't I think of doing this earlier? I seriously love making these diaper cakes....I have another baby shower to go to in August for a friend and thought I'd make another cake!Don't you just want to eat it up! :)

Re-arrangin'
I am so excited!!! I talked Mike into rearranging our living room yesterday and it looks so much better! We moved the 9 shelf bookshelf downstairs (I'll get pics once it's finished) and moved the armoire tv stand to the other wall. We switched the couches/chair around and I'm so impressed! The hard part was getting the tv cable drilled through the floor to connect it downstairs...after some maneuvering, we got it hooked up. Our new purchase (from the stimilus check) was the console table. This is on the wall where the tv was...it's not totally done yet with decorations, but you get the idea.
