They used to dye chicks for Easter here, too. It's not conducive to chick longevity, but live chicks for Easter was always a sucky idea, neon colors or no.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I may regret saying anything....

Is that like having butterflies at a wedding? I attended one where the guest got little packages they were supposed to open at the end, and a lot of them were dead.

Except if you're lucky, the chicks grown up...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh man, there's a lot of TV that I at least thought about watching on tonight.

Jesse, are you saying that if we're lucky, the chicks get to grow up into happy Chicken Tenders, or that the party-goers are unlucky to find that their dyed baby chicks have miraculously grown into non-cute giant neon chickens?

That's what meant -- either they die (sad) or they grow big (not that great, actually). I mean, right?
ION, I just got my first pair (?) of Tweezerman tweezers, and holy crap, they really are amazing.

Driving CJ to his ARP meeting tonight, we saw Ecto-1 (or at least a very good remake). It crossed traffic while we were waiting on a red light, so I wasn't able to get a picture, but it made me giddy the rest of the drive.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've been watching many Attenborough specials where caterpillars get parasitised, and instead of a butterfly, instead a wasp emerges from the cocoon. I wonder how that would play at the wedding.
In conclusion, 15 YEARS IS BIG METAL CHICKENS.

I take it you're over the worst of the nausea? And hey, you're burning calories for two!
I am over the worst of the nausea, it seems, and THANK GOD. Not a moment too soon. ...Of course, as soon as I noticed that the nausea was abating, I started worrying that something had gone wrong, and in fact, was making myself so crazy imagining worst-case scenarios that I went and bought another home pregnancy test yesterday. Still pregnant, at least according to the test! Our first doctor's appt is this coming Monday, and I think if I make it through this weekend with my sanity intact, I'll call it a win.
