I know! I don't want to type my last name out on here, but it's hilarious when you say them together!

Ok that is one I didn't think of! LOL

[demigraf]

Mandy... I hope you're feelin' fine tonight, lady.

[Gwenn]

I don't quite believe it yet. But I suspect I won't sleep well.

[AmeriBrit]

It's 10:16 in the morning here and I'm already stalking for a Mandy update!

[MashedUp]

I'm trying to write out my easter grocery list. I'm in charge of dessert and bloody marys, LOL.

Can't wait till you get your results!

[missychrissy]

I think this is going to be an anxious day for all of us Mandy. And it really sucks for us East coasters. I can't imagine how bad it must be for you Ash.

[daylilies]

I wonder if I can find some good strawberries at the store. I've been craving strawberry shortcake for a while and I need to bring something to the inlaws on Sunday.

[Bridget]

This is torture!!

I have to figure out how to make gluten free cupcakes. I have a great carrot cake recipe using almond flour. Does anyone know if I have to make ingredient changes to make them into cupcakes?

[AmeriBrit]

Bridget, how did the turkish delights turn out?

[raspberry]

So excited for you Mandy!!

I wouldn't think you would need to adjust anything for cupcakes.

I am craving carrot cake and strawberry shortcake mmm

[daylilies]

I swear I did not go looking for this--I use something called stumbleupon where you click the stumble button and it brings up pages you might be interested it-sometimes I think it spies on me :hmm:

It's a "full bottle wine glass"-a wine glass that holds a whole bottle of wine!

[missychrissy]

That's great!! "I swear I only had one glass!"

[Cosmosmom]

Midwest stalker up and waiting too.......

[Cosmosmom]

Kate my grocery store has bogo strawberries this week. Two packs for $3.99 so not bad. Not as good of course as local ones late June but we have had some pretty good ones recently. I think that I will probably pick up some tonight when I get the rest of our stuff for this weekend.

[Bridget]

Midwest stalker up and waiting too.......

Ditto!

[daylilies]

Cool Jennifer! I'm not feeling great today. I've been sick for almost two weeks now. If I feel better later on I might venture out to get some.
Okay...Mandy's only two hours behind east coast time, right? *taps foot impatiently*

[Cosmosmom]

No she's three behind you Kate. she's two hours behind Bridget and I. Though isn't AZ one that doesn't do daylight savings? So maybe that's not right?

[Ky'sMom]

I read about the excitement yesterday Mandy but didn't have time to post my stalking of you either. I was checking hoping for an update. I keep forgetting about the time difference. I am giddy for you!!!

And all that talk about wine is so...meh to me. I don't like wine. I tried to like it but don't get the appeal. It is nasty to me and makes me hot. I drink it a couple times a year though to be sure I still don't like it since I always think I must be missing out on something wonderful and that I just have not tasted the right one. I have had many of the cheapers ones that you ladies mentioned and I didn't like any of them, plus they all taste the same to me, except pinot, which I especially didn't like and which made me salivate like crazy.

Oddly enough, I like hard liquor - tequila, whiskey, brandy, vodka, etc. I can drink them with no issue and I enjoy the interesting way they taste but not wine.

Now that I think about it though, I had some good homemade wine when I was a kid. My great grandfather made wine in the basement and I snuck down there one day and drank some, thinking it was Welch's grape juice. He put it in a Welch's bottle and I drank some out of the bottle and told my grandma how good the grape juice was in the basement. She really chewed out my grandpa for that and after that he put his wine in mason jars LOL. He was so country and funny.

[Inca]

I'm also stalking for an update. But with that picture, I'm sure it's going to be good news.

And see, when I was a teenager (lol) I used to like hard liquor but now I can't stand it. Maybe it wasn't so much the taste that I liked, rather I think it was just because I was young and wanted to get drunk. Now, I don't even want to get drunk. In fact, I have only ever been to a bar once since turning 21. I'll be 25 this year. Oh and when I went I was pregnant so no drinking for me anyways. LOL I like the taste of wine, and good imported beer. Everything domestic tastes like poop to me. Some craft beers are ok, but for the most part I'm picky with my alcohol anymore.

[Smplyme89]

I love my liquor.... Patron is my lover, but I tend to settle for Jose since it's cheaper

[Smplyme89]

Coming from the girl who hasn't had a drink in for.ever!! It's on my to-do list for the summer

omg that's funny!!!

I keep hoping for an update from Mandy. I swear I'm gonna cry. Either way.

[Gwenn]

Stupid doctor's office hasn't called yet. It's almost 9:00 here - we are the crazy state that doesn't do daylight savings. We're 3 hours behind the east coast in the summer and 2 hours in the winter.

Still no AF, though. I can't help but think AF would definitely be here - I know when I ovulated because I did the trigger shot so if AF is late, there must be a reason.

[Inca]

Ah and you didn't POAS?!??!?!??!?!?!?!

[Gwenn]

I only have one left ... don't want to have to buy more!

[missychrissy]

go buy a digital test in the meantime.

I'm sorry. I know I'm not helping.

[Cosmosmom]

Ah and you didn't POAS?!??!?!??!?!?!?!

This! Can you call them instead of them waiting for you????

I agree though that there is a reason AF isn't there yet. Plus I showed DH the pic and asked if he saw a line and he said he did.....and he never saw lines even on opks when I was doing them and had a line.

[Gwenn]

I keep going back and looking at that test. Mid day yesterday in the bright sun you couldn't miss the line. Last night you couldn't see it at all. So it's really making me

[Inca]

And I'm sure you've already peed this morning right? I say you should have poas'd. I have a feeling you wouldn't be disappointed.

[Gwenn]

I just can't handle the uncertainty! I want a number from my doctor's office. And I want it now!!!!!!!!!
