I’ve been laid up with a terrible headache since Friday afternoon, so I haven’t accomplished a whole lot this weekend. I did, however, manage to put the finishing touches on my most recent 3d image:

A Conversation
28 October, 2003 | Amy | No Comment
?Look at this, Robert. My boobs are resting on top of my stomach. I feel like a balloon that?s on the verge of popping.?
He barely glanced at me, grunted, and returned his attention to his book.
“This would be so much easier if I could just lay an egg like a chicken and sit on it until it was ready to hatch. In my next life, I’m coming back as a chicken…no, wait, in my next life I’m coming back as a man–and YOU can be the woman!”
He turned back towards me and said, “if I were the woman, just remember that I’d drive you nuts by worrying about everything…is the baby OK, do you think it was ok for me to eat that donut, what if the baby is allergic to cats…”
“Being bugged by you worrying isn’t nearly as bad as having to do all the worrying,” I insisted.
He snorted in disgust. “If you were a man you would much rather be having a blow job than this this conversation and if you were to indulge me now I promise to indulge you when you’re the man…”
It took a second or two for the import of his words to sink in (pregnancy hormones slow down the mental processes, don’t you know). Once it dawned on me what he had said I shrieked in protest, picked up a pillow and started beating him with it. Men.
Sick and Tired
23 October, 2003 | Amy | No Comment
Nothing really exciting has been going on at our house. We?re adjusting to having Robert?s sister, Robin, living with us. She?s much more of a night owl than we old fogies are 
Robert was sick most of the weekend, so we had to cancel our plans to go see a play on Saturday. Now poor Sam has got a wretched cough and a bit of a fever. He was in good enough spirits, so I took him to daycare anyway. I couldn?t miss another day of work since I played hooky yesterday due to another bout of morning sickness and the melodramatic experience of nearly passing out at the bus stop.
Tonight, a friend of Robert?s family will be staying with us. I kind of feel like we?re operating a combo hotel-hospital, except without the maids and nurses.
On the brighter side of things, I?ve been working on a new 3d image which I?m really proud of. It?s going to take the darned thing nearly two days to render due to the soft shadows effects I?m trying out, so it BETTER be good!
