Pinning Things

I woke up at 4:14am today.  FOUR FOURTEEN.  I tossed and turned and finally called it at 4:55. Here I sit, drinking coffee, my eyes blurry (because I REALLY AM TIRED!), and mindlessly cruise the interwebs.

And I Pinterest.  That's a verb now, right?

What kinds of things peak my interest these days?  I'll share a few that aren't locked up in my secret boards.  Yes, I have secret boards, because honestly... we all have things we want to remember, but don't want other people to know.  Or steal pin and use for their own ideas later.

Funny, because I bet most of my students wouldn't get the hilarity of this "quote."

Lawd, do I lurrrrrrve a pretty stud earring.  I recently repierced my second(earlobe) hole, and I'm digging the oversized double stud look.

Haha.  Hahahahahahaa.  Funny story.  I bought cauliflower to try this exact pin.  It seemed easy enough.  And I figured, if it was good, it would be an easy way to eat a veg.  Maybe Reid would even eat it (he's not a huge fan of veggies).  I even bought PURPLE cauliflower.  

And it was gross.

Adam and I choked down half the bowl, just to pretend like it wasn't bad.  It smelled like dirty feet (or like cooked cauliflower, so same thing) and it wasn't rice-like in the least.  Reid didn't like it either.  A classic Pinterest fail.  

I love setting up my classroom in August.  I cannot begin to plan anything academic until my room is picture perfect.  For the last two years, I have been limited in my time to set up my classroom, so it's been a little less decorated.  It's still picture perfect, but it's not AS cutesy as it could be.  This year I've [yes, already] begun to jot down ideas for decorating my classroom.  I'd like to spruce up a few things, change a couple old favorites, and give my classroom a bit of a facelift.  It's June, so come August, I may scrap all that and go with the usual set up.  

I want them all.  Please, gift buyers, take note.  And my "fashion likeys" board is not private, FYI.  ;)

Do you Pinterest?  What have you been pinning lately?

Quick and Personal Update

As I've mentioned in previous posts, we have been trying for baby #2 for a while now.  I was under the (clearly false) assumption that since my body had been pregnant once before, it would happen more quickly (and easily) the second time around.




Nope.

We headed back to our Reproductive Endo at the beginning of this month, and luckily he was on board to start with what worked for us last time.  No months and months of fertility drugs, testing and trying out different concoctions and amounts.  We started off, on the day of our consultation, beginning meds, blood work, an SHG (similar to the HSG I had a couple years ago) and planning an IUI for the next week.

I'm now in the last days of the two week wait.  The horrible, crazy-making, roller-coaster TWW.  I'm 11 days past IUI and so far, nothing to be seen on a pregnancy test.  So basically, unless a miracle happens (like a late implantation), we'll be looking at starting over in the next cycle.

Boo.  Hiss.
