Perkins, email me the specifics of theater and time.

Deena, a tiara shouldn't be a source of stress. I'm sure that your recipient understands, and wouldn't want you to worry about it.

Maidengurl, your helper from Boise is probably wondering how to get out of work today because the weather is do damn beautiful here. Or maybe that's just me.

ETA: Not terrified of parachuting, but never would. They used to land out in the same place where we'd practice launches and landings for hang gliding, and I would wonder why they'd bother -- all that sitting around and waiting for a jump when they could be actually flying? Silly.

Empress - pregnant or parachuting? - cause you were one of them....

Um...neither. Although I did forget to take my pill this morning. And maybe I was parachuting cause I'm going to the wedding this weekend and it's bound to be full of shit??

Pregnancy vs. Parachuting.

Well, parachuting is finished in under an hour. One way or another. (Probably faster if its another.) On the other hand, you don't finish a parachuting run with a brand new person.

I've been thinking of doing the sky-diving thing again, minus the broken coccyx. Which makes me think that a nice padded diaper wouldn't be such a horrible idea.

Hmm...

So jealous of Perkins, Sparky and Suzi going to see Serenity together. I wanna go.

Hammock seems like something they should think about using because of the space issues that will arise from having to have 2 of everything.

They do make crib inserts to keep tiny infant twins in one crib. It's easy to do while they're tiny if space is an issue. But yeah, I can't imagine two bouncy seats, two car seats, two exersaucers...man, am I glad I'm having a single.

Hmm, I've been pregnant and I've jumped out of an airplane, and as much as I hated the parachuting, I'd do it again before being pregnant again.

Not real big on the adult diaper, though.

Today was a big Serenity-fest. A stateside friend sent us the comics, and Robert and I turned out to have bought the RPG for each other. Still haven't seen the movie, so I'm not sure we can read the game, though.

And she's really adamant about "BABY STUFF will not take over the house!" But I think she's delusional. She'll learn soon enough.

The whole thing is pretty hard to wrap the brain around! This friend having kids is the closest I can come to having them myself without actually being one of the parents. If that makes sense. We're very involved in each other's lives. I was totally going to get the third one if she ended up carrying triplets!

Another day, another job application. <sigh>

This is one of those days that I feel like saying, "Screw the professional goals," and taking one of the regular job openings at my local coffee house. The dress code's flexible, one of my usual expenses would be comped, and I usually like the music they play.

Probably no bennies, though. I think I'd miss health insurance.

When I was pregnant with Ben, a co-worker was expecting--and was a few months ahead of me. She was an older first-time mother, and she and her husband had tried for years. She'd endured a few miscarriages, and was completely overjoyed by pregnancy, in general. One day, the topic of all the stuff that seems to follow a baby, came up in conversation.

Now, because she and her dh had been married, working professionals for so long, they were set in their ways. She kept an immaculate home, and was stylish, and pretty cool, too. She was certain her home would not be inundated with baby stuff.

I missed seeing her months later, when I brought Ben in my old office for a visit. I asked my old boss if friend had been right, and she laughed, and laughed, and laughed.

Oh I know. My friend is not like an obsessive cleaner or anything but she does like things to be arranged in her living space in very specific ways. She is a really good organizer though so that might help some.
