With a Little Help from Our Friends

After our half-fun, half-traumatic experience with the baby registries, we had the kismet today of being offered some used stuff from friends who have now-toddlers. Our friend Hana offered us a swing and a bouncy chair. Susan offered a breast pump and possibly a jogging stroller! Thanks guys! These are so appreciated, and we are excited at any stuff we don't have to buy new, and put back into the environment--especially big, plastic and metal stuff!

I read in Women's Wear Daily that both Juicy Couture and Roxy are coming out with baby lines. Sweet! Mom, hint hint...

Our friend from Costa Rica surf camp who lives in LA and works in TV (on all my favorite crime-dramas!) is going to come to the San Diego shower. I'm so psyched! She says this about pregnant women on the subway: "Who cares whether you choose to have a baby and live in the city. If any of those men or women had been raised right, they would stand up immediately and offer their seat. That is common decency. The same argument could be made for old people. They're old and choose to live in the city, so fuck 'em. Let them fall over and break their hips on the train. In what world is that right? Pregnancy is a physical condition that causes stress and fatigue. I would be ashamed of myself if i was sitting while preggers was standing. It's just bad form. Those city dwellers have forgotten their compassion or something. Jerks."

Also, can we talk about the fact that last night's episode of The L Word was the best yet? The drama is just beginning, and Jenny had to face up to her own crazy, Bette is truly struggling in an interesting way (and having hot sex nevertheless!), Shane is getting some dignity, Helena is becoming a hooker, and Alice (Leisha Hailey, left, who once dated kd lang!! Fashion SO much better now.) is, well, Alice (the Phyllis storyline is quelle tragique). Rock on!!
