Several Quick Notes

Whoo, so many things going on, I have an idea for a more coherent entry, but first, a few quick things. Thanks to Paperback Writer who not only wrote extremely nice things about me, but also posted a picture of me to go with them. PW is one of those people that I just decided I was going to make be my friend, and I don't know if she remembers this or not, but I think it started when I invited her to go to the deli for a sandwich. I am sooooo glad I did, because we are frequently on the same frequency . .. Congrats to Monica and Joe who had a beautiful son, Nathan, Monday afternoon. Monica either had history's easiest labor or super-drugs because not only did she describe the process as "a few painless hours" and "not comfortable", but also, in the picture she sent from the hospital, (you know the one, where the woman usually looks like she just wrestled a Kreemorian Fangor Beast and won, but barely) Monica has perfect hair and perfect make-up!! If she tells me what they gave her, I'll post it here for any Future Mommies, so you know what to ask for ;-) And lastly, I'm in Pittsburgh's FreeCycle, which is a loose association of people who give stuff away for free instead of throwing it out. You can give away stuff, and you can request something you need. This morning I saw a post for "WANTED: Machete". Now, I am sure there was a TOTALLY rational explanation in the post, but me, I prefer to leave it my imagination. You just never know when you're going to need a machete. Check back later for Pork Chops and Cookies.
