Are you a Thread Killer? Let the Game Begin!

yeah, the bitter tends to come in phases. I was actually in a really good place for the last 3 years, but this past year has had a lot of downs, and I keep waiting for the ups. I'll get over it soon, but the last loss is still so fresh that I'm just not in a happy place. I'm really not fit for public right now.

thanks ladies. we've come to terms with the fact that we can't build our family without major medical intervention. All this time we thought the issue was getting me pregnant, but apparently I have even bigger issues staying pregnant. I'm kind of in a crappy mood after yesterday's 4 hr appointment discussing all this crap with my doctor and having 14 vials of blood drawn for testing...and then coming home and seeing 2 baby announcements and 7 pregnancy announcements on facebook.

I hate those freaky appointments. I swear I've had every icky test possible ran on me, their painful and unpleasant. Sorry you have everyone getting pregnant all around you, that makes it even harder. At least you're trying to do something about, you're seeing a doctor, who sounds like they are looking hard to figure things out. Hopefully you can get some results from all those tests that can help you get pregnant. It's such a hard thing to go through... I'm sorry you have to go through it. :(

Jen, I so feel your pain. I went for years and years trying so hard to get pregnant. Just when we had finally come to terms with the fact that it wasn't going to happen, I got pregnant and the rest is history. I know you hear those stories all the time, where the couple quits trying so hard and it happens. I just wish I could give you a big squeeze!!

I took the store CT. Now I'm deciding on whether to keep all my other CTs or step down from one or two of them. That's my next conundrum LOL.

Congrats, Kate! Is it legal for you to say who your new site CT is??????? Inquiring minds want to know!

And Jen, I'm with Andrea, wanna see some scrappiness a-la Disney!!

Andrea, I'm doin ok, except I was very very naughty with my giving up smoking . . after almost 2wks I caved on my bday, bought a pack of 20 and smoked the whole dang lot in one day . . *SIGH* . . then I felt sick so that was good.

So to penalise myself further, I have had to re-start my non-smoking count . . ahhh, sometimes I just suck LOL

I just realized I never replied to this! Hey Donna, I give you credit for being honest about it! What day are you on, now? Hang in there, sweetie!
 
Somehow I missed this, too. I'm bummed that you caved, but am glad that you have started over (and is it bad that I'm a little glad that it made you sick?? Hehehe. That makes me horrible, doesn't it??) YOU CAN DO IT!!

I suppose it's no big secret, since I'll have it in my siggie soon enough (when I get my PC back and can scrap a new siggie!!). The store CT I got is the The Digichick. w00t!

I'm in the same club... My hubby is a two-time cancer survivor so his seed is a little fried. The chances of us getting pregnant are like zero and EVERYONE around us is getting pregnant. We've only been trying seriously for a year though.

we're dealing with something similar, PM me if you want to chat more privately, I don't want to put all the details out there.
 
oh Jen and Marla, I am so sorry for what you're going through . . my sister found out a few years back (she was only about 22) that she would never be able to conceive naturally . . it is so unfair. I can only offer you hugs lovelies, and please know that I'm sending you lots of love and positive vibes xx :hugs:

Andrea and Kate - thanks :o I am so ashamed of myself for being so darn weak (and Kate you are MEGA evil ;) for enjoying my pain hehe). I am trying to figure out how to get a counter thing for my siggie like others I see around the forums, I have let myself down so many times I dont concentrate on days and lose count unless I really concentrate. I think it's because I just wish I was a year in instead of only a day, or a week or two.

And . . just gotta say . . CONGRATS KATE you legendary lil scrappin diva!!! What a buzz, being in demand!!! Good for you! :thumbup:
 
We need to have a big Thread Killer group hug. Hugs to my girlies. I feel for you ladies so much. And Donna, I know you can do it this time. YOU CAN. Yes, you can.
 
Jen, I will totally PM you later today if I get a slow lull at work.

And the rest of you ladies are too sweet. It's not really something I talk about in "real life" because it's such a private thing. It's good to have someone that knows what's going on.
 
Even though I'm SO SWAMPED at work, I have totally slacked off today :) Bad, bad Kate!

Got news on my PC. It IS the power supply (whew!), so I ordered what I need, but have to wait for it to be shipped :( :( :( So I doubt it'll be up by DSD. But I can at least participate in the forums and stuff, and even buy, but I can't scrap.

well at least it is something simple! do you have PS installed on your laptop? maybe you can do that and at least get some scrappy time in that way, take a few new pics and use them?
 
I do have PSE installed, but to be honest, it's not worth it to scrap, as long as my CT designers are ok with me taking a short break. With my PC, I have a HUGE screen (27 inch widescreen), and I seriously can't seem to scrap on my itty bitty laptop. It's like I can't shadow right, and it's just so tiny after always scrapping on such a big screen. And besides, I don't have any of my styles or anything installed on my laptop. So if I got desperate, I might try to scrap on my lappy, but I'd rather just wait, because I'm a spoiled brat ;)

if you are a brat, so am I! I have PS installed on my laptop too, but I never shadow on it or edit photos, lol. I save everything unshadowed and then shadow on my desktop because everything looks weird on the laptop. I do envy your screen, that is massive! I don't want to upgrade my screen though because I am incredibly lucky to have a nice widescreen monitor that is PERFECTLY calibrated.
 
I'm feeling a little less bitter and beastly today. I splurged at starbcuks and bought new hair dye and am just trying to feel better about myself.

I currently scrapp on my little macbook pro. ButI am totally planning on upgrading to a 27-inch iMac sometime between now and January. This makes me know that it won't be a total waste. I love my laptop, but I am totally lusting over that giant, beautiful screen.

Jen, I am so glad you are feeling better. :)
 
I don't even know how to calibrate my moniter... I totally know what you mean from working on a laptop vs. a desktop with the big screen. I don't love using my little MacBook, and prefer my iMac for sure!

I'm having a mild time management crisis today... feel overwhelmed and have too many sticky notes with to do lists on them on my "stickies" ap on my computer... as a result, I'm not being productive. awk. Any pointers anyone? I'll take any pointers on how I can be productive and use my time wisely and not be so distracted, at this point, lol...

Hi Star! It's nice to see you in here!
 
My family could use some prayers, or positive thoughts, or whatever, guys.

My uncle was trimming a tree at his sisters house today and the branch fell and took out the ladder and he fell off the ladder and landed flat on his back. He's in the hospital with broken ribs, massive bruising, and fractured vertebrae in his back. They're very possibly going to be operating within the next 24 hrs to remove bone fragments from near his spine because they are concerned about one of them moving and causing paralysis. He's in a hospital an hour from home, but only minutes from my mom's place, so my aunt is able to be close to him, but he's in rough shape right now and things are pretty bad. If you could send him some healing thoughts or prayers I would really appreciate it.
 
How scary Jen! I'm sending my good vibes his way, for sure. Hope it turns out alright and the surgery is successful. I'm sure he has a long recovery ahead of him, but he'll get through it!
 
NeverendingJen said:
thanks girlies for the love.

Donna, here's the link to a ticker! http://www.tickerclub.com/tickers/smoking/ I know you can do it, you made it so far, you can do it again. Just remember how sick you felt when you smoked those cigarettes.

Marla, I'll keep my eyes open for the PM

Thanks so much Jen!!! Especially as I had a fruitless search myself last nite, (but was putting in counters, not tickers lol)

Glad you're feeling better, and sending lots of good vibes for your uncle and whole family xx

I like the ticker, Donna! See how pretty and flowery the non-smoking side is?? That can be you...all flowery and pretty! :p

Thanks Kate!!! Cant wait to get all the nicotine out of my system . . and maybe smell like a flower instead of an ashtray!!! (I swear the stink is leaching out of my pores . . maybe it's just in my head tho hahaha)

Hope your computer bits arrive promptly! Lovin the sound of your screen, mines about 22/24 inch (cant remember now, but it's nice and big!) I hate scrappin on my lappy too, seems so tiny and the colours weird too
 
thanks guys. He's heading in this morning for the surgery. Thankfully he's at one of the best hospitals in Utah and has a great team working on him. They are very hopeful at this point.

Love the ticker Donna!!!!
 
Love the ticker, Donna! And it's been 6 days already? That's AWESOME! You're almost one week!

What hospital is he at, Jen? I didn't realize he's in Utah. Saying prayers and sending happy thoughts.

And, it's still me, I just changed my username from Andrea (HappyScrapMom) to Andrea G. lol
 
He's at IMC in Murray. My entire extended family is in Utah, basically. We're the only ones who left.

love the new username btw.

I want to scrap for portfolio, but I'm trying to finish CT layouts for DSD, lol!
 
Jen, that is a sweet hospital, it's brand new and supposed to be really good. You will have to update us how he's doing and his progress, Jen.

And thanks, my old username was longish, lol, I like this better, too.

I have my baby (who's 6) home from school today. :( Poor, little dude, he's got a croupy cough. I'm going to fill him up with yummy homemade soup (with major veggies purried in it), fruity smoothies and homemade wheat bread to try and get him feeling better.
