yo friend...

...you're going pink? wow, i just snuck in early enough to say that I knew you back when you were just like the rest of us.

I know your man's angst quite precisely. Tell him to get hisself on here if he needs to bitch a bit into an understanding ear ...and when it's all said and done, we'll breathe well and be happy there are women like you in the world who devote themselves to bringing in new little buggers with the righteous, lovin' vibe of a tattooed goddess.

So when's ya turning pink ...I gots ya slated for my fave list already --hehe.

its like that over here too; properly cold and wet too, and I've spent so much time at work I've barely noticed all the good bits about spring.
The one good thing about all this rain is that my street smells really good just after the heavy showers; that evergreen smell. Dumb I know, but when its nearly June and its like this, I need to hold onto everything I can. I'm kinda scared summer is going to happen, and be over, some weekend when I'm hungover and hiding in bed.
I've got the bad habit of reading cookery books in bed and then waking up really hungry, dreaming of everthing I wish I had the time to cook. I don't smoke though, and people would look at me in a weird way if I painted my toenails or shaved my legs...
Hope you feel better soon

hey hey ms. jones,
just thought i'd say hi
but i won't try and blow any pretty colored smoke up your bumm
about how it'll get better!
instead i'll share with you a little thing that i do every day.
i'm a smoker, have been since i was 12. where i work is kind of a govt. style bunker. i.e. lots of concrete.
so i've got to stand outside in this compound courtyard to smoke and can only see the sky because the walls are about ten feet tall
some days this bumms me out, like i'm in prison or something.
but in one corner there is a crack in the wall and over the last 3 yaers it's gradualy gotten bigger.
this year a dandelion has taken root there, and flowers about once every two weeks. the grounds keepers religiously(sp)
yank it out, and then my ten minutes will be reduced to concrete and sky. but it keeps coming back. sometimes within 2 days it'll have another flower.
there's just some part of it's adamant nature to thrive in this inhospitable place, that makes me smile to myself.
thats all!

yay, I'm on your friends list! I'm happy now...
but being sick isn't so good, but I kinda like the excuse to be self-indulgent and lie about on the sofa for a few days drinking tea in my pyjamas, reading my flatmates back issues of Vogue and watching kids tv.
I don't like the dreams though. Whenever I get ill with the flu or sinusitis (euch) I get really vivid recurring David Lynchesque dreams which really freak me out...
hope you feel better soon though,
big big hugs

have you heard Erase Errata? I haven't heard any of their stuff, but they look gorgeous (*swoons*) and I've heard them described (by Tobi Vail I think..) as kinda like The Slits meets Le Tigre meets the yeah yeah yeahs, whatever that sounds like.

Thanks for the teething tips! I'm about ready to pull my hair out!!!!!!!!!!! Are you a midwife? You have the bestset job, I love little babies!

Why thank you....
you're not so bad yourself: you like le tigre (I've got "from the desk of mr lady" in my discman at the moment; its my bouncing home from work music) and you're from decatur (I think michael stipe was born there)
and I could really do with a Margarita, but its only 9.30 in the morning here...

hope your poison ivy clears up ok too. ouch.

beware of the SARS
my friend hated some of the people she had to help birth
it would really get her frustrated

hey! i'm from Decatur too, and I can't beleive you've heard of Julie Ruin. I thought I was the only one. Anyways, this means you must be cool.

hey thanks! you're so nice to me.
