That was my thought with that picture. I’m 35, rarely wear makeup, and tend to apply it only in specific areas (I don’t own foundation, for example). Her face to me looks like you could scrape it off with the edge of a credit card and still leave makeup behind.

I had the “What’s happening to me?” book, and let me tell you, the page about circumcision confused the *fuck* out of me as a kid — I hadn’t read the text that explained it, so I just thought being circumcised meant they added something to the end of your penis, and thought the pictures were mislabelled (in my…

I’ve had a D&C abortion, a c-section, a miscarriage, and a vaginal birth. I don’t remember the amount of blood following the abortion, but following the remaining three, my bleeding was about the same. I’d say it was longest for the miscarriage (I was one of the lucky ones that hit 6 weeks of pre- and post-bleeding),…

Person of Interest is an excellent show and it needs to come back for its next/final season ASAP.

My sister and I were c-sections, and when they brought my dad into the theatre to be with my mom, he was wandering around and looking at everything — the nurse had to direct him away from the sterile medical equipment. I heard for years about how “the doctor had his arm up to the elbow in your mom!” and idiot me only…

I look way more pregnant than her now and I’m over 13 months postpartum. :(

My husband almost passed out when we watched the video of the kid being born in our prenatal classes. I thought it looked like it was shot from across the room — you could barely see anything.

I will craft you a hiding place for his body.

No kidding! I wasn’t yet into dating and so on when it was airing (no one wanted to date awkward little jenteen until she grew up some), but I do remember thinking how awful it was that Becca outed him during a fight with someone on the playground. After he TRUSTED her! And they’d done a pretty good job saying that…

Did you mean the guy on Life Goes On? Jesse, played by Chad Lowe, who I always confuse with Tom Hulce (who was in Amadeus).

SO MANY. I’m now doing jewelry (beading, maybe some wire work one day), and I have more patterns and kits than I could probably hope to finish in ten years. Cross stitch, knitting, jewelry, one day I’ll learn crochet... it’s ridiculous. My husband at least tolerates it, but I’m sure privately hates it.

Oh, hell. But thanks for the warning.

I went to the CN Tower with some friends on a band trip in high school. I was looking down through the glass floor into Skydome (fuck you renaming, it’s still Skydome to me) and saying, “normally heights don’t really bother me, but this...” when one of my friends gives me a shove. I stumble forward one step, spin…

I warn pregnant friends that the post-delivery hormones will make you crazy. I cried for about two weeks straight after the birth of my first and referred to it as the weeps. My husband was understanding the first few times, then I think just rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything (he wasn’t critical, he just didn’t…

My dad did the same with me when I was a wee one. He grew a beard after I was born, kept it for awhile I guess, and then when he shaved made sure I was in the bathroom with him. He grew another beard after my sister was born and never shaved it off.

I love that series. Still haven’t finished season 5, though. And Aaron Ashmore is coming to Ottawa Pop Expo — going just to get his autograph.

OTTAWA REPRESENT!

Oh god, this was me. I bawled for 20 minutes when Hedwig was killed. Dobby? I am a stone cold bitch apparently. Animals always get to me in books, movies, tv shows. Now that I have my own babies, I can’t handle things with kids.

Can I creepy follow both of you on Ravelry/instagram? I love knitting pictures and patterns and piling up years of crafts to make... (I’m litterboxjen and jmgeekcraft)

Well, best of luck to both of you in the pre-kid months! :)
