I was walking out of Copps today and saw a woman I recognized walking behind a man pushing a baby. It was Prokos - she made a quarter of a smile at me (I doubt she knew who I was). Is this old news that she had a baby?

I will be in Rapids June 2nd, then in Ripon June 3rd and 4th for Tim's wedding. I probably won't be in town too long afterr that, since I have to get back for work, but I would like to try and hang out with people anyway, if anybody is in town.

In addition to that....

I am pretty sure that I am going to be going to my parents' place on Saturday afternoon, spending Sunday there and then heading back on Monday. I don't know if I'll make it out to Marshfield (might be too much of a drive) and I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I think Belts and Taco Johns are definitly in the picture! Its too bad the Bean isn't at home this weekend

Just in case anyone will be in the Rapids area over Memorial Day weekend you are invited to stop by our campsite at the NORTH Wood County park - it's towards Marshfield off of A. We are at campsite #93 and will be there around noon tomorrow until 3ish on Monday probably!

I've been talking with Alec about this question but he is just as confused as I am.

I'm not supposed to be home now, in fact, I should be in Sandusky, Ohio (the hometown of Sugar Kane/Kowalczyk from Some Like it Hot (aka one of my very favorite movies, and my favorite Marilyn Monroe flick)) in a tent with my boyfriend. Instead, I drove home at midnight, and am here writing this post and talking to people at quarter after four in the morning.

The story is long and complex about that, but the root was the relentless browbeating of my boyfriend by the outing organizer for something that he had apologized for, had no adverse effects, and could not be undone (but simply could have been bad though the chance was so incredibly insignificant). The outing organizer had made many posts on the online thread for this outing that he all strongly indicated that he really didn't like my boyfriend, so I met him with this in mind. Then he relentlessly called my boyfriend an asshole, and, in the course of doing that, very sternly looked at him and was like "seriously, I want to kill you" Later, I am to believe that the organizer and my boyfriend are friends, and that the organizer routinely "threatens to kill people"

This, undoubtedly reminds Erica of the fights I had with Follis and begs the questions...

When did we become so tolerant of jerks in our society? Is it something about "computer geeks" that brings this on? (this is a group of people from SomethingAwful) Or is this normal? Does every social circle just have that one asshole that everyone tolerates and even likes because of his assholery (or at least everyone tells him that they like it)?

Today, a friend told me that people hang out with assholes because the assholes are nice to them and that makes them feel good. I relate to that feeling, but I know better now. My friend also told me to hang out with people that have more self esteem, and he is right.

Here's me and my baby at 11 weeks and 1 day along. Most women don't 'pop' (i.e. the large hard belly starts to stick out) until they are closer to 5 or 6 months if it's their first pregnancy. I'm a little concerned there's more than 1 little kid in there since I'm barely 4 months and have definitely 'popped' already! We have a sonogram scheduled for the 16th and we'll find out if we hear just 1 heartbeat or if there's actually 2 in there! Hopefully, only 1, not sure how I would deal with 2 babies at once! Anyways, I'll try to keep weekly pics posted on my website and I won't post a billion here so go there if you are interested!  

Attention

Unless you absolutly have to (because no other airline goes there and driving is not an option) do not fly Northwest. I knew this, but I had to experience the rudeness myself to really understand. The customer service is a joke - they are rude and un-helpful.
