Baby Making

I added my Fertility Friend ticker above to help keep track of my baby making status. Unfortunately today is day 57 which means I didn't ovulate again this cycle. :( While the birth control pills clearly did their job well the past 10 years, they are sure making things difficult now. My hormones must be all out of whack. Luckily, the post bcp breakouts have subsided and my skin is returning to its former beauty (well, somewhat). I guess this will mark the end of cycle # 3 ... three cycles so far in 2010, wow.  At least my 60 days are almost up and I can start over again. :)

My work is having a team-building picnic in a few weeks and I have been feverishly trying to find a good cookie recipe for the cookie bake off. I have already tried smores, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate crinkle cookies. They all came out good, but not quite what I wanted. So the project for this weekend is to test out chocolate/peanut butter chip cookies with smore topping and chocolate chip toffee cookies. Mmmm....

So September is here. The fall is so beautiful and I'm actually looking forward to the end of summer. It has been such a nice summer but I feel like I wasted it. I'm so ready to get my own house and get out of apartment living. I have lived in apartments for sooooo many years and it was fun when I was younger and had roommates and didn't really spend much time at home. Now though it's work, home, work, home, work, home..... weekend... start over. Our apartment is nice and isn't really THAT small, but we have little outdoor space and the community pool is always overrun with people who don't even live in our complex. Bleh. I want my own yard to plant flowers and grow stuff and just sit and enjoy being outside! Hopefully by next summer...
