OMG I need distracting

[Natsby]

I am driving myself nuts, tearful, depressed a real misery to be around today. Come and talk to me about something other than TTC please. What have you all been up to today? Do you have the next two days off, (we do here in Spain.) Anything to stop me from thinking about myself for a bit.

So sorry you are feeling down. I've finished up my stuff for the day (except the ironing ) and am sitting here with wet hair waiting for my husband's aunt and uncle to come over. Have you seen this little online game?

and this article cracked me up (I live in Greece so we needed the laugh!)

Hi Natsby,
I have been staying away from the boards for a while for the same reason, driving myself crazy and can't take much more! And just got my 27th BFN....so yeah. To change the subject..no days off for me, but with Halloween tomorrow at least there are many treat sized chocolates around! Plus I am loving season 2 of the walking dead so that's something to look forward to tonight! Since you have a couple days of maybe some shopping therapy is in order

 

[Natsby]

Thanks ladies, Anna I love the quote about what harm could it do? what do they say about Greeks bearing gifts? I love David Sadaris and he is in the same book.
I´ll check out the game in a min too, thanks.
Jenifer, I can´t go shopping sadly, when they have a holiday here they take it seriously, everything will be closed for two days...although my plan for tomorrow is to go into France and pig out at the patisserie. I´m sorry you got another BFN. I am on 21 if we look at it like that.....oh no that does me no good at all, lets not.
Yes Haloween chocolate is a good idea, I might go and bake something now, hadn´t thought of that. I have found it hard to motivate myself to do anything today yet somehow the thought of cakes is helping!

sorry u r having a crappy day nat i don't know about you but lately i have higher than high days one minute and back on my ass the next. hubby said to me the other week that it would be nice for me to find a balance to which i replied, yeah right, live with it bud!

anyway, this is my problem and what's been distracting me this evening and i'm feeling really weird...just seen adam lambert on the t.v. singing again and i'm oddly attracted to him!!! what is wrong with me?!? he's totally gay, full of makeup and i'm just mesmerized...hahaha. just spent half an hr googling him.

then it dawned on me - i used to be obsessed with prince too when i was younger, adam ant and in more recent years the lead singer from the killers. what have they all got in common? = makeup!

i like men with makeup don't think hubby would be up for a bit of mascara though.

nat what do you think? it is normal? is adam lambert really good looking or do i need therapy?

 

[Jennifer01]

eBay girlfriend!!!

 

[Jennifer01]

Ohhhhhh sumat, I have ALwAYS loved prince!!! Purple rain?!? I die!!

 

[sumatwsimit]

i think prince was my first real crush

 

[Natsby]

Ok I googled adam lambert and no he doesn´t do it for me, btu Russel Brand totally does as does Noel Feilding and they both wear makeup. SO yes I think you may have something. My ex looked a lot like Prince and he was super sexy!! I saw the Sign of the Times tour and until I saw him live I didn´t get it but that man is just sex personified live!!
Yes I know what you mean I´m up and down a lot during the month but then around CD12 to 14 I´m just down.

 

[sumatwsimit]

just googled noel fielding...actually he looks a bit like russell brand. nats, you can keep those two pleased to hear i'm not the only one who finds pint sized prince sexy. i think it is the makeup... just need to convince my dh to slap on a bit of slap now when ov time comes around i'm already really jealous of his eyelashes without mascara, god only knows what they'd look like with

i'm frustrated right now coz i've got doctors orders to take this month out, which does suck but part of me thinks it will do me some good too.

you take care, enjoy your trip to france and keep smiling

 

[Natsby]

Oh a month off, poor you it is so hard to get off the merry-go-round that is ttc. Still maybe it is a good idea once in a while. I hope you get the green light again soon. I will enjoy France, it is only a 30 min drive but is very different from Spain.

My day has been spent in A&E with DD!! She decided to dislocate her kneecap last night at a Halloween party - called for me to come pick her up at 1:30am and I took her to the GP this morning - GP suggested A&E straight away, so off we went!!

Anyways... she is fine and has some crutches. Told to rest off school tomorrow and go back to the GP for onward referral to a specialist.

I didn't know that kneecap dislocation happens more to women than men??!

Totally distracted day!!

[Natsby]

[Natsby]

Sorry to hear your DD is in the wars, poor thing! Hope she gets better soon!

Natsby do you speak Spanish?

Natsby do you speak Spanish?

Si and French, (ok I´m showing off now) I have lived here for nearly eight years now so my Spanish is pretty good. My OH is French and my French is pretty bad considering.

You're killing me! I saw Adam Ant in 1984 in Birmingham, Alabama! I LOVED him!

That was 27 years ago!!!

Nats did you say French patisserie? Oh I'm jealous!

this summer we spent two weeks driving through France and needless to say we both got fat from the good food.

The French countryside is beautiful, so quaint and the various regions are so diverse. Will you be going to the Pyrenees? I enjoyed Provence most.

I'm sure it will be the perfect way to lift the spirits, have fun
