Four weeks ago, or about a week after my last post, a bunch of NEWS happened.
FIRST NEWS, and the most life-altering: My wife Marci (Agent M2) is pregnant. How about that. After a year of trying, we gave up...so naturally things just took there own course and wham-bam thank you missus, she's going to have a child around mid-February.
Happy? You bet. Scared? A little. We did plan this, after all, but you just can't know how you'll handle it til it happens.
OBSERVATION: Every single person, married or single, with children or not, has 'advice' to give about pregnancy and childbirth. Marci and I have chosen not to listen to any of it, since it mostly consists of how there will be no joy, privacy, sleep, or cool cars in our future. Thanks but no thanks-- we'll just read our baby book, thanks.
OTHER NEWS: We bought a house. That's right, not a 2-bedroom condo, but an honest-to-mortgage HOUSE. Yard and everything. It's got 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a studio, an unfinished basement, and a big wide open floorplan for the kitchen/dining/living room that makes it ideal to entertain in.
Plus, one of my oldest friends (17 years and counting) lives seven doors down from me. I can see him on HIS couch while I'm on MY couch watching TV. HOO yeah. The best thing? Laser pointers have enough of a range to reach our respective living rooms from each other's.
OBSERVATION: Domesticity IS pretty. Especially when combined with Equity.
Posted by Agent M at July 30, 2002 05:17 PMI am glad that you are not taking any advise about pregnancy, childbirth and child-rearing. This obsolves me of a terrible burden. I mean what would happen if I gave shitty advise and you actually followed it. That would make me responsible for your children. What a nightmare.
So I can go ahead and give completely awful advise like "Let peanut change the tanks on your ink-jet printer" and "feeding peanut nothing but Nutella and vanilla icing will increase the child's IQ" and I can do it completely guilt-free.
Thanks Agent M.
P.S. The most important advise I can give you is "Don't listen to anyones advise - just read the baby books".
Posted by: Quixote on July 31, 2002 09:00 PMWhoohoo! I'm so happy for you! Boy do I have alot of advise for you! Where do I start?
Heh, so anyways congrats to the both of you!
Posted by: Shell on August 1, 2002 02:11 PMDoes this mean that if I ignore all the advice I have been given since Kirin came along that I can have back my privacy, sleep, and cool car??? I never lost the joy. And I have the cool car now. And I am getting to sleep in more now too. Hmmm, the only thing left is privacy, and I have about as much now as I ever had or wanted. Hmmm.
Yeah, it's all bollocks! Do your own thing! Congrats!
I'll conceed that an "Echo" is a very good car - but it is _not_ a cool car. A cadillac convertable - that's a cool car.
Heh, I have an echo. I think it's cool :) Course we have "white riced" it up with Hello Kitty and Badtz Maru.
