My mother always hated how her pregnancy stories were super-traumatic and brought down any shower she swapped one at(She was actually in more trouble w/ my brother than with me--that's some irony, huh?(Actually, Mom hates showers--she might have enjoyed it a skosh.) So far, no "pushback" about the Baltimore postings. Good. I'm wearing a new shirt and wouldn't want to cut a bitch today.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Ran into this a while ago, from The Bloggess:
Nothing Rhymes With “Episiotomy”
Janie and I went to Marcia’s shower
expecting some pre-baby fun.
We arrived at her house at the agreed upon hour
and immediately wanted to run.
Marcia’s round belly was surrounded by girls who
regaled her with tales of their labor,
while Marcia grew paler and tried to grab onto
her wits, a life raft, or a saber.
“I pooped on the table,” said plump, old Aunt Pat,
(She made it sound like a boast).
Said Tiffany-Sue: “Oh, everyone does that.”
Marcia turned white as a ghost.
“For shame, now girls,” said reserved cousin Flo,
“Who cares ’bout your old lady bits?
Babies do much more damage as they grow.
Good heavens, just look at my tits!”
Within a half-hour I needed a shower
and Marcia and Janie looked faint.
“Why, that’s nothing” said gran, who fluttered her fan,
“You should see what they did to my taint!”
Of blood and of bile they prattled on blindly,
(By now Marcia was starting to heave.)
They showed c-section scars (a little unkindly).
It was clear that we needed to leave.
The talk of the girls
caused great twisting of pearls
and left us all thinking of options.
Janie’s decided to stay on the pill,
And I’m looking into adoption

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"scared the crap outta me" does rather well.

It's done OK by me so far, except for the occasional hot flash at night.

Hot flashes ... well, since it gets cold at night and they've turned off the heat in my building, they've turned out to be a good thing, at least for now.

True, some nights in January I'd kick off the blankets and go "Ahhhh."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For an interview, it's OK to wear black slacks and a black jacket as a suit even if they're not the same fabric, right? (I gained about five pounds, and my usual interview pants don't fit me anymore, and I don't remotely have time to buy new pants and shorten them to fit me, but I do have some other black pants that fit. I'll be wearing it with a tan shirt with black trim.)

Unless you're interviewing for Vogue or someone, I doubt they'll notice.

Hil, seems like that should be okay. I'd wear it, anyway.
