In It For The Parking

Yes, that's right, boys and girls - this is, in fact, a post both about boobs and small animals. No, this is not a cheap ploy to get readers.

Ok. It's a cheap ploy to get readers... but it's also true!!!

First thing's first: BOOOOOBS!!!!

Alright, you granola mommas out there - if you needed one more reason to pimp the benefits of breastfeeding, here it is. Exclusively breastfeeding your babies for at least 2 months after pregnancy lowers the risk of MS relapse/exacerbation after pregnancy by more than 50%. (Story here)


Random internet propaganda booby baby says,
"Join the fight against MS! I'm doing my part!" :)

Today, I'm doing really great. Day 2 of no steroids, and some of Adam's good friends are in town from Chicago. We went out for dim sum, and I even had enough energy to go walking around Chinatown. I can't say I'm that surprised, though - last night I walked for a half hour around the neighborhood. I'm really feeling great! And I feel even better about feeling great. :)

And now, cute animals! (And your picture of the day!)



That's Brody (upside down) and Piglet, two of our first fosters, adopted out in January. I love renting cute and then giving it to other people to enjoy. I wish we had some babies right now! Soon, though - it *is* kitten season in March, afterall. If anyone's interested in learning more about kitten fostering, please let me know!

Happy Caturday, everyone!

It's seven minutes to 1 am, and I am *wired* still. Obviously, this means that it is tea time! (What? Don't give me that look! Tea fixes everything!)

In all seriousness, I've tried tons of sleep-aids in my ripe old 28 years, and I have to say that Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Plus Wellness tea is by *far* the best for me. No awful next-day fog, no need for a prescription, no nothin - just 2 cups of tea and 30-45 minutes. I love that stuff.

Other things I really love: 3 days of no seizures at all!

I'm also stoked because it's exactly 2 months until the 2009 MS Walk. I'm still looking for people to join my team, and I am totally pimping this site out to get members. I don't care if you walk. I don't care if you are in the same country! I just want all of us -- all of my friends -- to join together in this year's fundraising effort.

I'm going to be headed to some local stores to see if they'll do a "Give a dollar to MS" for a sticky note that goes somewhere, or for a small raffle or something.

Did I mention that I'm feeling better? Because I'm feeling *better* - and I mean it in that kind of "I actually feel like myself" kind of way. It's been *so* long since I felt like this that I don't trust it.

Of course, yesterday I also managed to fall in my neurologist's parking lot. I didn't even get all the way out of the car before my foot went out from under me. Wanna see my strawberry? ( Cut for the squeemish )

Heh, I just realized that silliness could be a picture of the day. *lol*
