A friend of mine decided to order a package and have it shipped to my address, and for whatever reason, decided to go ahead and place the order before checking with me that it's ok to do so. He assumed that I would be home when he wouldn't, and therefore he'd get his package faster. Not a horrible assumption considering how exhausted I've been lately, but more importantly, he didn't get a chance to verify my address beforehand. He didn't put the address exactly right. I do not blame DHL for this part. I will say, though, that every online map service I know of is able to find our flat with the address as he gave it, so although I do totally blame said friend for doing something stupid, we both thought the package would still arrive.But wait! There's more!

That tank top used to cover my belly.

Thanks for the tag, Janine!

One site I go to regularly will not let me on anymore. Another is bugging every time I log in, such that it sends the same message to one of my friends every few seconds, and I can't make the chat window go away. Another is completely dead. Another has a couple of members that are annoying me to the point that I don't find it worth going. Yet another has ridiculous moderators on power trips and I'm losing my patience with that too. It's probably just as well since I've been ridiculously tired lately.

I haven't experienced any Braxton Hicks ("practice" contractions) during the pregnancy, until a few days ago. Now I'm getting a couple every day, and it's pretty exciting. I feel like things are really gearing up and getting ready to go. Not that I have any indication how long it takes to get ready, but at least something is happening. My track record on being patient is not very strong, and I'm surprised how laid back I feel about the whole birthing thing. I'm ready to go now, but hey, if it's another month that's cool too. I never thought I'd feel that way!But wait! There's more!
