Yes...still pregnant
Today is my 1st due date (doctor's estimate) - and, well, nothing. Absolutely nothing is happening. I'm getting more and more tired and the belly is heavier and heavier. I am passing the day with being busy, anxious, bored and tired.
If you want to help, you can... email (or call) me and tell me about your exciting life. Or you can come bring me some brownies. You could've also recorded the 3rd season of Six Feet Under and bring it to me to watch on tape. I would love you for that. Or a bunch of "Trading Spaces" episodes. For that, I'd make YOU brownies!
With little to do I am helplessly condemned to local daytime tv - and if you've ever had the opportunity to be sick or something like that, that made you stay at home in front of the tv during those hours - you KNOW what I'm talking about. What trash.
Anyway, since I'm nice and it's blueberry time, I'll give you this recipe that's the best of its kind that I've found so far. (For the Europeans: Use a standard yogurt-cup for the "cup" or a standard-sized coffee mug)
