How dare you insult Kerfuffle Bunny?! What are you, some kind of Nazi? Sheesh. I feel like I'm back in high school and the cool kids won't let me enjoy my Kerfuffle Bunny.

DJ, Love the finished sketch, although I am somewhat amused by the position of the snake's fangs, like it's about to nip the breast.

Teppy, Harvey is sitting here purring his little heart out for you. It must be for you, because he got up off of Daniel to come purr while sitting on the computer, and he does not do that just for me.

Also, if it is a giant alien baby with teeth, we will welcome him with open arms and you will get all sorts of hand-me-downs so you won't need to worry about clothing it. Plus, think of all the money you'll get from SciFi cheannel when they make "Midwestern Alien Baby" the #1 cable movie next year.

How much do I love Buffistas? I'm not sure whether the tears in my eyes are from laughter or because I'm just so damned touched at how much love there is in Bitches today.

GO TEAM DILDO ULTRASOUND!!

This is so wrong on so many levels, and yet so right. Much gyn~ma to all and sundry.

Also, what is UP with all the cystiness??? Were women in the past having all these cysts? Or were they just pregnant all the time and not having these issues, or what?

What do you want to bet, they did have zillions of cysts, from which they suffered abjectly, and were further subjected to doctors saying "Pain? What pain? I don't feel a thing. Must be the Good Lord's judgment on sinful womanhood blah blah curse of Evecakes."

(((((Teppy))))) I'm sorry you had such a stressful day. I hope you can have a relaxing night with the Boy and lots of beer.

I am so nervous about the cyst thing. I have polycystic ovaries because I don't ovulate naturally, but none of the cysts have ever been large enough for concern or at all painful. Am I pretty much waiting for the other shoe to drop? My OB/GYN told me they were harmless, but I'm getting worried.

Coffee:

Laga, I think that this LOLCAT was made just for you.

OK, WTF is up with my body? I've been craving a donut for DAYS. Like, active, fantasizing cravings. And the worst? My bus ride to work takes me past at least 5 donut places, including BOTH Voodoo donut locations. There are exactly two Voodoo donut shops in the world. Every time i commute to or from work, i pass them BOTH. So wrong and unfair. So i went to the one closest to work on lunch break today and had a big ole nasty donut for lunch. It was fantastic.

Then found out my friend Liz had her baby today! All is well! He's a boy (Jonah) and 10.5 pounds. Holy big baby! Gonna go visit as soon as i get off work today, gonna pass on the whole "manadatory social time at the bar after work" today in favor of NEWBORN! And gotta figure out a way to get a mango margarita to the new mom....hrm...i wonder if i can find a mexican place who will sell me a margarita in a "to go" cup....it's for a good cause! SHe's been wanting one for 7 months and i doubt her parents have taken care of that yet!

Tep, I'm sorry about your health worries, I wish I could type more comforting or wiser words. I'm horrible with comforting. My way of comforting gay work boyfriend was to take him out for margaritas and make jokes.

2 side notes: 1) I was going to abbreviate gay work boyfriend and then realized the abbreviation would be, like, 6 levels of wrong. 2) I totally wasn't making jokes at his expense. We were joking together.

indeed. And is it just me or is the horse in the background pulling an Invisible Carriage?

mushroom caps:

I can't these appetizers I had last night off my mind. I went to the Italian American Club dinner and dance with Mom & Dad at their retirement community. They served these mushroom caps stuffed with pureed mushroom and something that made them crispy on top like twice baked potatoes. Mom says the caterer buys them at Costco! They were om nom nom to the nomth degree.

Back from doctor. No infection, just Eustachian Tube Dysfunction from my cold/allergies (it's probably both, lucky me). I'm to take double the dose of claritin, push fluids, use saline nasal sprays, etc. until I feel better.

I also have a referral for an ultrasound to find out if I have fibroids and whether they're severe enough to cause problems if we decide to have another kid. (My understanding is that unless they're VERY severe, they generally wait to treat until you've completed your family, because the treatments themselves can impact fertility and/or the ability to carry a pregnancy to term.)

Anyway, my NP was going over how it works, the whole full bladder, internal and external ultrasound, etc. When she got to the part about the internal, I said, "Yes, as my friends call it, the dildocam."

I knew she wasn't the type to be shocked or offended, but I was a bit surprised at how hard she laughed. Seriously, that's the closest I've had anyone to literally ROTFL in ages.
