I accidently went to the gym three days in a row after months of not going to the gym. Today was hard, with the added joy of a hot flash ( I get occassional ones at 43- whee)
I went to the grocery store. I have all kinds of food. I can't decide what to have for lunch.
I could use some help calming down. I've been crying for about a half hour. I know I've got distortions going on, but I keep seeing evidence that they're true. I'm frustrated. And Toto can tell, so he keeps getting all worked up and barking at every little thing, which is just making me more tense. Normally, I'd try to get out of the house, but it's too cold.
Hugs VW. Can you distract yourself? Turn on brain candy tv that always makes you happy? Do jumping jacks?
Ironically, William is actually a workable family name for us...
See, and I was going to post William as a placeholder for young Stilgar's first name(instead of [name]), but I didn't want to be presumptuous.
Okay, how about Giles, then?
I'd like an informal Bitch polling here -- should one avoid giving a kid a really weird middle name even if you really like it? Not "Moon Unit" or "Apple" weird, but, um, fictional. From a genre universe. Slightly more obscure than "Frodo" but only just. (And not actually LotR, but you get the idea.)
Clovis would not be a weird middle name. IJS.
Speaking as someone who's middle name is the melding of two relatives' names AND who had her parents tell everyone for years that her middle name was actually Veg-O-Matic, I see no harm in odd or weird names.

I've got some of my favorite music on and am drinking something really cold to try to shock my system (which, really, is just making me more cold). I'm trying not to take a break from my schoolwork, but I think I might need to. I can go watch some tv for a while and work on the quilt.
Aw, vw, sorry. What usually helps you calm down and focus--DVDs? A mug of tea? Meditation? Exercise? Do whatever it takes.
Plus the tech is usually great about pointing things out so you can see what's going on the geeky part of me likes that stuff.
Me too. I lurves the u/s tech at my OB's office.
Oh and FTR, I thought the most painful part of childbirth was THE CHILDBIRTH. Then again, that might have been because of the vacuum extractor.
We picked middle names based on 1) we like them and 2) they sounded good with the first name.
