I don't think Nessie liked seeing Santa all that much. The poor little thing started crying her little eyes out when we took her for her portrait.

I can't believe it's almost 4 weeks. Thursday my little Christina will be 4 weeks old. My mother is leaving tomorrow to head home. My dad left on Saturday, after the world's most crazy Thanksgiving. I have a feeling they'll be back for Christmas? I'm definitely not driving up there for Christmas.

The pain pills make me a bit loopy. But I'm weaning off of them. Thank God.

Sorry for the TMI. I'm not sure how to shut my mouth off lately.

Yeah, I'm not sure why Americans are so crazy for Black Friday. One of the girls made me go with her promising I would love it... Didn't happen. It's stupid. I got pushed around and ran into for what? A few things.

I'm not sure why people find this fun or is it just me?

Thank you for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, mom. You're the best. Sit and relax and I'll take care of the dishes. Siblings? Bella? I enlist your help.

Beyond the panicking I'm already doing, how am I supposed to EAT? Is this what Orange County does to people? What -the- fuck? I can't eat without a mouth! I don't even. What am I supposed to DO?

Um? Help.

I'm excited to take Nessie Trick R' Treating. And then soon she'll have her first Thanksgiving and her first Christmas. I feel so overwhelmed. This time last year I was preparing to be a new father and now my little girl is celebrating so many firsts in her life.

I think I'll take her and Bella to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend and pick out a pumpkin for us to carve as a family.

Halloween Costume rules for my daughter: (she's 11)
-No midriffs exposed
-No weapons
-More skin must be covered than if she was wearing a bathing suit.

Not being unreasonable, am I?

You know...I miss the days when the night shift was nice and quiet. Some idiots are having Halloween too early for my liking. I had three drunk frat boys come in bloody and banged up because they tried to FLY like Superman. The culprit? One too many candy corn cocktails.

All this paper work and having to jump through hoops is exhausting. Thankfully, I think it's coming to an end soon. Or at least I hope so. It seems as though there are endless forms to be filled out and signed and checked and so on and so forth.

I just want to give Adam a good home, is that so much to ask?

Can someone bring me some lemonade? Or just lemon juice. I just want lemons. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Only, when you're me, and 37 weeks pregnant, the saying should be "When life gives you lemons, eat."

Why must little girls grow up?

Of course, I didn't have her in my life when she was a little girl, she came to me only a few years ago, but in a way that makes me all the more nostalgic for the years I haven't had with her.

It isn't as though I'm losing her completely, of course. But my Abigail is practically a grown woman now, eighteen years old and off at college.

Do other parents feel this way, I wonder?

Hey, y'all! So the vintage of my wine that just came out good for drinkin' - I made way too much. So I'm gonna give anyone who answers this a free bottle of their choosin'. Just let me know what kinda fruit you like best, and I probably have somethin' you can have.

Legal people. No high schoolers are gettin' free wine from me. Jail ain't near as fun as they make it out to be on Showtime late at night.

Ok so, looking back on this past week and I realise I may have been behaving a bit weird. I have drawn...so much and slept so little that either my sketches are sheer genius or absolute crap! Here's hoping the former so they'll be worth more when I'm dead :-P

I have figured out a couple things.

First - Fevers cause me to do stupid shit, like text babble.

Second - My gem hunting days are over.

Third - Substitutes really don't do that much, except let the kids watch movies all day.

I feel a lot better. Instead of hit by a truck, I've only been hit by a Prius.

My first week at Art school went really well. My classes look interesting and there seem to be some really nice people around who recommended I try this site to meet more locals, so hi, I'm Clary!

(OOC: ETA, spoken to Snipe because I'm an idiot and did Clary's age/education wrong, so she attended a summer art school and is now attending Creekside high)

The summer has been enjoyable, but I'm ready to start helping my dad at the hospital again. I'm ready for early morning classes, spending time with the wife and daughter, a few hours of sleep and late night shifts. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Mom, Alice? This will require coffee, lots of coffee.

So much shopping. I love having some space to start preparing for the baby's arrival. Even though it's a bit early, I can't help myself. There's just such cute stuff out there. I didn't buy much, this was more reconnaissance. I've got so many great ideas... let's just hope I can do them all.

I bought a brand new tub of shea butter lotion... for the stretch marks? Not sure it's doing much good, but I realized when I got home that I've already got a tub my sister-in-law gave me. Pregnancy brain, y'know? Anyway, you want this one? I figure I can bring it by along with some maple bacon donuts and we can have a little stretch mark party.

Hello Valarnet!

I've managed to secure a room twice a week at the public library to take art classes. They will be very informal - adults and children welcome and I will be running them throughout August.


Monday 10:00-13:00 Sketching, painting with watercolour and pastels, other forms of canvas based art


Thursday 18:00- 21:00 Practical art - collages, sculpture, etc.

If you would like to let me know if you are thinking of attending so I can get an idea of numbers that is great but please feel free to just turn up too.

The baby's the size of a honeydew melon now, apparently! I'm 35 weeks along, and only five more to go. THAT'S SO CRAZY. It seems like just yesterday Pete and I were practicing to make one, period! The nursery's all set up and the bathroom's all set with all the stuff I'll need for when the little one starts to arrive.

I should probably tell Pete sooner or later that I'm going to deliver at home, huh.

If any'a y'all want to come to the B&B for the weekend, just mention the Valar Network and I'll give y'rooms for half price. See what I do when I get bored? I got as much sense as a goose with two bills some days.

Another late night with Nessie, so I watched the last two Harry Potter movies--and after all that, she STILL wasn't asleep. It's going to be a long night. Poor little thing, Bella and I are going to have to take her to the doctors tomorrow.

I hope everybody had a wonderful July 4th - I've sent my husband into the hospital today with leftovers and a few pies I made.

It's very busy there with all of these terrible attacks and I thought the staff and patients could use a little energy boost.

Also once all this business is sorted - which I hope will be soon - I am offering art classes over the Summer to those who wish to take them. They don't have to be anything too heavy just for fun if you like. I can tailor to suit. Let me know if you would be interested and I will see about booking a room once a week or something.

I'm going to go with I did great today. Only had to make one trip back to the house because I forgot the diaper bag. At least I didn't forget the baby. It was a nice day. I wish we stayed out late enough to see the fireworks. I did get to see them on the ride home though. It was almost the same to watch them on TV.

So, I was told that I should get out there and start making friends, considering I've been out here for three years and spend most of my free time helping my brother-in-law with my nieces. I was told that this is the easiest place to try and make friends, so I thought I'd give it a chance.

I'm Esther Drummond and like I said, I've been out here for about three years now. I'm originally from Virginia. I work at the Coliseum restaurant and also like to bake in my free time. I know, sounds kind of boring, but that's me, kind of boring. Wow, I bet that makes everyone want to jump at the chance to be my friend, huh?

And apparently we're not like breakfast today.

It wouldn't be that bad if half of what I tried to give her didn't end up on my shirt. Now to my list of chores today I can add doing laundry and mopping in the kitchen. As well as an early bath for yours truly. If only she could have told me before I made it for her.

All this before I had my coffee.

I've got my 20 week ultrasound on Friday. I haven't decided whether or not I want to know the sex of the baby ahead of time.

Also, I apologize if whoever I snapped at earlier is on this network. But, in my defense, it really is NOT your dog's business whose baby I'm carrying. Not sure why he asked in the first place.

Can the animals stop talking now?

I do believe my children may regret letting me onto the internet when I start gushing about how wonderful they are and how proud I am of them all but I think they know me well enough by now. Besides I am sure it is the role of a parent to embarrass their children. At least that is what I am sticking to.
