my pants are digging into my waist.

I HATE it when this happens! I just recently bought this really cute dressy outfit - black lined linen pants & matching tank top that have beads and embroidery on it. The zipper DIGS INTO MY SIDE when I'm sitting down. After one time wearing it my skin was red and irritated.

HATE!

(btw does anyone have a remedy to help fix this problem?)

Dress nekkid? I'm not helping, am I?

Even his off-speed stuff is pretty damn fast, yes?

Yeah, his changeup is almost as fast as Zito's fastball.

I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, and I'm no closer to knowing what I want to have done than when I sat down here two hours ago. Guess I'll just get a trim.

Quitter!

I give up. I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, and I'm no closer to knowing what I want to have done than when I sat down here two hours ago. Guess I'll just get a trim.

I just had to reschedule a hair appointment that took me over a week to arrange (getting someone to watch Owen during the day is hard). My sister is coming for a visit so she was going to watch him. But she called me today saying she didn't get any sleep last night and didn't want to drive four hours tonight. So she's coming in the morning (which means she'll be here around noon).

I'm hatehatehating my hair because the gray is coming in on the roots and I need color and I'm dithering about pregnancy/hair color issues and feeling like a complete slob.

Dress nekkid?

I'm way too modest for that, but if everyone had to, then sure. On the other hand, it could be the most psychologically damaging day of my life. It's a flab thing.

Why would you put something on your lips that hurts?

Because it tingles and I like the taste. Same reason I eat spicy foods.

My pants dig into me because I'm a wee bit rounder than I was when I got them.

We're doing this weight loss thing at work and I haven't lost, I feel bloated and yucky and today I get a call from my HMO saying I'd never scheduled an appt with the nutritionist for the referall I asked for and could I come in on the 4th for some kind of class thing.

So I'm going in, hopefully this will help kick start me.

When I lost 7 lbs in one week I cut out most of my salt intake, cut out all simple sugars & drank A LOT of water. You could try that.

Cindy, I tried your ham and butter sandwich today. SWEET LORD. I never knew a sandwich could taste so good! Last night I also tried a bite of my friend's escargot. I am sad to report I couldn't get it down, and had to spit it into my napkin.

It's not mine. I've never had it. I'm thinking from Nora's reaction that maybe it was her sandwich. I have eaten roast beef and butter though, which is good, too.

My hairdresser said that the cap was fine. If highlights will disguise your grey, you might want to try it. My OB wouldn't even give the thumbs up for the cap, because (a) He knows I'm a chicken, and; (b) He said why bother, it's only 9 months.

Easy for him to say. He looked 12. A little grey might have made me not feel like I was getting an internal from my lab partner.

I've mentioned that my OB is a woman with kids who bleaches her hair, right?

No shit was given to me. I asked!

I did use low-chemical tints from the second trimester on (henna for the first tri), but the grey didn't really get to see the light of day, not even for nine months.
