Sometimes Bad Weather Follows Good People

[crazydiamondsue]

Greetings from Hell on Earth! I'm not even going to address the stupidity (and possible Sonics-transfer butt-hurt at work here) of the writer, other than to say that I have been to West Memphis, AR at midnight and to a Port-a-Potty in Mexico City during July and I therefore know of hell on earth as far as the Western World goes and OKC is so very not it.


Hi! What up? The reasons for my lack 'o posting are three-fold: I currently have no fannish opinions (other than Dean funny, Sam pretty); work will be non-stop 'excitement' for the next month; and I am utterly uninteresting unless you want to hear rants on unnecessary hospital birth interventions, the intricacies of breastfeeding and the fact that my boobs are enormous (okay, that last one is moderately interesting.)

Other than the random Hapsburg Dynasty knowledge I was able to drop the other day at work (our conversations are...lively) every bit of my not-too-shabby IQ, massive amount of undergraduate hours and boundless curiosity and humor about this, our wondrous world, are completely dormant. I have no interest in anything other than paint chips and perfecting my chocolate chip cookie recipe. This is hardly surprising, considering my obsessive tendencies, but I'm afraid the next "shiny" to distract me is going to be potty training and that's just...depressing. Hah!

No! I forgot -- my next shiny is the (according to the extensive pregnancy/childbirth/parenting library I'm accumulating) phenomenal calorie burning power of breastfeeding and the fact that I anticipate being a size 2 by December and will be changing my LJ name to crazydiamond_MILF. Okay, not really. But it freaks my brother out when I tell him that. :)

And in closing, elcazavampiros was a stone cold fox in his regalia and suit at graduation Friday night (this was his first as the assoc. dean handing out diplomas) and, you know, academia turns me on. Speaking of stone cold fox, I think I have a future in Motherhood Maternity modeling.

Or at least advanced-maternal-age pregnancy fetish porn:


Please tell me something that doesn't involve the words lactation, effacement or, um, cervical mucus. (Unless it's Faith/Buffy cervical mucus. That, as always, is fine.)

You, um, weren't kidding, were you? (wasn't online before, got caught up in wank just now and didn't get to see before now)

Hi, bb! I want to hear all about everything :)

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

And just think, they'll just get bigger after the birth!

Ooo wank! SGA? Political? Religious? Racial? Deets, woman, deets!

Hi Andrea ILU.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

I remember when I was pregnant that the only thing that interested me was the back of my eyelids and Charmed reruns. And radishes. OMG did I have radish cravings.

*admires your rack*

You know, breastfeeding does help you lose the weight. Four weeks after I had Emma I had lost all the pregnancy weight plus another twenty or so. (0f course, I was also not eating but the breastfeeding helped. LOL)

ETA:

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Which is not to advocate the not eating as it is not good for you.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've had a radish since I've been pregnant. *thinks* I have a renewed affection for avocados and I've discovered the glory that is Root Beer (it's caffeine-free and I hated it before.) I'm totally taking advantage of the BF diet. It's like lipo, in a way. *g*

[byrne.livejournal.com]

Dude. That's a very impressive rack :D

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Even I was unaware of the enormity until I saw the pictures. Yikes! :)

[julia-here.livejournal.com]

Hell on Earth? Mais non, although I have to admit that The Villiage without AC is as close as I want to get.

Wowza the boobification! And breastfeeding is really never more complicated than trying to get the fourth bottle since midnight and before dawn ready for a six week old, according to a woman I know who has done both (me, I breastfed both of mine).

Julia, a portapotty at the Gorge in August is about the sixth circle, especially when it's a Dead reunion show.

a portapotty at the Gorge in August is about the sixth circle, especially when it's a Dead reunion show Oh dear God. That wins.

The Village without AC *is* a contender (Caza, Uberaeryn and I went to the theatre to see "What's Love Got to Do With It" twice in a row for that very reason.)

I'm excited about breastfeeding. And it would just be a crime to waste what's obviously a motherlode. Heh. Motherlode.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

wishes I had something interesting to say.

er ... we booked our vacation to Nova Scotia finally? it's in my latest post.

The boobs ASTOUND me.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

You're always interesting. And Novia Scotia!!!! I'm so jealous. I will be reading now.

I know. The boobs have their own pillow.

[laisserais]

hi! you got a baby inside you.

have some pretty?

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Awww! The pretty!! I had a fantastic dream about him the other night. It was sweet schmoopy and I also got to hook up with Sandy. And then I woke up drooling and craving pop-tarts. Blueberry ones. Such is life! :)

[ely-jan.livejournal.com]

I am now serenading you with Brick House complete with dance moves. It's stunning.

As are you. *hearts* MILF indeed!

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Shake it down, shake it down now! I'm mentally picturing your dance moves and grinning like a dork. *adores*

[anelith.livejournal.com]

Hi again Sue! That link made me go Whaaaa? Mogadishu, Pyongyang, Chernobyl, and... OKC??? Tell me it's just for shock effect and a good laugh, right? RIGHT?

You are so right about the breastfeeding. Not only will you lost weight, you'll be ravenous. I was, at least. People could not believe how much I ate.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

According to the sources I found, the writer is a Seattle native disgruntled about the move of the Seattle SuperSonics to OKC. Otherwise, it's just so very random (not to mention both the blizzard and tornado information is wrong. I mean, if he'd dinged us on racism, homophobia, corruption and lack of musical diversity, I would have shrugged and said, "That's fair." *g*)

I'm seriously hoping to be a size 6 again by December. We shall see...

[cityphonelines.livejournal.com]

Y'know, OKC? So not hell. I mean, really? OKC on level with CHERNOBYL?!? Seriously?

Send me perfected chocolate chip cookie recipe? I need to make a thank you package for a friend that sent me the most awesome blender I have ever met.

Also, it's entirely possible that I'm making another SPN fanmix. Judge me and I'll steal all your minimizers.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Inorite? I mean, parts of the panhandle, sure, but OKC? Pfft. It was SuperSonics wank, I'm sure. (Er, at least according to what I read on the internet.)

I will email you the recipe in T-2 seconds. Can you email me your box.net password so that I can listen to your stuff? I'm tired of my music. I want your new SPN fanmix like, now. *clings to minimizers* Feel free to have a bra drive for me. A bra raisin'. OMG - a bra-zaar! I'm hilarious. Also? I need a boob icon. Think on that for me in your spare time. When are classes over?

[trepkos.livejournal.com]

You look amazingly happy!
When she was near giving birth, my sister did not look happy at all!
She's happy now though.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I'm ecstatic at 25 weeks. How I'll feel at 37-41 weeks or so in August in the southwestern US remains to be seen. Yikes. I've loved being pregnant, though. I'm watching what I eat, but if I have ice cream I don't feel guilty and I've physically felt really good. Plus I've never been skinny-skinny, so the weight gain doesn't really bother me. But I'm a wierdo...

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

You look awesome!! And should be showing off more cleavage, missy. Missus.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I have no cleavage shirts! Which is odd. Well, I have shirts, but it's beyond cleavage to the point of Oh, Dear God, what is that????

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

You look GORGEOUS!

*hugs gently*

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! I feel pretty good, too. :)

[whtamarshmallow.livejournal.com]

You look great!

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Icon? Love. Thank you!!

[angstpuppy.livejournal.com]

Dear god lookit the boobies! I went up a cup size with each pregnancy until I hit the family average of 36D. Then after Pupson I went on birth control and exceeded the family average and my bra budget...
But, aside from the bodacious tatas you got going there, I'm lookin' at the hair. That is some wonderful, gorgeous, FABULOUS hair!
Dean likes the boobs, Sam wants hair tips.
TRUFAX!

Sam needs all the hair tips he can get this season

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. You're cracking me up.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

I went to see 'Baby Mama,' for some reason, and a doctor actually uses the phrase 'advanced maternal age' -- or something else that I had seen on your blog. I laughed.

Also, the 'Iron Man' movie is awesome!

And Oklahoma City is very far from hell, esp. with you and Caza there.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

We haven't gotten to see "Baby Mama" yet (maybe next weekend) but we both have huge Tina Fey love so it's on. You laughing at AMA just made me laugh. "Iron Man" is? Eddie and I were both "eh?" about RDJ as a superhero (although yes, we thought of Michael Keaton) and we don't know much about the canon, but we'll go with an open mind. Speaking of canon, I've been watching "Justice League Unlimited" with Eddie and it's awesome. But then, I always was a DC whore...

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

Sue, you are GLOWING. I mean, cliche, but true.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

That's just beams of pure happiness. *hugs you hard*

[tabaqui]

You know, a lot of European couples/parents start potty training at about two months and their kids are out of diapers by about a year. Wish i'd known about that!!

Nice rack, bay-bee.
:)

Um, Dean is funny but he is *also* pretty, and Sam is pretty but he is *also* funny. And - they're both *tall*. And the Impala is *shiny*.

*yeah, i got nuthin', i'm drowning in pollen, here*

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Um, Dean is funny but he is *also* pretty, and Sam is pretty but he is *also* funny. And - they're both *tall*. And the Impala is *shiny*. Dear Tabi, ILU.

Bah on pollen! Bah, I say!

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Yow. Impressive! Breastfeeding took me up to a C.

Also, back to five pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight (which was not excessive) in a month. It really does rock. My husband was jealous: "I wish I had a way to dump fat directly out of my body!" *g*

Are you going to share the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe with the world? *hopes*

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Ah, a C cup! Takes me back to junior high and the glorious 80s. *g* I will be sharing the perfect chocolate chip cookie with the world! Here in about five seconds! Your icon makes me smile.

[elucidate-this.livejournal.com]

WOW you weren't kidding about the boobs.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

And you've seen the beta version in person. These are just...wowsers, even to me. *g*

[globalfruitbat.livejournal.com]

DUDE. BOOBS -- awesome! You look totally fine, as in fiiiine, lady.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I have no boob icons, I must remedy that. Maybe the nekkid pics of Charisma that read "Whatchu callin' Mom boobs?" Hmm. I'll have to think on that. *g*

[lettered.livejournal.com]

I like how the light reflects off them.

You're looking awesome, hon-with-a-bun.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Hee! You can see them from space. Spaaaaaace! We just got a pair of baby monkey socks from one of Caza's adjunct profs. Eee! I'm so happy to see your icon (which still looks like you to me) that I could just pop! (Except not pop, because that would get baby everywhere...)

[ambergypsy42.livejournal.com]

You look great! You should take one of those side view shots to show off your pregnant bump!

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I tried, but because of the cut of the shirt, I just looked like I was wearing a lot of shirt -- this was the pic where I looked the most "pregnant." And thank you!
