I Left My Fart in San Francisco
*The archives are live if you want to watch!*
I'm pregnant. So sue me.
After struggling through the day with a son who just decided to have separation anxiety (read: total and utter hate for my sweet and lovely mother), a neighbor I didn't even know drove me to the airport and I was off to San Francisco.
In first class.
Now know this. Even though the huz works for the airlines, we have never been placed in first class. EVER. Of course, anyone we give a buddy pass to does. But us, never.
Until now. When I'm pregnant. And can only sniff the vodka tonic of my seat mate.
But hey. I got to cry my way through Juno, while eating a turkey focacia sandwich. And I got to stretch my long pregnant legs out and snooze.
So, we're here, and apparently we're going to be on View From the Bay this afternoon which you can watch live on your television in you live in the Bay area, but you can also watch us live via web stream (or via the archives if you're busy) from 3-4pm PST. I have no idea when in that hour we'll be on, but for a solid seven minutes, we will be showing off our favorite Mother's Day gifts from Cool Mom Picks (many of which are made by moms!).
I'll be the tall pregnant one in black. Hopefully not farting.
[ps. If you're looking for the genius water and sand table, it's the cool Target outdoor toy brand (don't know the name). $39.95]
Oh Assertagirl, you have no idea how long I labored over the choice of the earrings - and even then brought two back up pairs. Thank you for the vote of accessory confidence.

You are funny as hell sister!

For anyone who needs to know, the sand and water table is made by Little Tykes. We have one too, and I could actually kiss my dad and stepmom for buying it for my oldest when he was 4.

You both looked wonderful, and I just couldn't get enough of Liz' earrings.
Also I'm a bit of a bag whore and even though I don't have a baby I totally want that bag Heidi Klum's been carrying around!

I saw you on the show today! You two looked great! So relaxed, yet all witty and informative. Rock on.

I wish I was mobile enough to run up to visit you in person right now! I'm post-pregnant now (baby is 9 days old) but still being a bit of a slug around the house. Glad that you were able to arrange childcare to get out on this cool trip!

As your roommate, I can assure you that I am doing more farting than you are.

That all sounds so heavenly. Enjoy San Fran.

You know if the word 'fart' is in a title, I'm all over it.
I hope you two have fun! Wait, that's ridiculous. Your kid-free. Of course you'll have fun.

For when you are NOT pregnant: Even in the back the flight attendants usually comp your liquor for non-revs. Whoo!

I have the mentality of a 12 yo boy. Seltzer stings when snorted in laughter.

I love Juno! :)
Have a nice trip. Hopefully you'll get first class on the way back too!

I have been by to visit your blog in a while!!!
I've been missing some good stuff!
This post reminds me of when Miranda and Carrie were shoe shopping and Miranda pulled a ring off her swollen fingers and farted. (Sex adn The City - I hope you're a fan)

Juno was awesome, wasn't it?
Hope the TV gig goes well!
