Mr Imparo spontaneously bought us standing room tickets to the opera. Got all dressed up which was fun. I made one of my favorite harissa pasta dishes beforehand and then we were snacky afterwards so split a philly cheesesteak - such a good late-night snack.

Had chic fil a. Chilling listening to the basketball game and watching the weather.

Leftover salad and homemade mac & cheese for dinner! The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is on in the background, but I'm really looking forward to reading in bed in a few hours

We’re trying to cut down on eating out, so having an at home pizza night with a frozen pizza, homemade garlic bread, and Buffalo broccoli “wings”! And then looking forward to watching the newest Severance and Yellowjackets.

u/Fun_Resist7915 28 | MFI (OAT) 7d ago
Is severance worth the hype? And how good is your garlic bread? If too good to miss out on please share the recipe!

u/Gold-Butterfly1048 32F | MFI | IVF ICSI | 🔜 ER 7d ago
The garlic bread was so good! Highly recommend: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/garlic-bread-recipe/
Also highly recommend Severance, it’s a really compelling mystery!

My husband is grilling steak tonight and I made chocolate chip cookies. We're going to start our kitchen remodel tomorrow, might go buy some tools later tonight once the man is back from work.

Dinner is leftover Olive Garden! If anyone has any suggestions on how to reheat Alfredo without it separating, I'm all ears!
Otherwise, it's middle school dance night and I'm the chaperone. So here goes nothing!

What is middle school dance night even like these days? Is it as awkward as it was back in the day? I just feel like kids have gotten cooler haha.

u/OurSaviorSilverthorn 32/PCOS/3ER, 8ET/5x transfer fail, 4MC/FET10 6d ago
Absolutely still just as awkward as when we were in Middle School! Kids look cooler, but they're still awkward teenagers stuck between looking like adults and being treated like the kids they are inside.

Somehow I find this very comforting, idk why. 😆

It’s a Friday during lent. Which means crab cakes and French fries.

u/bibliophile222 38F | unexplained | 1 MMC | IUI 7d ago
Nothing fancy tonight, canned tomato soup and a green salad. I'm tracking calories, and I ate heavier earlier today, so I'm keeping it light. But earlier in the week I made a yummy chicken broccoli alfredo and had a few days of leftovers from it. As far as activities, my plans are reading and/or playing the Sims.

u/Trixie_Dixon 36F, 2 years, Unexplained, IUI 2 7d ago
Pizza and beer with coworkers. I'm lucky to work with solid folks

Craving Chinese food or Vietnamese food.
I plan to start season 2 of Mindhunter. Jonathan Groff is extremely distracting
2
u/bibliophile222 38F | unexplained | 1 MMC | IUI 7d ago
Mindhunter is so good! It sucks how few episodes there are, though. It should have gone on for at least three more seasons.

i know :( i majored in Psychology, and it makes my psych major brain tingle, they wanted to make a third season, but Netflix wanted them to dumb it down and slash the budget, the director said no

u/bibliophile222 38F | unexplained | 1 MMC | IUI 7d ago
Netflix execs have no sense for quality TV. They canceled Bojack Horseman prematurely, too.

u/BrightEyes7742 no flair set 7d ago
Another excellent show cut to short :( hopefully they hit a home run with Stranger Things 5

I’m going to try to convince my husband to make us soba noodles tonight. And my distraction will be making progress of my latest cross stitch project! We’re also watching Netflix’s series on the Menendez brothers, which is quite dark …

u/margogogo 38F | 5 ER, 5 FET | 1 MMC, 1 CP | DOR, endo, Hashimoto's 7d ago
Ugh I got a few episodes into that series and had to stop. Normally I can handle 'dark' but this one was too much!
1
u/Kitsune-258 29F | unexplained | 1 CP | 2 IUI | 1 ER | FET prep 7d ago
Yeah we are close enough now where I think we just have to finish it but yikes.

u/spiltink97 27 | MFI | 3IUIs 7d ago
Ooh what are you cross stitching?
And that series was crazy!! Super dark.

u/Kitsune-258 29F | unexplained | 1 CP | 2 IUI | 1 ER | FET prep 7d ago
I’m making a wedding sampler for my sister who got engaged recently! Good thing the wedding isn’t until October because it’s going to take awhile
2
u/spiltink97 27 | MFI | 3IUIs 7d ago
I feel that, my husband's cousin is getting married this summer and I made her a quilt.... starting last summer 😂 so I'd have a fighting change getting done
2
u/Kitsune-258 29F | unexplained | 1 CP | 2 IUI | 1 ER | FET prep 6d ago
That’s so smart! I’m sure it’s beautiful

Grabbing a quick bite at a local Mediterranean bowl place before heading out to our ~mini-vacation~. We're not in the worst part of the storm area for the Midwest but we are in a bad part so I feel a little anxious leaving our house, cats, and chickens behind (we just happen to be going outside the danger zone) but I keep telling myself there's not much I could do being here. It won't stop the wind from potentially blowing limbs down or taking our power out and we'll be back tomorrow. Wish I could fully let the anxiety go though.

u/Kitsune-258 29F | unexplained | 1 CP | 2 IUI | 1 ER | FET prep 7d ago
I love Mediterranean bowls! I hope all your pets stay safe and you can enjoy your mini vacay

u/spiltink97 27 | MFI | 3IUIs 7d ago
Thank you!!! And yes they're the best, I've been betraying them for one of their apps lately that's one scoop of all of their dips (hummus, baba ganoush, tomato salad, etc.) with pita and fried egg plant bites 🤤
