Josh recently bought me a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone because he’s sick of not being able to discuss the finer points of the series with me. He has been trying to get me to read it since the books started coming out and I have always pushed off his harrassment claiming Read More
Josh has been pestering me since podcasting came out to do a podcast with him. But, we’ve never been able to come up with a good idea that would really fit us. We’d debate about all the things our *show* could be about, but it always ended up as a big messy podcast that contained Read More

Here are some new pregnant pictures of me for June. I’m around 26/27 weeks pregnant. The first few are at a friend’s wedding (June 9th) and the last ones are at our first baby shower thrown by my coworkers (and friends) at Hyde (June 16th). Enjoy! .
