what gift do you wish someone had brought you when you were in the hospital with your new baby?

The hospital was pretty well taken care of, it was the after that dinners for my freezer were most appreciated.

Though, a four foot panda bear was pretty awesome if for nothing else than freaking out the nursing staff.

Oh dear god who linked the Jeeves alarm clock? WANT.

ThinkGeek has it cheaper than HS: [link]

In case that's WANT in an actually gonna get it kinda way.

I've been wanting to post all week because I've wanted the hugs and hairpats. There's seriously not an area of my life that's not stressing me out so hard I want to sit down and have a good cry. But I don't want to sit and list them because I'd depress myself and probably would cry, and they don't love that in the workplace. So you'll all go ahead and take my word for it and make with the virtual love and strong liquor, si?

Another oh-so-not-a-morning-person here, btw.

Oh! I started life as an orphan, a child of the streets. Here on Skid Row! He took me in gave me shelter, a bed, crust of bread and a job. Treats me like dirt. Calls me a slob which I aaaaammmm...

I may have to buy the Jeeves alarm clock for my family's christmas gift exchange. It would be my worst violation of the $50 cap ever.

I cannot imagine living with someone who gets up before me and then helps me get up. Seriously, that's a fantasy I dream about sometimes, but in that wistful "world without shrimp" kind of way.

Believe me, I know how incredible it is. Just one of the many reasons I'm marrying that Girl.

So you'll all go ahead and take my word for it and make with the virtual love and strong liquor, si?

Yes, absolutely.

Man, it has been too long since I did Little Shop of Horrors.

Does it have to be human? Does it have to be mine?

Note: I did not play Seymour, that's just one of the most-often recurrent lines in my brain (too much vampire and werewolf fiction perhaps...)

And I get a little misty at that. I am so on the freakin' edge...

Praise all the Powers That Be for a 3-day weekend (even if Monday is an unpaid fulough day). I need to hide in my room with the blinds closed and whimper...except I have a midterm tomorrow, dammit...

I love the idea of a four foot panda (I was taken aback at first- don't all pandas have four feet?) but their apartment is so small I think that might be kind of mean. There's a balloon store on the way to the freeway I'll probabaly stop at if I can't think of something more original.

Totally this. What I most needed right after D was born was someone to cook and clean so I could concentrate on learning how to keep a newborn alive. (Without my mom there I think we all would have starved to death under a pile of ditrty laundry.)
