Some yoghurt.

Well, you're showing as living in Asia, so good morning, maianhvk.

Back from dinner at Tuna House (_wonderful sushi_). Lots of green tea there. Now back at the hotel, and I think I'll have a final cup of Lapsang Souchong

and go read a book.

So, yeah. No screening tests for possible chromosomal defects until the twelfth week. All that matters right now is that there is a blob that will eventually transform into a human that is right where it is suppose to be size wise. And the Doctor does not think that I have any risk categories other then my age.

I am having a celebratory Ginger Ale.

Yay !!!! This baby is soooooo going to be called mobileblob...

Please Prof, do not stress, and enjoy the time, it is really special.

How exciting and thanks for sharing! We get to join in the exciting times ahead. Enjoy every second of this time (and take lots of pictures!). Have you started a journal of what life is like now? You know, recording how nice it is to sleep in on some days, being able to curl up with a book and read for as long as you like, being able to take a complete bath or shower without interruption? Also, the anticipation thoughts you have and what you are doing to get ready? I found it was great fun to reread what I had written about six months later and then a few years later. Finally, being able to reread it again, years later, brought back some beautiful memories.

I like that filter. Does it fit over the top to close in the heat?

I second that. Sweet filter.

Ok, I had to share this great news with you guys ... THERE'S A STARBUCKS IN GHENT!!! FINALLY!!! I was on my way to meet some friends with my BF yesterday and we drove past it. That made my day

Went to bed way too late last night and I barely slept, so it's coffee in my cup right now.

captkjaneway · 11-17-2011, 03:14 AM

Congrats ProfCrash!

I'm another Asian import by the way, originally from the UK ........supping a rather poor 2 + 1 Necafe sachet as too busy to hit the coffeee shop

I read for an hour in a Starbucks almost every day. My wife gave me a Starbuck's card as a Christmas present last year, and it's the gift that keeps on giving. Although I don't care for 'Tazo' brand teas when served hot, it's 'English Breakfast' tea is pretty good as ice tea, and that's what I have each day. Nice comfortable chairs, good company, good tea, and a good book! I like Starbucks. I hope you can enjoy yours as much!

I think it is a wonderful idea

That's not nasty! That's a wonderful wish! It's the 'search' for that photo that's important, not the finding it, and all the wonderful things I get to see along the way!

This is why I converted to Taoism. It's the 'path' that's important, not the destination.

I'm drinking a horrible mix of all my teas right now. I finished refilling tea bags and this is the mix of everything I spilled. Absolutely vile! In fact... I'm going to dump it and make a good cup!

Orangeade with zero added sugar in my cup.

Congrats again to ProfCrash. I hope everything goes well.

VydorScope · 11-17-2011, 06:39 AM

Water... then get the pleasure of taking my truck to the shop... in the rain....

ProfCrash · 11-17-2011, 07:31 AM

I need to stop and pick a mole skin note book to start my journal. Why a Mole Skin notebook? So I can get a new Oberon cover of course. (winks)

OJ with my Multi Grain Cheerios. I am going to take the toast and PB in the car with me.

Stitchawl: You have done the mix bag before. Has it ever been good?
