Amber, congrats!!!! I know how much you wanted a girl.

Of course, sometimes those ultrasounds have been known to hide boy bits. Just saying.

But squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

And I have to say, I actually looked forward to this week's blogs from you because I knew you were finding out this week.

Woohoo! Little girls are a scream. (Then they become tweens. That's another story.) Pigtails! Party dresses! Sleepovers! Dance recitals!

Congratulations.

But, I wanted a girl! I'm getting a girl. SQUEE!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! Little girls are SO MUCH FUN :-) (Although now that I thought my motherhood days were over, I'm finding the urge to have another one, and I want a boy ... I'll have to live vicariously through the expectant mothers I know)

Stupid spammers leaving silly levitra comments on my baby post. How rude!

And thanks to everyone else who congratulated me.

I love you ALL!

possessive

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life.

Something tha...

Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
