jen - ha, the skirt is for me, the shorts are for DH.

leelee - Ok...this puke talk is making me nervous...but I get what you are saying.  If you finally do get sick than the anxiety of getting sick goes away because it's over.  I haven't had the stomach flu since I was in 2nd grade (I'll probably get it now that i said it) but I did get sick 2 times in 2004 once after my first massage and once from mild food poisoning.  At least I am not nearly as freaked out about it as I used to be...yep I was WAY worse.  

spike - the only other lulu item DH owns is a sweatshirt I bought him years ago, and he says it is "too warm". whatevs.

Lee - No idea why...I think because when I was sick my mom would get super angry to the point of making me feel bad for being sick.  She wasn't angry at me...she was angry that I was sick but it came across as anger with me.  I also think it is a control issue. It is something I can't control and I HATE that.  The fear of losing control of my body and what is does scares me.  Other than that...not real sure.  My cousin has the exact same thing that I do and our siblings and other cousins don't get it.  He is a 28 year old so we are both trying to figure out what we have in common that makes us fear this so much.  I also hate blood, guts, the smell of hospitals extra.  Ugh...I get nauseous when I walk into a hospital.

Afternoon ladies... 

RR - just did a 45 min Nike workout while watching survivor

TR - was a very good girl while I drug them around doing errands this morning.  Took off her pullup last night in the night and peed the bed, DH got up and changed everything.  I think we're going to start taping her pullup on.

BR - having a great nap!  I think I might try spike's suggestion of a faster flow nipple on the bottle - or have DH try that tomorrow.  we'll try a couple things but if it doesn't work then I'll just not bother.  It's only anther month till she should be ok for 4 hrs between daytime feeds, and then 2 mos till she eats solids, and then I'll start the sippy.

FR - getting takeout chinese tonight.  It was supposed to be a dinner out but instead we'll eat with MIL, celebrate her bday, and then DH and I will go to a wine bar, and maybe to a movie if we can stay awake that late.

NRR - almost have everything for my advent calendar for M - I wanted a felt nativity scene but couldn't find one locally and of course didn't plan this with enough time to order anything online, so I got a bulletin board nativity set, it should work ok though, I don't have quite enough characters but I'll just print out a few extra sheep or camels or something.
