A Class Act... Really


On Friday night we went to dinner to meet this girl we're supposed to be going to Vegas with.  We met up with a few of Hubs friends (Travis, Brandon and Paulo) and the girl (Jamie, Travis' friend).  I'm going to be blunt; I don't like her.

Some real highlights of the evening:
  • She made no attempt to even talk to me.  I didn't try that hard either because we honestly didn't seem to have anything in common.
  • She mentioned doing drugs a number of times.
    • Example 1: Doing shrooms at Disneyland. Classy!
    • Example 2: Doing acid during the Zumanity Cirque du Soleil show.
  • She had a ring on her finger, but never mentioned a husband.
  • She had two names tattooed on her foot; Ella and Evan. But she never mentioned any kids.
  • She talked about going to a jacuzzi party (aka "sausage fest") that same evening.  Again, not mentioning her husband.
Hubs texted messaged his friend, Travis, the next day trying to get some information out him about this girl.  I want to know more about her especially if I'm going to have to spend any time with her in Vegas.  Turns out she IS married.  Why no mention of her husband ever is beond me.  And her husband is not going along with us to Vegas. I stumbled upon her Facebook the other night (and I really did stumble, I didn't even want to look for her).  But once I did find it I did have to do a little bit of stalking.   Turns out she DOES have kids.  Two like I though; Ella and Evan.

I just find it really odd that during the course of a few hours she failed to mention her husband and children all while flirting with Hubs friend.  That's real classy.  I'm not going to let her ruin my vacation though.  Hubs already knows how I feel about her so we probably won't be spending much time with her.  At least I hope so.  I'm just glad that we aren't driving together anymore.

I know I may be jumping to conclusions, but I always trust my gut and if I don't like her, then I don't like her. That's that.  Maybe she'll change my mind while we're there, but that's doubtful.

Entering Into My 2ww

According to a couple of the fertility calculators that I use I'm officially on my two week wait (2ww).  Sadly, I don't officially know when (or if) I ovulate.  We're still going to BD (baby dance) to be safe; just in case I ovulate later than the calendars suggest.

I don't really feel like we did everything we could this time around.  So I'm going to try to not get my hopes up.  More than anything I want this month to be the month, but if not we can always try again.


To help me with the small problem of not knowing when I ovulate I really want to buy the OveCue Fertility Monitor.  I'm still working on convincing Hubs and trying to get the funds.  Which is one of the reasons why I'm selling a bunch of my books.  Don't forget to check out my Amazon store, From Me To You!

Do any of you use OvaCue or have another fertility monitor that you use?  Tell me about it.  Where are you in your cycle?
