FTR, no real plans to give birth unless Life really surprises me in some fantastic way, but I do know there's no Instant Gestate.

more's the pity

thanks to the IUD, I don't really get a period any more.

Blessed, blessed IUD and the no period thing!! I don't freak out about pregnancy scares because I think I'd know the early signs by now. DH will be going in for a vasectomy next year, though, just in case.

Mornings got a lot easier when I got an automatic drip coffee maker.

Yeah, I know.

Heh. Well, see, when one decides to taper down one's Zoloft dose, the most common side effects are: (1) nausea, (2) dizziness, and (3) mood swings.

And I started tapering down my Zoloft 2 weeks ago, so you can imagine my happyfun paranoia.

Blessed, blessed IUD and the no period thing!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

How do you deal with your ample bosom in that situation?

I usually do it without a bra and just shunt them to either side of the knee.

I am going to see Nanci Griffith tonight at the botanical gardens. I have been pretty lucky with the weather on most outdoor concerts, but with Nanci Griffith, it's always raining or threatening to rain, and today is no exception. Or I fall in the koi pond. Anyway, this is what the garden says now about chairs:

Any patron sitting in a chair with legs that are taller than a basketball, or with a seat-back that is higher than one's shoulder-blades, will be asked to move to the side of the lawn so as to not obstruct anyone's view.

WTF? Amazingly enough, I don't keep a basketball around for measurement purposes. The seat of the more comfortable of my portable chairs is roughly 14 inches off the ground. The internets tell me that a standard basketball has a 9" diameter.

my happyfun paranoia.

Good times! You could construct a Ren-and-Stimpy-style cartoon around Happyfun Paranoia, maybe? Seriously, that must suck, and I'm sorry.

In continuing motorcycle news, I think I may be able to buy a helmet tonight instead of running around tomorrow morning before riding lessons. Which, awesome. Unfortunately, I'm dressed for the heat and for javachik's birthday dinner (whee!), which means tight tank top, velvet jacket, shortish skirt with a slit, and my very favoritest Steve Madden high heeled sandals (all black, of course). So very inappropriate for riding, and therefore I feel weird even walking into a shop. I'll get over it, but still. Eeeek!

I do know there's no Instant Gestate.

I kinda think that's a blessing, if it keeps the idiot population down. Maybe we could have a Buffista Instant Gestate?

sj, I giggled at TCG's coffee mishap. Sorry!

Don't be sorry. It's funny. It will be even funnier when TCG finds out how much it costs to replace the tea kettle.
