GAP-BAG

I'm tired of how disappointed we all are when we get our periods. No one knows more than me how upsetting it is. As my husband can tell you, I'm not a "look on the bright side" kind of person. But I have it idea that might help the negative pregnancy test sting just a little less.

I'm calling it GAP-BAG. It stands for Get A Period-Buy A Gift.

Last month, I decided that if I got my period, I was going to buy myself this necklace I've had my eye on for at least a year. It's not a break-the-bank kind of necklace, but I don't like to spend money on things like this for myself when we have bills and plenty of other places to put our money.

But damnit, I (we) deserve something for the hell I've (we've) gone through these last two months. Since I decided on the necklace before this cycle began, I started watching for a sale. Not only will it go on sale this Wednesday, I have a $10 off coupon. Gotta love Kohls. So here is a photo of the necklace I'll be buying myself as a consolation prize:


What about my IF sisters? What will you do to lift your own spirits if the bad kind of spotting starts? It doesn't have to be expensive, maybe a book or even a double mocha latte since you've been avoiding coffee during the 2ww.
