I need to join a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ...

By
In case you haven't seen the Sisterhood movie, there's a pair of pants. Said pants fit all of the four friends despite the widely varying body types.

I need a pair of those pants.

Maternity jeans were feeling lose last Monday so when mother-in-law and I went out shopping I decided to try on jeans. I stuck to sizes 12&14 and tried different kinds on. The problem was that though they fit around the waist the legs were HUMONGOUS. So I decided to wait a while.

Sunday I grew a bit impatient with waiting. Maternity jeans were threatening to fall off so I tried on my old jeans. Actually got them buttoned so I figured I could try on jeans again. Went to Walmart to try on my favorite brand of jeans (I love that my favorite jeans are at Walmart. So cheap ...)

They fit! Well, a size 12 did and it didn't make my legs look like they were swimming.

While I'm on the whole size/weight subject I'm happy to report that Damm weighs in at 176. That's thinner than when I met him (he is SO tickled about that).

The Orclette is getting taller so she hasn't really gained any weight. After yesterday's cookies she might've went up a pound ... (it was a buffet breakfast at church and everytime I turned my back she was scooping up another cookie).

The Miniorc has a double chin now. I think he was meant to be a 10-pounder baby based on the way he chows down. He fits into 3-6 month clothing now and size 2 diapers. Which is good because that's what everyone bought for me.

And my brother-in-law weighs exactly the same as me. He looks like a skinny rail. That's just so wrong ...

But 5 months to put it on, 5 months to take it off (I didn't gain any weight until 4 months into this second pregnancy because of morning sickness).

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

A tanking guide.

By
Here is the situation: Your guild has been busy all day long while your at work. You finally get home and log in and are informed that the GM(and main tank) is about to leave and you are now assigned tanking duty. You start to panic. You don't know what to do. And agro is already spiralling out of control. Ever been in that situation? I have. So I decided I would write a guide for this very situation. Step 1) Are the appropraite debuffs up? Step 2) Do you have the tools? Step 3) Are you practicing the fundamentals? Step 4) Are you prepared for the long haul? And Step 5) How to finish with a resounding silence. Are the appropriate debuffs up? You absolutely MUST have these debuffs up to start and you need to keep them up. There are only two of them and here they are in the order of priority: a) Clean Diaper. If Orclette's Diaper isn't clean you won't be able to contain the agro. I don't care how good your other fundamentals are. This is a MUST HAVE and should be chec...
