MISSING: Friends

Posted on 12/5/2006 by alianora

I HAVE friends. I know this. Ive even heard from them.

Just not in the past MONTH AND A HALF.

I emailed them back within a week of getting their first emails. I even waited several weeks and emailed a couple of them AGAIN.

Three of the Vaginas, my fandom best friend, and my college roommate have disappeared completely off of the face of the earth.

I have been abandoned.

So, instead of writing emails, Ive been composing random stories of what has happened to each one of them.

I think they’ve been eaten by rabid weasels.

Like this one, only less…lazy.

Countdown to Drinks

Posted on 12/1/2006 by alianora

pregnant

finally! one of those damn countdown calenders that doesnt make me want to puke with the cutsey!

not that i drink margaritas, even when non-pregnant. but still, hee!

we did make it to Anchorage, 2 days later than planned, and had a very short, slightly stressful visit with brandus’s parents, during which nothing blew up and no major fights occured, so hey, score!

i did get two very gorgeous pieces of art from them for Christmas, and im thrilled with that. Of course, I couldnt ever think of anything for them to get me, and they wouldnt accept the normal, “pay off the credit card! pay off some of the car! give us grocery money!” which they NEVER accept, because “its not something fun.”

hell, it would be fun for ME, but oh well. very pretty art.

although, people? DONT talk to the belly instead of me, mmkay? And DONT, for heaven’s sake, ignore me, dont refer to me, and instead, just discuss “the baby” like i dont exist.

“Someone needs a new coat! We dont want the baby getting cold!”
“Wow, the baby really likes chocolate dipped strawberries!”

GAH.

Best Laid Plans

Posted on 11/23/2006 by alianora

Well, we had PLANNED to be in Anchorage as of last night, to spend Thanksgiving with Brandus’s folks, who made a special trip up to see us.

But, we got weathered in.

Not snow. Not sleet. Not hail.

Fog. Lots of it. And where there is fog, there is ice.

And so, no flying. And today? It looks clear, but the airline that flies up here has the day off.

*sigh*

So, we’re making rice pudding. And by “we,” i mean Brandus, who is very unhappy and so, is cooking.

You know, I dont think people realize how strange life can be.

Life, when you have to wait 24 hours to get chinese take out from a town 150 miles away, which is where the closest chinese place is.

because they have to fly it to you.

and you figure $20 per person is not an outrageous price to ask for such a treat.

my life is SO weird.

I NOW OWN MATERNITY CLOTHES.

DEAR GOD, IM PREGNANT! WHY DIDNT SOMEBODY STOP ME?

Ok, im better. but really, the finding out i was knocked up was startling, but the owning of maternity clothes seems to be more wildly REAL than anything else. even seeing the little shrimp on the initial ultrasound.

how weird is that?
