I think my new outlook is helping. The weekend was quite nice actually!
Amber (my IRL friend who reads this blog) and I met up and walked almost 3 miles on Friday evening. To say the least, neither of us is a power-walker, but I did get my heart going a little! --Poss. trigs ahead-- Afterwards, hubs and I went to their place for bbq and ended up playing Wii with she, her DH and their two older boys (7 and 11). Their kids are so funny, and really friendly and outgoing. Both of them LOVED hubs and even asked if we'd come back again. So cute! :)
Saturday morning I slept. I was really paranoid the night before because I had to start using my new BV cream (Clindamycin). I don't do well with creams up there - BAD reactions to the YI creams. So I took a Xanax and one of hubs' sleeping pills and I was out like a light until 11 a.m. Thank goodness I had no bad reaction to the cream, whew! Just 4 more days of it to go now. Sat. evening, SIL, Amber (also a budding photographer) and I had a little photo shoot for SIL's new line of clothes for her Etsy shop. I hear the photos came out really well, so I can't wait to see them! SIL says it's helped her sales using me as a model (and I use that term VERY loosely). She usually uses her sisters, but I guess I'm more willing to do what SIL wants, plus I let her make me up however she wants (if you check out her shop you'll see what I mean, it gets a little crazy). It's fun for me, and I am happy to help her out.
Sunday was an interesting day! Between breakfast with a friend, shopping for Dodgers baseball caps (gotta represent when we see the game in Phoenix next month!), and hitting some balls - poorly - at the driving range, we had a little bidding war going on with the Scion! I had parked it out on this street that's lined with other cars for sale by owner on Saturday, and we started getting calls on Sunday (should have done this weeks ago!). We ended up agreeing on a price $1000 below what we're asking, but if it all works out it will be gone today! Hubs found the nicest TLS online we've seen yet, so the car shopping could be over with in just a few days. I know, it seems like we've been doing this forever, but we just haven't been in a hurry and wanted to get ourselves the best deal we could.
All in all, a really nice weekend. Then this morning I went and tweaked my neck! OWIE! But on the bright side, I managed to get an appointment with the chiro right after work today.
Hope the week flies by for everyone :)

We take the bad with the good, right?
Today is kind of an off day. There was weird traffic on my way to work and I got here late. Then realized I left my work keys at home. Ugh. Luckily the front desk receptionist keeps duplicate desk keys, so at least I can get into my cabinets. I can't access certain online programs or open the vault, but what can ya do.
I managed to get into the doc's office today, and it turns out I have another bout of BV. I decided she and YI are wicked step-sisters. Probably along with AF too. Or maybe AF is the evil step-mother. Or aunt. Whatever. Anyway, I have another RX for antibiotics, with the caveat that it's possible whatever's infesting my vajay is resistant to these meds, so we shall see how I feel next week. Seriously - all this stuff, YI's for months, followed by BV for months, is total deja vu to what I went through a few years ago. Not pleasant and very frustrating. But, I will take BV over YI any day of the week.
In happier news, hubs and I are going camping this weekend at the beach with his family. They've been camping all week, so we'll just get the tail end of the trip, but it should be nice and relaxing. AND, we've had 2 offers on the Scion already! I'm waiting to find out now if one of them will accept our (modest) counter-offer. Fingers crossed!
It's almost Friday, whew!

Weekend 'n stuff
Isn't it funny how we feel the need to count off the days of our lives? Mine seem to be measured in weeks, and of course, cycles! Even though we're TAB, I'm still keeping track of CD's only because I'm trying to figure out a way to prevent Yolanda from making another appearance. This month I'm going to try using RepHresh right after O. Maybe I can get my pH in balance enough to keep her OUT! Fingers, toes, legs, and eyes crossed!!
We had a nice, busy weekend. Saturday we test drove an Acura TLS, which both hubs and I really liked. It's not as pretty as the BMW, but can you say "bang for your buck"? Hopefully we'll be able to put my car up for sale this weekend, and we'll see how it does. Depending on what's available after the Scion sells, I think the TLS might be our new first choice. :)
Saturday night we went to my employee's wedding reception. She and her hubby got married last month in Florida, but the groom's family wanted to throw another party for their local friends and family. It was nice, very casual. And yesterday we went to a party for my cousin's graduation from the Marines Officer Candidate School. Man I remember when he was a little kid! It's crazy to think of him with a career in the military now. We topped off the weekend by going to see Harry Potter, and it was a total SNOOZE! I was literally falling asleep at the end.
Oh! We also found out some friends of ours just got engaged! She called me up and said she wants me to help her plan the wedding, which has got me thinking maybe I should try to do professional wedding planning after all. I really do love it, and I think I could do a good job. I'm a little scared because I don't know how to get started, but hubs says he'll file for our DBA/sole proprietorship this week, just so we have it, and I can kind of ease into it. It'll have to be a side thing for sure, which is another reason I'm hesitant to get started (I love my free time!!), but I keep going back to thinking I'd get a lot more enjoyment out of life if I was doing something I loved. So I guess I'll be doing a lot of researching and thinking on that now...

-If you read my other blog, you already know about hubs' and my adventure G8 shopping this weekend. But, I didn't mention what I thought about the car. To be honest, it was very nice, roomy, had very comfy seats, and was fun to drive.
But, I just didn't feel quite comfortable in it. As big as it was, it felt a little claustrophobic inside. I think that was because the frame/bar things on either side of the windshield contain airbags, which means they're really big. Having those things constantly in my periphery was really disconcerting whether I was driving or in the passenger seat. So the hunt continues!
Oh, but they did lower the price on the BMW hubs brought by my work last week. I may have played "bad cop" a little too well though, because they haven't called to tell us! Hehe, oops. Guess I need more practice.
-I'm afraid depression is sneaking its way back into my life, and it's getting harder and harder to fight. This time at least I feel like there's a source, whereas before I felt like I was going crazy because I had no "reason" to be depressed. That doesn't make me any happier, but it makes me feel stable enough that I know I don't want to go back on antidepressants at this point. There are a few different OTC/herbal antidepressants out there, so I think I may do some research.
-I lied yesterday about AF. Well, not "lied," I thought I stopped spotting on Sunday, but turns out I still am. It's still weird, Sunday it was sooooooo light and then it seemed to stop Monday morning but started again in the afternoon, and I still have it today. Today is CD7 which would normally be my spotty day, so hopefully it will be gone tomorrow. I have to say, darn you ladies for suggesting I test! Now I keep thinking, "Maybe..." I will wait until my hopes are back down so when I see that negative I won't fall apart. But I do agree that testing is the smart thing to do. I have absolutely no pg symptoms though, so don't get excited. It is for confirmation purposes only!
Okay off to do some work, some research, and maybe some road trip planning if I have time.

Stuff stuff stuff stuff
Thanks everyone for your comments on my previous post. They really clinched it for me that I need to ask my doctor seriously about endo. Who knows, maybe that's what's behind all my problems? Well, not ALL my problems, but the IF one anyway.
Also, I have to say this has got to be the weirdest period I've ever had. It's not nearly as heavy as usual, especially for the amount of pain I was in last night, but it seems like there's stuff in there that needs to get out! I'm not too worried about it, it's just weird.
Alrighty then, on to happier thoughts!
I don't think I have any solid plans for this weekend, and I am THOROUGHLY excited about that. The only thing I really want to do is light the fire pit tonight and make s'mores! (Yeah, pretty much once Yolanda returned I figured to hell with the low-sugar-low-starch diet.) We haven't used the pit since beer festivus and I do miss it so. It reminds me of camping, and that reminds me of being all relaxed on vacation. Ahhh...
Hubs has to work until 2:00 tomorrow, so I get to sleep in and then do housework. Joy! And on Sunday he wants to go to the park to bbq and play over-the-line with some friends. That could be fun actually.
Oh, we're expanding our car search, by the way. We're realizing that the BMWs we want are a bit more money than we'd like to spend, so we're looking at Acuras, Infinitis (which I think I actually like), and possibly a new Pontiac G8 (those things are fast!). We looked at an Acura last night, but it was just okay. I was totally unimpressed with the dealership and the sales guy - we couldn't even take it on a test drive - so that kinda left a sour taste in my mouth! Maybe I'll get to drive an Infiniti this weekend. There's one I kind of have my eye on...
Happy friggin' Friday, everyone!!!
