  1. Apparently, I've offended some mommy bloggers by refusing baby advice. Is it really any surprise why I prefer to discuss cake?
  2. @ksiddiqi92 Thanks. Was about to call when the host emailed that they'd had to restart due to some "httpd fail". Hopefully all better now!
  3. People, I know you're never short on opinions, thus: Zipcar or Hertz Connect? Rocking chair or glider? Grocery shopping or nap?
  4. Set out to buy $99 Ikea crib, $79 dresser. Left NJ w/The Very Opposite of an Ikea Crib, Nursery Set (ETA 12 wks, baby due in 10). Send help.
  5. Was about to gleefully announce that I finally have an unhealthy pregnancy vice (3rd Frappucino in 1 week!), when I saw: 200 calories. WEAK.
  6. Tiny plus to being The Patron Martyr of Glucose Tests: Bruise on my left arm is the exact color we want to paint the nursery! Convenient!
  7. http://is.gd/1swPz "Lisa Mahar, shop owner, says a $200 toy is "just not acceptable anymore." Oh Lisa, a $200 toy was *never* acceptable!
  8. They never make cleaning commercials for people like me: Just found yesterday's half-eaten everything bagel in my handbag. It's BAD, people.
  9. What has become of me? Am fiercely craving one of these wretched things: http://is.gd/1rruk. Pregnancy destroys both taste and dignity.
  10. How can there be no bagel shop in a 5-block radius of my doc's UWS office? Should be like finding a pirogi-less block in the EV: Impossible.
  11. Inspire me: What was the last thing you saw that made you say "I have got to cook this right this very second or my life will lose meaning"?
  12. Everything out there today seems like either "food I already eat" or "food I never want to eat" (hat tip to Mr. Grimes http://is.gd/1padh).
  13. "... the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness" really never gets old. http://is.gd/1nkRA
  14. Dear Diary, It finally happened! Just when I thought it never, ever would. 7/3/09, 3:15pm, 7m1d: SOMEONE OFFERED ME THEIR SEAT ON THE TRAIN.
  15. Turns out, saying "We just found out! We're so excited!" when asked how far along I am isn't as funny to others as it is to me. FINE. Noted.
  16. http://is.gd/1kQHG "Why say crispy when crisp is more expressive?" Elizabeth David is my [http://is.gd/1kQNz http://is.gd/1kQLj] kinda gal.
  17. I'd like an assistant, a day at the beach, some bourbon & a pony, in that order. But I settled for a Frappucino, and lo, it actually worked.
  18. http://is.gd/1im9g "Just laughed so hard, I briefly worried I was going to induce labor." "Please don't. We haven't bought butt paste yet."
  19. Re: Books: Thanks for the suggestions -- Housing Works it is! Amusingly, the NYPL weighed in http://is.gd/1ig6e, said no thank you!
  20. They wildly overestimate me. But okay, for 10 mos we can pretend that I'd *like* to be a more helpful person, I'm just not *allowed* to be."
