I know it's exciting, and that I'm just going in the wrong direction with this, but to feel like you have mice crawling around inside of you sounds kinda awful. Like acid gone horribly wrong...
Okay, sorry about that - not nice to besmirch lovely things with my evil imagination.
there's a line in an Imperial Teen song that goes "I like strawberries...and I like you!" I love that song. It makes me think of my friend Joel. a simple song for a simple boy. It's kind of "our" song. I think it became "our" song when we saw Imperial Teen play at Folsom Street Fair a few years ago. We were both drunk and dancing around with all the leather daddies and singing that to each other while simultaneously trying to catch the eye of the totally hot singer Will. Of course Joel had a better chance than me because Will is gay, but a girl can dream can't she? god, sorry about the babbling. I'm kinda discombobulated this morning....

Hehe, thanks guys. The baby's "meal orders" are usually for things like steak, roast beef sandwiches, strawberries, or gazpacho. (go figure, on that last one... maybe baby likes red food) It is like having two brains sometimes, except the baby's communications to me have so far been hormonal. Just "You're hungry" or "You're tired" or "You're crabby" messages, like hypnosis.
Now it's time for more tangible signals. The kicking may have started yesterday - I'm not sure yet. (waiting until it happens again before I get too excited) Felt like little mice running around in there! I am 18 weeks, so that is about average. Yay.
You can hear somebody's baby's heartbeat here; not mine obviously, but that was about right. I think mine was faster though. (overachieving child!)

You wlook fabulous, my dear! Absotutely glowing!
As a man, I have wondered what it's like having two brains in one body.
Baby> I want ice cream! Mom> It'll spoil our dinner. Maybe later. Baby> I want ice cream! Mom> Wait just a little while, we'll have some after dinner. Baby> I want ice cream! Mom> Okay, okay, I'm going to the fridge now. Baby> I want ice cream! Mom> Mmmm, muff, gobble! Dad> Honey, you're going to spoil your dinner! Mom> Shut-up! Baby wants ice cream and baby is going to get ice cream! Baby> mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Ah the wonder and joy of it all!
Peace and Love Everybody!

At 13 weeks and 1 day, it's still so tiny by comparison. At 18 weeks it seems like there was a growth explosion!
-and neat about hearing the heartbeat. I always imagined it would sound like hummingbird wings.
When does their kicking usually start?

Hey, I finally updated the page of baby. We are in a "growth spurt" right now, baby and I. Heh.
I'm sorry about the job, Awwa. The "how things are done in the State" scheme sounds perfect. I wish my boss hadn't come from another state agency, it would've been perfection!
So is this iLoo thing for real? Not that I don't believe you - but yeow!

Thanks Chief. I'm kinda over it already, and making plans on breaking in the new guy! Things like "Lunch on the Boss Mondays" and "Free Donuts on the Boss Fridays." He's from the private sector, so we'll be using, "that's not how things are done in the State" excuses anytime he tries to change something, that we don't want changed. And of course "Employee Appreciation Day" where all of the bosses give their underlings a free day off. You know, break him in right!
Oh and about the keyboard in the Loo... maybe they could have disposable sanitary covers like they have for seats, HA! The story I read went a little further and described how one plan called for toilet tissue with URL's printed on them. Now we'll even be spammed on the can! Or is that canned spam?
Keeping the Peace!

I wouldn't mind it, actually, so long as they don't have Net Nanny blocking the porn sites. Woodaddy.

that is so disgusting. why would anyone want to hang out in a porta-potty any longer than they absolutely had to? blech. I definitely wouldn't want to touch the keyboard either.... I think that's a general rule in those things. Don't Touch Anything.

Bad news on the job. I did not get the supervisory position. The boss over us both, sat me down and told me today. They've made a hire, but said that they'd send me to some classes to get me some supervisory training. Or like they want me to have a little more experience being bossed, before they're willing to let me do any bossing, HA!
Anyway, I'm fairly bummed! But that's the way the ball bounces and hits you in the groin! Oh well. I'm going to have to tighten-up my budget, probably not spend anything on luxuries anytime soon. I'm barely making my bills as is. I thought about getting another job, or moving somewhere. Truth is, I'll probbly be around for a long time. But it is hard to get by.
Okay, okay, stop sobbing and weeping over me now! Yea, yea, thanks for the encouragement and pats on the back! I know things could be worse. Bush could call for a war on my neighborhood. But then I doubt that even Bush would send our troops to the Projects, Hahaha! Anyway, thanks for the support so far, and in advance for any silly thing you might say hereafter. Actually you guys give good advice, but the silly things make me laugh! I'll be okay. In fact this might make me stronger! "Whatever doesn't kill you..." Except that in my decrepid, forty going on fifty something age, lots of things make you weaker, without actually killing you, Heh! They don't tell you that when you sign-up! You find-out about that the forty thousand somethingth time down the trail! Now I'm starting to sound like Pinder!
Okay, enuff! I'm done! Actually this will help me make some decisions. And who knows, maybe my Art career will take-off, and all the folks at the State of Virginia will be left with is, "Yea, I knew him when he worked here. Nice guy!"
Peace Y'all!

Its funny, if I only had my experience to go on Mike would seem like the kind of guy that has led an average life. A testament to his metamorphosis I guess. Oh that Speck, always getting into trouble..
Stumbled on this guy's paintings. I love them!

geekdom galore there chief.... hee hee
hopefully some parallel Aaron is living the life of "good" and "wise" choices somewhere in the universe. har. Even the parallel Aaron here (a.k.a. his twin bro) wasn't much different until recently. those pesky twins. so much trouble, but you can't help but love 'em. Of course I find myself saying that about most of my friends. I wonder if they say that about me? hurm.

Speck, regarding the conversation with Aaron and Anna Goss:
Basicly, physicists have concluded that space is infinite and that, therefore, there are an infinite number of other universes out there identical to ours - "In infinite space, even the most unlikely events must take place somewhere. There are infinitely many other inhabited planets, including not just one but infinitely many that have people with the same appearance, name and memories as you, who play out every possible permutation of your life choices."
This conversation just screams geeks: [10:31] danno_sm: nelly, you finish that coffee table yet? [10:31] Chiefwagonburner: didn't finish my table yet, need to find some decent paint or stain for it [10:31] danno_sm: that and my birch bark canoe [10:32] Chiefwagonburner: haha [10:32] danno_sm: listen, I've been more then generous on the canoe schedule but I still haven't seen any movement [10:33] danno_sm: I think we need to have a new planning meeting to go over goals and deliverables [10:33] Chiefwagonburner: I'm upgrading to the newest birch bark toolset, that's why its late. You want the latest tools, the whole canoe industry is moving to them. Your canoe will be obsolete in a year otherwise. [10:34] danno_sm: oh,.. the birch SDK was rev'd to 1.4.1? [10:34] Chiefwagonburner: the old version didn't work with SapGlue5.2 [10:36] danno_sm: how about scalp_the_lazy_bastard0.1.1 if he doesn't get moving on it? [10:37] Chiefwagonburner: Microsoft bought them out, its now "Clippy's on a Warpath XP". It crashes all the time. [10:38] danno_sm: time to call canoe_builder.action(&boot_in_d_ass) [10:40] Chiefwagonburner: Error 101: Process uses an Automation type not supported. [10:40] danno_sm: I'm subclassing the boot in the ass

This is interesting, but probably will be completely misread by those currently on witch hunts!

Web Antidote for Political Apathy. It could be good for both sides. I would be a bit squeamish using a company's tools though.

They usually do, but sometimes the selection can take a long time to narrow down - don't count yourself out yet.
