A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

For some reason, the USGS map is coloring the quake as having happened within the last day, instead of the last hour, as these have happened, but apparently there were a pair of 7.0 or so earthquakes off the coast of northern California.

I'm back from my trip around the world! But, um, y'all wrote a lot while I was gone (shocking, really. So unexpected.) So, hi!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
if there's any spare health~ma lying around, could you direct it my mom's way? she went in for a mammogram about a week and a half ago. they called her yesterday and want her to come back in because they saw a "shadow" on the x-ray.

x-post w/Bitches
I just placed an order on Cafe Press, and can send $5-off coupons to my friends. Anyone interested? Shoot me an email (or just say it in Bitches) in the next hour or so (looks like up to 5 friends).
(Health-ma to your Mom, tiggy. Peace-ma for you).

The first half of my pictures are up! Sadly, Flickr told me I can't upload anymore just now. So no pictures of Fay, yet. But Billytea! And pretty mountains! Australia and New Zealand, right here. Vietnam and Egypt still to come.

Well, apparently, Bats Likes Babies.
I mentioned in Bitches a while back that friends had hired me as their birth assistant. My first live and in person birth!
Our due date is June 28. Last night I said,"Let's go see Batman Begins."
At just about the part where the Tumbler makes its debut, major contractions set in.
From first pangs to baby in the arms...4 hours. For a first baby? That's pretty incredible.
Moishe Ben was born at home, in the comfort of his parent's bed. Mom took not one grain of any medication at all. She was so strong and so brave. (Helped in no small part by laboring in a hot tub and having the world's most wonderful, practical, realistic and knowledgable midwives)
Dad exceeded every expectation of valor and strength and good humor I could have hoped for him.
The baby is wide-eyed and beyond gorgeous. Seriously. No grossness at all. I was surprised.
After two hours of fitfull sleep, I'm back on the job, cleaning, cooking and in-general, admiring.
No ~ma needed. Just a huge prayer of gratitude and thanks offered up.
By the way, as we were racing home from the theatre, we all agreed that what we saw of BB was the best Bats movie any of us had ever seen. (Guess I'm gonna have to head back to the theatre next week. Hee.)
