As y’all know, my grandmother (the sharp, independent, super-helpful one) was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer on the 6th. She was feeling a bit unsteady on her feet and having some significant back pain, so came into my ER to be evaluated, and the cancer was discovered and she was admitted that night. She did [...]

Terminally Annoyed
Posted in Rants on February 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Y’know what’s irritating? When a work friend sets a time to come with her teenage daughter and meet the babies, asks when they can come for months, is apparently v. excited, then doesn’t show, only calling hours later to say they were “stuck” at the mall. And then, days later, sets another time, and stands you [...]

Why is CBS running full episodes of Perry Mason and Dynasty on their website, and not the Mentalist? I mean, c’mon – it’s their big new show for the season, and every tivo in the country got foxed by football last night.
Gah.
Sperm Anxiety
Posted in Rants, TTC on January 8, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Now really, have you ever read a blog post entitled Sperm Anxiety? I thought not. (Although some of ye IVPers may have…hard to know…but I digress.)
Because I’m a colossal sucker for punishment, I’m actually considering TTC again. Not anytime soon, mind you. I’m thinking fall 2011 at the earliest. But that means I need swimmers. I [...]
Weight
Posted in Pregnancy, Rants on September 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
So I popped into the department after my peri visit the other day, and ran into my coworker who’s also having twins. She’s about 26-27 weeks. The conversation got around to weight gain, and she’s proud to be not eating much and still being several lbs under her pre-pregnancy weight. (She started at a very [...]
Ebay Rants

Confidential to sellers on Ebay: Do not annoy the manatee-sized woman who’s been unable to walk more than 50 feet consecutively in the past two months, rendering her unable to visit the mall, by listing things as “newborn” only for her to click through and see “size 6 months.” You are a tool. [...]
Two Random Thoughts
Posted in Media, Rants on September 18, 2008 | 3 Comments »
1) Reruns of WKRP in Cincinnati are better (and cheaper) than psychotherapy. Anyone else remember that show? As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!
2) Why do people (and by people, I mean other parents/preggos with twins – not just Joe Blow at the gas station) insist on this [...]
Drinking the Koolaid
Posted in Politics, Rants on August 29, 2008 | 13 Comments »
I swear, I’m so tired of the swooning, weeping and frothing at the mouth from Obama’s minions, I could just puke. Seriously. They’re all going on like a bunch of doe-eyed twelve-year-olds with a crush. It’s utterly nauseating. The man is *not* the second coming of Christ, or Abraham Lincoln, or anybody else. He’s a [...]
Ranting on Clostridium
Posted in Rants on August 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Some mommybloggers (along with the P@mpers people) are out there trying to eradicate tetanus in Africa. Eradicate. Tetanus. Anyone with a public health background is now laughing her ass off. I’ll give you a minute. Better?
You can’t eradicate any disease that has a reservoir outside the human population (and that’s most of them, in one [...]
Frustration
Posted in Pregnancy, Rants, Work on July 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
My three major frustrations for today, in no particular order:
1) I was awakened at about 3:30 (after not getting home until 9:45, bed at 10) by the doorbell. No one there. No message from the mailman or anything. Gah.
2) Had my u/s today (19w1d) revealing two healthy, 10 oz babies. (Note: not the frustrating part.) [...]
