Yeah, for most of the last two years, my niece hasn't had a period, so didn't think about missing one. But I too am a bit agog at those folks who have unprotected sex and don't spend the next however-long-until-period panicked that they got pregnant.

I may be a little gun-shy - I think I was one of about 5 girls in my high school class who hadn't been pregnant by the time we graduated.

So perhaps you'll understand my feeling of betrayal, of revulsion, at this news

I'm confused...Bush has like a 35% approval rating, closer to Nixon's at impeachment than to Clinton's during the Lewinsky stuff. Why would you want someone that unpopular to throw your pitch?

I went to Fluevog's web site to get pictures of the shoes I bought yesterday. A less attractive than they are in person pciture is here: [link] (I decided to use my jury duty money on something frivilous but necessary)

The company is now making wedding shoes (or at least marketing shoes as wedding wear): [link] I can't figure out why that seems kind of wrong to me. I like the men's shoe a lot though.

Cheerios:

ZenKitty, you and your hair look FAB! Great cut!

Since I'm probably the only one around, I will flickr-spam with Mal photos. It was nice enough yesterday to plat outside, so we took the ball into backyard. Mallory was traumatized: every time he touched the ground he recoiled in horror. I had to hold him while R tossed the ball to him. [link] [link] [link] [link]

ETA: Hi Perkins!

Raq, you must be pretty tall, based on where Mallory reaches when he's standing.

Cutiehead! Nice taste in shoes. Yes, we have that pair for Lillian (but she doesn't get them until her birthday).

PS, belated happy birthday to you, too. You end of Marchers are quite the crop!

Hi Raq! Cute pictures, but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all link to the same one.

Great pictures of Mal, Raq! The Evil Grass ones were quite amusing.

Zen, great hair on a very lovely and foamy 'fista.

Have headache. Knowing that they're tension doesn't make it easier to avoid or escape.

Sure enough, the last 3 links are all the same. Weird.

And now I can't remember exactly which pix I meant to link to...this one, for sure.

I'm 5'9", except according to State Dept, who swears I'm 5'5". And obese. And that obese rating was two years ago, when I was ~20 lbs lighter. @@ (But Mal looks really tiny in that photo. He seems bigger in my life).

I love the gecko Robeez! And I get so many comments on the Robeez here...mainly from Brits, but a lot of people seem to think they are great.

I thought that billytea might appreciate the materials I'm using to teach literacy to Grade 1 and 2...Penguin, Penguin

What wonderful pictures! What gorgeous buffistas and buffistlets. And lovely hair. Hmmm.....
