These wide streets lead me back to the beginning ...

If they have room in Labor and Delivery, Amb and Phil should be heading down to the hospital soon to have the wee one. If. This morning all the beds were in use and they were told to call back tonight after 7 (which it is now) to see if they could accommodate her. Knowing Amb and Phil they're probably watching the Sharks (GO, SHARKS!) instead of readying themselves for the birth of their firstborn. Dorks.

Anyway. With any luck she'll get her bed and be induced tonight and have the kiddo sometime soon. Like, tonight. Or tomorrow morning. Either way would be fine with me.

BREAKING NEWS: They're heading to the hospital now.

I have a very strange thing to tell ... Cole has told me that he doesn't like peanut butter. What the hell is wrong with that kid? Obviously he was not spliced from my DNA. Weird kid. On the plus side, I get to eat all his peanut butter and chocolate Easter candy (which is probably also why I should be doing an hour of yoga a day instead of just 20 minutes). And another thing! How does he still have Easter candy left. As a kid, I used to go through that basket like a whore on crack. I probably used a different phrase to describe it back then, but that basket was toast within a week. Tops. Easter candy four weeks later. Pshaw.

Okay. Book.
Book #80 - Dark Desire (Carpathians #2) by Christine Feehan - Immensely better than the first book. However I'm going to go on record here as saying that vampires with amnesia is a kink of mine. Don't even ask. I can't explain it. Give me a book with a vampire who's damaged, mentally wiped, etc. and I'm putty (Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris kills me every time). Anyway. This is the story of Jacques, Mikhail's brother, and Shea, a human doctor whose research into her rare blood disease has led her to the Carpathian Mountains. Jacques has been tortured and buried alive and the only thing keeping him sane is Shea's presence in his mind. Shea's being hunted by fanatical "vampire hunters" who believe that her blood disease marks her as a vampire. I will say that Christine Feehan does provide clues in every book as to how the Carpathians are going to find a way to save their race from extinction. Little hints and the beginning of answers that start to make a big picture as you get farther into the series.

Ooh, Happy Town last night. Anyone watch? Did you like it? I did. It was just the right amount of murder and intrigue and mayhem for me. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm feeling a little bloodthirsty lately. Can you tell?

I'm done. I have to go make sure someone called my dad and sisters to tell them that the birth is imminent.
Later.
