Buttercups, NX and IRX are snoozing on the bed after a long day, and I have been having some adult time, if by "adult time" you mean "playing a video game meant for 12 year olds and browsing a social networking site meant for high schoolers ( Read more... )

Chiquillos, I have been in tech for a week and a half now, and it is exhausting. 6-11 every night and 11 hour days over the weekend.  Tomorrow we open and then I'm free to go to sleep before midnight.  In the meantime, I am curled up in the rocking chair with the computer and my coffee, while IRX rolls around in her crib.  She does all kinds of ( Read more... )

Tinkerbells, we had our 40 week appointment today.  I had not-so-secret hopes that she would check me and immediately rush me over to delivery because I was one of those women who doesn't realize she's in labour.  No such luck, although I have "progressed" since the last visit - I'm now 3cm dilated and 90% effaced, which explains why it feels as if ( Read more... )

Buttercups, I went to the gym this morning (with mintwaster and raybear ) and it was PACKED! We worked out, if by "we worked out" you mean that "one of us walked very slowly on a treadmill and then pedaled very slowly on a bike and then went and played iphone majong in the lobby." And then we put our membership on hold for a few months, since neither of us has been ( Read more... )

Darlings, I am 39 weeks pregnant and not responding graciously to my Current Condition.  I know I am not even to my due date, but I had just hoped she would come out when she was to term - it is totally illogical, really.  But time is passing so slowly.  I'm trying to just be relaxed and patient, but (as raybear would say) Have You Met Me? Those qualities ( Read more... )

A ja ja ja ja!!!!!  Creampuffs, I am GIDDY with the news that Gov. Blagojevich has been arrested.  I don't know why I find the news so entirely pleasing, especially because 1.) one should hope our elected officials are not selling Senate seats and 2.) I'm sure this practically guarantees a Republican governor in the next election, but I just think ( Read more... )

Amores, if you haven't seen Teatro Luna's latest show, why not check it out this weekend?  We've got a special rate of only $12 all weekend long, which is a total bargain in my opinion.  Also, you know how I am always talking about going to the Senora?  The whole play is about that!  Our actual, real life Senoras feature prominently, so you can ( Read more... )

Pumpkins, I really am not crabby all of the time, just most of the time.  In my brighter moments, here's what is making me excited:

1.) Donuts.  I love them so much.  I love them more than ever.  All I want to eat are donuts.  And yet, in a miraculous display of self-control, I have not eaten one for weeks.  I just think about them and remember them ( Read more... )

Oh darlings, I have been so very very crabby.  I would like to give myself a lobotomy!

The sad effect of my absolute crabbiness is that I find myself reacting to people in the most contrary ways, for no good reason at all.  The sound of people breathing makes me irritated, so it should be no surprise that I am the last person anyone on this planet ( Read more... )
