Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Thanks!

I'm trying not to give myself a hard time. I made it to work three days this week. That's better than I've done in a long time. It's still frustrating, though. I wanted to make it all week.

Trust my rage

Timelies!

vw, I hope the migraine leaves quickly.

I have to add my two cents on the whole post-partum figure issue. In my case, I'm still 10 pounds heavier than when Ellie was conceived and 17 pounds heavier than I want to be. I know some of that is in my breasts and won't go away until I'm done breastfeeding (I hope!). Still, I look longingly at my old button down shirts that now gape in the middle if I put them on.

My bank's check company has Wizard of Oz checks! I must have them!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh. You should get checks for Toto too.

vw! I'm sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday - things kind of exploded at work the last couple of days. Expect an e from me later this morning.

No problem, Brenda. I figured something like that. Sorry I'm being a pest. I wanted to make sure my e-mails were going through.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I seem to be eating sugar-free fudge-covered graham crackers for breakfast. The codeine cough syrup said to take it with food. Which is to say, the instructions said to do that, as opposed to the narcotic drug talking to me. Narcotic, not hallucinogenic. Really.

Hmm, it may be time for me to turn myself bed-wards.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

As for what they need, a double stroller narrow enough to get through store doors would be top of my list. The wide ones look cool, but I've heard complaints about getting around with them.

Those bi-level ones look cool.... well, not completely double-decker, but the back kid is higher than the front kid and the stroler ends up shorter. Lemme see if I can find a pic.

Here's one!

I think it makes the whole contraption a little shorter and the kid in the back can see too.

Punishingly Intricate

Those bi-level ones look cool

I think my friend is actually looking at getting a racing model for her double strolling needs. Doo Doo Ironman

She plans to start running again after the babies get here. We used to train together. Since she hasn't run since she started trying to get pregnant (last Januaryish), supposedly I'm going to be in charge of pushing the stroller while she gets her running legs and lungs back. I really need to start doing some upper-body work! Although I think the thing with those strollers is that they practically push themselves. Super high tech!
