Non-washed-out picture of hair. Still Photoshopped to within an inch of its life.

I haven't seen you with bangs in a while, and I have to say - they work for you.

I painted a door 5 days before I had Em because it was dirty.

The next day I hosted 26 people for Thanksgiving dinner.

The pregnancy hormones, they are of teh strange.

Bite me, O 'Bot.

Bare your ass! I am so gonna leave a mark.

You *wish.*

My mom just puts filthy miniblinds in the bathtub to soak for an hour or two, and then rinses them off with the shower afterwards.

Mmmm... Tep threats!

Hey, Tep, I was thinking about your scar tonight.

Err.

You know, in a good way, because I think your scar is pretty cute.

But any how, my cousin-in-law just (in the last couple months) had full-on major back surgery for scoliosis that was in danger of crushing her organs, so my F-i-L was showing us the pictures of her whole-torso scar, and it made me think of you.

JZ, when I was on full-on Pelvic Rest, I too had Sex Dream Guilt. So, you know, I offer my extreme sympathies.

OH! And there's a bedrest support org. I think it's called Sidelines. If you want to check it out, because BEDREST SUCKS.

Hey all. Back from the hospital again.

S is back on the upturn, though still not what you'd call better. She's certainly doing better than she was last night. Still in the ICU. Hopefully tomorrow they'll move her back out again. If everything goes amazing, they may let her out tomorrow, but we're thinking Friday is more likely.

I had Sex Dream Guilt even without being on bedrest, because I was worrying all on my own about premature labor and because I wasn't having much fun during actual sex while pregnant (I like to be able to do things like move around and breathe during sex).

Otherwise, JZ, your rant sounds EXACTLY like how I felt this time in my pregnancy, but I didn't have the excuse of medically mandated bedrest.

Sean, that's cautiously good news. I'm so sorry you guys are going through this. Vibing for a good strong recovery for S.

ETA: And it's a measure of how battered I'm feeling by the last couple of months that rather than being happy they caught the guy who killed JonBenet Ramsey, I'm almost crying for her poor parents who had to go through all that.

Call me.

A's are 6.5 up on the AL West. I've been reading the Mariners blog for amusement. It's filled with deeply bitter and snarky fans. It's not even schaudenfreude - I like the M's okay. It's not like they're the Yankees. But their total butt-monkeyness to the A's this year is almost unprecedented. They've lost 15 in a row. If you throw out their record against the A's, the Mariners are a winning team and the A's aren't in first.

Reminds me of Susan.

Yanks aren't so bad.
