It's my birthday! And how do I get to celebrate the first few hours? So far, Rooibos red raspberry tea & tupelo honey, a banana, early labor contractions(again! I hope this time it's no joke), The Vandals birthday song, and now for the oh so sad part.....my poor little parakeet has a severely broken wing. I noticed it when I went to go feed them....

Question: Would you sell one of your balls for $25,000 dollars? And do you know if that would mean that you can't have any children?

Hmmm. I guess it's kind of a false alarm, but not really. I started to go into labor on sunday morning, early labor, and had regular contractions all day that intensified and progressed each time. I went to the waterbirth center on monday for my prenatal appointment to get checked out, because they encourage you to do most of your labor at home, just active...

Ladies and Gentlemen, he is coming! I am so excited, I can hardly wait! Wish me luck!

Holy moly. One more week as of today, well, but you know how that goes. I have compiled a list of very neccesary things to do to keep busy before the belly monster comes out. My list goes as follows:

*Vote
*Find a pediatrician and a family primary care doctor who practices western medicine and homeopathy
*Pick up last minute baby goods
*Pick up financial...

I am nesting quite nicely, much like my little parakeets. They are gay, you know, but I am not. Still, it's like watching "trading spaces" take place in their little cage. Kidding, kidding, boy that was dumb. Anyhow, I have been trapped in the house for almost four days due to this ice storm. I am taking full advantage of it, though. Getting everything ready...

There are way too many monkeys on my back these days No, seriously, get them the hell off of me! I love monkeys, but not the kind that do a pile up on you when you least expect it. Unless they are spider monkeys, then they are lighter. But these are more like chimpanzees. I keep giving them bananas, but I guess that gives them...

I went and saw "Big Fish" tonite. Soo cute! It seems like it has been froever since Tim Burton came out with anything new. Lately, his stuff is everywhere. The tragic toys, literature, stationary, movies, etc. I love it! The snow is melting away, but there is more expected in the days to come. The fact that there is snow is also very foreign to...

I hate vacations because they are just that: vacations. My boy left to go back home for school today and it was fucking hard. He was here for 11 days and it felt like two. However, new years was cool in the sense that I got to hang out with a bunch of old friends. For the last time, actually, as a non-parent. On the...

Ahhhh....happy holidays indeed. I had a wonderful christmas, received various gifts and I'm pretty sure that I got everything I wanted this year. And I do mean EVERYTHING. Among the many things, a few classic horror Dvds. I went out on the town yesterday. It's getting harder for me to go on these outtings, for the weight of this watermelon-like object strapped onto my body...
