Fay, that is a fabulous cut, and I can't believe those amazingly cute pictures were taken by a phone! You are utterly rocking the angled bob.

(((vw))) Thanks so much for the update, Emily.

Oh, what the heck. (((Emily)))

eta: vw herself! So glad you're back home, and so sorry your body is going all ferwonky.

It seams that the triage nurse decided I was crazy or something and didn't let the doctor's in the back know that there was a patient in the waiting room having seizures. My friend Allison, who was with me, bless her heart, kept letting them know that I was getting worse, and they just didn't really care.

Once I got in the back, though, to the actual ER I was treated wonderfully. They decided it was probably a low dilantin level that caused the seizures, so they pumped me full of drugs and sent me home with strict instructions to follow up with my neurologist immediately. I've got a call into him.

vw, I'm so glad to see that you're home. Take care and be good, okay?

I'm gonna try. Thanks, guys. It really means so much to know I have such a great, supportive group of friends and family. It makes getting through this worthwhile.

and the girl's says "zoe, la pirate". SO CUTE.

OMG my friend's new baby girl Zoe needs that so very badly. I don't suppose they come in teeny baby size do they? (She's only just about 4 lbs and her main, well only, outfit so far has been a little wrap shirt 1/2 onesie thing with super long sleeves and a diaper and a swaddling blanket and little cotton cap.) She and her brother (piratically named Jack) got to come home from the hospital yesterday! I was writing a song for them in the car this morning. It went sort of like

Bumble bumble bee, bee/Bumble bumble bee Panda panda bear bear/Panda panda bear Chimpan chimpanzee zee/Chimpan chimpanzee

I hope they like it!

{{vw}} and libkitty too! I was so sorry to hear about your church.

Spring day memory: I can't think of a specific one but Easters at my grandparents was emblematic of my childhood springtimes. One of my favorite parts (aside from all the candy, natch, and the pretty dresses) was taking a family portrait in front of the statue in the park across from my grandparent's house. I thought the statue was of a family ancestor. Probably because that's what my grandad and uncles told us.

Looking forward to: My drummer's wedding in a couple of weeks. There will be a mariachi band and a pinata and she will be happy and beautiful and that will be wonderful to see.

I have no specific spring memory, but I am looking forward to going to London and Scotland tomorrow!

Tomorrow! Have a wonderful time Nora. You know that we'll be hungry for pictures. But mostly looking forward to hearing tales of a lovely vacation for you and Tom.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'm so sorry that on top of all the body betrayal crap you have to deal with insensitive asshats.

thanks Laura!

note to self: pack camera.

I had actually forgotten about that.
