The Baby Formally Known as Peanut!

D.W.Q.M.: "EUREKA!" -the Third Doctor Congratulations!! to my friend Sarah and her husband Matt, on the arrival of their new son, Lucas Robert, aka, "Flash". ;) (*heehee* "Flash Leight"-cute!!) Lucas was born on Tuesday, April 27th, and he is just the cutest little thing!!!!! All 7lbs, 13oz and 20.75 inches of him! *heehee* ;) It was so cool following Sarah's journal through her pregnancy-I look forward to reading more about how the little one is adjusting to life outside the womb. :) Well, I, too lost in the pool. I said Peanut was going to be a girl. What I should have said was if Peanut was born on an even day: girl; Odd day: boy. I would have been right!! (Unless, of course, Lucas decided to wait an extra day-then I would have been wrong again.) LOL. One down, three more to go! (Well, 4-if you are counting number of babies, instead of the number of expectant mothers. ;) )

Baby(ies) to Be!

D.W.Q.M.: "EUREKA!" -the Third Doctor note: this quote may be used several more times-it's perfect for baby and baby-on-the-way announcements. ;) I would like to send out a big Congratulations! to my friend Sharon, and her husband Chris-they are going to be the proud parents of TWINS this coming October! Yay!!! The funny thing is, she told us about it just before I was planning on writing about how almost everyone I know is either getting married, having a baby, or buying a house, in one of my random thoughts post. She proved the point! ;) LOL. Speaking of babies to be, I'm still waiting "patiently" for word from my friends Sarah and Matt about the arrival of Peanut! ;) Apparently Jerm and Perseph have a pool going on, but I think both of their guesses have already passed. I'm going to start a pool of my own: Will Peanut be a boy, or a girl? I'm going to say "girl" no particular reason-after all, I have a 50/50 ch

"My mind is clearer now..."

WOW. I. LOVE. JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! Two guesses as to what I did tonight, and the first one doesn't count. Two guesses as to what my absolutely favorite musical in the whole wide world is...and again, the first one doesn't count. My first exposure to JCS wasn't a happy one-it was in high school-I was working on a big homework assignment, and my family was watching the 1973 movie in the living room. I was tired of working on my homework and upset that my family was watching an Andrew Llyod Webber musical without me , and when I walked in the livingroom, the first thing I saw was Judas being chased by a couple of tanker trucks-so my first impression was, 'what the heck are tanker trucks doing in B.C.?!?!?!' I was told that I needed to watch it from the beginning. So, the following weekend, when I was in a better frame of mind, I got to watch JCS from the beginning, and fell in love with it. I fou

D.W.Q.M: "That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy. Now please stop bothering me." - The First Doctor Random Stargate quote: "You ended that sentence with a preposition...Bastard!" -Col. Jack O'Neill Today's random thoughts are brought to you by the letters "T", "A", "C", and "O". ;) "T is for the Tastiness A is for Amazing C is 'cuz they're oh so Crunchy O is for "Oh, Ella spilled some bean on her shirt again!" N is because I Never get enough I is for the Insides all full of meaty goodness G is for the aforementioned Goodness H is 'cuz they make me happy T is looking forward Terrific Taco Night (or maybe Tantilizing Titty-Wrestling, I can't decide.)" (Taco email submitted by Jerm) Come, join in on the fun!

Marshmellowy goodness, and a Happy Easter to you!!

D.W.Q.M.: "The concept is simply staggering. Pointless, but staggering." -the Fourth Doctor Ah, it is a very quiet Good Friday afternoon, as most of my coworkers have taken the day off. Tonight I am going to play in the Good Friday procession at St. Rocco's for Italian band-the weather is looking good, so lets keep our fingers crossed! :) Since I'm not sure if I'll have the chance to post again before Easter, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Easter! So how many of us get Peeps in our Easter baskets? I have. For those of you who love Peeps and need a good laugh, and for those of you who can't stand Peeps but need a good laugh anyway, here are a few links for you to enjoy. The first two I had seen before, but couldn't remember the addys for, so I was excited when I found them on Bloggity-Blog-Blog-Blog . Here we have Peeps doing research . Here we have Peeps being researched . ...and just as you are starting to think that s

Ah, it's good to be a geek.

D.W.Q.M.: "Mind you, I'm not wild about computers myself, but they are a tool. If you have a tool, it's stupid not to use it." -the Third Doctor Okay, so III has been having trouble all day today-no one can get into the catalog-not the Innopac(telnet) users, Anzio users, or Millenium users. I've done everything I can do without the online program, and I spent all morning reading my book, so now I'll do a little blogging until they fix the problem-we got an email around 11:30 saying it was fixed, but I have yet to find someone who can actually use the system. ;) This weekend, my Marcon buddy Alicia and I went to visit some friends of hers that I met at my first Marcon, back in 2001. Karen and Chris (not to be confused with my college roommate and her husband-LOL!) are geeks, too-so of course we were going to have alot of fun!! They haven't been going to Marcon lately (they have two little girls- I'll call them Lizzikat and KC) but they are p

Random Thoughts-the Lunchtime Blogging Edition ;)

D.W.Q.M.: the First Doctor: "What do you think of that, now, eh? A Viking helmet." Steven: "Maybe." First Doctor: "What do you mean, 'maybe'? What do you think it is, a space helmet for a cow?" (this post was totally inspired by Persephone -I hope she doesn't mind!) If Persephone is the Slacker Queen , then I must be the Slacker Princess (queen in training) Good luck with your law school applications, Perseph! You rock! You have a good excuse for your slackiness. Me? I'm just plain lazy. ;) I seriously need to update my main site-my front porch is still in winter, and it's spring! (well, technically it's spring) Plus, I was hoping to have added much more to my main site by now...oh, well-I still think I am quite new to this whole 'website' thingy. (*heehee* Don't they call that 'circular reasoning?') ;) Speaking of site updates...my travel dog page also needs some serious updating-I s

'Don't end up in one of my books...'

D.W.Q.M.: Ian: "Where's your spirit of adventure, hm?" the First Doctor: "It died a slow and painful death when those bats came out of the rafters." Yesterday Persephone and I trekked out to the Borders in Cleveland Heights to meet author John Stark Bellamy II, who has been chronicling tales of woe, crime, and distaster of the Cleveland of yester-year. His fifth book on this subject, Death Ride at Euclid Beach follows the same morbid pattern as his other books: They Died Crawling, and Other Tales of Cleveland Woe; (1995) The Maniac in the Bushes; (1997) The Corpse in the Cellar; (2000) and, of course, The Killer in the Attic (2002) -the first book that Perseph and I read of his, and consequently, the book that got us hooked! Perseph, who had been looking for something to read, found The Killer in the Attic in our library's catalog, and asked me to pick it up for her. I looked at the book and told her that she'd have to let me read it
