"This week, your uterus is the size of a grapefruit!" and so on until they run out of common citrus fruits and suddenly "This week, your uterus is the size of a soccer ball!"
Pomelo is the week between grapefruit and soccer ball, no?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ita!

The last pomelo I saw was about the size of a soccer ball... (there's a several week gap between grapefruit and soccerball, mind, and the books aren't sophisticated enough for all that fancy stuff, else we'd have durian week and perhaps even breadfruit.)

My silliest Xmas gift was striped cookie monster toe-socks. Yes, Nutty, I'm lookin' at YOU. They make me smile, but feel funny to wear.
Happy birthday to ita and those I've missed in the last few days. We seem to have a lot of end/beginning you the year birthdays.

What is even happening?
At forty weeks, your uterus is the size of a soccer field. Or feels like it.

I was mostly kidding, just because I've recently learned what a pomelo is, after being totally freaked out in the grocery store.
And I got many gifts from friends this summer when I lost my job, both tangible and not, which I appreciated a great deal. On a more shallow note, I got a lovely necklace for Christmas.

Oh, I figured, but I'd been thinking of pomelos when I listed the various things leading up to soccer balls, on account of just how huge the ones I saw two days ago were.
The were serious pomelos. Bigger than my head, literally.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What, no canteloupes?
Yes, Nutty, I'm lookin' at YOU.
Hey. Toe-socks are the wave of the FUTURE. The sad part is, I hunted high and low, and they don't make toe-socks for men. They don't even make regular stripey socks for men. What is that all about? Men have to expend all their clothing creativity on their boxer shorts, and may not express anything goofy in clothing that will be displayed to the outside world.
Glad to know the package arrived.
Happy birthday to ita. In her honor, I promise to stop fantasizing about giving her gurlie-elf boyfriend wedgies.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The best gift I got was an outpouring of love and support after my accident. True, the wedding rocked, but knowing all these people cared about me and my well-being? That was wonderful.
