The Betty Experience: Still Sleeping on My Side

Jun 22, 2009 4 Comments

Grr! So I totally lost the blog that I wrote while I was waiting for the cervidil (sp?) to be administered. So annoyed, but here are the highlights: 1) Maybe In-N-Out wasn’t such a good idea. Hello indigestion. 2) My nurse’s name is Mariah, and she was late b/c she was tending to twins that [...]

The Betty Experience: Into the Great Unknown…

Wow, so I guess it’s almost time to go to the hospital. CH and Angela got In-N-Out for our last pre-baby meal, and that’s all eaten. CH is wrapping up the many power cords that we’ll need to stay sane at the hospital (yes, we’re nerds to our deepest core). He’s also showing Angela all [...]

The Betty Experience: Dolmas Are Yummy, Sushi Would Be Yummier

More random thoughts: We’re on our 4th episode of Weeds, which means our Netflix reserves will probably run out and we’ll have to go to the video store before we hit the hospital. Any good movie suggestions? Still not freaking out, even though we’re getting pretty close here, and I’m a little concerned that I [...]

Trying to watch the 4th season of “Weeds” but so far have been interrupted by a couple of family calls, asking when and how the baby will be coming. Apparently no one in my family reads my blog, which makes me wonder about what new-fangled media Betty’s gen will come up with and if I’ll [...]

Nothing new to report. Angela is taking a much-deserved nap, since she left out at 6am this morning.

Hi Guys! Since I’m going into the hospital tonight, in order to get induced tomorrow morning, I figured that I’d start liveblogging about it now, since I might not be able to later.

Fierce OR Nerdy: Bake Off

Jun 19, 2009 17 Comments

. a blogumn by slpc I’m a little surprised by last week’s turn out. It would be a fair assumption to say most of our readers are liberal, but I was still shocked to see the large majority voted to legalize marijuana. I also noticed the comments section was a little emptier than usual — [...]

No, seriously guys, why are you still working? You know your heart, much less your mind isn’t really in it. You should totally procrastinate on this instead: 1. Just in case you were looking for yet another reason to hate Bank of America, heck out their latest overdraft screw offer. [Gawker] 2. Digital measuring tape. [...]

Photo Credit: Megan & David Powell Dudes, totally meant to ask you earlier this week, but never got around to it: Have you gotten a FaceBook username, and if so, what is it? I really, really, really wanted “etc,” and was poised to get it, but then it turned out that your username had to [...]
