Oh thank dog. Finally got my plane tickets for Christmas and Paris (in the spring). I hate figuring that stuff out and making decisions.
Out. For. A. Walk. ... Bitch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw another purple shirted woman. She's short-haired and dresses androgynously. The first purplesse was definitely a young hip alternative type. I try not to read too much into wardrobe choices, but both of them make me think it's a bit less likely they were coincidences.

That baby story sure is mind-bendy. And I will never get over the idea that women can go TO TERM and not notice they're pregnant. Not from all the stuff I hear from the pregnant women I know. They're either way atypical before the pregnancy or during or both, and I can't wrap my head around how much.

Willing suspension of disbelief?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not being aware of their bodies + having wonky cycles + massive denial is my guess

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Dude, you guys need to watch I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant >[link] It's amaaaaaazing.
Generally, it is due to one or more of the following:
1. Thought she was infertile
2. Was using birth control
3. Spotting
4. Erratic or mainly absent period most of the time
5. Large woman
6. Small baby
7. Fetus/placenta positioned in such a way you're not going to feel much movement
8. Some other medical condition to attribute the symptoms to.
That last one is a biggie.
So, like, this one woman was 41, had been trying for years to have a baby, recently had a gastric bypass, had always had irregular periods, and HOLY SHIT she just had a baby.
Love that show.

I was wearing a purple sweater today, but I didn't remember that I had a reason for wearing purple until after I'd already gotten dressed. A pretty significant portion of my clothes are purple already.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
The purple I own is linen and today I'm doing things that would do bad things to linen.
My dad is wearing a purple long-sleeved t-shirt today. Just by accident. While I kinda chuckled, I didn't tell him about the purple shirts today. Because he is somewhat homophobic (won't go out and beat anyone up or call them faggot, but will vote for Prop 8, for instance) because I've had the conversation with him many, many times and it's hopeless.
