Too much stuff to do. You should just go eat chocolate instead. Or strawberries, for the health conscious. Or both together. Oooh.
Also, borax can be sprinkled around house doors to get some bugs to stay away. We're trying it on our addition right now, which is generally more bug prone than the rest of the house.
A few things...
First: When I am pregnant, will you be my doula? I don't even know if I spelled that right, but I want one and I think you would be great!
Second: Elimination Communication. I have a friend who did it. She's a huge advocate. I can give you her info if you seriously want to hear about her experience. She just had a baby (a week ago) and is starting him on the process.
Third; I owe you an email about our vacuum robot. To come shortly.
Fourth: Leg and armpit wax, huh? What's that about?!?!
Fifth: If I lived in SL, I would take Somali refugee's on a tour of the city. I'm bummed that I don't!
If you want an Apple discount alert Neil... the occasionally have raffles for display models & he just got my dad a 24' desktop for $500. Plus, he gets a 25% discount on new ones, I think.
Then, you'll never have to do anything productive ever again. That has been the result of my Air, at least.
Does this mean that you've already done the doula training??
Also, I'm glad that you clarified that you're returning unworn underwear. That cracked me up.
Jen- Chocolate. Roger.
Betsey- Yes, gladly. If I am ever actually pregnant remind me that I need to talk to your friend (does she have a blog so I can just creepily stalk her and learn about her diaperless baby?). Looking forward to the robot email. I wax my armpits and legs like every five years (I used to be more diligent but am now lazy and consequently more hairy.)
Kate- that is completely awesome. I will add that to my burgeoning list of reasons a Mac will save all our lives
Liz- yes, I have been a doula sinve 2004. I love it and am obsessed with reading about birth to the exclusion of arguably more useful activities.
All- I really like you people.
61. respond gracefully to e-mail after e-mail from a panicky pregnant friend, even though that probably means not doing other things on the already-extensive list.
62. spend hours on the phone with that same friend until she feels better.
63. be a really, really nice pal.
(you can check all those things off your list, by the way :) )
45, I haven't heard from you
