Waiting, hoping (and pictures!)

This month seems like a waste.  The hubs has been sick the last two days, complete with projectile vomiting and a fever, and I'm probably going to ovulate in the next few days, so I doubt this month will be the month.  I'm still tentatively scheduled for an HSG on June 12th, assuming my period starts when I think it will.  So now I just wait it out and hope what few eggs I have left haven't all shriveled up and died by the time we get to do anything.

We're settling in to our house pretty well.  We still have a LOT more to do, but at the moment it's livable.  The commute isn't too bad, either.  I'm not a fan of commutes that take longer than 5-10 minutes by car (which is why I was living in a not-so-nice neighborhood before), but 25 minutes without traffic isn't all that bad.

In the meantime, while we wait, we have gone on something of a spending spree.  While we have spent a lot of money lately on things like fixing up our old house, medical bills, and moving expenses, we haven't spend much on ourselves.  So we bought a VW camper van!  Woohoo!  I'm hoping this means that we'll get to go camping a LOT more.  I also finally replaced my bike that was stolen in January.  That bike, which I loved, was 10 years old.  Things have changed a lot in 10 years, it seems.  My new bike is super fancy and I can't wait to take it our for a spin.  I probably would have already if my husband wasn't sick and we weren't planning to leave for Washington state tomorrow.

And I finally, finally, finally got a new phone.  My old phone had gotten to the point where certain apps (my bank's app, starbucks, etc) wouldn't work anymore at all.  The camera was so sluggish that I couldn't take pictures, and they looked really weird when I did manage to get something.  The phone body was literally coming apart, and even though I kept it plugged in all day at work, if I didn't plug it in at night it would be dead by morning.  The guys at Best Buy couldn't believe it was still working considering it's age (3 years!).  So it was definitely time.  I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3.  Probably ancient technology for most people, but so new and exciting for me!  I can take pictures again!  And just to show you, I'll add a bunch of gratuitous kitty and puppy pictures to this post:

First up, we have Boss.  This is how he always looks.  I often call him Mr. Grumpy Pants.  Every time I try to do anything in any sort of reclined position, this is what happens about five minutes later. 

This is Max in his new favorite spot, wedged between my dresser and the bedroom window.  My husband says he gets the award for best otter impression:

A view of our dogs from the top of the stairs.  This room is turning into the dog room.  I'm not entirely happy about that.

Nymeria actually using a cat bed!  She really, really loves the brown dresser in the back corner.  That dresser is going to go into the "nursery" as soon as we get around to moving it.  She won't be happy.

Nymeria yawning really big!

Max by my pillow, Nymeria by the foot of the bed, and if you look close you can see D's head in the top left corner.  As you can see, they leave plenty of space for me.

The dogs grudgingly sharing their bed.  I think it might be time to get a second one.
