Bullets! With Butterfly Wings*

by Leslie

My favorite post titles come from songs. Like this one. It’s a spin on Bullet With Butterfly Wings* by Smashing Pumpkins. You know, “Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage!” My spin on the lyrics would be: “Despite all my whining I’m still just a pregnant woman in a bloated body!!” Which explains why I’m only a rock star in my bathroom.

Today, my hands are so swollen, I cannot wear my wedding ring. (Sorry fellas! I’m not single, just retaining water.) I think I would feel less naked without a shirt than I do without my ring.

One week from today, I will no longer be pregnant. And hopefully you will find this space filled with an adorable photo of my just-born baby girl. Because my hospital room comes with Wi-fi and my husband comes with a camera. There’s a laptop involved, too.

Classmates.com e-mailed me because someone signed my guestbook today. They were real excited to tell me that 11 people have signed my guestbook in the past year. They told me to click to “uncover the mystery” and find out who has signed. I clicked and they didn’t tell me. They said I had to pay them to find out. Stupidheads.

Julia feels that it’s important for everyone to know that mosquito and burrito are words that rhyme. Also, Love Is A Battlefied is sung by Snow White.

I feel that it’s important for everyone to know that the only reason Julia is awake at 11:50 p.m. (and eating a popsicle) is because she’s been sick for the past day or so.

Wi Fi? In your room? Especially to broadcast us photos?

I love you.

Classmates.com reminds me an email I got about updating my listing. I had no idea what listing so I clicked on the link and was told I need to pay money to get listed. Scam!

Wifi in your hospital room? What will they think of next?

I hate classmates.com. I get those stupid emails all the time and its all I can do not to pay. But, isn’t Facebook and Myspace basically a free classmates.com? Yes, it is.

Hope Julia is feeling better.

Oh, and thanks for the song that is now stuck in my head.

I can’t comment. My mind is still trying to work its way past Snow White singing Love is a Battlefield.

Well, if love isn’t a battlefield for a Disney princess, I can’t think of any other battlefield-worthy chicks.

Classmates also emails me all the time, offering ego-stroking info of guestbook signatures and “where are they now” pictures. But I have MySpace (free) and Facebook (also free), and constant contact with more people from high school than I could ever hope for. So don’t shell out any money… it was me who signed your guestbook. Forget about it.

Wi-fi in your room? I so need to check out my hospital for this stuff. I can’t wait for Lucy’s pictures. And for you to feel less puffy, of course.

Classmates.com seems to be filled with people I don’t remember from high school. Same with MySpace. I wonder if it’s just that I don’t remember high school very well?

I think I removed my wedding ring about 2 months before I was due. It was a month or two after delivering before I could put it back on. Not sure if it was water retention or just weight gain. Plus I had to buy new shoes cause I had stretched all my favorites out!

And so laughing at the image of Snow White singing “Love is a Battlefield”. I would REALLY love to see that music video!
