Even if you register, you’ll still get 10 waffle makers like we did. Wait, different registry. Well, you’ll probably get 10 diaper genies then…

Tell #1GF! that she can have up to two cups of coffee a day. Hell, she can have a glass of wine every now and then if she wants.

As a formerly pregnant woman, I have to tell expecting moms not to freak out by all the “IF YOU DO X YOUR BABY WILL BE BORN WITH 16 TOES!” stuff. Play it safe, don’t do anything too stupid like mainlining heroin, and you’re fine. She should enjoy the pregnancy, not worry about what she can and can’t have.

I like the expression “keeping the neighborhood affordable” when you refered to the junk in your yard. Big laugh!
I am also curious abut your resume inventioned. An extra page… hmmm…

At least your “hanging around the house” clothes actually involve clothes! :X

Pleeeeeeeease share your resume trick with us! Oh wait, but if you do that, all the kids will start doing it… damn.

When I started changing out of my “work clothes” and into my “hanging around the house in the evening clothes”, I started to feel like Mr. Rogers when he’d change from his street shoes into his little tennies at the beginning of his show.

@Macoosh: I’m glad you enjoyed my rambling insanity, but don’t risk losing a paycheck over them.

@Preston: Beyond being stricken with writer’s compulsion, injecting a laugh or stray thought into peoples’ days is the reason I write. I rarely get to hear about when it works. So, thanks for passing it along.

Oh, and I’m pointing at you with a “HA-ha” right now. Don’t get fired.

You made me laugh out loud when I read “#1GF! spent the day working and building a baby”… I’m at work… everyone heard me… there is about 150 people staring at me as I write this and wondering what was so funny. Thanks for the laugh.

although i’ve always thought #1GF is a hoot and a half (yes, I said hoot and a half), for some reason, she CRACKED ME UP this week in all her dealing with you.

This week’s post was lovely and long. And though I thoroughly enjoyed it, I may get fired for spending as much time immersed in your life. Ohhhh well. It’ll be worth it. LOL.

You crazy kids around Sat night?

1. So, what is the thing you added to your resume?

2. Invest $2 and get work gloves.

3. Another reason for registering is so you don’t get more than one of the same thing.
