activity? fun activity? i am intrigued now.

ooh is Jaleo the one with Flamenco dancers?

i am such a home body...I've never even heard of these restaurants! How sad is that?! Mojitos sound yummy...it's been years!

A restaurant in Arlington...I have no idea what I'm in the mood for.

I can't remember the last time I went out on a double date. Nightlife ended a long time ago for me...I suppose that's partly why I started up my dance classes...so I could party with fun women in the neighborhood several times a week. Some may call it sad that my "night on the town" is an hour dancing with a bunch of women, but I can get down like I used to in my party days.

Find a Zumba class! You will work EVERY part of your body and its crazy fun!

this happened to my colleague. She was recently divorced, and when the news broke, many of my coworkers avoided her to avoid any uncomfortable conversation. Me, I tried to be understanding and offer my shoulder and ears should she need them. A few weeks went by before things returned to normal. But I suspect your friends are unsure of what to say...perhaps they are waiting for you to signal that you are okay emotionally before they approach you.

does anyone else hate daylight savings time? I hate that I have to walk in the dark after work.

several months without a paycheck? How do they even have employees?

I saved them after my first, I knew I would want another one down the road. After the second, I saved them only until I lost all the weight...and then I gave them to a pregnant friend.

my kids are excited about the election. School was closed today, but I took them with me so they could feel like a part of it.

I had all the candidates listed on one yellow sheet and I was carded. Everyone was nice except for the picketers outside who made me feel like I was going to pro-life rally instead of a voting booth.

I was shocked. I got there at 9:00 and there was no line at all! NADA! THere were people trying to shove their agendas in my face, but it took me less than 5 minutes to walk in the door, vote, put a sticker on my daughter and leave. This was in N. Arlington. HOORAY let the counting begin!

I had low amniotic fluid and was able to get it back up with bed rest and lots of fluid. However, I had an extremely stressful pregnancy with what was going on in my life at the time, and ended up delivering at 27 wks. She is almost 4 now and very healthy.

My advice to you: drink A LOT, rest, drink A LOT, whatever you can do to keep yourself calm and unstressed, and drink A LOT!
