I had forgotten about the pregnancy rhinitis (obviously blocked it right out because it was such a misery).
I'd just like to take this time to observe that you were HAWT pregnant. Also, you had the kickingest maternity wear ever.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

I shudder to think what it would cost to replace my genealogy stuff. Granted, there's no way to replace the documents, photos, 20+ years of research time, but I'll take a coupld of K to soothe the anguish.

I think I insured $20K last time, P-C...and it was about $100/yr. Maybe it's more expensive in Cali because of earthquakes? Does it cover earthquakes? Or does that have a really low deductible?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, thanks, Emily! It was ridiculously hard putting that wardrobe together; there's tons of extremely expensive stylish maternity wear out there, and tons of cheap generic/ugly stuff, and it took some effort to hunt down things I could afford that actually felt like me.
The real hell is dressing the post-pregnancy in-between body. That's a big ball of no fun at all.

This is me, because "cheap" is something I like, and "generic" is something that makes it easy to get away with at work and apply to the fact that I'll have to wear it in 12 degree weather and 80 degree weather. And I have to cut everything down, so cheap and generic usually means this is easy to do because there's nothing but straight lines.

Oh, crap.
In better news, I just got to give the Dean news that won't make her day. I'm mad at her for how she handled a staffing issue and then pretended she couldn't do anything about it, when, being Dean, she damn well could have. So, I enjoyed being the bearer of bad news.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I got a quote for renters insurance. The woman said the average amount was for $30,000, which seemed like waaaay too much. Even $20,000 seemed like a lot, so she gave me a quote for $25,000. I have no idea how many dollars' worth of stuff I have. The quote she gave me was something like $279 a year ($23 a month), which seemed way higher than I thought it would be. I thought it was supposed to be cheap. I guess most of you insured for much lower than $25,000? I can't imagine I have that much stuff. Even with all my books and DVDs and comics, it's probably only in the four-digit range.
I'm insured for about $70,000 (it'll be more at the new place), with a deductible, it costs me about $250 a year. I'm thinking meara's probably right that it may well be higher for you because of earthquake risk.

It's a $500 deductible.

Goddammit, California.
I also learned LAST NIGHT that I have to get a new fucking smog check for my car before I can sell it. I hope it passes.
