Well, I&#146ve finally made it to Arizona. Yesterday was a miserable day of traveling, I don&#146t want to talk about how annoying it was, but United Airlines sucks and being pregnant sucks and security checkpoints suck and $10 lunches on a frigging airplane suck.

Tomorrow I leave for San Diego. Yay! I am very excited. The weather isn&#146t going to be as swell as I hoped, but it is still san diego and it is still a super nice hotel and it is still four days with Marianne and after the stress of moving across the country I need a little bit of loafing. A lot bit actually.

I can&#146t believe we&#146re done with Boston. I can&#146t believe it. It still doesn&#146t feel real. It feels like I&#146ll be flying back in a week or so.

Also, for those of you on the edge of your seat, I have learned that Fox has renewed Arrested Development for another season. Couldn&#146t you just die with happiness?

It is sad that it has come to this, but no one ever said the truth had to be a beautiful happy thing, did they? Come November, John Kerry is getting my vote.

I think it&#146s time we all sang a little song, to make us feel better about the entire crappy situation. How about Lady, by Little River Band?

So lady, let me take a look at you now
You&#146re there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
Oh lady, I think it&#146s only fair I should say to you
Don&#146t be thinkin&#146 that I don&#146t want you, &#146cause maybe I do
Don&#146t be thinkin&#146 that I don&#146t want you, lady I do

I love that song more than I should probably admit.

I just read that the Detroit Zoo has decided to end their elephant exhibit due to ethical reasons and they are sending their two elephants to an animal sanctuary where they can roam with other elephants.

Sure, it is just one zoo, ending one singular animal exhibit, but it still makes me feel good.

Detroit isn&#146t all bad.

That&#146s how far along I am! 16 more weeks to go.

YIKES!

My friend Gina only has 8 more weeks left. 8 weeks! That is crazy insane. I wish I could see her. I find myself loving pregnant woman immensely these days, except for the really skinny ones who look all cute and perfect with their skinny bodies and nice big round bellys, their little belly button sticking out. I hate them. Okay, okay, I love them too, but I am envious. I wish I looked that cute. Oh well, we all have our lots in life and mine isn&#146t to be one of those tiny cute skinny pregnant women. Mine is to be a big cute pregnant woman. I&#146m okay with that. Mostly.

I feel bad that all I think about and talk about these days is being pregnant. How boring. But I suppose that&#146s just how it goes. The Onion had this article a few months ago called &#147Pregnant Woman Acting Like No One Ever Got Pregnant Before&#148 and it was so funny. That is how I feel! I am the first woman ever to be pregnant. Please act accordingly.

I would normally link to that onion article, but apparently you have to pay a subscription fee to access those archives. What a load.

Hey, speaking of pregnancy, on Saturday Phyllis (Gordon&#146s mother) and my friends gave me a surprise baby shower. It was so fabulous and I had such a great time that I am frightened. A baby shower is such a girly thing and I loved it! (What is Ryland doing to me?) I&#146ve never had a surprise anything before. I felt embarrassed and weird but in a good way. It was such a neat experience. And Ry scored some awesome gifts. Surprise baby showers are awesome.

Tomorrow morning a moving company comes and picks up all my crap to haul it to Tucson for me. Then, on Tuesday, the 25th, we fly to AZ. It is all suddenly happening so fast. I feel like I&#146m in a whirlwind. The baby is getting bigger what seems like every single second, I&#146m leaving my job, all my stuff is boxed up, I&#146m going to Tucson in a week, so many goodbyes and hellos.

I hope Boston will miss me as much as I&#146ll miss it.
