Two Chicks In Pursuit of a Babe: Shhh! Don't jinx it!

Shhh! Don't jinx it!

There is F.ollistim in my fridge. Shhh! Don't tell anyone. Don't speak too loudly. I'm afraid the not-gonna-give-you-a-break gods might hear you and come take it all away! No, seriously, it's here. It arrived by F.edex this morning. I didn't believe it was really going to happen 'til I heard the doorbell ring. An overnight snowfall and messy roads added to my distrust. But it's in my fridge now. No more progesterone for me. Bring on CD1. I think we're officially back in the game!

P.S. To the four of you who commented on Pay It Forward, I'm gonna go ahead and make homemade fun for all of y'all. Yay!!
