Hil, that story about your friend is incredible. Few months ago, I really confused an American friend thinking that because I'm Ashkenazi, I'll be blond. Umm, NSM, and I'm 100% Ashkenazi. Grandparents from Poland, Germany, Hungary and England (and I also have a British citizenship).
Emily, where would you be in Egypt?
Also, I'm going to have my wisdom tooth pulled out tomorrow. ~mas would be greatly appreciated, I'm a little bit scared about it.
Also also, omnis is awesome and gonna send me bake goods. That totally makes up for Stupid People today.
Night, all.
Don't be nervous about the mamm--it's uncomfortable, all right, but only for very short stretches. I find it helps to concentrate on how space-age and complex and cool the machine is, but then I'm a big geek.
I found that the boobie smashing wasn't that bad, but the machine pressing against your sternum hurt like a bitch.

No, this sounds like me. I'm all about - oooh, look at that. How does that work? What does that do? Even so, still kinda nervous. I also feel pathetic in the NGA way.
Can't comment on the mamm (though really, I should get on that) but wisdom teeth removal is not too scary. No fun, for sure, and you'll be tired out and taking some painkillers for a few days, but it usually isn't any worse than that.
The mamm hurts those of us with less than bountiful boobies because there's not only squishing, there is stretching in order to get enough booby between the plates.
All right, time for me to go. Y'all have a lovely evening.
Whew. I have completed the one Christmas present I knew what I was doing! (Making a calendar on iPhoto for a friend, which involved scanning a bunch of old pictures and shit). Of course, then I realized I didn't have her address, so had to email her for that, so I haven't actually ORDERED it yet, but...
I'm so bad about shopping and getting Christmas presents. Argh.
Boobie~ma to Suzi.
YAY Sparky and DH! Lucky little Babyfras! That's fantastic, excellent, utterly wonderful news!
Also yay on making it through the sucktastic first trimester. I'm in complete awe of you making a first-trimester teaching trip to Poland. Between the nausea and the constant crushing exhaustion it's a real slog even for a non-world-traveler. I can't believe you went and taught on a whole other continent without just curling up in a ball and never moving again.
Quick drive by to say: Sparky1!!! Congrats! Lucky kid, getting you two as parents.
