Looks like I get to take the childbirth class after all! I got my official confirmation today. Woot. ...of course, my mom is convinced that I'm going to (or else should) go into labor during the second half of the class on the 14th, so I'll be right close by the hospital and everything will be all fresh in my head and I can come home on Monday ( Read more... )

Woohoo! The parents finally came through with their promise to get me the baby car seat! It's a convertible Alpha Omega Elite we found at the Babies 'R Us in Omaha (it's almost just like the Eddie Bauer one I actually registered for, but supposedly it's the best-rated of the bunch AND $20 cheaper than the EB one). So, yay! But, I'll probably ( Read more... )

So... What, it's been almost a year since anything's come out of this thing? How time does fly. Hmm. I've taken to checking email on a relatively routine basis through my parents' computer (I dislike not being able to use my own PC, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers.), so there's a chance you folks may hear from me every now and again on ( Read more... )

*sigh* So, the parents keep ragging on me and pushing me toward abortion with of course nothing but insults for the baby's daddy. *rolls eyes* Oh, and there's Dad and his "You have TWO WEEKS to decide! No excuses!" Can someone shoot him? Please? And not in the figurative sense? With every minute that goes by, I want to spend less and less ( Read more... )

Well, I've been trying to think this whole familial mess over as best as I can. Not an easy task, of that I assure you all, despite Dad and his "you need to decide now--like THIS WEEK." I'm not saying anything's written in stone as far as plans go, and I certainly don't want to do anything too rash, but I think I'm getting an idea of what I do ( Read more... )

Hello and greetings from dmoira's apartment! Once again, she's out visiting relatives, and I am sitting two tarantulas, a tree frog, a snake, two crested geckos (and 2 crested gecko eggs!), a maroon-tailed conure (that'd be a bird, for those wondering), and two tabby cats. Put 'em all in a cage together, though, and bird TOTALLY wins. Fun, huh? You ( Read more... )

Blarg. Still no luck on the job front, fyi. Frustration levels reaching new peaks. Amusingly enough, I still have one scholarship waiting for me--the smallest one. I was originally told that I could take the money from it and use it for ANYTHING I wanted to (the lady who talked me through the app and award process mentioned she knew someone who ( Read more... )

So, now this is interesting. Mind you, my dad is a nurse for a regional center here in town, which is, in the most basic sense of things, a funny farm for minors. So, he spends a lot of time with kids who are SERIOUSLY fucked-up in the head. Pretty much every mental disorder that can be slapped on someone under the age of 18, he's had to deal ( Read more... )

Tomorrow night I leave for Anime Iowa! *bounces!* But, there's SO MUCH to do! I've got homework to prepare early for my French classes (it's not much, thank goodness), I've got to clean MY ENTIRE ROOM so my parents can paint it while I'm out (*hiss!* My room! No entry! *HISS!*), I've got to finish up my costumes (mostly Hotohori-sama, darn ( Read more... )

Just a couple more hours, and I'll be out of here, headed for prison the parents' place. I'll be back around 9:30-10-ish p.m. CST on the 30th. Happy Thankgiving to all of you out there, as well as assorted well-wishing for any important events that I may not see while I'm gone. Meanwhile, I've got to do some packing and cleaning. *makes a face*
