Yes. They do.And No worries about the babified blog time! Not from this quarter anyways. That there mantis is a part of you and this blog is yours and I love reading it. So curious about how the whole “in house” time effects a person and what a neat person in this instance too. Oh still so laughing about Zorak. I am a big Brak fan.

I like you too lady. Oh wow! I had never eaten at such an established vegetarian place before. Only little toss up places with tiny menus. But Seva was ridiculous in a good way! I am very picky about my chili and I tried a cup of their and now am searching for that recipe. So damn good. And we got a spinach artichoke dip. They are ubiquitous now everywhere but theirs! Holy crap that stuff was from heaven.I think, from reading, that you are the kind of person that can laugh at yourself and not get too weighed down in what the hormones made you do. That is such a relief you know? Whenever my sister Jules gets pregnant she loses her verbal filter entirely and we all  understand that. It’s been hilarious too but we wait for the time it is safe to laugh. Oh man, some of the things she has said are like verbal armageddon. I can only imagine what goes on in her head at those times. But we are quite lucky in that she is also able to look back later and glean the gems from it all.When you wrote of yours it made me think of that. I hope that you readily and without hesitation allow yourself your thoughts and words during it all. And I hope those around you also understand it. It is so wonderful. Even in the midst of an enormous frustration and anger, the core of it is a kind of nesting IMO. Like this bloody world better straighten the fuck up before your child steps foot into it or there will be hell to pay! I love that.The little sister took it more internally with her pregnancy and that wasn’t as much fun, but everyone is different.  I wonder about blogs and how people respond to things like devil’s advocates sometimes almost instinctually and how that is just so not the way to go if a person is expressing something and that person has the blood of a mother surging through them. Jules had few readers and mostly family during her time blogging some vents and every body knew what was up. Thinking about what a devil’s advocate could have inspired if one had passed along during that time makes me wince for the commenter. Oh boy! But anyway, I hope you know here it is safe to let go if you need to. Water off backs it will be for those who know. I don’t have experience with the exact phenomenon, but I watch it and listen. And really, after it all is condensed, it is about love and that rules fiercely. Thank god it does somewhere!
