Fruitful.
Well, we got us one of them girl babies today. The NYC contingent had a beautiful, long, and lean baby girl this morning. I was wrong, and glad of it. We need more women in this family. HAHAHA.
Also, in doing Japan research, I may have stumbled across what I want my new career to be.

Babies coming out our ears.
Well, the NYC part of the family went into labor today, and last I heard has contractions less than ten minutes apart. I fully expect to have a shiny new member of the family in the morning. I am convinced they are having a boy, but won't mind at all if I'm wrong.
S is ready. She has her last pre-op visit in the morning. I believe this last week will be a long one for her.
A-man is a sweet, pathetic, sick, little guy today. He went to the Doctor, and it turns out he has an ear infection/chest congestion. We had a big vomit episode this afternoon as well. I feel so bad for him. Despite it all his spirits are high, and we managed to get some playing in.
I have just been given an airline ticket to Japan, for god only knows what reasons. Still, I will treasure it, and attempt to have the best time possible. Watch out...slide shows to follow!

List.
1. A week from now we will have a new baby.
2. I closed my office, said my thanks, and moved on.
3. P.C. and I saw a bobcat and then ate "cook your own" asian food.
4. Jillo and her Mammy are on the road, headed (permanently?) to Portland.
5. I can't decide if I should go to Japan if I'm by myself.
6. I keep compulsively getting on line looking for something, and realizing I'm looking in the wrong place. I wonder if I put all my personality quizzes in front of me, if a pattern will pop out. The big slap in the face "THIS is your career" obvious thing I seem to keep missing.
7. I love hiking.

Heaving.
I'm having a "what the hell is wrong with me" day.
The weekend was strange, and I didn't get much done.
I was hoping I would get an invite to hang out with PC Friday night, but instead I got an irritating phone call made in a car full of "the guys" telling me we could still do something Saturday, but that he had made other plans for Sat. A.M. that would eliminate all possibility of a trip to the Aquarium. I was mad, but didn't want to talk about it [not while he was in a car full of snickering guys]. Now, I had PMS in a big way, and couldn't let it go. I did something I try not to do and got dramatic. I sent him a text message (which, thinking his phone was dead, didn't think he'd get until MUCH later) saying that I'd just rather not hear from him again. Four minutes later I got an apologetic call. At that point, I was tired, hungry, irritated, hormone filled, and on the verge of tears (again, I'm not much of a crier). I told him I didn't want to talk, but that he could check his email later.
Skipping some of the details, we ended up hanging out Sat. night. We had a good discussion (which felt very adult) about neither of us wanting to get too serious too fast. It was good and open, and I explained that above all else I just want respect and honesty. We agreed there was no need for exclusivity at the moment. It lacked the passion one associates with a good romantic relationship, but it felt more adult than any other situation I've gotten close to. The only hitch is, I gotta tell ya, the girly part of me still feels a little rejected. The Cinderella part still wants Prince Charming, or at least the strong minded, independent cowboy who's totally head over heels without being smothering. I'm so dorky! ;-)
Sunday I saw the ocean. It was beautiful. Green and blue and the waves were heaving, rolling, spray was blowing off the tops. It felt like me.
Last night I started a list of my "little goals". Those things I'd like to do or experience in my life just for myself. For example:
Hike the Haute Route in Switzerland
Become proficient at Ballroom Dancing
Spend time in the south Pacific
Make Narrow Vision official and publish at least one thing
Go to Machu Picchu
See a bamboo forest in China or Japan
Sleep in a yurt in Mongolia
See cherry blossoms, hot springs, and temples in Japan
Now today, I feel unhealthy and directionless. Like the waves rolling fiercely. Heavy and persistent, wearing down those things I come in contact with, and dissolving.
That being said, I'm not in a bad mood. I just REALLY want to get somewhere, be strong, meet my goals, and serve my purpose. Oh and be kissed REALLY passionately on a regular basis.

I will try to remember.
Well, a bunch of stuff has happened. I am tired, and watching M.A.S.H., so I probably won't get much of it down.
Um. A-man has been mostly cute, and a little bit insanely two.
I am finally able to breathe, as Jillo has officially been offered an AWESOME job in Portland...I'm SO excited!!!!!
I've been cooking cooking cooking.
The girly Homies came down, and were so nice and fun. I miss them. It makes me want to get settled back down in SF a bit.
I'm itching with anticipation for our Lady in Waiting to arrive. I would at least like to know her name. ;-)
P. Coltrane and I saw Brokeback Mountain last week, it was SO sad and so beautiful!
We were supposed to get together over the weekend, but he had to work. We decided to get together on Mon. evening. I told him it was his turn to come up here. He finally called at almost 6:20 P.M. to tell me he was coming. It was about 9:30 P.M. when he finally showed up. I was very tired and grumpy at that point. I was wondering what the heck I was doing with a guy who couldn't follow directions, talks on his cell phone too much while driving, and is too whatever to buy a car charger for his cell phone. I think it was the hunger, and I feel a bit bad now about giving him a hard time. I am hopefully going to the Monterey Aquarium with him on Sat. Who knows?
