09.12.01 I'm
still stunned and saddened by yesterday's events in NYC. Wey called
around 6:40am to tell us to turn on CNN. Half asleep, we watched, unable
to absorb it all. I started to freak when I realized that Bett's in
New York visiting her brother. I called, left messages on her cell,
and waited for a response. Ivy called with the good news that Bett was
okay....and an hour later, Bett called to confirm that. *exhale* We
watched the news coverage unfold ALL day and ALL night...and I have
to admit, the destruction and chaos was what I truly anticipated Y2K
to be like. I consider myself extremely fortunate that the people closest
to me were untouched by the tragedy....but that's not to say that we're
not unaffected. We are...all of us. Some of us weren't so lucky. My
brother-in-law lost a friend, who was on one of the LA-bound flights
that hit one of the Towers. My brother-in-law's friend is survived by
a wife and an unborn child. My On a lighter note...the cold that I've been battling for the past week is starting to go away, and I've finally regained control of my bladder. Yeah, you heard right...I no longer tinkle in my pants when I cough anymore. =) I was totally embarassed, cursing myself in the beginning, but then I just accepted the fact that when you're as big as I am, it can't be helped. Yes...the glamour of pregnancy. I promised myself that I wouldn't turn PEGPOWER into a pregnancy forum or anything. I mean, if that's what you wanted to read about, you can go onto www.Discovery.com/health or something, right? But then I realized...this IS my life...right now at least...you know, swollen feet, backaches, small bladder, the duck-walk, Lamaze class, etc. So bear with me. I'll try to keep the icky details to myself. I've
been trying to recruit for my "Dating Game"...and so far I've
had no success. I hit up all the good looking single brothers I know,
but as always, you have to stroke their egos and twist their arm to
get them to join. What is up with that?! I know, I know...the common
fear is "I don't want to seem desperate". Dudes....do you
realize how many females check out Oh,
