its been a while since i last updated...
since my last update:
-we celebrated christmas
-had a good talk about BDing and TTC
-went to a IIHF world juniors game-rang in the new year
-i hit my 20lb mark in weight watchers
christmas was good. low key which i like. on xmas eve we had my mom, sister and her bf, and my aunt over for some lasagna (i had decided a couple months ago i was not making a turkey, lol). it was a good supper and we opened a couple gifts and then tried to play the new "cranium: brain break" game which we're still trying to figure out how to keep score when some activities are 'everyone plays'.... xmas morning we woke up a bit later than planned to get to my moms a bit earlier, but its christmas, its okay. got some great gifts from my husband and he absolutely loves the bar fridge i got him. got to my moms and opened the rest of those gifts. once again my mom went a little overboard on buying presents and got us some things that we really don't care for. but i've to accept that that's just going to happen whether we like it or not.
boxing day was a very early and long day. i actually went boxing day shopping. i was not prepared, lol. i went with my sister and her bf first thing in the morning so that i'd be sure to get the camera i'd been eyeing up for a few months (canon rebel t2i). 6:00am is very early. but not too early for boxing day shopping apparently. when we got to best buy at 5:45 (they opened at 6) there was quite a lineup already. luckily they had tickets for ppl for their doorcrashers so as long as i got to where my camera was in the first 3 hours, i was guaranteed one. when they opened the doors, i was a little surprised how civil everyone was. no pushing, no stampeeding... something that i guess happens in the states on black friday. i got to the line for the camera (they had about 7 lines within the store for these doorcrashers) and was in it for about 45 minutes. it actually wasn't that bad. and thankfully they were taking payment at the end of the line so you didn't have to go stand in another line for that. once we were done at best buy, we zipped over to future shop for the tv DH wanted for the bedroom. it wasn't even that busy. it was more like a very busy xmas season shopping day in there. of course parking was a little harder come by, but it really wasn't that bad. in and out within 15 minutes. we were in the city for a total of 90 minutes and made it home and back in bed before the sun even came up!
so i got some extra hours of sleep in before getting up for the day and then getting ready for our big family dinner with my extended family. i also tested out and read up on the new camera. totally love it. although i'm pretty sure i'm going to be taking a course so i can understand and use all the different settings it has. hubby made his now famous mashed potatoes and we headed over to my uncles. supper was great. i didn't overindulge and stayed within my diet (quite an accomplishment considering how bad my sweet tooth has been previously).

| i look like i'm back to my wedding weight! |
friday i caught a lovely cold. boo! it was only an extremely stuffed nose, but i was so exhausted by saturday with trying to breathe i felt a lot sicker than i actually was because of it. i even missed out on a new years eve party because i had no energy to go anywhere or do anything. that cold stuck around until monday and by tuesday i was finally doing better and only had a bit of a stuffed nose by then. my nose and lips sure took a beating with the cold. both were so chapped from the constant use of kleenex and having to breathe through my nose.
this wednesday i went to my Weight Watcher's meeting and finally hit my 20lb mark! yes, i've lost a total of 20.4lbs. its unbelievable when i think about my scale ever being at 160lbs. now i'm back into pretty much all the pants i was wearing before gaining all that weight and i now have to buy a new belt, lol. it feels amazing knowing i'm capable of losing that much weight and i'm about half way to where i ultimately want to be, but i'm now less than 10lbs from where i would be happy with my weight.
yesterday DH attended a memorial for a fallen volunteer fire fighter in BC. it really hit home with him because he was close in age and recently married. apparently there was quite the turn out and i get sad just looking at the pics of it on FB (mostly because i can't bear to watch look at funeral type stuff anymore because of personal reasons). here's some links to a few of the news stories:

on the TTC front. i don't really want to talk about the convo DH and i had about TTC and BDing because its not going to get me anywhere right now and i'm all talked about it. i will say that O day was on dec 28 based on positive OPKs on cd 17 and 18 (cd18's OPK being increadibly dark so i'm basing O off that one). today is 9dpo and so far i feel nothing. absolutely nothing. normally i'd have something by now, usually sore boobs that always start around 8dpo, but not this month. i'm really hoping a lack of symptoms is a good thing for me but i guess we'll see in the morning since that's when i plan to first test and it should be late enough in my LP to get an accurate result. either way, no matter which result i get, i'll still test probably each day after until AF shows up and if she doesn't, i'll probably test every few days to make sure its still positive. we BD'd O-3 and O-1 and a few times before that so dh's sperm should have been fresh and raring to go for those 2 attempts (better odds than other months)........ *fingers crossed!!!*
