BFN, Pinterest Party, Home Repairs.. and Wine Time

Good morning loves. I couldn't come up with a creative title to tie this all together… 

I did it. I tested this morning for two reasons-

1) I think a lot of this missed period mumbo jumbo ordeal is mental. Mentally I am blocking AF. So maybe if I see the stark white, while it will suck royally, it will help with the mental blockade so to speak. 

2) Tonight is a girls get together. Its called a Pinterest Party, where everyone chooses a recipe or craft from Pinterest and recreates it for the group. There will be wine and drink and if I want to responsibly take part in the vino I need to know for sure that I am not pregnant. 

The results? 

Bring on the vino. 

Stark white negative. I was going to share a picture, but its depressing and I know how much BFN's suck for me to view so why keep viewing it.  

I really already knew this, but I also had some hope that maybe I would be that girl. The one waiting for her IVF cycle that miraculously ended up pregnant. Alas that girl is not me. At least not this time. At least I can have a glass of wine tonight and prepare to move forward mentally…and hopefully physically as well. Thank you all for your hope and prayers- you ladies are so wonderful at being the optimist when the pessimist in me takes over. 

So about this Pinterest Party- tonight I am making this:

If you follow the source it will lead you to the recipe. Once I make it I will share a picture of the actual results with all of you as well:) Wanna take part in a virtual Pinterest Party? Share a picture of a recipe or craft or really anything you have tried to make as a result of finding on Pinterest or the Interweb. Share a photo of the end results with all of us and let us know how you made out! No harm in failures either. Don't believe me? Then you have never been to this site- Craft Fail. Need a laugh? Having a rough day, week, or month? I will guarantee something on  craft fail will bring you a laugh and some joy :) 

I also wanted to share the photos of our home repairs - 

This is the "nursery to be" this wall you are looking at boarders the bathroom and was completely destroyed by the leaks as well as the ceiling. Its painted green so that its ready for our bundle or joy(s) no matter their gender :)

I've made the "nursery to be" my Santa workshop. I want Santa to bring me a baby to fill this nursery so I figure while I listen to my Christmas music and wrap I will pray for this room to always be filled with love and joy. I avoid this room a lot, but not this holiday. 

This is our bathroom that was completely destroyed. The titling and walls and ceiling are all new. Its so pretty now. 

The wall tiling behind the shower is completely new. It is not only beautiful, but its functional since the shower is a very wet place to begin with the tiling will help the moisture from penetrating the walls again. 

Last night Rob hung all of our art back up. It looks perfect now.

Today I am going to lunch with a girl friend and then cooking for the Pinterest Party. It will be a great distraction and hopefully AF will appear now that I removed the mental blockade.
