Friday Pick-Me-Up

I just got my own personal mini comedy routine over the phone. One of our certification applicants is a nationally known comic - not a huge name - most people probably haven't heard of him though he has been on Comedy Central and BET and has won an Emmy. He was cracking wise while we were discussing his application. Made my day.

How 'bout you? Anything perking up your day so far?

I was 200 when I was pregnant, Andromeda. And I was HOT. You're in good company. ;)

- Baby is spending the night with the grandparents
- Saturday AM = getting to do the errands and activities that I want to do!
- Party tomorrow night for my baby brother's 28th (yikes!) birthday
- Been going through a rough patch lately (not just raining, but pouring, and threatening to sweep me away), but... things seem to be looking up*

*However I am too chickenshit to actually poke my head out from under my umbrella to see if the meteors have stopped falling from the sky.**

**I actually had a dream last night that me and some strangers, and some loved ones were in a building on campus, and there was a nuclear attack not too distant, and then it started raining, and the nuclear! acid! rain! started melting the walls of the building and we had to move to another room, like a high school chemistry classroom, and all I could think to do was be as nice as possible to everyone and try to help them out.***

***Which I am going to take as a sign that I am awesome****

****My proof of this is that I have lovely, wonderful, sweet and kind friends and family***** around, and I finally(!) feel like I am starting to get my shit together and stop pretending to be grown up and scared, but to actually! become! a! grownup!? without losing my sense of fun and humor and laughter.

*****Who actually do stuff like ignore/forgive my rambling...

Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Fun Claire fact: My older brother is Canadian - I know, crazy!

Please enjoy this lovely picture of two "Canadian Tuxedos!" (Which should totally be the theme of my next party!)

Ahahah yeah the Canadian Tuxedo is the worst! I have never succumbed to it: Montreal is immune, though lots of people where I come from sport that look. Thanks CJRW!

Oh, and Andromeda, I was 225 when I was pregnant. Yes, yes, twins and all that, but one extra baby only means 10lbs more of weight gain, usually. And I, too, was HOT. And I ate ice cream every day. Go for it!

thanks Kommish and Guinness! i was really hoping i wouldn't get this heavy this time around. it hurt a lot last time and i even started out thinner this time! (i got to 203 at my last appt before D was born) i'm just mentally DONE with this pregnancy. i feel bad for D too because my fuse is practically non-existent, i am so grumpy! oh well. almost there. 13 more days.

PBM- too bad about the confidentiality! i do understand though.
