What a Wednesday...

Well ladies and gents, grab a seat and hang onto your socks. You will all soon become adopted Aunts and Uncles.

Nat's going to have a baby.

It was definatly an interesting start to my quiet Wednesday. I was looking forward to having two days in a row off, jumped out of the shower and headed downstairs for breakfast. When I came down to the bottom of the stairs, Nat was sitting on the ottoman and Mom was just kinda staring. When I asked what was wrong, Nat pointed to the fireplace where there sat a pregnancy test. The only thing to come out of my mouth (rather stupidly) was "I'm not looking at it." To which of course my sister replied "Well if it was negative I wouldn't be showing it to you, would I?" Good point, well made. I then went to check my email and found out something else (which I won't get into) and then trudged upstairs to go to work. I had a few new Doctor Who Audio Adventures to keep me going through the day, then at 8 it was time to head home. By now, I had thought, that Nat and Jay would have been home to tell my dad. (Jay, being the great guy he is- his first reaction was "Are you okay? How do you feel? I'll go with you to tell your dad.) I get home, Dad is watching the last Doctor Who disk in the first series... and happy. I give him a hug, then go to my mom who procedes to whisper in my ear that he doesn't know yet. Unable to help myself, I start giggling (as I have a tendancy to do when I'm very nervous. I'm glad I didn't have classes today, I'd have laughed through the whole thing.) About an hour later, Nat and Jay come and tell dad. He's fine. He even started joking about things. God bless Deacon School! We all thought he was going to do the usual dad "get silent, then not talk, then get mad, then move past" thing he used to do. But he's good.

So, I'm gonna be Aunt Sam.

Cool :-)

Birthdays, get togethers and tense shoulders.

Hey kids. Sorry its been awhile since Ive blogged. Work stuff... that I cant actually talk about. Anywho...

First, the birthday. Awesome times. Had a nice group of people out to dinner at GA, most of whom came back to my place for drink and a dip in the pool. I was treated to a cake, presents, debauchery with a digital camera and an impromptu striptease [thanks alot Quinn :-)] Once again, thanks to everyone for coming out and hanging. I truly appreciate it.

A few days later we all got an ecstatic text message from Erin that she and Mike got the house in West Chester. Congrats guys! Later on in the week, Nat had her redo luau. Got to hang with the cousins and Karen joined me for a bit, then ran back to her place to prep for company. I followed about an hour later and was treated to another quasi-birthday moment: my present from Karen was unveiled. She painted me a kick ass Doctor Who picture with two of my favorite men. Its now on my wall so I see it first thing when I wake up. Yipee! Me, Joe, MK, Chris and Karen hung at her place for a bit, then Rich and Heather showed up after awhile. We drank FCMs (GOOOOOODDDD stuff), read some tarot, and watched Clerks. My allergies started kicking in and I was forced to bail, but good times where had. Then like I said, lots of work stuff-blah blah blah.

Currently Im gearing up for book club and being the anal organizer of Ren Faire and Rocky trips. Thankfully I had today off. Woke up, had a light lunch and jumped into the pool, which in a way was pointless cause the water temperature was about the same as the temp outside. Oh well. Im off to finish dubbing Jonathan Creek and just chilling out... and maybe running to my sisters place for a massage. If my shoulders scrunch up anymore, I may snap my spine .

Till later.
