I've been sent to bed ... as in, bedrest. I won't be around much for at least another week. frown
deceptiviewfilm:
SG will still be around. Just rest and relax and get better.
metaverse:
Rest up, MS05 needs you in tip top shape!! smile

I no longer have boobs ... I have cannons stuck on the front of my chest. I should have taken Before and After pictures. This is ridiculous! I'm kind of scared to measure myself. We're well into custom bra territory, now. It should get better in a couple of days, but this is really ridiculous.

I had a Guinness with dinner. biggrin I know, not the...

I guess it was bound to happen. I mean, you didn't exactly have mosquito bites before either! Got to be a strange feeling though.

I've always been told "Guinness is good for you", and I've really seen no evidence to the contrary.
wenda:
Congratulations! On the new baby or the new breasts, take your pick. Or possibly congratulations on the Guinness. Anyway, congratulations and well done smile

I hope your endowments are not too uncomfortable. I've always been petitely built in that area, I can't imagine what it must feel like to have real breasts.

So much for NaBloPoMo ...I've been AWOL having a baby!

Wednesday afternoon I'd had a doctor's appointment. She did a blood pressure reading, and it was fine, as usual. Thursday, my midwife found that my blood pressure had skyrocketed, and there were signs that my kidneys were in distress. We went to the hospital for further tests, where they diagnosed hypertension. The only way to...

It's snowing! A lot! It's actually going to stay on the ground for a little while, too. Snow has been forecast for the next 24 hours, and it's going to hover around freezing for the rest of the week. This is so early for winter in Toronto! Puts me in the Christmas spirit, though, so I'm not complaining.

And speaking of Christmas, here's my...

My new doll arrived today! She's got that new doll smell ... wink Seriously, they're made of resin, and made to order, so new dolls still have a chemical-y odour to them. She's pretty cute, and my husband actually said that he liked her! After having called both of my other dolls creepy! Silly husband.

I've got Puscifer's Indigo Children in my head, probably because it...

I called my midwife first thing this morning because I was still feeling crummy, despite four days of rest. She figures it's a whole bunch of things happening at once, and gave me a list of items to relieve my various aches and pains. My absolutely wonderful husband went to the pharmacy, and spent $70 ( eeek ) getting all this stuff for me. So now...

Now I'm craving cocoa. The final book did me in...I was so bummed out at the various bad things. So wish they hadn't moved the next movie to next year...it would have been out this month!
metaverse:
I've not heard of it. I'll go look it up. I've had some people recommend David Eddings, and I've always wanted to read The Riftwar Saga from Feist. I still have two Salvatore books I need to pick up. I need to hit the lottery so I can read more lol.

I'm selling one of my ball-joint dolls so that I can afford a new one. biggrin I've already bought the new one ... she should arrive early this week. wink Since she's a different size from the one I'm selling, I'm also selling all of her stuff. The neat thing about this particular branch of doll collecting is that things don't usually depreciate in value, so I'm...

Thanks! It's a slow process, but he's doing really well, particularly considering the alternative! :')

I'm enjoying Northrend so far. There are some really neat new creature designs, like gorlocs, which remind me a helluva lot of Tony DiTerlizzi's goblins. I love the new humanoid race.

I totally don't know what to do with myself today. I'm restless but so not mobile.

Apparently my husband just ran into Mark McKinney at the grocery store. surreal

I watched TV at the hotel a couple of nights ago. It's kind of a big deal, because we don't have cable at home, so I never get to just veg out in front of the TV flipping channels and seeing what's on. Don't get me wrong - we did this voluntarily and...

Ah-ha! I can update way too early in the morning for today's post for NaBloPoMo. Why the hell am I awake? "Some say it's nature's way of preparing you for the baby" ... yeah, thanks nature!

At least I should be able to sleep on the bus on the way to the company "offsite" today. Time to charge my iPod. And to download Winamp ......

I'm really into oolongs right now. We've got one at home called Milk Oolong- incredibly rare, from China, with the most delicious aroma ever. It brews up very sweet and rich, though the liquor is light and smooth. GREAT stuff, though unfortunately too expensive to have very often!
Good luck with your Ti Kwan Yin! smile
morgan:
Winamp is the best, seriously.

A friend of mine has been posting unspoilered freaky YouTube videos in her journal today. blackeyed I don't watch them, but the still image is enough to disturb me. I'm such a delicate flower.

It's time to get some masala chai, I think. The weather's turning cooler, "holiday" decorations are appearing in public places, and Pandora has thrown in some Christmas carols in my classical station....

I've decided that I'm going on leave a week early. I really don't think I can last three more weeks, and I'm eligible for leave at any time right now. It's just such a weird place to be in ... Usually I'm the person filling in for the woman going on leave, so it's odd to be training someone to fill in for me. I'm...

i'm ashamed to say i'm looking forward to the trainwreck that Twilight will be.
ta2dmom:
So, my 12 year old *she'll be 13 in Dec. is wanting to read the Twilight series and I asked the lady at the bookstore if that was a good idea and she said it might be a bit "too explicit" and so now I'm wondering if it's a good idea. I don't know. I've never read the books and hadn't even really heard of them until I saw the author on Ellen eeekblush.
So, how was the shower? I've been away from SG all weekend and seemed to have missed a bunch of stuff lol.
Also, enjoy the heck out of your leave. I wish they offered something similar here in the states. They don't and it makes me so sad. So many mamas are forced back to work right after the spawn pops out. I think that's a big reason for formula being so popular too. Pumping when you go back to work is a pain in the ass and isn't something a lot of people are comfortable doing. tongue
