Pregnant!
We're Pregnant! I think anyone who knows me and is reading this already knows, but it's the first thing I ever have to say anymore :).

And, subsequently, I'm an emotional trainwreck -at least I'll blame pregnancy until August. Then I'll blame...um...oh, I Know! Post-Partem Depression!

I feel like all my emotional states have crashed off their tracks into a hopeless jumble of goods and traincar parts all fused together from the heat generated by the speed and viciousness of the pile-up. I got my happy in my anxious! It's not good like reeses :(.

Emotional states have devolved into a random parade of wild and flamboyant episodes trailing around my psyche in an endless meandering stream. None the less, I continue to draw information from my emotional reactions near things in my world (I can no longer justify that I respond TO things in my world -just that I am NEAR them when I emote). I considered ditching emotionally-based information and found it impossile. I'll just have to work with this random data and see how it goes. Maybe I can develop a whole new alternative to logic to accompany it. Perhaps I'll be able to see the Future with my new tools! Like Nostradamus! Did he have an emotional trainwreck? I doubt he had a pregnancy...

I haven't actually seen you to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! :-D Cori has told me that you're all aglow and have the cutest little bump. :)

There's some irony to your username and the subject of pregnant. ;)

Hee Hee! I know! Last year when I was bandying around names for my business someone suggested the Barefoot Gardener (I landed on Barefoot Gardens, anyway) but not before december when my business name went like this:

*snigger* The Barefoot and PREGNANT Gardner!*open laughter*

I wouldn't trade man hormones for woman hormones for anything. Men have it easy in that we are constantly bathed in chemicals, apparently designed to keep us constantly angry and hungry. It's rough as an adolescent, but as you age a bit you learn to devote appropriate cognitive resources to keeping these urges at bay. With men, our hormones are a relatively consistent, known entity.

Women, however, seem to live in a land of peaks and valleys. They're just screwed in terms of their ability to regulate themselves, by and large. Please don't think this sexist as I'm just trying to be honest. Women can't help that they're crazy. :) (runs off, counting on his superior muscle mass and spatial reasoning to save him)

Dude, the more I learn about the biochemical differences between men and women through the progression of their lives, the more I think God/Nature is sexist! We all play with what we're dealt, I suppose. We just have to learn to cope with living at the whim of a fay wind -rather than a constant, predictable pressure. My Fay wind is just going gale force right now!

Congratulations!

I'm glad to hear that you're doing well--we don't get a lot of news out of Ames anymore. How is the business coming along? Any more retaining walls? :)

The business is going well. I made money last year and I have customers and resources for this year. Hopefully, no more retaining walls quite that big for a while. I need to concentrate on more smaller projects to grow my customer base and extend my exposure :) But that wall actually wintered beautifully! We'll have some "after" pics here in a few weeks when the plants come up -she did the whole thing with bulbs for this year! Should be stunning. I'll post a good shot for you showing that problem area I was complaining about before. And, congratulations on the fantastic response to your resume! That's awesome! Sounds like your move to Lincoln will be smooth sailing :)

Thanks sweetest Trollgirl! Your huggles are always the best! You remind me too that any wackiness is so much more than worth it for the Bundle of OgreJoh we'll get in August!
