Well, alright. I suppose it's technically day six as of now seeing as how it's 1:22a. For whatever reason, I'm not quite tired enough to sleep yet. Soon though, very soon. I was making my second batch of cranberry sauce (one regular, one jellied for mom) when I realized I hadn't blogged for today! Gasp.
Let's see! What went on today? Sebastian gets two reviews a year, one with a pay increase/performance review and another regular (no pay) performance review. They are moving him up and up as far and as fast as humanly possible. He is fantastic at his job. He's fantastic at everything he puts his mind to, actually. I do believe they are moving him up not only because of how great he's doing at work, but also as a business move. He'd never worked customer service in any respect before 2 years ago when he started this job. He's very overqualified for the position he started in. The economy has become quite a bit better as of late, and I think they've noticed. I think they want to lock him in at a comparable rate to the $30+ he was making an hour with kornrandolph. I think they know that if he were offered a job at even $20 or $25 an hour plus benefit package--he'd go for it hands down. So they have to do what they can to keep him there! Which, we're totally fine with. He enjoys his job, which is more than he could say about KR. Then again, it was the atmosphere at KR that was horrible, not the work. Ah well. Enough about that!
My day was pretty uneventful. Ate dinner again at work. BBQ chicken again. This time I just got a thigh and made a side salad and called it good. It was good!
So, remember how I was saying that implantation can be as early as 6 days and as late as 12? Well.. today (even though this post is for last nights blog) is the 6th day. The norm is 9 days, so I think I have a couple few left to go. I'm getting excited. And, I think I will test on Thanksgiving. I mean, I would be slightly disappointed if it were negative, but I can take it in stride. It isn't the end of the world. Besides, I'm thinkin' POSITIVE!! And, after all it is just our first cycle of TTC with fertility aid so we're obligated to have a smidge of patience. Right? Right!
Night, kiddos. I've just got to finish up the sugared pecans and hide them away from the hungry mouths that roam my house at all hours of the day and night. Human, canine and marsupials alike.

- I'm happily married to my best friend. As you can see in my 'interests' I'm an outdoorsy kind of girl. I'd rather go camping than stay at a fancy hotel. I love to fish but haven't been in years. I've found I love to blog, too. It's both an outlet for my own personal sanity, plus if it can help even one woman cope with their PCOS--I'm thrilled!

day 3 of TWW
PCOS friendly holiday dinners? No thanks!
We went shopping today for some Thanksgiving foodie items. I have decided I do not want to make an entire turkey this year. It's somewhat pointless for a couple reasons around here. (1) we never eat anywhere near half since we aren't big turkey-eaters, (2) it's more than likely just going to be the three of us. Sebastian, my mother and myself. We have no business eating an entire turkey! Besides, I'm way too into the sides when it comes to holiday meals. In fact, a couple few years ago we had a Thanksgiving dinner consisting of only sides, no meats! It was actually pretty awesome. A piece of turkey is nice, but that's about it. So we purchased a turkey breast today--it's the perfect size! Just under 3 pounds.
We grabbed the things that usually go quick like sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, foil and stuffing. Random yes, but.. I think I'll finish up the holiday shopping sometime this week. I hate scrambling for things or forgetting things when it comes to that. I was also toying with the idea of making homemade cranberry sauce. It can't be too terribly difficult. What, cranberries, water and sugar? Maybe an orange peel or slice boiled with it? But is it really worth it? How many of you have had homemade cranberry sauce and how was it? I usually make applesauce--now that is definitely worth making--but I'm thinking of doing the cran sauce for Turkey Day and saving the applesauce for the ham at Christmastime.
I don't know what it is this year. It seems like every other year I get very into the idea of holiday cooking. I love to cook and bake... very much! This year, Sebastian and I both are already feeling very festive. I can't wait for the holidays this year. How 'bout you?
