a little -no, a lot- of baby~ma and good care~ma and another couple of weeks~ma would be very appreciated for one of my best friends. She's been trying for a long time, her water broke waaay early, and she's now on bedrest in the city hospital, several hours from home. Any suggestions on ways to entertain/distract her also welcome here or at my profile addy.

There were shenanigans with United, but I am back in Chicago and at work. And, of course, I was told upon arriving at the office that I need to have a documentation project finished by July.
So. I'll be dark gray for a while.

Mea culpa to many buffistas. I joined WAYN on the insistence of a friend, and didn't realize it was sending out an invite to EVERYONE ON MY DAMNED CONTACTS LIST.
Including many, many Buffistas, and WORK CONTACTS.
I'm really sorry. I just did it to get a friend off my back about joining (she's a stewardess.)

Just as a related heads-up to Erin's post, there's another site out there that does the same thing called reunion.com. My daughter's e-mail contacts got hijacked by it, too.

thanks for everyone's good wishes for my friend! Baby was born this morning and is doing very well so far.

Trust my rage
so, it seems that I'm always nursing these days and never have free hands to actually type. Lots of lurking, though.
Anyway, I'm looking into buying an Amby Baby Hammock and I seem to remember someone on this board using it or trading one or something. If I get one, I need to have it before I head back to PR so I'm looking for some fast input.
(I'm not sure this is Beep Me-worthy, but I'm thinking the F2F is this weekend so I wanted people to actually see this.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Anybody doing this twitter thing? I'm TheScrap if you want to hunt me down.

~ma please.
Flying back to San Diego today since Dad is in the hospital. Just got a call from my sister. Apparently it's cancer. I don't really have more details than that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
After a couple months of drama and things being up in the air, it's confirmed: my husband's accepting a transfer, and we're moving to southeast Washington State.
My favorite part of this is that my current job has agreed to let me stay on long distance, so beginning some time in August, I'll be telecommuting from home. YAY.
And speaking of home, we have an offer in on a house today, and we would really really like it. House-ma through this evening would be appreciated.
