We interrupt the happy baby news for a weird.

I'm not sure if this website is legit, the Rapture Ready site.

[link]

It's an enthusiastic anticipator of when Jesus comes back and the lucky few will get to go nyah-nyah to our evil selves. The site includes the Rapture Index

[link]

which keeps tab on how close we are to the Big Event. I'm not sure if we're supposed to be rooting for big numbers or not.

I am juxtaposing Billytea's impending parenthood announcement with Sparky's. this is very funny.

Perkins suggested I announce here in exactly the same way I let her know (about the same time as bt wrote his announcement). Since there was no following that, I went with it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Without looking at the site (seen it before), I'm pretty sure Rapture Ready is a real site.

And there's a book! (not by them): Rapture Ready!: Adventures in the Parallel Universe of Christian Pop Culture (Hardcover)

That book looks cool.

Congrats Sparky!!

While I know I had it much easier than many women, I still puked in every public restroom while in Poland, and wasn't a happy camper.

If it's any help, I have also vomited in public restrooms in Poland, but, sadly, it was due to caffeine withdrawal and not pregnancy.

Now I've stumbled across the blog Stuff Christians Like

This post, which compares Bible translations to various G.I. Joe characters, is fun: [link]

You know, if someone is going to telecommute, it would be helpful if they read their fucking email once in a while.

My mom loves telling me about how she puked her way through Europe when pregnant with me. When K-Bug came home from her European trip and showed us a picture of the group at Versailles, mom had to point out where she had puked there too. Geee, thanks mom.

The supposed reason my mother has never been back to Juarez, a mere hour away, is due to her pregnancy with me.

hah! I bet my mom was in Juarez while pregnant with me (dad was stationed in El Paso when I was conceived and they went over to Juarez all the time). She hasn't mentioned getting sick there. Or sick at all with me. Supposedly I was the best one.
