Loves and Food and Cramps

You know you're restless when you're watching the same horrible, 16 year old LMN movie that was on a couple of hours ago.

I'm 13 days past ovulation.  14, really.  But it's still my Sunday.

I envy the kitties.

They fall asleep in .7 seconds and always look so peaceful.

I haven't tested yet. 

And I don't know if I will.  I've been pretty crampy on and off since last night and it's hard not to feel like my period is on its way.  Though, I know cramps aren't always a bad sign. 

These last days make it near impossible to put it all out of my mind.

I could slap myself for the amount of times I turned on the tears today at the thought of a negative.

I watched this video again over the weekend.  It may seem like I'm torturing myself, but I'm glad I did.  In some weird way, it helps me keep positive. 

Sure, I cried.  Maybe bawled.  But, they were good, cleansing tears.

So, before I start blubbering on (and "googling" dumb questions that I already know the answer to)...

I will say good night with a bunch of photos

 of happy things and happy loves

from the past few days...

 

A wonderful lunch that lasted until early dinnertime with my mom and Jessica.

Jessica ordered the awesome special.

I ordered a pasta dish with 3,874 pounds of cheese.

And my mom kept it healthy (and a bit boring, if you ask us) with a buffalo chicken salad.

 

We always end up talking too loud (okay, maybe just me) and laughing at each others stories.

They totally look like true "ladies who lunch."

On our walk back, we found a cute spot to get snap happy. <3

After saying goodbye to Jessica, my mom and I headed to Jessica's.

(That sentence doesn't sound like it makes sense at all.)

It was a treat to see both Jessica's in one day.

The boys talked baseball and drank beer.

While my mom, Jessica, and I walked into town for a nighttime snack and lots of hilarious stories.

It was a fun and entertaining evening with these ladies <3

Saturday, we went to Jen and Sean's for a bbq.

Her sister, Jill, brought her unbelievably adorable, pretty little girl, Anabelle.

Aunt Jen and Belle

She had all of us smiling non-stop.

She was gettin' her groove on.

Before heading in to relax and escape from the ankle-biting mosquitoes,

we stuffed our faces with sugary goodness.

This makes any day better.

We met Vania and Chris for burritos.

And mini-golf.

goofy guys.

Steve won.  (I think it was the 4 containers of "Jump Up And Kiss Me" hot sauce.)

I lost. 

Vania had an idea and I was her model.  I wonder what the people behind us thought I was doing.

(Look! There's a cat on top of my head!)

Yep, the "Total Gym" infomercial just started. 

 That's my cue.

Upstairs and to bed.

I'll be back in the next few days with an update.

Thank you so very much for all the positivity and encouragement you've sent my way.
