Erin's short term memory is ...non-existent.
She is constantly late because she forgot where she put her purse, shades, & keys. However 99% of the time while she is looking for she is actually wearing/carrying them.

She's probably just remembered what it was like to go into labor again. In her subconscious hyteria she's trying to block it out again.This has "bled" into other areas of her memory. Mother nature is very cunning. You forget what labor is like (hit by a truck) until you get pregnant again...then it's too late! PJ

PJ, I can't imagine you'd have to reach up for too many things. You're the kind of person that little ol' me likes to have around to do my reaching for me.

Let's see, did anything funny happen to me? I can't think of anything much. Oh, DH had a co-worker that was an actor, and he invited us to one of his parties when I was about 3 or 4 months pregnant, not quite showing yet. (It's been so long, I don't remember when I started showing.) Anyway, this party was quite interesting, full of theatre people. A man approached me, and thought I'd be perfect to be in the play he was going to direct, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf." It turns out that the part he wanted me for was that of a young wife that has a hysterical pregnancy, meaning she thinks she's pregnant, has the symptoms of being pregnant, but isn't really. I explained to the gentleman that I was pregnant, so he'd really need to reconsider. He actually kept on about it for a while, thinking that I had that perfect, "mousy" look, until I convinced him that by the time the play was going to be presented, I'd be about 8 months pregnant, and no one would believe it was all in my mind. Although I knew it wasn't personal, I was actually kind of insulted that he thought I looked mousy, anyway.

Thanks Sally, I think it would be nice to be petite and dainty. NOBODY has ever described me as "cute" either.

Mousy? WTF? You're fairly outgoing and have an opinion so it wasn't your personality. You have tons of deep brown/reddish highlighted gorgeous,wild curly hair, tan skin and (not a mousy color in sight)so it wasn't your looks. The shirt I saw you wearing was dark purple,with a multicolored,bright geometric design across the front so it's not your style either. (Your pic is on Garden Gate if your wondering about my superb memory about what you were wearing.)
I guess it's true about some theatrical people having a problem with drugs.
You'd be cute pregnant. I'll bet you stayed skinny and it looked like you swallowed a beach ball! PJ

First of all, I have only seen pics of you Sally but I have told several people how attractive you are

The funniest thing was the old wives tale that I heard all of the time from my first MIL "oh, don't touch yourself while you're pregnant or you'll mark the baby"

Eventhough, I didn't believe that.It was years later and already had 2 girls when I was pregnant with my first son, we went to the movies to see JAWS, right after "we're gonna need a bigger boat" part a little boy started hollering "Mommy,Mommy make her let go of me"

When I got scared my arms went to each side and I had a death grip on the little boy's leg and the other on DH's leg on the other side, lol Instead of covering my eyes or hugging myself I had grabbed away from my body because I didn't want to mark the baby, ugh

I heard the reaching thing like PJ

I didn't hear that one! Mark it with what? Like a bruise on it's noggin? PJ

Who knows, she was a witch, lol
I think she meant wherever you touched yourself the baby would be deformed in someway. I have to say tho, I had heard that before while growing up but never paid it any mind until I would be pregnant.

PJ, I tried googling it and I needed permission to gget into the only link that was about that subject

PJ, I wasn't trying to insult you about your height. I envy people that have nice long legs and are tall. I actually did pack on some weight when I was pregnant.

Jolana, hiding behind a little boy. Tch tch tch. (grin)

Sally

One of my neighbors had to sit flat on the ground to work in her garden the summer before her twins were born.

She said she was afraid she'd tip over if she tried to bend or stoop, & if she squatted or sat on a low seat, she couldn't reach around her big ole tummy.

When she was ready to go in, she'd holler for her hubs to come help her up.

Sally, Huh? You're sweet. I didn't think you'd say that! I do like being tall. I think I'd like being short too tho.
I weighted 200lbs with both boys. I looked like the Titanic! LOL!
sylvia, how's come we never see pictures of the truthfully cool stuff in life? I would laugh until I hurt myself seeing that. Dang,she was determined tho wasn't she? PJ

My first child was born in 1960. My MIL told "them" to put a knife under the bed to cut the pain. At that point the pain wasn't what I wanted to cut/Bobbitt.

LOL! PJ

I'm not even showing yet, but sometimes I do feel funny bending over, like I might fall! I'm so anxious for the weather to get warmer so I can get some stuff in/out of the ground! I may have to get a skate board or something so I can sit on it and roll down to the next section of the flower bed! haha!

How far along are you now?

You're getting all loosey goosey(joints softening I'll bet) It really does feel wierd to have your weight shift around.(Where's my center???) We want pics of the skate board method.LOL!PJ

AHA! This post subject line is why I thought PJ was pregnant. I may jump to conclusions, but I'm not crazy yet.

I figured as much. NOPE it's not me!!!PJ
