Hysteria, When You're Near
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the word “hysteria” comes from a term used by doctors in ancient Greeze. Doctors thought that women experienced emotional imbalance when the uterus traveled around inside the body.This makes some sense to a pregnant...

Milking It
I’m already using the pregnancy to my advantage. Driving to Atlanta, Scott turned on the radio. He likes his music very loud.No, you don’t understand how LOUD it is: I have (not very serious, but measurable) permanent hearing loss from childhood ear...

My Body is a Wonderland
There should be some reprieve between finding out that you’re pregnant, and experiencing the effects of pregnancy (of course, I am eight weeks along). But I guess my body going insane was the first indicator, anyway. My boobs are huge. I’m renaming...

Perspective
Everything seems so overwhelming. Yesterday, someone at work asked me how I felt. I said, “I feel pregnant. I want to beat everyone up and take all their food!”Big laugh from the other mommie...

For Them to Poop On
Of course, my parents had to shit all over it. They lectured us for two hours about how disappointed they were in me, how they thought I was smarter than this.Scott is trying to handle it with his usual aplomb. I suppose he’s simply more of a grown-up...

Oops, We're Pregnant!
I tell Penny first, then we call his parents. They are ecstatic, and they tell us that they have an entire nursery’s furniture stored in their attic. I call to move the wedding date, and am offered free use of the botanical gardens! All of Scott’s friends’...

Bad Mojo
Why is it that four different people have asked me if I plan to go on the South Beach Diet now that I'm engaged? And someone scoffed at my engagement ring the other day: "If my fiancee gave me a teeny tiny plain old ring like that, I would not marry...

Too much time on their hands
Why do people turn their noses up at my ignorance of wedding planning and, well, complete lack of giving a shit about the things I suppose I should give a shit about? Like, no way I'm paying $200 for a cake."That's cheap!" said Stephanie. "Geez, are...

What decade is this?
My manager grabbed my ass last night. Could've killed her. I've worked on the "Don't Grab Stacey's Ass" ad campaign for a year, now, but apparently I'm not reaching my target audienc...
Fun so far
I like this being engaged thing. I get lots of hugs. I'm so happy I'm drooling on myself.Unfortunately, now there's a huge party to plan. Can't we just make a fucking big pot of spaghetti? I was trying to figure out what kind of wedding dealio to expect,...

Going to the Chapel
So, we're engaged. Yeah, never mind about the story. As I move entries from one site to another, I'm deleting posts that annoy my husband if I can live without them.There was much confusion and uproar at work today. Scott worked at Restaurant of Evil...
