It had completely slipped my mind to think that we could get married now and do a party thing later. (Thanks, Unabashed!) So I think that’s what we’re going to do. Only thing is, Hank is on lockdown from August until the game is released in March – which means other than the 2 week […]
Last night we ate spaghetti & french bread, with raw butter and watched Weeds & Nurse Jacquie. When Nurse Jacquie was over, Hank turned off the tv, kneeled down in front of me and said something about how, long before The Nugget came along, this was forever. He then tried not to roll his eyes […]
So I’m just a couple days shy of 18 weeks now. I had an appointment with my midwife yesterday (all is well, though my uterus is apparently larger than normal at this point, which made her question my due date for a moment.) She said it’s quite active, to which I said I haven’t felt […]
Hank & I have been having a grand ol’ time saying “web of misery” in a Southern accent, every chance we get. PS I don’t know if you actually drink Jim Beam in the South. That was just a dig at making the leap from “occasional glass of wine” to Jim Beam. (huh?) In any […]
Damn you, Facebook. DAMN YOU. I had this friend, back in high school and after – one of my closest friends, and for a time, THE closest friend. During high school, we did everything together. We spent many days after school, and most of the weekend, at her house. Once I got my driver’s license, […]
Last night, Hank took me out for sushi – I know, I know. I ate the vegetable rolls and some lobster. Sigh. What I really wanted was the catch of the day (red snapper). Alas. Vegetable or not, though… oh, sweet jesus. Sushi. I used to eat fried eggs just about every day – I […]
Last night, while flipping through the channels, we came across “In the Womb” on the National Geographic Channel. Fascinating show, I can’t possibly list all the truly awe-inspiring tidbits of information we heard & saw – but you shoulda SEEN that little kangaroo foetus make it’s way out the internal womb and into the pouch. […]
Had my second doctor appointment today – ultrasound in the morning, then I go see the midwives later this afternoon. I’m really disappointed in the printout they gave us today, it’s not nearly as good as the many images we saw while there – images where it actually looked like a human being. As soon […]
I was much more zen and less complain-y and crotchety when I moved to Europe. I was far more peaceful and less critical, less gossip-y. I blame traffic. But seriously. I have a couple theories as to why I always seem to be more uptight in the States: 1. Well, honestly, when I lived in […]
I’ve realized that there’s another reason I hate Facebook. I have all these friends from Prague, some closer than others. My closest friends are stationary. They’ve all settled in Prague, have husbands and children (or want them) and go visit family occasionally, on holidays. Then there’s the friends that are more acquaintances. People I’ve known, […]
Hank said to me this morning, “Whatever you want to do tomorrow, we’ll do it.” (Which is an odd thing to say, because, really, if either one of us every really wants to do something, we do it. And what I really love to do is never make plans.) However, in the spirit of that […]
The other night, when Hank got in bed, with my back towards him, I started sniffing and said, “Did you have a beer?” “A beer? No…” I turned around to look at him. He thought for a minute and said, “Yeah, at work… like, 6 hours ago.” He’d long since changed clothes, had a couple […]
