Before I forget, here is a (not very good) picture of Joe and I: [link]
Are you smoking the blinding crack, Stephanie? You both look so very happy. And you in that dress? Who would believe you just had a baby a few months ago. You're all slender-curvy-goodness. Joe in his formal dress uniform? thunk
Ellie, of course, is so very beautiful that there are no words. The child won the gene pool lottery. /mistress of the obvious
Deena, I'm glad the colonoscopy was clear. I am sorry you have to have the upper G.I. series. I hope everything is okay.
All the best on the job front to Maidengurl's dh and Calli.

Cass, is it time to go to the doctor? I hope you get better, soon.
Hey, Bitches, are any of you (except for Cashmere, who I'll be working on) not watching Veronica Mars?
If not, did you try it and not like it, or never get around to it? I didn't start watching it last year, because the name and concept just didn't appeal to me. I'll admit to being intrigued, because enough of my online friends seemed to be getting very into it. People kept telling me to watch. I kept saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." I did tune in once or twice, and while I didn't think it was bad at all, it didn't grab me enough to make me remember to watch.
When Joan of Arcadia (*sniff*) didn't get picked up last Spring, I started thinking about giving it a serious go, because really, all that was going to be on my TV slate was 24, and that doesn't start 'til January. By the end of last TV season or maybe even during the summer, my friends who watched it really turned up the pimping heat. I started TiVoing reruns, but didn't watch any of them, because Scott and I were doing our big Buffy full series rewatch, and it was so nice to have my girl back.
tiggy sent me the DVDs for VM season 1. We were still watching Buffy though, and were catching up on Lost. We got into Lost enough, that I had strong doubts as to whether or not I would bother with VM season 2. I wasn't going to be Mistress Ingratitude to tiggy though, because she was so sweet to send me the episodes. Similarly, Debet had sent me 2.01 which had been accidentally deleted from my TiVo (because I didn't bother to change it to "keep until I delete"), so I knew I'd at least watch that far.
One night, Scott caught a VM rerun, and finally showed some interest in watching. He hadn't cared about giving it a go before--another factor which contributed to my apathy toward VM. He got interested right when were were in about the middle of BtVS s7, and that season does tend to drag a person down. We needed distraction, so one night, we decided to start VM, right from episode 1.01.
I am so sorry I didn't watch this show from the get-go. I liked the pilot and early episodes enough that it was no hardship to continue, but it was just a TV show. Then, somewhere around the middle of season 1, it just grabbed me and Scott. Hard.
It's so smart. The episodes are so dense. I can't believe how much happens in every episode. I was trying to write up some stuff about last week's episode, and couldn't fit it all (and you all know I have no problem making long posts). Now I just want to grab every person I encounter and say, "Are you watching? Well, you just must. That's it. Go home and watch." And I figured if I am going to be grabbing people, I ought to start with my Bitches.
