Ok folks!
Lots of fun stuff on the blog today.
First up, I am easing back into blog design and thought I would start out with a fabulously spooky way to temporarily update your blog for the BEST holiday of the year - HALLOWEEN!
As you may have noticed, my blog header has been tweaked to give it a more Halloween feel!
Super cute, right?
There are six Halloween header options on my ETSY SHOP that I will be highlighting throughout October and one lucky blogger will get the chance to win one for FREE!
Here's how:

Chores
Man...you guys sure do love reading about sex stuff, huh? You little devils, you.
So let's talk about more sexy stuff....CHORES!!
For those of you that are living with someone in a space that requires upkeep: ie - a single family home, townhouse, condo, apartment...basically anybody that lives somewhere other than their parent's basement - tell me, how do you divvy up the chores?
When you shacked up with your roommate, lover, husband, wife, whoever....did you sit down and talk about who does what or did it all just kind of fall into place?

Bathroom Update + a GIVEAWAY!
I had the MOST EXCITING weekend!
(ok...it was exciting for me, because I am odd bird, bear with me)
We are officially making headway with our bathroom re-do.
Now, the original intent was to save up some moolah, hire a professional, and have them knock out the work in a week.
So I called a couple people and had one come out for an estimate this weekend.
I told him everything we wanted to do, asked for a timeline, how many guys, etc, and he looks at me and says, "We will work on this project and have it completed in 6-7 days. Three guys. Labor is five thousand."
Gulp.
That's like....all the money we had saved up for this project.
So I tell him I will be buying the materials. I'm good at deal spotting, how much could this possibly be?

Festive Fall Touches
Ever since summer turned to fall in the blink of an eye and I said farewell to lazy weekends in the pool, my sights have turned inward, to my home.
I don't think I spent more than two minutes actually looking at each room, unless you count the bathroom mirror and shower wall. Those, I stare at almost daily.
There is much to be done. Much to be organized. Much to be renovated.
But until then?
We get festive.
A few pumpkins here, a swirly corn cob there, and all of a sudden, I am starting to embrace the cooler temps, knowing there is always a blanket close by to keep me warm.

One Year
September 13th marks the one year anniversary of moving into our fabulous big boy house.
One year of (slowly) making this house our home.
One year of what we could consider luxuries as compared to our prior home.
And what I mean by luxuries are: new, working windows that open and can be cleaned, lower utility bills because of new working windows, nicely insulated walls, no flood threats, space for our dogs to roam and explore without fear of attack.

Laissez les bon temps rouler
Happy Labor Day! Let the good times roll, indeed.
I'm back to doing what I love. Spilling my guts to the internet.
I have found, in the last couple of weeks, that I just adore writing.
Part of my little bit of soul searching made me realize I was getting caught up in the business aspect of blogging too much and not focusing on the feelings and connections.
I, in no way shape or form, will ever be able to grow this blog into a business.
Business is a harsh world. I am already elbow deep in the business world in real life, and just having my family and blog to come home to make dealing with assholes so much easier.
As you have seen, I gave my blog a little hyper-colored make-over. One that I am SURE doesn't speak volumes to many of you, but I just love it.
So what else has changed?

Clomid Update: The Aftermath
Hi there lovelies.
I wanted to give you a quick update as to the aftermath of taking these dreaded Clomid pills.
So, I told you how after 2+ years of bangin' it out old school, our feeble attempts at baby making led me to gear up for my first clomid cycle.
Then, I started Clomid and told you how I felt during the pill-taking phase.
And now here we are, 3 dpo (days past ovulation, for you non-TTC folks).
So what's been happening?
Well, I'm not happy. Not at all.

Restructuring
The norm these days is that blog-land is a bit of a ghost town.
Some people have been freaking out a bit....but honestly, I think it's great.
It means that people aren't relying on technology to have a good time. They are outside and actually talking to other people to entertainment vs. worrying about how many followers/likes/comments they are getting on their blog.

Mrs. McPeePants
Raise your hands if you have peed your pants before?
:crickets:
Um....no, honey. You are all lying and I can see you and your wet swamp crotch.
I have. And shockingly, it has nothing to do with shoving a watermelon sized baby out of a lemon sized vagina. Which, would actually be a perfectly acceptable excuse and one that I will most definitely exercise on the daily because dudes....it's a problem.
I don't just pee my pants for fun. Or because it's cool.

The Devil is Misoprostol
Oh hey girl....haaaiiii.
Let me fill you in on what's been going on this weekend and the first half of this week.
Dudes that read this.....it's about to get hot n' heavy....in the baby-making ladybit department, so you may or may not want to tune in for the rest.
You've been warned.

well, well, well
It seems all of blog land is on their period this week. Is this what is happening people?
We all start following each other and our flows sync up?
I have just been reading bitch fest after bitch fest, and don't get me wrong...I heart all of it.
I was actually just thinking that it has "been a while" since bloggers ruffled some feathers.
I like that style a bit. I blame a spout of shittier weather this week along with good ole' Aunt Flo.
Candra from Camo and Lipstick reached out to me this week via Facebook and suggested we team up for a giveaway. I'm always looking for a way to engage not only my readers, but to connect with fellow bloggers, so we quickly came up with a giveaway idea, that, I must admit, is pretty awesome.
It's awesome because it is going to take a while to get to the actual giveaway.
And I'm sure you're thinking, "that's not awesome for me" and to that I say..."pissshaw"
BECAUSE...your giveaway is going on a bit of journey before it ends up in your hands.
We were also able to wrangle up 22 other bloggers to participate, including some of more well known ones.
(This also started a bit of a weird email fan-dom chain yesterday, which was both hilarious and psychotic)

Simple. Fit. Fun.
It's Wednesday mo-fo's!
It's super dreary here. A lot of rain and I actually had to thrown on my jacket.
Not overly upset about it considering I have been battling another round of ebola for three days.
Back in the office today. No more razor throat. Just slow and a bit tired feeling.
I managed to work out Friday through Sunday over the weekend, but have chosen sleep over AM workouts every day this week. Suck it weights. I need to get better.
While I was cooped up this weekend in an attempt to keep my germs contained, I finished up my latest blog design upgrade for a sweet lady named Bailey.
Here is the finished product.

Louisville Bound
Oh. Mah. Gah Becky.....this week has been a shit storm.
Our company is heading to our annual retreat and the location this year is Louisville.
I have been training a new person and creating an hour long presentation to boot. Trying to keep a presentation on Purchase Policies fun is seriously difficult.
Any of your lovely blogging ladies local?
If so! Let me know and maybe I can break away from work for a drink!!
We are staying at the 21c Museum Hotel and I am super pumped. This place looks awesome!!

I have the sexiest sidebar on the block
Yo.
Popping in real quick to introduce everyone to some badass bitches.
As you have, clearly, already noticed, my right sidebar has been taken over by some of the sassiest ladies in the blogging world.
At least I think so.
