Wow, I Skipped Sunday?

I was busy yesterday on the computer, I just forgot to blog. Usually, if I miss a day I'm quite aware of it, but yesterday just slipped right passed. I am working on my women writers "zine" right now, working to publish the new issue, and it's a lot of editing/converting documents to HTML. I hate converting MS Word documents, because Microsoft, in their inevitable wisdom, puts all kinds of proprietary code into their documents which you have to strip out if you want your HTML to function well. Bleah! But then you have to go through and make sure you don't lose the things you need, like italics, or whatever. Phooey! But I'm almost done with said project, the zine will "go live" today in a few hours. It's a good issue-- I had guest editors do one on Feminist Mentoring.

Last night I performed a big exciting thing. I packed my bag for the hospital!! PJ's, toiletries, slippers, "going home" outfit-- all "check." I used the gorgeous red leather diaper bag my best friend gave me to pack my stuff in, since the babies' stuff is in a little black bag (which was purchased with the idea that Andrew will have a more "masculine" bag, plus, I don't want to share my cool red one.) :) I mean, have you noticed that countdown thing up there? Fewer than 30 days remain till my due date, and you can automatically deduct about 3 days from the countdown because it has my unrevised due date on it (which was initially July 7-- now is July 4). Then, you can deduct at least a week because my doctor said he would schedule my c-section either in the 38 or 39th week. So take off ten days and we're into the 20s!! If I make it that long, which I like to think I will, but which strangers and friends alike seem skeptical about. (As I've mentioned before.) I keep getting stopped by old ladies in the grocery store: "Oh, hon, I hope you go soon, don't you?" I must look like I'm uncomfortable. You know, I can't lie and say I feel perfect, but really, considering how big I am and how hard some things are (like putting on shoes!!) I actually am not feeling all that bad!

Anyway. Stop by my Women Writers site later today, would ya? (Give it a few hours from this post cause I still have some work to do). Cause it makes me feel all warm inside for my hit counter to pop up a bunch in a day.

Now, to go make myself that decaf latte and get to work.
