bonny, the National Geographic has FROGS. The natural history museum has the butterfly pavilion, but they charge for entrance to that ($5 I think). But the gemstone section is free! you can look at the Hope Diamond.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm stopping caffeine and started cold turkey. Feels like I'm dying. I may not hold out all day.
I had to ease out of it. I eliminated the coffee but kept the tea. Now I am drinking green tea and get almost no caffeine. I was having chest pains and they have pretty much stopped.
I still miss my coffee. After a bit I might have some decaf now and again.

Lovely. speaking of what not to drink (well, ... sorta): "no standards to test for drugs in water"

I tell anyone who visits DC not to drink the tap water. I don't - haven't for years.
eta: but do they listen? noooooo

We're on the second plane. They're going to make me turn off the internet soon.

I broke down and got a short vanilla latte at the break (I'm in class). NOM NOM NOM!

Caffeine should probably be weaned off slowly if you can. Yay, latte.

GC, I didn't stop drinking coffee when I was trying to get pregnant (good thing too as it took 2 years of trying), but I did go down to one v. small cup in the mornings and that was it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I thought cutting out caffeine was going to be unbearable, but it turned out to be quite easy, if only because well into my second trimester a mere whiff of coffee was enough to make me gag; the gagging eased up by 5-6 months, at which point the doctor said it was fine to have one or two small cups a day if I wanted.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I only cut out caffeine entirely when I was put on bedrest. I was tremendously sleepy, but that was probably mostly the bp meds.
In the past few weeks, I have, for the first time since AB was born, started to really want to have another kid. Need to figure out if we really want to, can afford to, etc. soon, what with me being 37 now...
