Not pregnant. Oh well, at least I finally found out and it shows my body is getting back to normal after the pill! Hubby admitted he was a bit disappointed and I think that just made my night. I never know if he really cares as much as I do.

Now we've got to stop trying otherwise I could wind up delivering during his exams! Now I see why people say that babymaking is so hard.

At least tonight I don't have to act suspect and I can eat, drink and be merry :)

I remember how proud I was when I finally figured out what that acronym meant! It's funny as you grow-up and or go through different life stages that different acronyms pop up. I never knew what DH meant until I started reading wedding blogs...it still makes me want to throw up every time I think about it I'd prefer AH (awesome husband) darling just sounds too old school English for my tastes. But to each their own of course and if you're reading this and use DH (Darling Husband) please don't hold my views against me! Then there was TTC as I started up on the baby blogs that one didn't take me too long to figure out though!

My all time favourite though has to be my Uncle's misunderstanding (the one who read a poem at our wedding). He was always signing of emails to my Mum saying LOL Ken. I don't know if Mum ever told him it doesn't mean lots of love. I definitely prefer his version of lol though, much sweeter (see I can like corny mushy stuff after all).

Tonight we went to the outdoor cinema (again it's becoming almost a ritual each weekend!) and watched the Social Network. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought JT was great, he's come so far since his N*SYNC days (and no I wasn't a fan although I must ashamedly admit I love him solo and bought VIP tickets to one of his concerts!). It was an interesting perspective and I would love to know how much was true and how much was fabricated. I think I shall have to read that book it was based on. It also left me to wonder how many people tried to add that Albright chick as a friend. It also made me miss livejournal just a little bit I used to have so many of them! From Buffy fanfic ones (yes I was a complete and total nerd!) to a weird short story erotica group with my male best friend - we still get people requesting to become members and it wasn't even dirty more taking the piss! It's strange how everything evolves! I highly suggest everyone goes back and reads over their old livejournals (if you had one) they're full of funny crap. Such as 20 year old me saying HELL NO to being pregnant at 25 HA-HA-HA

Oh the past how I have missed you...

Realisations

I think I am now officially living pay check to pay check and it sucks! We've always had a pretty good life and been good with our money. Living with parents for so long I always had a bit of savings but after the honeymoon and wedding most of it disappeared. But still we were doing ok, then Christmas and now...EEEKKK! Even with my payrise, our rent has increased (it isn't always adventageous to have your mum as a landlord) and I'm now paying increased car insurance. I should stop whinging I know everyone goes through this but it's hard being on one income especially with Hubby not having a job over his huge summer break from uni. He has been helping out around the house which is fantastic but he isn't really doing enough :( Then again my version of clean is different to his version of clean. There endeth my financial woes whinge - nothing compared to everyone suffering from the floods which are not only in QLD but NSW is affected and so is some of WA and then there was that deliberately lit fire south of Perth earlier this week GRRR

In terms of the baby?no baby? I'm going to test on Saturday and then assume no baby if it's negative. I'm feeling a lot more relaxed about it but that could be because I'm so busy at work I just want to collapse into bed when I get home. Sometimes having no spare time to think is a good thing :)

Tick Tock...

So still googling and who knows what is going on with my wonderful body. I'm seriously starting to think that I'm not pregnant and it's just because I've come off the pill. I don't mind I just want to know!!! With an awesome dinner out scheduled for Saturday night I really want to know if it's safe to drink (which shouldn't be my attitude but I've been so good lately!).


Oh well time will tell and with what I've been reading I could be waiting for months to find out! The wonders of the human body...

Musings

Still working on that whole staying healthy thing (although chocolate is still my downfall). Today and yesterday went for hour long walks on the dog beach. I love it and it's so much better than the treadmill. I was thinking about why this was the case and I think there's 3 reasons - (1) I can see my goal (2) Walking with the Hubby and my Mum (3) It's the dog beach and there's always something to see/be distracted by.

Hopefully I can keep this up because it's enjoyable. I've lost 2kg so far (4.4 pounds) that's a little less than what my niece weighs! I wish I could always remember how good exercise makes me feel it'd make it that much easier to get motivated. It's also easier having people to share it with as well because in some way they do force me to get off my butt and get moving.

In other happy news - we've been trying to get pregnant! I know naughty us and I've always been changing my mind about timing but what the heck. It's never the right time to have a baby. So far 2 negative tests but I'm late so we'll just have to wait and see. If we are pregnant I'll let Hubby have his 'super sperm complex'! If it doesn't happen we now have to hold off because if I get pregnant this month the baby would be due during Hubby's final exams. So that's a sneaky little update. I'm so annoyed with this whole wait and see thing though, either hurry up and be 'that time of the month' or I want to see a + sign on a test! It would be pretty crazy if I was though seeing as it was our first time trying with me straight off the pill. I just can't not get my hopes up damn it!

Monday Yummies

Mish Mash Frittata

So I ripped this off taste.com.au but their's was just a boring ham and corn frittata and I wanted mine to be more awesome. PS: I am cheating because I made this Saturday for our date night at the movies. PPS: Unstoppable is awesome!

Ingredients

• 100g chopped sandwhich ham
• 1 can of corn (drained)
• Half a handful of kalamata olives (sliced) - they were whole from the deli section 
• Handful of chopped sundried tomatoes
• Little over 1/2 cup grated cheese
• 7 eggs
• 1/3 cup milk + a couple of extra splashes
• Generous dash of lemon pepper

Method

• Preheat the oven to 200C
• Mix all ingredients together (except the last 3) and spread evenly over a greased non-stick pan [I deviated here they said to grease it & line with baking paper but because our BP is crap I chose to exclude it].
• Whisk the eggs & milk and towards the end had the lemon pepper
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the other ingredients and then pop the pan in the oven for 25-30mins.
• Keep an eye on it and then remove from oven and leave to cool.
• You can serve it straight away but because we used ours for a picnic I put it in the fridge. It came out of the pan really easily even without the paper!

Voila...
