Off the pill.
For years now I have been telling anyone who would listen that she is the best writer on the internet, and despite my near overwhelming love of the fart jokes and sordid tales of liquor and sex that first led me to her site, her stories have only become better since pregnancy and motherhood.
It seems that I'm not the only one who has noticed.
Not that she needs any more publicity (especially from me), but Mrs. Armstrong just won herself four Bloggie awards.
I, as you may have noticed, did not win any Bloggies. Nor was I nominated. And Lord knows, I need all the stroking I can get.
Subsequently, I have decided to have a baby too. I would try just being smart and funny but, frankly, getting knocked up seems way more likely.

Maybe you could get a Chuck dog instead? It would save you from having an episiotomy...

I think you're amazing and shoulda, coulda, woulda won some Bloggies! Next year, we can so totally - in the very least - get you nominated!
We'll work on the award part too.

maybe you would win an award if you adopted a midget, re-named him The Mighty Midget, and chronicled your joint adventures together. people love midgets. they're fascinating, really.

You gave up and came back? Oh. Well. I'm sure you had a nice time while you were gone. Somehow I feel...letdown. I'm sure you'll be back to your usual self soon.

jeeeeeesus people. i did not "give up" (i've been getting this a lot). i came home a total of four days early (three days shy of two months) in order to fix my computer, get my visas for my next set of travels and see a girl who has had my near complete attention since i arrived. the computer is at apple, i have two visas left to go, and the flights are already reserved. within two to three weeks, depending how long those apps and the repairs take, i'm off again. for three or four months.
