sj, why is that bad? I am pregno-ignorant.

I'm on hold with unemployment, eighteen minutes and counting! In that time I folded a load and a half of laundry, opened my mail, and ate some rice pudding. Mmmm, rice pudding.

Looking for a job is depressing, yo. Especially when you don't know what you want to do, but you know it's not that, or that, or that, or dear god no not that...

sj, why is that bad?

Not sj, but an epidural is the common anesthetic choice which reduces the experience of pain during birth tremendously.

Hair pats. I need hair pats. Well, what I really need is for my PHONE TO RING and it be the HR guy offering me a job. He said he'd have news for me today.

Hires always take longer than expected because somebody up the decision tree is taking a long weekend vacation.

That's what I'm telling myself. That if it was a "No", I'd hear back fairly quickly. I AM NOT PATIENT.

Hair pats for Jilli.

My fear of epidural was far greater than fear of childbirth so I refused anything needle like. It is good to hear the doctor was nice and calm. Good communication is the key IMO.

Ah, okay.

I have given up on job stuff for the moment and have given myself Rainbow Connection glitter toenails over a dark purple base. I'm going to do my fingernails, too, but after I am done with laundry and get home.

Ooh, there's a distraction. Help me decide what color to paint my nails for the Vampire Ball this weekend? The outfit is b&w stripes. (Of course it is.)

I'm also writing my doll company interview questions. This is kindasortanotreally keeping me busy.

Jilli - do cupcake nails! [link] Or bat nails!! [link]
