I'm not on FB, I didn't get the invite.
That said, I have no problem with discussion here. I think the whole thing is a 24-hour wonder. Tomorrow, we'll be on to something else.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a bagel with cream cheese this morning that was AMAZING. Possibly just because I was so hungry, but seriously, I want like five more bagel sandwiches now.
2nd trimester FTW!
Man, I remember so well that transition from sobbing uncontrollably because I thought I'd never be able to enjoy food again to EATING ALL THE THINGS. Good times, good times.
Sort of relatedly, Dylan has out of the blue begun asking all sorts of questions about where babies come from. He never showed the least bit of interest when I was pregnant, so I have no idea where this is coming from.
So far I've explained that Mommies have lots of eggs inside them and sometimes one can grow into a baby (sorry menfolk, your contribution to the process will wait until he's actually asking about sex). Then he asked if I was going to have any more babies and I told him that two was enough for me (because even though he's a big boy he will always be my baby, etc), at which point he got very concerned and asked "But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

CRAZY TALK!!!1!
(I saw someone on twitter the other day bemoaning the fact that people don't put 1s in their !!!s anymore. So I thought I'd help bring it back.)

Also, I don't think there's a bar.
Office party FAIL.
Come and work for Auntie Beeb. Our holiday parties always have a bar. Food tends to be an afterthought.

I had a frustrating morning, so I bought a maple bacon biscuit at the coffee place around the corner. It was pretty nom.
I'm sorry about the frustrating morning, and I support your choice in making it better, which I hope it did.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got the facebook love this morning as well.
I wonder what it was about us attracted Gus to begin with. Were we giving off a particular rube-vibe?

Oh, Jess, that reminds me I sort of have a work question for you. Will insend.

Because books.
so I have no idea where this is coming from
Maybe now that Aeryn is REAL, and he's that much older, he just wanted to know if more babies would be forthcoming. I love his worry. Cutiehead.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
"But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"
"Then it will be your turn to make the babies, honey!" (No? Too soon?)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
at which point he got very concerned and asked "But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"
It might be as well to have a contingency plan in place.
