LAdies and Gentlemen, if you know a pregnant woman, please don't assume that she can't do simple tasks. If she lifts and moves things, it's cause she can. Don't patronize her by giving her crap. I actually got my hand slapped cause I moved a fouton out of the way so I could get behind it. I am a strong girl... and foutons on hardwood are easily moved. Yet somehow... what? I am not supposed to carry on with real life due to my knock-upedness?

In 2008, I was still on Mat leave and got to watch the "Big 3" E3 conferences live. Microsoft had ended their spiel... or had they? The lights went down and Final Fantasy XIII was announced for the 360. I freaked. I am an unabashed FF fangirl. I cut my teeth on Japanese role playing games (JRPGs). I was seriously thinking of buying a PS3 for one game and one game only. That game was Final Fantasy XIII

Both this gaming season and last gaming season, I created a gmaing budget and, for hte most part I stuck with it. I found that I was wasting lots of money on games I didn't *love*. What I found worse than losing money was losing time. I don't game as much as some (most?) of the folks on this site. If i can get 3 hours a night in I am SO lucky... but that doesn't happen too often. I'm looking at 2 hours usually. I never game Fridays, and rarely Saturday nights (unless I'm sick) and usually during the week I get somewhere between 2-4 nights in. Sometimes it's none.

Yikes... it just kinda hit me. I'm pregnant... that means a baby is on the way. (yeah... I have a biology degree... what?) It's actually odd thinking of having a wee little one around the house again. We have some things to get (basinet, rocker chair or swing) perhaps clothes.... Not many if we have a girl, but lots if we have a boy. Actually... not THAT many, we bought Erica lots of boy clothes: boy pants fit better for active kids, and girl shirts are often over the top girly... not our thing. We have been talking names. We have a girl name picked out, but no boy names have grabbed us.
