Ah... thank you. I'm half-consciously writing this after spending most of the night awake because I'm pregnant and cannot sleep comfortably between the discomfort and the hunger and the heartburn and the mind-racing. I can't stand it when people tell me to "Sleep while you can." A) It's hard to sleep pregnant and B)…

I was not even remotely prepared for the joy of randomly coming across a Jeremy Enigk link on the internets today. Most of my college career had that album (and probably specifically that song) as its soundtrack. Delightful.

I have no comment about the situation leading up to the accident, who was right, who was wrong... whatever. I still can't imagine watching a car accident and having my first response be "That's what you get!" no matter how angry I just had been at the person driving the car.

Oh I love this. I get a whole new layer of frustration when I vent my original frustration only to be met with suggestions and things I could do to solve the problem. I KNOW what I could do...

If someone's on one of the nice ones, you better believe I'm bellying up right next to them on the other one, even if all the others are empty. I'd like to believe they're internally appreciating my good taste in…

My fiance has only a handful of family he's interested in inviting (He was married once before and had his whole extended family there, none of whom he's very close to. This time he wants to keep it to a couple close family members who he regularly sees.) At Christmas, several people said "See you in June," talked…
