It was a lot easier for us to come up with girl's names than boy's names. When I was pregnant the first time, we had one boy's name (guess) and a couple variants for a girl. Took us a good chunk of the pregnancy to settle on Frances Lucy once we knew we were having a girl. We got a chance to use the boy's name soon enough.
I am preoccupied today. My MiL is getting some important test results back today. Neither option is good--how do you choose between radiation poisoning or brain tumor? And yet I am praying for radiation poisoning. That's crazy right? But it would mean no more treatments and long term better news.
Damn.
Old Navy Shooting: Chicago Downtown Store Locked Down, Two DEAD
CHICAGO — Police in Chicago say two people were shot to death in an apparent murder-suicide at the Old Navy clothing store in the heart of the city's Loop retail corridor.
Chicago Police Officer spokesman John Mirabelli says details are sketchy about Friday's shootings but that it appears the deaths were part of a domestic dispute.
I was just there, um... a month ago.
They're evacuating Times Square. Here's hoping for an overreaction to nothing at all.
I read they found a "suspicious package."
Huh. Coroner: Metra chief's death 'appears to be a suicide'
The death of Metra executive director Philip Pagano, struck by a Metra train this morning, "appears to be a suicide," the McHenry County coroner says.
Pagano -- under investigation for financial irregularities -- appeared to walk in front of the train just west of Terra Cotta Road on Hillside Road in Crystal Lake at about 8:10 a.m., sources say.
He was anti-roller coaster so there wasn't much point in taking him to the one in Santa Cruz. But peer pressure has gotten to him. I expect he'll probably enjoy it and become a fan. But Emmett's never had a problem forming strongly held opinions with no basis in personal experience.
I was anti roller-coaster at Emmett's age, got peer-pressured into finally going on one and I hated it. As soon as I felt well enough to stand once it was over, I clocked the guy who'd talked me into it in the head.

That's, um, poetic.
Also seriously fucking jackholish, since he's well placed to understand how that just fucks the train operaters right up.
God, seriously. Ugh. I mean, sad. But ugh.
They're evacuating Times Square
Fucking what NOW?
Old Navy Shooting
I may never leave the house again. Is anyplace safe? /rhetorical
In re: rollercoasters, I am Jessica. Although I didn't hit the guy. I did tell my mom about him grabbing my boobs, though. I am a total wuss about rollercoasters. Even the little ones scare me.
