Bad wife!

Brad and I have been trying to save money lately. We got into a habit of charging things to our credit cards and we both really want to get them paid off. So we haven't been eating out as much (which is VERY hard for me because (a) I don't cook and (b) I grew up eating out almost every meal so that's just what I'm used to!) But I fell off the bandwagon today... I felt like I deserved a reward since I was so down Friday after I found out the Clomid didn't work this cycle. Friday I didn't even want to read one of my pregnancy/ttc books OR watch A Baby Story. I didn't want to even think about babies. So today I decided that I needed to get something (or somethings as it turned out to be) to remind myself to look forward and keep my eyes on the prize! So I bought this: (Not this exact one, mine's more damask-y. And it can be for a boy OR a girl!)




And this. I loved Tori's last book, so I'm sure I'll like this one, too.



And this. With all the hype surrounding Jon and Kate, I couldn't help myself. Plus I love hearing about how different woman with infertility were actually able to conceive.



I bought both the books at Barnes and Noble and while I was there I really wanted to find a good book on infertility. And I could. not. find. ONE. There were books on pregnancy, getting pregnant, even adoption, but no infertility? Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. I joked to my sister that maybe we should have been looking in the disease section instead of the family section. :o)

And speaking of disease, I've been thinking a lot about my low thyroid level. I thought people with hypothyroidism were supposed to be really fat? I'm not pencil thin, but I'm definitely not fat! So I asked my Dad, health freak-religious protein shake drinker-135 pound-Dad, what was up. He said that hypothyroidism runs in our side of the family (noooow he tells me) and that the reason I'm not fat is because of my high metabolism. My next question was, "So in 10 years I'm going to be as big as a cow?!?" "Probably." Well isn't that freakin great. So I am going to try really hard to be more health conscious....that is, after I eat supper tonight at Brooke's. She's cooking me mini cheeseburgers and taco fries! YUM!
