Valentine's day?  Well, that's a surprise to both of us.  We've had so much going on that neither had time to think about it.

Much the same here. Between my wife's doctoral thesis and her mother having a stroke, there hasn't been enough time to catch our breath, let alone contemplate a romantic holiday.  My wife told me her present was to only work part of the day, so I would not to wrangle the kids all day.  I said that would conflict with my gift - to watch the kids all day so she could work on her thesis!

 

Such is life, indeed...

@MetaLicious. a Gift of the Magi moment to be sure. Honestly, Susan's gift to me was to head up north to look after her dad for a bit. I'm taking advantage of it by napping.

 

@Debra Michelle, I just used our air-fryer last night to re-heat some fried chicken. I've been on the "healthy food" trail for two years though. We're gluten free, healthy food, high protein, low carbs, etc... There are a lot more salads and yogurt in my diet than there used to be. That's probably not a bad thing. Still, don't forget to have unhealthy food now and then. Like my friend Ray pointed out, if you let your cravings go too long, you'll really overdo when you get a chance to satisfy them.

Best of luck!

 

Hugs!

I must remember that. I have a cannister of chocolate malted mix that I've been trying to avoid being tempted by, just because it has a high glycemic index.  A little won't be as bad for me as breaking down in a fit of overindulgent gluttony!  Maybe if I have some protein first, so the sugar doesn't hit me so hard...  I have been such a good girl - dropped 15 pounds over the last year, and I'm on track to lose another five.  I swear, someday I will have a waist and not a belly!

happy Valentine's Day everyone

 

Had a good day so far.  I made my wife a card this year.  crayons and a personal note.  She obviously appreciated it.

 

We did some shopping today, mostly at Lowes Home Improvements.  We are remodeling the bathroom and needed some things.

 

Our next stop was a new fabric store that had opened up.  On the way there she talked about making me a dress.  Now that's a good day in my book.

 

I hope everyone else has had as good a day.

I had a good day.Two new employees I hired been working out great for me.I was in the Snap On tool truck with one of them,told the dealer we deal with that he owed a little bit money and I was glad he was being honest.He owed $130.00 and paid that off.Told me that it is better to tell the truth and not lie about it.Not too happy with my husband right now,did get intimate with an ex girlfriend of mine one time in November.I was not in a good mood about it at all at first.Good thing is he does want to work things out,wants to stay with me and never did this to me before.I am willing to work things out with him,both admit our sex life has been boring lately.

Enjoy the Theatre tonight Kathy, does not sound like work at all, but a labor of love, brrrr stay warm.

 

Well, it was interesting tonight, but not in a good way.  One of the lead actors collapsed on stage.  She was awake before she got into the ambulance, but it sounds like something serious.

I had a nice cup of tea with breakfast this morning.

 

The actor who collapsed on stage last night was just dehydrated.  Whew, nothing serious!  The show will go on tonight.

Good news Kathy :) Enjoy the show tonight ! Just sipping coffee this morning reading and posting on the Internet, I am an early riser. It's raining here again, dark and wet, although I mowed our lawn yesterday (seasons first), we had some nice sunshine yesterday. 

 

Have a nice weekend !

That's good news Kathy.  Thankfully it wasn't something serious. 

 

It was 11 when I got up and it won't go beyond the mid 20's today.  It is bright and sunny though!   That seems awfully early to have to mow your lawn Cyndee.  I guess my impression of the PacWest area is wrong.

 

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, everyone! Had my first cup of coffee, then went out to buy a pound of the good stuff so I can make my wife a decent post-Valentine's Day/pre-birthday cup.  Today we are supposed to get temps a couple degrees above freezing!  That will be so welcome after the frigid spell we have gone through lately.

Good Morning all, I’m drinking black tea this morning.  I’m all coffee’d out after last night.  My wife and I went crazy and went bar hoping all night. Of course, I don’t drink so I’m one of the designated drivers and was drinking coffee all night long.  Too much coffee!  Is that possible?  YES!
 

It was an interesting evening to say the least.  There was a bunch or my close very affirming cis neighbors mixed in with a few trans friends out on the town with us.  We did the whole karaoke thing and it was a blast.  You can never predict how these things might go but it was great.  My wife is a bit under the weather due to having one too many Long Island ice teas but I’m pampering her this morning.  Hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day.♥️

-15*F at 7am and my wife and Had plans to go to breakfast and then a morning and afternoon shopping in West Lebanon NH.
We scored so big it was unbelievable.  I got $255 worth of clothing at Kohl’s for like $45.  My wife killed it at $120 worth for $4.95.  She is a master.  Lol

Cute boots and summer sneakers, sweaters, jackets and T’s.   The list goes on and on.  We even had to share the dressing rooms so we could give advice or opinions.  She actually listens to me now.  Huh.  Just a wonderful day of shopping!!!
Great girly day for me.  I’m beaming still.

I'm guessing the avatar is from yesterday's shoot? Nice! I was going to comment earlier but it hurts to sit in my computer chair. I'm still working out which sitting device leaves me in less misery. Right now it seems to be the couch. I'm going to have to charge my laptop.

 

That is easily my favorite way to shop. Susan and I share a changing room and just have some fun. Though she listened to me before I came out too. I've always had good color sense.

In any case, I'm so glad you got to experience that! It's magic!

 

Hugs!

Yes it is from yesterday’s pampering makeover.  
I posted a couple pics.  
Sorry to hear your still so uncomfortable with pain.  
Like anything else.  One day at a time.

Wow! That is an impressive haul! My whole family went clothes shopping also, and I found a handbag that I liked. I've been needing one badly since none of my new pants have functional pockets. I also scored a new pair of boots - I literally have more shoes now than I have ever had in my life!  How did this happen so fast?

 

I am walking on sunshine, because today is the first time I have been called ma'am since I began my journey.  I find it amazing that something so small can really make one's day.

Shawna, good looking picture.

 

Jackie, Is the pain from sitting on your surgery area. May want to try sitting on one of those neck pillows. The kind shaped like a horseshoe. I used one when I severely bruised my tailbone. While I had the open part to the back you may want it towards the front.

Great idea! I will get on that right away.  It's not like I am going back to sleep - infants make sleeping in so unlikely...

 

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

Yeah, tragically a "donut" design puts extra pressure on the venting holes which is a different pain, but still pretty uncomfortable. I'm going to have some gnarly scars unless they settle into the creases for my legs.

Just relaxing this afternoon after my pot of coffee. It was my usual morning at the supermarket, braving the stormy weather here. My brother and his wife were there shoppiing too. He is into white water things in his canoe but, even though he is going to the water this afternoon, he is going to a lake rather than risking the floodwater (it will be windy anyway).

 

I think I made a good attempt at outing myself as I needed a bag of compost. It's not often you see a woman in skirt / tights carrying a 50Litre bag of compost under her arm lol. It didn't seem to attract any attention though. I didn't get any offers of help either though :unsure:

Okay, lets try this again.  I have a question about connecting to the transgenderpulse website.  When I use my Apple computer/Safari, it won't connect. but when I use a windows based laptop, no issues.  Is there something about Safari and the website?

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
