So far Portland seems to be that guy you meet by chance at a bar.
He's cute but doesn't completely take it for granted. So the smile is genuine even though he knows it totally works.
And when he leans in to whisper (okay, it's a bar, he's not whispering but it doesn't seem like shouting at the time either), there is that moment you can smell his neck and cologne and you want to just breathe it in for a while.
So you talk for a while and maybe there's a little more giggling then you care to admit and perhaps he's a little too eager to buy you another drink. But there is flirting and it just kinda feels good.
Basically, I would totally give Portland my number.
Sounds like you'd go home with Portland.
Portland's the kind you wind up marrying, and the sex is good, too.
Portland is totally the Mary Sue of mid-sized American cities.
So I totally skimmed. I've been busy.
Thanks, everyone for the well wishes. The new baby girl is so cool. She looks like her brother (and I will have photographic evidence up as soon as the camera recharges and I can upload).
For now, we're all trying to get some rest in the chaos. It's a good chaos, but it's chaos. We're healthy and the delivery was not that bad--definitely shorter than Owen's.
We're working on the nursing thing and I'm hoping it gets more comfortable to sit pretty soon.
Frozen maxipads help, or so I'm told.
(I just stuck an icepack down my pants and called it good.)
Yay, girl!
Ice is good. Donut pillows, also good.
Chocolate donuts, even better.
Cashmere! *smootch* Welcome home.
Ice packs are definitely of the good.
Cashmere! Yay! Welcome home! Yay!
ION, I am awake at this ungodly hour, because I have class at 8:15am. Yay for class! Boo for class meeting time! Must shower soon.
So I totally skimmed. I've been busy.
Cashmere, with what? My grandmother told my mother that, and I quote, "Some women just have a few cramps and out the baby comes."
ducks.
Well, she did say that.
So good to see you again. Glad you are doing ok.
Hey, Cash! Glad to see you home, again. Hope that ice helps. I'm sure the endorphins released by the chocolate donuts would help, too.
IOmeN, I left my leftovers in the car last night. Good thing the temp is around freezing.
