I hear “row” rather often. But then I’m just one of a gajillion other anglophones in Paris, so I guess that’s sort of normal since my English friends keep saying it and unloading their Brit chicklit on me.

I’ve read The Historian. Meh. The Hour I First Believed is good though a little on the pathos side (but then, that’s Wally Lamb). I haven’t read the Fearful Symmetry one yet tho (am waiting for a hand me down)… We seem to have similar reading tastes. Am interested in knowing your takes on them.

WIth regard to the supernatural books, would you mind a recommendation or two?

Jim Butcher- The Dresden Files (There’s 11 of these bad boys, with no end in sight, but they are all fantastic. The first is “Storm Front”)

M.L.N. Hanover- “Unclean Spirits” (there’s a sequal, “Darker Angels”)

Kat Richardson- “Greywalker” (+ three sequels, the first is the best)

OMG I just finished Sookie # 9 and I hate to say that it does not have the riding off into the sunset you were hoping for – damnit pick one would you Sookie? just pick one. Waiting until May for more dickering around (excuse the pun) with the vampires and other supes may kill me. I thought she got rid of Quinn way too easily.

I love the Historian – it is one of my favorite books. I’m so glad to see someone else who has an unholy love of unholy fiction books!

OK, I am a geek!

Uhhh, Shana, I thought it was pretty gross at first, too. I didn’t think the people who did it were gross, but some people are squeamish about handling blood, you know? And if you ARE squeamish about it, I don’t recommend the cup, as you probably know. It’s a … different experience than a tampon, that’s for sure.

@parkingathome:

Seriously? You can’t Google it? You have to act like other people’s personal care habits are weird and gross? I long for the day when those of us between middle-of-the-road and crunchy-hippie on the continuum can do our thing without anybody feeling the need to verbally turn a nose up. I think tampons are pretty freakin’ gross, but I don’t go around asking people how they deal with something that’s so OMG EWWW.

I liked the Harper Connelly books until the end of book three…you’ll see. I felt so awkward.

I second the amber necklace idea. It sounds voodoo but it’s not. I promise. I let my boy wear one, so there.

And the Cup? A gift to make the period somewhat bearable. Thank you Jesus.

This entry gave me the giggles for so many reasons. So good. If the 10-dollar box o’ food didn’t do it for you, your NaNiceMo can be that you gave me the giggles. Because giggles are priceless.

Have you read the Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanavitch? It’s awesome.

How, how, how do I become one of those lucky women who don’t get a period for ages after baby? My first child, it came back at six weeks. The lochia hadn’t stopped yet. Same with the second child. So not cool. So, I got the Mirena, but the “possible spotting” has now been going on for several months now. It’s getting old. Suggestions? And, yes, I breastfeed. Exclusively.
Anyone know if the Diva cup and Mirena are compatible. The internet has conflicting answers.
Why do infants need dessert? Heck, my four year old doesn’t need dessert. Nor do I, really.
