Update

I feel like it's been forever! Actually, it's only been two days (well, three since technically I posted very early Tuesday morning) and I've really had nothing interesting to say. Not that I do have interesting things to say now, but I was just getting sick of seeing my last post up there.

Here's what we've been up to:

• I just returned minutes ago from ordering our Christmas cards at a copy place. I visited said copy place three times tonight in the pouring rain. I made multiple versions of said Christmas card - MULTIPLE versions - and finally - FINALLY - I asked enough questions, and the right questions apparently, in order to get what I wanted - two 5 x 7 prints to a page on glossy card stock, thank you very much. What I wouldn't give to have the printer my parents are getting us for Christmas right now.

• I want to share with you our Christmas card, but have decided to wait due to not wanting to spoil the surprise for those of you whom I know in real life and who are on our Christmas card list. Wait, that came out wrong - there is no surprise, per say. It's just that there is no point in mailing you one if you see it here first. You will have to wait. 
  

• I am on day 11 of this cycle and so far have had very little mucus. I had some on day seven, but it was only once and it was very cloudy (although still a 10...I rarely have mucus that isn't a 10) and then once today (10c). That being said, when I was having tons of mucus I wasn't getting pregnant, so I guess this could be a good thing. Not that small quantities of mucus are good necessarily, but change is good, therefore this could be good. There are always things you can do for mucus - not that I'm doing them yet, but I rest assured I can do them if I choose - and so if that ends up being my only problem now, then that would be great.

• I cannot believe there is only one week left until we head home to New York for Christmas. This month has just flown by. We haven't seen one of my sisters in an entire year. That seems crazy to me, since my family is really close and has never lived far from each other until a year and a half ago. I have a lot to do before then (including mailing Christmas cards), but I have finished most of my shopping so that is a big weight off my shoulders. Now I just have to sew three aprons before we leave and put together a home-made cookbook for my sister (back to Kin.kos I go). 

• Speaking of next week, we are going on a tour of the White House this coming Thursday morning that we're excited for. We're heading up there Wednesday night with a couple friends and staying over (in an actual hotel! I LOVE hotels!) because our tour is early the next morning. We've been on the White House tour before, but never at Christmas-time and we can't wait. And I'm glad to get in there one more time before it changes hands!

• I made more soup today and I can't wait to have some for dinner. 

• I've been having headaches almost every night this week, which is not normal for me. I haven't been taking anything for them because a) I still wonder if LUFs and ad.vil are related, despite my doctor telling me to take it if I need it and not worry about that, and b) sometimes I like to feel the pain so that I can chart that I had it and how bad it was. Is that weird? I do that with cramps mainly, but I find myself doing it with headaches too. I find it a little weird.

• Okay this is totally random, but we have a new obsession here in our household. Three words - Summer Heights High. Have you seen it on HBO? Oh my gosh. It is not for those of you who dislike swearing, that is for sure, but it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It's an Australian show that was on there last year and now HBO is playing the episodes, like it did last year with Extras. It's a mockumentary and follows three individuals at a high school. We are seriously obsessed and walk around singing the songs ("Welcome to Mr. G's room, G's room, G's room..."). There are only eight episodes, so I get sad every time one ends! It is not for the faint of heart, I will warn you, but we find it hysterical.

Well that's it for now. Hopefully my life will get more exciting in the coming days and I'll have more to post about. A visit from a fellow blogger, perhaps? There may be something being planned and it would involve lots of doggy pictures being posted here!
